  2. Well since the decade is closing, what are some of your highlight albums for this decade?

     

    For me there are many, but some perfect ones (that will even have their own threads)

     

    David Bowie - Blackstar (2016)

    Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell (2015) *Might be my favorite album of the decade, very excited to talk about this more*

    Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly (2015)

    Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition (2016)

    Flying Lotus - Cosmograma (2010)

     

     

    Many many more amazing albums, but these are my 10/10 of the decade

  3. ZiggyStardust.jpg 220px-Blackstar_%28Front_Cover%29.png

     

     

    Part 5: David Bowie

     

    Albums:

     

    The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (1972)

    Blackstar (2016)

     

     

     

    Genre: Glam Rock, Pop Rock, Art Rock

     

     

    David Bowie is one of my favorite artists of all time, and they so many albums that come so close to 10/10 to me including The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, Low, "Heroes". I put these 2 above the others because of the emotions I feel while listening to these albums. All the others are amazing, but I just feel completely different after listening to Ziggy and Blackstar.

     

     

    I can honestly say also that I may like Blackstar more than Ziggy. Blackstar is one of my all time favorite albums and the confronting of his death is so sad and dark, yet beautiful in the way he expresses it. Its so hard to decide on my favorite songs from the 2 albums but I will try (and miss many)

     

    If I had to choose 5 I would say:

    1. Moonage Daydreamer

    2. Starman

    3. Rock n Roll Suicide

    4. Blackstar

    5.I Can't Give Everything Away

     

    I am missing so many, but having to choose 5 is impossibly hard.

     

    What are your favorites that I am missing?

  4. Could I tryna similar format to this? I like it!

     

    Of course you can, I’m really interested in what u choose, I’ll be watching out for them

     

    I may try "favourite bands" and do a brief summary on their discography, as I have a lot of love for bands and artists this forum isn't keen on

     

    Im excited to get to my list of albums maybe less people on this site may know, for example my arcade fire album is super popular and amazing, but on this site it may be lesser known

  5. Black_Sabbath_debut_album.jpg Black_Sabbath_-_Paranoid.jpg Black_Sabbath_SbS.jpg

     

    Part 4: Black Sabbath

     

    Albums:

     

    Black Sabbath (1970)

    Paranoid (1970)

    Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973)

     

    Genre: Heavy Metal, Hard Rock

     

    Black Sabbath is in my top 3 favorite Metal Bands easily, and could even be my favorite metal band ever. We all know the genius of Paranoid and out of the 3, that is probably my favorite and most listened to album of the 3. Not a single song I don't enjoy (even planet caravan which is one of my favorite songs by them, highly underrated)

     

    Black Sabbath is next, the dark and creepy cover fits with the first song so well. The who album is a joy, and NIB probably being my second favorite song by them (following Fairies Wear Boots)

     

    Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is different from the other 2, using a lot more keyboards and strings and the flute, it brings a more progressive rock feeling to the album, and Ozzy's vocals on this album is incredible.

     

    All 3 are just about perfect in my eyes.

     

    An album that was close to making a 10/10 for me is Heaven and Hell, Ronnie James Dio is just an excellent vocalist and that album is just incredible, but not quite as amazing as the rest.

     

     

     

    Favorite Songs from the 3 albums:

     

    Black Sabbath

    The Wizard

    NIB

    War Pigs

    Planet Caravan

    Electric Funeral

    Fairies Wear Boots

    Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

    Killing Yourself to Live

     

    I could pick many more just from these 3 albums, but I will stop there.

     

    Do you agree with my choice? Or do you believe I have missed out on an album.

  6. MMT is an interesting choice. Blue Jay Way and Flying are both subpar Beatles' tunes, which keeps it from being flawless. Abbey Road is a no brainer.

     

    FWIW, I think both the white album and Sgt. Pepper are perfect albums. The white album, in particular. It's my favorite studio album ever.

     

    I should be careful when I say flawless, because I really don't think an album can truly be flawless. But MMT is a 10/10 for me even though I wouldn't say flawless, I do agree about Blue Jay Way being kinda a dud, but the score stands for me.

  7. I also want to highlight Purple Mountains again

     

    First time listening to an album with David Berman in it, he was also in Silver Jews

     

    Unfortunately he took his own life in August this year.

     

    An album I highly highly recommend for everyone.

     

    R.I.P David Berman :rose:

  8. Best of the Best:

     

    Jai Paul Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones)

     

    Tyler, the Creator - Igor

     

    Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising

     

    Purple Mountains - Purple Mountains

     

    Amazing Albums:

     

    Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Bandana

     

    Danny Brown - uknowhatimsayin¿

     

    The Comet Is Coming - Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery

     

    Really good albums still worth checking out:

     

    Lana Del Rey - Norman f***ing Rockwell!

     

    King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Infest the Rats' Nest

     

    Thom Yorke - ANIMA

     

    Magma - Zëss : Le jour du néant

  9. 91Sx7bFxVmL._SY355_.jpg Beatles_-_Abbey_Road.jpg

     

     

     

    Part 3: The Beatles

     

    Albums:

     

    Magical Mystery Tour (1967)

    Abbey Road (1969)

     

    Genre: Psychedelic Pop, Pop Rock

     

     

     

     

    I don't have to explain why The Beatles are amazing, but it may be interesting to see Magical Mystery Tour in here as one of my favorite albums. Not sure how to explain it either really.

     

    I will say I do think Abbey Road is better and is indeed a flawless album, but I think both are just about perfect and are 10/10 for me.

     

    Like I said before, there isnt much to explain for me, I guess its just the Beatles and these albums are the top for me.

     

    Some albums that were close but I dont see exactly as 10/10 are The White Album and Sgt Pepper.

    Part 2: Arcade Fire

     

    Album: Funeral (2004)

     

    Genre: Indie Rock, Chamber Pop, Art Rock

     

     

    See? Canada is good for more than Rush.

     

    But for real what an incredible album, this is an album (like many in my list) that looking into what was going on in their lives before this album was made.

     

    The album is called funeral because each member of the band had someone close to them pass away before the release of the album.

     

    Themes of death are all throughout the album, but also about growing up and changing as time goes on.

     

    My favorite aspects of this album are definitely the use of violins and the vocals. This album really is incredible and I do recommend for all music lovers.

     

    Its hard to chose a favorite song on here, but I would go with the first song, Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels). It sends the tone for the rest of the album, and Win Butler is a very emotional singer.

  11. Long time no see, I have been very very busy recently with school and work and all that fun stuff, but I have wanted to come back, so here is the start of my new series of threads.

     

    I have listened to A LOT of music this past year and I want to share some of my favorites ever.

     

    On my rating system, I have listened to over 1000+ albums and I have a total of 83 albums (currently) that I would say are a 10/10 masterpiece.

     

    Obviously these will be my opinion and very bias to what I like. Some albums I will explain to why they are 10/10 and some not i will not.

     

    Not sure how often I will do this but lets get started. (This will be done in alphabetical order)

     

    Part 1: The Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East

     

    AllmanBrothersBandAtFillmoreEast.jpg

     

     

    One of the my favorite live albums ever and definitely one of the best (if not the best) jam band albums.

     

    What an amazing guitar player Duane Allman was. Just an album that I never get sick of and enjoy to the max each and every time I listen to it.

     

    Favorite Track: Whipping Post or Statesboro Blues

  12. I have a feeling there will be a sequel with these characters.

     

    Tyrion's "ask me in 10 years" line. Plus, the open ended endings with Grey Worm, Arya, Jon in the North, etc.

     

    I was wondering that about Jon and Arya as well. Aren't there supposed to be spinoff(s) already planned? I dunno.

     

    There are going to be prequels, I think George said this is the end though for the series.
