Music lists of albums that I like. Mostly rock.
35 of the Weirdest Albums Ever Made
Disclaimer
These some very weird albums. Obviously, everyone understands
weirdness differently, so I tried to include albums that are objectively, "totally bonkers".
Again, obviously, I haven't listened to every strange and experimental album ever made,
that would be impossible. So if anyone has any further suggestions, please comment.
Now I have included two small excerpts of each album, as I ususally do, but believe me,
in this case THEY ARE NOT representative of how the albums sound.
Basically if you want to know how the albums do sound you would have to listen to each one
from start to finish.
That's why for the first time I decided to include mini descriptions/reviews of each album.
Note that by saying that an album is weird I DO NOT say that it is good or bad,
just that they sound different from what is the norm.
Personally, I enjoy some of them more than others.
P.S. 1 Albums are in alphabetical order
P.S. 2 Only one album per artist
P.S. 3 If you feel that some "famous" weird albums are missing, keep watching till the end ;-)

The 50 Greatest Stoner Rock Albums
Переглядів 4,9 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer These are my favourite stoner rock albums. Not many things to say here, just that I didn't include the new-old heavy psych scene that has developed in recent years, with considerable success, I must say. I also decided to include some early albums that were crucial for the development of the scene but cannot be called "Stoner Rock" as the term hadn't been invented yet. Also included ...
The 50 Greatest Albums in a language other than English
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer These are my favourite albums sung entirely in a language other than English. It is of course impossible to listen to every album or artist from every country around the world, so I focused more on releases that have a degree of recognition in their home country and/or the genre of music they represent. Up to 2 albums per artist. Feel free to comment! P.S. Albums are in alphabetical ...
The 50 Greatest Punk Rock Albums
Переглядів 8 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer These are my favourite punk albums. With punk being around since 1976 and so many subgenres being recognized, I had to enforce some rules again, so that this list doesn't become huge. (1) Punk is an attitude, yes, but punk is first and foremost a sound. So I chose those subgenres which are closer to the original sound as it was invented back in the 70's (punk rock, anarcho-punk, Horr...
The 40 Greatest Gothic Rock Albums of all time
Переглядів 12 тис.Рік тому
(Reupload and Expansion af an earlier List) Disclaimer These are my favourite gothic rock albums. As always a few guidelines. (1) I considered albums that fall in the "classic" gothic rock sound. (2) That means that I didn't include electronic, industrial and gothic metal artists. (3) Up to 3 albums per artist. Feel free to comment! P.S. 1 - Albums are in alphabetical order. P.S. 2 - It's the o...
The 40 Greatest Krautrock Albums
Переглядів 36 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer These are my favourite krautrock albums. Not any significant guidelines this time, just an obvious one. The bands should be from a german-speaking country, that is, Germany, Austria or Switzerland. From then on, the usual (1) Up to 3 albums per artist. (2) Albums are in alphabetical order Feel free to comment! Keep watching till the end of the video...
The 25 Greatest Psychedelic Rock Albums (same list - reupload)
Переглядів 90 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer The albums are my personal favourites but also have to follow 3 other criteria: (1) They must have some kind of artistic merit (no guilty pleasures) (2) They must be recognized and adequately succesful at the time of release. (3) They have to clearly belong in the psychedelic rock genre. Feel free to comment! P.S. 1 Albums are in alphabetical order P.S. 2 Only one album per artist
30 Really Bad Albums by Great Artists
Переглядів 1,4 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer Since there are a lot of notoriously bad albums made by great artists, I had to apply a simple rule about which of them to choose. For that I used the rating of the RYM (rateyourmusic) website. It's a website where (1) users, not critics, rate albums (2) has been online for close to 20 years (and no, they are not payin' me!) As a frequent user of this web site, I think that an adequa...
The Greatest Album Runs Ever (Part I - Rock & Pop)
Переглядів 1,2 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer These are in my opinion the greatest album runs ever, in the genres of rock and pop music. But first let's see what I mean by album run: (1) For this video, an album run is made by 5 or more consecutive albums. 4-album runs are mentioned at the end of the video. (2) Live albums, compilations, collaborative albums, film scores and similar "special" releases are not taken in considerat...
The 20 Scariest, Most Disturbing Albums Ever
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer These are in my opinion some of the scariest, most disturbing albums ever released. Not a lot of guidelines here the title is more or less self-explanatory. Just 1 album per artist. Feel free to comment and give your own picks! P.S. As always albums are listed in alphabetical order
The 50 Greatest Extreme Metal Albums
Переглядів 1,8 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer These are my favourite extreme metal albums. As always a few things to clarify. (1) Most of the times in metal heavy = extreme, but for me this is not always the case as I think that it's the combination of lyrics, artwork image etc that makes a band extreme. (2) That's why I considered albums that are mostly out of the genres of Black Metal, Death Metal and Grindcore (including all ...
The 40 Greatest Thrash Metal Albums (reupload & expansion)
Переглядів 1,6 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer These are my favourite Thrash Metal albums. It is a reupload and expansion of my original list. The criteria remain the same, that is: (1) Up to 2 albums per band with one notable but I believe justifiable exception. (2) They have to clearly belong in the Thrash Metal genre. Two of the albums can be consider as beloging to the Crossover Thrash genre but I decided to include them anyw...
The 25 Greatest American Heavy Metal Albums
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer These are my favourite American Heavy Metal albums. As always, some ground rules first. (1) As the title says the albums have to be from American artists and they have to be classic Heavy Metal, that is, no Hard Rock, no Glam "Hair" Metal and no Progressive Metal. (2) I decided to include what is by some sites referred to as US Power Metal because to my ears doesn't have so many diff...
The 40 Greatest Progressive Rock Albums (same list - reupload)
Переглядів 89 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer These are my favourite progressive rock albums. Again I had to set some ground rules so that things do not become chaotic. (1) For me the first Progressive Rock album is King Crimson's first album released on the 10th of October 1969. Anything before that is not taken into consideration. (2) The Progressive Metal genre is going to be covered in a separate list, so no albums from that...
25 More of the Greatest Psychedelic Rock Albums (same list - reupload)
Переглядів 12 тис.Рік тому
Disclaimer This is part II of my favorite psychedelic rock albums. There are some things to consider about this list in regards to my first one. (1) When I made the first list I decided to put in there the most widely recognized and popular albums. It's not that I didn't like them, it's just that these albums had priority over some less known ones. In this video there is no such limitation. (2)...

The First Albums for each Rock and Metal Genre (from 1964 to 2002)
Grazie ..avrei inserito anche Aria di alan Sorrenti molto progressive …e visto che c’è Third (soft machine) anche The end of an ear di Robert Wyatt che è …oltre il prog … …si tratta comunque di opinioni personali 😊
OMG ‘66 - ‘67 - ‘68 - WE WERE AWASH IN INCREDIBLE MUSIC!
Listing three albums by RUSH and only one by ELP and two by Genesis? That is skewed priorities.
Glad you put Zappa's One Size Fits All on the list. Been arguing for years that it is a progressive rock album. Interesting list.
You've obviously never heard of Arthur Brown.
some of the groups on the list, I have never heard of. Mostly good. Vanilla Fudge & Donovan were very good 3
Catapilla?
Captain Beyond, debut album, 1972…
Eloy - Ocean, The Mars Volta - de-loused in the comatorium, Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2 Scenes From A Memory Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade Of Gray Haken - The Mountain Marillion - Misplaced Childhood Maudlin of the Well - Part The Second Opeth - Blackwater Park Pain Of Salvation - Remedy Lane Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime Riverside - Second Life Syndrome Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused to Sing Transatlantic - The Whirlwind
One of the greatest Stoner Rock albums I've heard that isn't featured is actually Lowrider's sophomore album Refractions. Released in 2020 after a very long 20 year hiatus. The closing track Pipe Rider is personally my ultimate favorite Stoner Rock song ever made. It's this sludgetastic 11 1/2 min MONSTER and builds spectacularly off of a monumentally epic riff that slays thru several passages that just keeps increasing with grandiosity. Really heavy but incredibly accessible and ear-wormy. For the Stoner Rock community, don't miss out! Lowrider dropped one of the most impressive and overlooked comeback records of the decade so far
very good choice but missing the essential Janis Joplin
Bodkin s/t,Fuzzy Duck s/t.
Great list but a few are more progressive than psychedelic. If it doesn't break free and remind you of tripping it aint really psychedelic. Biggest omissions for me are The Golden Dawn, the Grateful Dead and the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. A lot of the best psych pioneers never got to cut an album so singles are often the way to go.
The Doors? Really?
Without 13th Floor Elevators and The Seeds it’s just not psychedelic.
You made some good picks. I would submit that "After Bathing at Baxters" is a better pick for Jefferson Airplane. Just my opinion. I'm glad you picked "S.F. Sorrow" in this bunch. Good stuff.
Arthur Brown 🎉
I bet you've never done psychedelics, a necessary ingredient!
Need l.s.d. or mushrooms
There is no such thing as Psychedelic Rock! These are Acid Rock albums. Psychedelic Rock was a term someone made up 30 years after these albums were released. Acid Rock refers to LSD, the drug, which when taken and then listen to this music creates a extra sensual experience. Which can be referred to as ‘Psychedelic.’ During the time these albums were released no one ever referred to them as Psychedelic Rock. No DJ, no record producer, no musician. Psychedelic Rock is way a later generation tried to clean up the language to remove the fact that this music was created and listened to around illicit drug use. You can say the music is psychedelic to explain the experience, but was never ever identified as anything but Acid Rock! Live with it. .
Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica? Holger Czukay's Movies? The Residents?
It's a Beautiful Day should be on this list.
Not complete 😢you missed so many
Yes have all these, Germany has produced some fabulous bands , my favs late 60s-early 70s...
You Won’t Get What You Want is only disturbing when you realize what Alexis Marshall did to Kristin Hayter. :/
I have at least halfof what you've shown here, even more. There's a couple that you shown that had in my hands in Rasputins on Telegraph Ave but sadly, they were some of my put backs ,thinking I'd pick em' up laterand.... well, you know how it goes lol. I ❤ my collection and its massive. 😮 Thanks for sharing yours. 👍
Psychedelic is a state of mind and all things emanate from the mind so really all music is Psychedelic.
Kansas? Masque or Leftoverture?
Human Instinct ! Fantastic New Zealand psych
Thing fish, zappa.
13th Floor missing. No Baxters?
Would have Crucifix , Dehumanization in there !
Spirit is the most underrated band of all time!!!
I saw them play live at Fillmore West, they were classic LA schlock. Most cliche ridden drum solo I ever heard from Ed Cassidy
Aphrodite’s Child -666
Traffic - Dear Mr Fantasy Velvet Underground
And... Where are The Dictators? It's punk metal, but I think that they should be here
And Sunshine superman, Donovan, august 1966??????
17 out of 40 :)
The Zombies and the Amboy Dukes featuring Ted Nugent, Leonard Cohen and The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Axis: Bold As Love, The Doors Strange Days and every Melvins album they’ve released!

We're most greatest albums of King Crimson and Rolling Stones?! Why Doors doing in this list?
a nice reminder of those bands, you missed some few :)
Amon Düül ll‘s „Yeti“ is for sure one of the most psychedelic records of all time.
I Quite aggree! You cant much more Psych then Early A.D.2 ..amon dull one ain't bad either!
@ Right my friend!
I have 17 of those albums myself. But where is Gentle Giant? One of the absolute best prog rock bands ever.
The serpent Power The red krayola
