Coming Soon, *12 Perfect Albums

To pay tribute to my 12 favourite albums of all time, I have decided to run a series of reviews of the 12 albums listed below which I believe to be the best ever recorded. The 12 albums will be as follows

Axis: Bold As Love - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Elephant - The White Stripes
Funeral - Arcade Fire
Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
Odelay! - Beck
OK Computer - Radiohead
Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine
Screamadelica - Primal Scream
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
Because of the Times - Kings of Leon
Berlin - Lou Reed
Up The Bracket - The Libertines

These articles will be put up in the near future in any order. Comment with your ideas/favourite albums too, to help me get a grasp of what other people like, not just myself :p
(I put two more in due to some obvious realisations that weren't in my mind when I put this post up)

Hello...I happened to see your blog by chance and I am so impressed and amazed with your knowledge and love of quality music. 15 year olds in the States just do not have a grasp of what good music truly is. Please continue to write, and I will continue to read your thoughts, ideas, and reviews from across the pond!

Not all 15 year olds in the UK have such a grasp of what good music truly is, either ;)
It just so happens that you've stumbled across one with very very good taste (:
Tell your friends!

Can't wait for this new feature - they happen to be ten of my favourite albums, too :)

Rachel, I am one step ahead of you...I already told a few friends ;)

Rachel said...

Haha, I was saying that jokingly - but I'm sure the blog's author is very grateful ;)

Yes, only a few of us have such refined taste in music.

Jack Collins said...

shut up andrew. you think the best band ever are the maccabees. you do not have a refined taste in music.

but you do have a point. however there must be 15 year old's in NY with a good grasp of music knowledge too! who else would be going to the MGMT, Vampire Weekend and Strokes gigs?

PS...while leaving this comment, the "word verification" I had to enter was..."beck." Very peculiar, yet appropriate for this blog. Just thought I'd share.
