I have certainly seen the Soft Boys named in many music mags and what not......but never followed up, for some reason. I think I believed they were too experimental, not musical enough. But they are EXACTLY the type of slightly off center, guitar based, smart and clever band that I am always searching for (like The dB's, Game Theory, Wire Train, Let's Active, The Feelies, Velvet Crush etc. ) and now thanks to you, Mike Shannon, I just ordered the c.d. for 10 bucks on amazon!

    This was an excellent topic for a show and something I’ve considered many times. Definitely looking forward to episode 2.
    My list is quite long, but trying to avoid the common choices:
    The Bends - Radiohead
    The Joshua Tree -U2
    Ten - Pearl Jam
    Wish you were here - Pink Floyd
    The Thirteenth Step - A Perfect Circle
    Coliseum Rock - Starz (admittedly I may be on my own with this one)
    Gathering of Freaks - Freak of Nature
    Permanent Waves - Rush
    Metallica - Metallica
    Although I have never thought about it before, I agree with Martin that Never Mind the Bollocks would fall into this list.
    Also, Martin’s podcast History in 5 songs ranking Zeppelin albums in context is definitely worth a listen. Their albums are almost considered untouchable but when compared to other albums released at the time it makes you think otherwise.

  • @Maximillian200HP
    @Maximillian200HP 3 роки тому +5

    "Perfect" albums IMO
    Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King (I agree 100% with Pete)
    Metallica - Master of Puppets
    Amon Amarth - Once Sent From the Golden Hall & Versus the World (Their best two albums IMO)
    Nightwish - Century Child (Even the extended version, I love every song)
    Chastain - Mystery of Illusion (Not the best production, but I can easily listen to this whole album)
    Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper & Hatebreeder (If I'm in the mood for Children of Bodom, I can easily do either of these start to finish)
    Honorable Mention: I could listen to probably any of Draognforce's first 4 albums from start to finish, but the songs all sound so similar I could just listen to all 4 on shuffle and not really care. Dragonforce to me is something where you listen to the band itself rather than a particular album or song (At least their first 4 albums).
    EP (Less tracks so separate category)
    Amon Amarth - Sorrow Throughout the Nine Worlds
    Warlord - Deliver Us
    ALMOST made the list;
    Metallica - Ride the Lightning - Love it, except I never cared for Fight Fire with Fire
    Lacuna Coil - Comalies - I could do without Angel's Punishment and Aeon, LOVE the rest of the album
    Most of Sabbath's first 10 albums except 1-2 songs I don't care for that ruin it. Rat Salad, FX, Embryo etc.
    Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman - Little Dolls fucks this one up, could do without that song, otherwise it's my favorite Ozzy album
    Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears - Mr. Tinkertrain - Hate this song, other than this track I love this whole album.
    Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith - Could live without Jawbreaker and Eat Me Alive
    Judas Priest - Painkiller - A few tracks just aren't near the level of others. I love the Painkiller, Between the Hammer & The Anvil, Touch of Evil, One Shot at Glory, Tracks 2-5 are kinda just "okay" for me.
    Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast - Could do without Gangland or Invaders
    Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time - Could do without Heaven Can Wait, especially where they just keep repeating "Heaven can WAAAAAIT" over and over.
    Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - The Title Track where it just repeats "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" like 8 times in a row, just overkill, the only low point on the album for me.
    Running Wild - Under Jolly Roger - Not a big fan of Raw Ride
