10 Great Albums You Probably Don't Have

10 Great Albums You Probably Don't Have
By Rick

As the title indicates these are just 10 great albums you probably don't have. Do I think they are the 10 best albums ever... no, do I love all of these albums and think other people would enjoy them too... yes. There is no order to this, just a list of 10 really great albums you should get. And no I'm not doing this list to look cool and indie, these are just 10 albums I honestly and truely think deserve a wider audience. Enjoy.

Marquee Moon by Television
This album is incredible. It's constantly overlooked when talking about the great albums of the 70's. Rolling Stone put it as #128 all time and still so many people don't have this. What a shame.

Music From Big Pink by The Band

Another one of the classics that a lot of people don't own. The Band is possibly one of the most underrated bands all time, and Big Pink shows that. Wonderful musicians, wonderful songs, and a wonderful album.

The Weight
Tears of Rage






You're A Woman, I'm A Machine by Death From Above 1979

Here come some newer albums. This is the only full length studio album Death From Above ever recorded. This album will make you want to drink, dance, fight and fuck all at the same time. Unfortunately these guys broke up a few years back and we never will get another album. :(
Romantic Rights (Live)
Going Steady
We Don't Sleep At Night



Rated R by Queens of the Stone Age

Josh Homme is a guitar god. The fact is plain and simple. He was part of Kyuss, which if you don't know anything about Kyuss get educated, and QOTSA is probably one of the best things going musically right now. This is the bands second album, so they perfected the sound that brought them into the forefront but still weren't a household name yet. They wouldn't even be seen on MTV until Songs for the Deaf. The album starts off with an exclamation point and doesn't let up the entire time. Truely a pleasurable album.
Feel Good Hit of the Summer
The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret





Vaya by At the Drive-In

What happens when you reassemble the pieces of Sparta and The Mars Volta... you get At the Drive-In, duh. At the Drive-In went on to create two alt. rock powerhouses, but often their greatness is overlooked. Omar shreds, Cedric belts it out, and the result is some groovy experimentaly stuff.

Dandelion Gum by Black Moth Super Rainbow


I orginally heard about this album because I dug Tobacco's Fucked Up Friends album, and I am happy to have stumbled upon this little electronic piece of heaven. A fun album to listen to whilst walking across campus late at night fucked up.

Sun Lips








Strawberry Weed by The Caesars


Honestly if you look at this album as not being the best album ever you begin to think its a great album, if that makes any sense. It's fun, poppy, and gives me a 70's feel.

Board Up the House by Genghis Tron

Genghis Tron is a metal band with no drummer. This sounds like madness. No it sounds like this...
Colony Collapse
Board Up the House
Things Don't Look Good

They program the drums and play along side that live. Programming drums, a hip hop trick, used for metal... wowzers! These guys really are an incredible band. I unfortunately passed up seeing them for free. I was in a bad place then and kick myself everyday for not going. Check out this record if you can handle a little metal...

A Long Hot Summer by Masta Ace


I just recently discovered Masta Ace after hearing Nostalgia on mtvU. He is a real good rapper, doing stuff that has thought behind it. A Long Hot Summer is a great concept album, and seeing as I didn't have this until last week I dont think many other people do either. Real hip hop done for the sake of hip hop.

Good Ol' Love
H.O.O.D.
Top Ten List






Insomnia Rhymes by Cabes
Speaking of real hip hop, Cabes really puts it down. Check him out at his myspace. I really love this album its one of my favorite of all time. Support local music. If you want this album get in touch with me or conor and we'll make sure you get hooked up with a copy or a download link.

Hot Bitch of the Day
Jessica Biel

She's dating JT, who I think is probably a cool guy in real life, and the was just on the SNL this past weekend. Oh ya... shes also a stone cold fox. The ex-7th Heaven-er has gone on to become one of the hottest women in Hollywood, and believe you me I didn't mind seeing her change in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Too bad she won't take back her stance of no nudity on screen :(. Jessica Biel, welcome to the ranks of Hot Bitch Of the Day.
