Spoiler for stokkolm:
1. Daft Punk - Discovery (2001)

O alegere previzibila, un album care nu s-a remarcat initial dar a crescut in popularitate o data cu trecerea anilor. De exemplu Pitchfork Media ia oferit un 6,4 la lansare, ca apoi sa il puna pe locul 12 in albumele 2000-2004, si pe locul 3 in albumele anilor 2000. Cu siguranta un clasic. Ce pot spune eu e ca e probabil singurul album din care imi place fiecare piesa in parte fara nici o exceptie. E ceva magic in combinatia de instrumentale cu tendinte de funk si disco si performantele vocale prelucrate cu autotune, uneori chiar robotice (Harder, Better, Faster Stronger).

Dar numai ma complic degeaba cu oastfel de descriere, e o muzica usor de digerat, catchy, e cel mai simplu daca o ascultati chiar voi. Celelate albume Ratatat nu ma incanta in mod special, dar Classics e un fel de greatest hits, are piesele cele mai bune. Nostrand e probabil the greatest fuking think I ever heard.

3. Burial - Untrue (2007)

Prima tangenta cu Burial am avut-o cu piesa "Archangel", parundu-mi-se banala la acea vreme. Apoi a venit Stret Halo, parca a inceput sa miste ceva, iar cu EP-ul Kindred din 2012 am devenit deja fanul nr. 1 si am inceput sa caut prin releasurile mai vechi. Acum "Archangel" e una din pisele mele preferate, dar i-a luat cateva ascultari ca sa ajunga acolo. Niste melodii mai directe si poate mai beginner friendly sunt "Ghost hardware" si "Near Dark"
4. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Dig Lazarus Dig!!! (2008)

Nu mi-a fost deloc usor sa aleg un album a acestei trupe avand in vedere ca piesele mele preferate sunt imprastiate prin toata discografia. M-am oprit pana la urma asupra lui Dig Lazarus Dig!!! pentru ca e albumul care m-a facut fan Nick Cave si desi ii lipseste o piesa de calibrul lui "The Mercy Seat" sau "Stagger Lee", e cel mai constant, nici un cantec nu e un punct slab.
Nick Cave - Hold On To Yourself
5. Ladytron - Velocifero (2008)

"This is true music, not the crap Justin Bieber and Nicky Minaj sing nowdays!"
a youtube user.
I'm a sucker for 80s influenced synthpop. Ladytron e o trupa care canta un electro-pop care aminteste foarte mult de Depeche Mode, doar ca fiecare melodie e un Enjoy the Silence sau Personal Jesus.
Ladytron - I'm Not Scared
Ladytron - Tomorrow

Omul chibzuit stie ca locul umlautului e la draftul muzical, nu pe thread-ul "poze si nu prea"
Ray Charles, The Art of War.
Björk - Bachelorette

7. Dr. Dre - 2001 (1999)

Yo iubitori de piatra progresiva, lasati putin Pink Floyd-ul si veniti alaturi de Doctorul Medic si Cââine Dublu  sa aflati ce inseamna sa fumezi I.A.R.B.Ă. Da!
N-aveti idee cat de greu mi-a fost sa aleg intre "The Chronic" si "Doggystyle", cei doi colosi g-funk ai hip-hop-ului anilor '90. Asa ca am ales un al treilea album, 2001, care din pacate nu are caracteristice g-funk prea pronuntate, dar contine mai multe piese cu greutate. Dr. Dre nu o fi cel mai mare rapper ever, dar ce il face ideal pentru acest draft e accentul pus pe calitate mai degraba decat cantitate, in toata cariera lui lansand doar doua albume, la o diferenta de 7 ani.

8. Dizzee Rascal - Boy in da Corner (2003)

"Dizzee was 18 years old when the album was released. The dense production work was carried out mostly by the MC on his own"
"On Metacritic, the album received an aggregate score of 92/100 (indicating "universal acclaim"), and currently ranks twenty-seventh on that site's list of highest-rated albums"
"It was Number 3 in FACT magazine's Top 100 Albums of the Decade, behind Burial's Untrue and Is This It by The Strokes"
Boy in Da Corner e albumul reprezentativ pentru genul grime, un fel de hip-hop britanic cu "futuristic electronic elements and dark, guttural bass lines". Nu e o ascultare usoara pentru cei care nu sunt faimiliari cu genul. Beat-urile agresive te obliga sa le placi sau sa le urasti. Mie unul imi plac chiar mult, in special primele doua single-uri "Fix Up Look Sharp" si "I Luv You" care vin cu bas exagerat si zgomote de-a dreptul infioratoare, dar si beat-urile mai calme si minimaliste din "Do It" sau "Jezebel" care ma duc cu gandul la Japonia din era samurailor.
Dizzee Rascal - Fix up, Look sharp
Dizzee Rascal - 'I Luv U'
Dizzee Rascal - Jezebel
9. Justice - † (2007)

Era clar ca o data ce am inceput lista cu Daft Punk voi ajunge la un moment dat si la Justice, un alt duo din Franta ce face muzica electronica nu neaparat in stiulul celor de la Daft Punk, dar sunt probabil cel mai aproape. All tracks are good except "Stress".
Justice - Genesis
Justice - Phantom
10. Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours(2008 )

Albumul reprezentativ al trupei din australia care canta un electro-pop energic cu influente retro din muzica dance a anilor 80, 90. Una dintre melodii, "Feel the Love" s-ar putea sa o recunoasteti dintr-o reclama orange, dar bineinteles eu o stiu de dinainte sa fi devenit cool. Poate unii dintre voi nu sunt atrasi in mod deosebit de acest gen si o sa li se para ca am ajuns la fundul sacului, that's far from truth, de exemplu piesa Hearts on Fire as pune-o la varful varfului in materie de muzica electronica. Apoi mai sunt Feel the Love, Lights & Music care nu sunt de lasat la o parte nici ele. Partea rea e ca totusi nu toate piesele sunt la un nivel ridicat, mai sunt si fillere.
O sa trisez putin, dar daca ii place cuiva albumul, recomand si piesa Sands of Time, foarte foarte meseriasa, din pacate nu a prins lansarea pe acest album aparand cateva luni mai tarziu pe un EP separat.

11. David Deejay feat. Dony - Popcorn (2010)

What am I thinking!!! Altii iau Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, Led Zeppelin si eu vin cu asta!? Stiu, s-ar putea sa imi pierd o gramada de voturi dar merita sacrificiul pentru a promova un gen cred eu nu e chiar de ignorat. Gantiti-va ca mai toate trupele si artistii romani mai respectati de dupa revolutie, sau chiar si de dinainte sunt copii nesimtite a unor miscari din afara. Nu zic, e o calitate si in a aduce un sound reusit din afara si a-l adapta la publicul autohton. Dar muzica romaneasca dance din ultimii ani supranumita si popcorn music, si la care dupa cum banuiti David Deejay a avut un rol esential in dezvoltare cu unele melodii de pe acest album, acest gen a reusit sa faca chiar opusul: sa ii faca pe cei din afara tarii sa il copieze. Nici Enescu nu a reusit asta! (daca exista internet pe vrea aceea ar fi ajutat though)
Si acum sa zic ceva despre album in sine. Piesele sunt aranjate pragmatic in ordinea descrescatoare a calitatii, asta pentru ca unele dintre ele au fost lansate individual cu mult timp inainte. Incepe cu "Sexy Thing", poate chiar prima piesa din genul popcorn, daca nu cel putin cea mai influenta. Videocplipul e pe masura, ar fi putut iesi mai bine, dar sunt placute elementele suprarealiste si atmosfera aproape cyberpunk. Apoi e Nasty Dream cu probabil cea mai reusita performanta vocala a lui Dony si hook-ul demential de la 0:32. Dar previzivil pentru un album comercial romanesc de pe la jumatate incolo poate fi ignorat, e more of the same.
O alegere nostalgica ce imi aminteste de anii de studentie cand tineri de varsta mea petreceau in cluburi pe melodiile astea in timp ce eu stateam acasa si jucam Diablo 2 or smth. Good times.

13. Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison (1968 )

Acesta e un album live, dar pe de alta parte e cea mai cunoscuta creatie a lui Johnny Cash, o bucatica de istorie. Nu exista un public care sa se poate identifica mai bine cu personajele zbuciumate descrise in cantecele lui Johnny Cash decat multimea din inchisoare. O legenda nu doar a muzicii country ci a muzicii in general.

14. Hot Chip - In Our Heads (2012)

Ce pot spune eu e ca e probabil singurul album din care imi place fiecare piesa in parte fara nici o exceptie.

Spoiler for ola:
1. Arctic Monkeys - Humbug (2009)

Arctic Monkeys - Dance Little Liar
Arctic Monkeys - Secret Door
Arctic Monkeys - Crying Lightning
"Humbug has received major critical acclaim, with many praising the band's newfound maturity. Billboard stated that the band "justifies the hype by shifting its best qualities into different, equally dazzling shapes," while The Record Review noted that with Humbug, the Arctic Monkeys proved themselves to be a "band that surpasses most of its colleagues in terms of songwriting and performance ability." In his positive review of the album, Joe Tangari of Pitchfork Media noted that "Humbug isn't better than either of its predecessors, but it expands the group's range and makes me curious where it might go next. It also demonstrates a great deal of staying power for a band that could have imploded before it ever got this far." While overall response was positive, the album was criticised by some for not containing the same hooks that the band had become known for, with Spin calling the album "accomplished, but not particularly infectious."
Fools on parade cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
She swam out of tonight's phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There's absolutely nothing for us here
2. The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses (1989)

Dupa prima intalnire cu ma woman am simtit ca trebuie sa o iau pe jos prin noapte pana acasa desi aveam bani de taximetru. Am mers destul avand in vedere ca am lasat-o acasa si statea la capatul opus al Constantei. Ce am ascultat pe drum? The Stone Roses de la The Stone Roses! Melodiile astea imi vor ramane etern asociate cu acest inceput.
"The Stone Roses is the debut album by English rock band The Stone Roses, released on Silvertone Records in 1989. It cemented the band's reputation among critics, and is still rated by some as one of the most influential albums. In 2004 an Observer Music Monthly poll consisting of musicians and critics voted the album the greatest of all time, as did the writers of NME in 2006, declaring it to be the greatest British album of all time. It is widely considered as the seminal record of the Madchester movement that was active in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and as being highly responsible for the mid 1990s resurrection of British guitar music that came to be known as Britpop."
The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored
The Stone Roses - Waterfall
3. Richard Hawley - Coles Corner

"Coles Corner is the fourth studio album from musician Richard Hawley, released in September 2005 in the UK. The title track immortalizes the legendary Sheffield landmark Coles Corner, a popular meeting place of old and new lovers. The album was nominated for the 2006 Mercury Music Prize for best album."
Trebuia sa includ aici si albumul ce contine melodia preferata, numero uno personal. Richard Hawley - Bornd under a bad sign. Richard Hawley este un adevarat tatic al muzichiei.
Richard Hawley - Born Under A Bad Sign
Pentru ca merit, inca o zi importanta si incarcata de semnificatie si bucurie din viata mea frumoasa si plina de iubire se incheie cum altfel decat cu 2 beri reci, cateva tigarete, o pisica tolanita si un zambet larg pe mine. Si bineinteles, oximoronic, cu "Born under a bad sign".
Permiteti-mi sa cant
Whaaaat are you liiiike? Youuuu've had a right life
Taken a loooong ride, but oh what a coooost
And all of your liiiife, staaaaaring at white lines
Reeeeading the road signs, and oh what a loss
4. Dion - Born to Be with You (1975)

Born to Be with You is an album by Dion, released in 1975. 7 of the 9 tracks were produced by Phil Spector, who had expressed admiration of Dion's earlier work with his doo-wop outfit, Dion and the Belmonts. The recording sessions were lengthy and chaotic, and on completion in 1974, DiMucci effectively disowned the record, stating that the production made it sound like "funeral music". Spector himself shelved the release for 12 months and it was largely met with indifference by the music establishment at the time. In the 1990s however, the album began to receive widespread critical acclaim, with artists such as Primal Scream and Spiritualized citing it as a key influence.
Dion - Only you know
I wanna see something that used to be in your eyes again
I'm waitin' to see it, you know it's only a question of when
'Cause I know how much you're missin'
Whenever you know that it's missin
And only you know where you have been to
Only you know what you have been through
But there's better things you're gonna get into
And I wanna be there too
5. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River (1969)

Rolling Stone called it "a great album" with the reviewer further stating "they are now creating the most vivid American rock since Music from Big Pink". Allmusic gave the album 5 stars (out of 5) with Stephen Thomas Erlewine stating: "If anything, CCR's third album Green River represents the full flower of their classic sound initially essayed on its predecessor, Bayou Country. In 2003, the album was ranked number 95 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Lodi
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising
6. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972)
Trebuie sa pun in lista mea si David Bowie dar am o problema sub acest aspect. Imi plac foarte mult niste melodii de la acest cameleon dar sunt disparate pe diferite albume ale maestrului. Sunt fascinat de spatiu si de urmarile acestui concept (nu neaparat ce se intelege prin spatiul dinafara planetei noastre ci mai degraba spatiul dintre diferite obiecte si vietati de aici de pe planeta noastra). Ex: modul ales de un zugrav de a ocupa/ utiliza spatiul unui perete cu pensula, modul unui desenator de a ocupa / utiliza cu instrumentul spatiul de desenat, modul de a ocupa / utiliza spatiul de curatat al unei femei de seviciu,modul de a ocupa / utiliza un spatiu al cainilor de preerie pentru a realiza tunelele vizuinelor, locul ocupat de diferite farfurii, mancaruri si mirodenii pe un spatiu (masa) la o masa in familie in relatie cu pozitiile mesenilor etc.. Avand in vedere ca sunt un aligator si ca pot sa urmaresc foarte excitat ore in sir un zugrav, o femeie de serviciu sau un pictor voi alege The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

David Bowie - Moonage Daydream
7. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)
Gotta have The Beatles man! D'You Know What I Mean?
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the most important rock & roll album ever made, an unsurpassed adventure in concept, sound, songwriting, cover art and studio technology by the greatest rock & roll group of all time."

The Beatles - Sgt.Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Full Album)
"Frank Zappa, whose Freak Out! was cited as an influence on the album, accused the group of co-opting the flower power aesthetic for monetary gain, saying in a Rolling Stone article that he felt "they were only in it for the money". That criticism later became the title of the Mothers of Invention album (We're Only in It for the Money), which mocked Sgt. Pepper with a similar album cover.
In April 1967, Brian Wilson (who was suffering growing mental problems) was deeply affected by hearing a tape of the song "A Day in the Life", which McCartney played to him in Los Angeles. Soon after, Smile was abandoned, and Wilson would not return to complete it until 2003. Van Dyke Parks later said, "Brian had a nervous collapse. What broke his heart was Sgt. Pepper."
Within days of its release, Jimi Hendrix was performing the title track in concert, first for an audience that included Harrison and McCartney, who were greatly impressed by his unique version of their song and his ability to learn it so quickly"
8. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland (1968)

10. Joy Division - Substance (1988)

Am ales aceasta compilatie pentru ca inglobeaza melodiile mele preferate de la Joy Division, melodii ce nu se gasesc pe cele 2 albume de studio. Piesele sunt: Atmosphere, Transmission si Love Will Tear Us Apart.
Atmosphere
Peter Hook formerly of Joy Division has said he regards the song as the band's greatest.
Joy Division - Atmosphere
Transmission
In May 2007, NME magazine placed "Transmission" at number 20 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever, one place below "Love Will Tear Us Apart".
Joy Division - Transmission
Love Will Tear Us Apart
"Love Will Tear Us Apart" has remained popular and was listed by NME as the best single of all time in 2002. The song was listed by Rolling Stone magazine at number 179 in its top 500 songs of all time. In May 2007, NME placed it at number 19 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever, one place ahead of another Joy Division song, "Transmission". The song reached number 1 in the inaugural Triple J Hottest 100 music poll of 1989 and again in 1990. When being interviewed for New Order Story, Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys stated that "Love Will Tear Us Apart" was his favourite pop song of all time. Furthermore, in 2012, in celebration of the NME's 60th anniversary, a list of the 100 Greatest Songs of NME's Lifetime was compiled, and the list was topped by none other than "Love Will Tear Us Apart".
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
11. The Smiths - Singles (1995)

Mergand pe aceeasi logica ca la Joy Division trei dintre melodiile mele preferate de la The Smiths nu se afla pe vreun album de studio. Doar "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" este pe "The Queen Is Dead". Cele fara album sunt "How Soon Is Now?", "Panic" si "This Charming Man"
"How Soon Is Now?"
"Morrissey and co have once again delved into their Sixties treasure-trove, and produced a visceral power capable of blowing the dust off Eighties inertia. The majestic ease of Morrissey's melancholic vocals are tinted with vitriol, as they move through vistas of misery with plaintive spirals around the pulse of Johnny Marr's vibrato guitar. The string's muted strains conjure wistful signs that bridge the schism between crass sentimentality and callous detachment. Each repeated phrase intensifies the hypnotic waves, with results that outflank anything since 'This Charming Man'. Catharsis has rarely been tinged with so much regret, and shared with so much crystalline purity." - Melody Maker, 2 February 1985
"For the most part, Morrissey is the Hilda Ogden of pop, harassed and hard done-by. I guess what seems like meat to one man sounds like murder to another." - Gavin Martin, New Musical Express, 9 February 1985
In 2010, Rolling Stone magazine rated the song number 477 in its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and number 90 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs. In March 2005, Q magazine placed it at number 28 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. In 2006, "How Soon Is Now?" was voted runner up in VH1 s "Top Lyrics" poll for the lyrics, "So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die" and marginally missed out on top spot to U2 s "One". In May 2007, NME magazine placed "How Soon Is Now?" at number seven in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever. On the Blender magazine website, in their list of The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born, the song was ranked at number 72
The Smiths - How Soon is Now?
"Panic"
"Panic" was voted Single of the Year by the annual NME readers poll, and also ("somewhat incongruously", noted Smiths biographer Simon Goddard) ranked sixth in the Best Dance Record category. In 2007, NME placed "Panic" at number 21 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever.
The Smiths - Panic
"There Is a Light That Never Goes Out"
Music critics consider "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" to be one of The Smiths' finest efforts. Simon Goddard wrote, "In a straw poll among Smiths fans today, 'There Is a Light That Never Goes Out' would more than likely still come out victorious", which he credits to the "perfect balance" of Marr's compositional skills and Morrissey's lyricism. Allmusic's Tim DiGravina calls it a "a standout among standouts from the Smiths' masterpiece third album, The Queen Is Dead."
The Smiths - There is a light that never goes out
"This Charming Man"
On release, the song received near unanimous critical praise. Paul Morley of the NME wrote, "'This Charming Man' is an accessible bliss, and seriously moving. This group fully understand that the casual is not enough... This is one of the greatest singles of the year, a poor compliment. Unique and indispensable, like 'Blue Monday' and 'Karma Chameleon' - that's better!" A contemporary review in The Face asked, "Where has all the wildness and daring got to? Some of it has found its way onto The Smiths' record, 'This Charming Man'. It jangles and crashes and Morrissey jumps in the middle with his mutant choir-boy voice, sounding jolly and angst-ridden at the same time. It should be given out on street corners to unsuspecting passers-by of all ages." While the band was little-known in the United States at the time, Robert Palmer of The New York Times described the song as "sparkling, soaring, superlative pop-rock, and proof that the guitar-band format pioneered by The Beatles is still viable for groups with something to say".The following year Palmer chose the song as the second best single of 1984.
Allmusic's Ned Raggett noted that "Early Elvis would have approved of the music, Wilde of the words", and described the track as "an audacious end result by any standard". Tim DiGravina, of the same organization, wrote that "Debating the merits of the track here would be a bit pointless, as it's a classic song from one of the last great classic bands. It might as well be called 'This Charming Song'." In 2007, Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher described the first time he heard the track: "The second I heard 'This Charming Man' everything made sense. The sound of that guitar intro was incredible. The lyrics are fuckin' amazing, too. People say Morrissey's a miserable cunt, but I knew straight away what he was on about."

"Though a commercial failure upon release, the record has since become one of the most influential and critically acclaimed rock albums in history, appearing at number thirteen on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time as well as being added to the 2006 National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress."

"Humbug has received major critical acclaim, with many praising the band's newfound maturity. Billboard stated that the band "justifies the hype by shifting its best qualities into different, equally dazzling shapes," while The Record Review noted that with Humbug, the Arctic Monkeys proved themselves to be a "band that surpasses most of its colleagues in terms of songwriting and performance ability." In his positive review of the album, Joe Tangari of Pitchfork Media noted that "Humbug isn't better than either of its predecessors, but it expands the group's range and makes me curious where it might go next. It also demonstrates a great deal of staying power for a band that could have imploded before it ever got this far." While overall response was positive, the album was criticised by some for not containing the same hooks that the band had become known for, with Spin calling the album "accomplished, but not particularly infectious."
Fools on parade cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
She swam out of tonight's phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There's absolutely nothing for us here
2. The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses (1989)

Dupa prima intalnire cu ma woman am simtit ca trebuie sa o iau pe jos prin noapte pana acasa desi aveam bani de taximetru. Am mers destul avand in vedere ca am lasat-o acasa si statea la capatul opus al Constantei. Ce am ascultat pe drum? The Stone Roses de la The Stone Roses! Melodiile astea imi vor ramane etern asociate cu acest inceput.
"The Stone Roses is the debut album by English rock band The Stone Roses, released on Silvertone Records in 1989. It cemented the band's reputation among critics, and is still rated by some as one of the most influential albums. In 2004 an Observer Music Monthly poll consisting of musicians and critics voted the album the greatest of all time, as did the writers of NME in 2006, declaring it to be the greatest British album of all time. It is widely considered as the seminal record of the Madchester movement that was active in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and as being highly responsible for the mid 1990s resurrection of British guitar music that came to be known as Britpop."
The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored
The Stone Roses - Waterfall
3. Richard Hawley - Coles Corner

"Coles Corner is the fourth studio album from musician Richard Hawley, released in September 2005 in the UK. The title track immortalizes the legendary Sheffield landmark Coles Corner, a popular meeting place of old and new lovers. The album was nominated for the 2006 Mercury Music Prize for best album."
Trebuia sa includ aici si albumul ce contine melodia preferata, numero uno personal. Richard Hawley - Bornd under a bad sign. Richard Hawley este un adevarat tatic al muzichiei.
Richard Hawley - Born Under A Bad Sign
Pentru ca merit, inca o zi importanta si incarcata de semnificatie si bucurie din viata mea frumoasa si plina de iubire se incheie cum altfel decat cu 2 beri reci, cateva tigarete, o pisica tolanita si un zambet larg pe mine. Si bineinteles, oximoronic, cu "Born under a bad sign".
Permiteti-mi sa cant
Whaaaat are you liiiike? Youuuu've had a right life
Taken a loooong ride, but oh what a coooost
And all of your liiiife, staaaaaring at white lines
Reeeeading the road signs, and oh what a loss
4. Dion - Born to Be with You (1975)

Born to Be with You is an album by Dion, released in 1975. 7 of the 9 tracks were produced by Phil Spector, who had expressed admiration of Dion's earlier work with his doo-wop outfit, Dion and the Belmonts. The recording sessions were lengthy and chaotic, and on completion in 1974, DiMucci effectively disowned the record, stating that the production made it sound like "funeral music". Spector himself shelved the release for 12 months and it was largely met with indifference by the music establishment at the time. In the 1990s however, the album began to receive widespread critical acclaim, with artists such as Primal Scream and Spiritualized citing it as a key influence.
Dion - Only you know
I wanna see something that used to be in your eyes again
I'm waitin' to see it, you know it's only a question of when
'Cause I know how much you're missin'
Whenever you know that it's missin
And only you know where you have been to
Only you know what you have been through
But there's better things you're gonna get into
And I wanna be there too
5. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River (1969)

Rolling Stone called it "a great album" with the reviewer further stating "they are now creating the most vivid American rock since Music from Big Pink". Allmusic gave the album 5 stars (out of 5) with Stephen Thomas Erlewine stating: "If anything, CCR's third album Green River represents the full flower of their classic sound initially essayed on its predecessor, Bayou Country. In 2003, the album was ranked number 95 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time

6. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972)
Trebuie sa pun in lista mea si David Bowie dar am o problema sub acest aspect. Imi plac foarte mult niste melodii de la acest cameleon dar sunt disparate pe diferite albume ale maestrului. Sunt fascinat de spatiu si de urmarile acestui concept (nu neaparat ce se intelege prin spatiul dinafara planetei noastre ci mai degraba spatiul dintre diferite obiecte si vietati de aici de pe planeta noastra). Ex: modul ales de un zugrav de a ocupa/ utiliza spatiul unui perete cu pensula, modul unui desenator de a ocupa / utiliza cu instrumentul spatiul de desenat, modul de a ocupa / utiliza spatiul de curatat al unei femei de seviciu,modul de a ocupa / utiliza un spatiu al cainilor de preerie pentru a realiza tunelele vizuinelor, locul ocupat de diferite farfurii, mancaruri si mirodenii pe un spatiu (masa) la o masa in familie in relatie cu pozitiile mesenilor etc.. Avand in vedere ca sunt un aligator si ca pot sa urmaresc foarte excitat ore in sir un zugrav, o femeie de serviciu sau un pictor voi alege The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

David Bowie - Moonage Daydream
7. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)
Gotta have The Beatles man! D'You Know What I Mean?
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the most important rock & roll album ever made, an unsurpassed adventure in concept, sound, songwriting, cover art and studio technology by the greatest rock & roll group of all time."

The Beatles - Sgt.Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Full Album)
"Frank Zappa, whose Freak Out! was cited as an influence on the album, accused the group of co-opting the flower power aesthetic for monetary gain, saying in a Rolling Stone article that he felt "they were only in it for the money". That criticism later became the title of the Mothers of Invention album (We're Only in It for the Money), which mocked Sgt. Pepper with a similar album cover.
In April 1967, Brian Wilson (who was suffering growing mental problems) was deeply affected by hearing a tape of the song "A Day in the Life", which McCartney played to him in Los Angeles.

Spoiler for mafio:
1. Tom Waits - Bad as Me (2011)

Tom Waits - Bad As Me
Probabil nu multi dintre voi au auzit de acest Tom Waits dar credeti-ma, odata ce-l asculti (si-ti place), nu te mai saturi de el. Are o sumedenie de albume de-a lungul carora a trecut si a combinat o gramada de stiluri, dar eu il recomand in special pe ultimul. De ce? Pentru ca aici si-a definitivat intr-un final stilul (desi sunt sigur ca n-o sa ramana la el si ca o sa treaca la ceva chiar mai nebunesc). Ascultand Bad as Me, am simtit efortul pe care l-a depus Tom de-a lungul anilor , pasiunea lui nesfarsita pentru muzica si placerea lui de a experimenta cu diferite stiluri, pe care la varsta de 60 de ani le-a combinat si le-a introdus intr-un singur album.
Acum, cat despre album in sine, este o nebunie totala; imaginati-va un Cirque du Soleil regizat de un David Lynch pe LSD si cocaina. Vocea lui Tom Waits este mai diavoleasca ca niciodata si oscileaza intre un calm calculat si o nebunie de criminal in serie. Si ca tot veni vorba de Cirque, cam asa se simte intregul album : o experienta de-a dreptul carnavaleasca, unde totul e ciudat, nimic nu e ceea ce pare si absolut tot ce vezi ascunde ceva sinistru.
Pentru a intelege esenta albumului, puteti incepe prin a asculta piesa postat mai sus. Piesele de pe album pot fi ascultate foarte bine si independent pentru ca nu se leaga intre ele, ci doar de tema generala a albumului. Recomand Talking at the Same Time, Chicago si Raised Right Men.
2. The Strokes - Is This It (2001)

The Strokes - New York City Cops
Intr-o vreme in care charturile erau poluate de pop stars si trupe rock mediocre, Strokes au rupt baraka cu albumul lor de debut, Is This It, revitalizand astfel indie-ul in particular si muzica in general. Au avut o influenta atat de mare incat succesul albumului lor a incurajat alte trupe tinere cu potential si dorinta de afirmare precum Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand si The Libertines sa-si incerce norocul.
Albumul este conceput sub forma unei cronici ce trateaza viata din New York in toate aspectele ei. Avem monologuri plictisite, comentarii sociale, povesti de liceu, atacuri la adresa politiei, viata de noapte, nostalgia unui tanar care se aproprie de 30 de ani si se gandeste la toate nebuniile pe care le-a facut in liceu si facultate, mahmureli, betii si altele. As putea spune ca albumul Whatever People Say... este partial inspirat dupa acesta, pentru ca, in esenta, ambele albume trateaza aceleasi subiecte, numai ca in contexte sociale si geografice diferite.
Remarcabil la acest album este si soundul simplu, nefinisat, low-fi as fuck care se potriveste de minune cu tema generala a albumului. Vocea distorsionata a lui Casablancas merge mana in mana cu monologurile lui plictisite, accentuate de batai repetitive de tobe si ritmuri hipnotice de chitara. Toate acestea te introduc perfect in atmosfera metropolei si te pun in postura unui om obisnuit care de luni pana vineri se trezeste, se duce la munca, se intoarce acasa si se culca. Fucking A.
Highlights : New York City Cops, Last Nite, Barely Legal, Someday. Daca va plac astea, sigur o sa va placa si restul.
3. The Beatles - The White Album (1968)

Un album fenomenal care in opinia mea marcheaza apogeul trupei Beatles. Este experimental de la un capat la altul, nicio melodie nu suna ca cealalta si inca reuseste sa ma surprinda, chiar si la a suta mia ascultare. Ar fi total de prisos sa vorbesc despre importanta lui istorica si influenta pe care inca o are asupra muzicii asa ca voi incheia spunand ca daca acest album n-ar fi fost lansat, voi nu ati mai fi avut ce posta la music draft.
The Beatles - Happiness Is A Warm Gun
4. Radiohead - OK Computer (1997)

Voi ati scos artileria grea deja de la primele alegeri, dar eu acum incep sa-mi flexez muschii.
OK Computer este un album de care toata lumea a auzit si l-a ascultat, fie ca le place Radiohead sau nu. Niciodata nu mi-am gasit cuvintele cand a trebuit sa-l descriu, dar hai sa zicem ca este un fel de critica la adresa societatii si consumerismului. Desigur, totul este codificat in versuri abstracte, specifice celor de la Radiohead, pe care trebuie sa te chinui ceva sa le decodifici.
Asadar, pe langa arhicunoscuta Paranoid Android, o sa postez ceva nu foarte cunoscut de pe album, de un adevar sfasietor, care ma deprima la fiecare ascultare. Enjoy.
Radiohead - Fitter Happier
Radiohead - Paranoid Android
5. PJ Harvey - Let England Shake (2011)

PJ Harvey este genul acela de artist care se schimbă în totalitate de la album la album. Am văzut-o în toate ipostazele, de la trash whore, intelectuală finuţă până la hipioată. Este atât de dedicată încât în perioada înregistrării unuia dintre albumele ei a mâncat numai cartofi. De ce, nu ştiu, probabil avea legătura cu tema albumului...
În fine, Let England Shake este o satiră inteligentă asupra societăţii, stupidităţii umane şi războaielor. Evident, nu este un atac direct,, ci unul foarte subtil, încifrat în versuri halucinant de abstracte şi nişte videoclipuri care la prima vizionare n-au absolut nicio lgătura cu melodia, cu atât mai puţin cu temele menţionate mai sus.
PJ Harvey- The Words That Maketh Murder
6. The Black Keys - Brothers (2010)

Brothers, în esenţă, este o bluezăraie modernistă cu ceva elemente de indie şi alternativ. Deşi animalul din mine preferă albumele lor precedente, care aveau un sound lo-fi, brut şi barbar, realizat folosind aparatură de pe vremea când tata asculta Dr. Alban în discotecă, când vine vorba de recomandări menţionez Brothers pentru că este mult mai uşor de ascultat. Acesta este albumul lor de maturitate: sound-ul este mult mai fluid, natural, are un scop şi o direcţie clară şi, nu în ultimul rând, este mult mai inteligent şi responsabil produs decât strămoşii lui.
Ah, am zis ceva de videoclipurile lor absolut geniale? Nu, n-am zis. Recomand să vă uitaţi de 3 ori la videoclip: Prima dată pentru gagici, a doua oară pentru dinozaur şi a treia oară pentru textul de jos.
The Black Keys - Next Girl
7. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (2010)

L-ai putea numi o cronica a vietii din suburbie la o prima vedere, dar va asigur ca e mai mult decat atat. Unii l-ar numi un comentariu social, altii o manifestare hipstereasca cu tente de opera de o mare profunzime sau o suma de frustrari cumulate de-a lungul anilor care au explodat sub forma unui album concept. Eu insa prefer sa-l iau ca pe un comentariu social hipsteresc profund cauzat de o serie de frustrari cumulate de-a lungul anilor. Oricum o dai, albumul asta imi excita creierul. Ma face sa-mi scot pipa cu baloane de spuma din sertar si sa reflectez asupra problemelor societatii.
Arcade Fire - Rococo
8. Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures (2009)

Cum? Ce-i asta? Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones si Josh Homme in aceeasi trupa? Cred ca glumesti, zice userul Level, scarpinandu-se in cap si luand o gura de paie.
Nu, nu glumesc, e chiar pe bune si MERGE TATA, MERGE. N-am intalnit la nici un album un exces mai obscen de masculinitate si testosteron. Ma face sa-mi sparg un scaun in cap si sa vanez vrajitoare cu un briceag luat de la obor. E cel mai distractiv album pe care l-am ascultat in ultimii ani si mereu revin la el cand am chef de-o sesiune de zbenguiala si smardoiala.
Them Crooked Vultures - No One Loves Me & Neither Do I
9. The Libertines - Up The Bracket (2002)

Albumul ăsta a rupt Anglia în două când a apărut şi-mi rupe mie capul de fiecare când îl ascult. Libertines au resuscitat muzica indie şi au adus un plus de energie şi viaţă muzicii în general, care intrase într-un purgatoriu al plictisului, lehamitei şi al pasivităţii. S-au remarcat de-a lungul scurtei lor cariere prin concertele de ''gherilă'' - alegeau un club la întâmplare, se urcau pe scenă (asta dacă era o scenă în primul rând, dacă nu, nu era bai), puneau de-o reprezentaţie sălbatică care se solda cu mici revoluţii, o luau la fugă când venea poliţia şi o ţineau aşa toată noaptea. E de la sine înţeles faptul că membrii trupei nu duceau nişte vieţi tocmai, ahem, sănătoase şi stabile, fapt pe care-l dezbate şi albumul lor de debut, Up The Bracket. E practic o cronică a vieţilor lor presărate de droguri, violenţă, instabilitate emoţională şi o dorinţă arzătoare de a nu cădea pradă rutinei.
The Libertines - Up The Bracket
10. Wu Tang Clan - Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) (1993)

N-am putut rezista în a nu include un album hip-hop în lista mea (deşi aş fi ales mai multe, dar din alegerile de până acum am realizat că majoritatea participanţilor sunt rocori satanişti şi ar fi fost prea riscant). Enter The Wu Tang este un clasic în toate sensurile, atât în hip-hop cât şi în muzică. Este unul din multele exemple de trupe inteligente de rep pe care-l dau celor care cataloghează acest gen drept unul inferior după jegurile pe care le văd la teve. În fine, temele albumului sunt evidente, cred : viaţa de cartier, drogurile, poliţia, şamd. DAAAAAR, îndrăznesc să zic că sunt abordate cu o inteligenţă rivală serialului The Wire. Da, am zis-o. Albumul ăsta este The Wire al muzicii hip-hop şi cine mă contrazice îl poate suna pe Method Man să-şi expună personal explicaţiile.

11. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz! (2009)

Hai s-o dăm pe hipstereală maximă, aşa, de sfârşit de draft. Sunt sigur că trupa asta n-o să fie pe gustul a 90 la sută din draft, dar cum eu ascult muzică ultra dansantă fără să-mi placă să dansez nu se putea ca albumul ăsta să lipsească de pe lista. It's Blitz e un monstru catchy, obscen şi gălăgios, un tribut adus muzicii din anii 80 care deborda de hedonism şi voie bună.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll
Şi-un bonus, deşi melodia face parte de pe alt album. 10/10 would bang.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Art Star
12. Black Spiders - Sons of the North (2011)

Roc end rol, tată, în cea mai pură stare a lui, cum nu credeam că o să aud în era noastră decât de la Motorhead. Altceva mai bun nu am de zis, aşa că luaţi de ascultaţi. JUUUUUST LIKE A WOMAN SHOOOOULD
Black Spiders - Just Like A Woman
13. Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand (2004)

Pentru ultimul mea alegere am decis să postez nu un clasic, ci un clasic MODERN. S-au scris multe şi mărunte despre trupa asta, cum duce muzica la un alt nivel, cum combină stiluri din perioade diferite într-un melanj delicios care debordează fericire şi voie bună, despre solistul Alex Kapranos care a inspirat o sumedenie de viitori artişti talentaţi să urmeze o carieră muzicală, etc. În fine, l-am păstrat pentru ultima alegere pentru că Franz Ferdinand, ca şi Strokes şi Beatles, mi-au format personalitatea şi gusturile muzicale şi este albumul la care mă întorc când mă apucă nostalgia faţă de anii mei de liceu petrecuţi în tot felul de baruri indi, bând şi schimbând păreri filosofice băşinoase asupra vieţii cu prieteni care erau la fel de băşinoşi ca şi mine. Enjoy!

Am scris deja despre el pe blog asa ca nu mai are rost sa ma repet.

Nu că aş vrea să-mi fac reclamă, dar am scris deja despre el şi mi-e silă :
http://tzeeeac.blogspot.ro/2012/08/the- ... -bull.html

Tom Waits - Bad As Me
Probabil nu multi dintre voi au auzit de acest Tom Waits dar credeti-ma, odata ce-l asculti (si-ti place), nu te mai saturi de el. Are o sumedenie de albume de-a lungul carora a trecut si a combinat o gramada de stiluri, dar eu il recomand in special pe ultimul. De ce? Pentru ca aici si-a definitivat intr-un final stilul (desi sunt sigur ca n-o sa ramana la el si ca o sa treaca la ceva chiar mai nebunesc). Ascultand Bad as Me, am simtit efortul pe care l-a depus Tom de-a lungul anilor , pasiunea lui nesfarsita pentru muzica si placerea lui de a experimenta cu diferite stiluri, pe care la varsta de 60 de ani le-a combinat si le-a introdus intr-un singur album.
Acum, cat despre album in sine, este o nebunie totala; imaginati-va un Cirque du Soleil regizat de un David Lynch pe LSD si cocaina. Vocea lui Tom Waits este mai diavoleasca ca niciodata si oscileaza intre un calm calculat si o nebunie de criminal in serie. Si ca tot veni vorba de Cirque, cam asa se simte intregul album : o experienta de-a dreptul carnavaleasca, unde totul e ciudat, nimic nu e ceea ce pare si absolut tot ce vezi ascunde ceva sinistru.
Pentru a intelege esenta albumului, puteti incepe prin a asculta piesa postat mai sus. Piesele de pe album pot fi ascultate foarte bine si independent pentru ca nu se leaga intre ele, ci doar de tema generala a albumului. Recomand Talking at the Same Time, Chicago si Raised Right Men.
2. The Strokes - Is This It (2001)

The Strokes - New York City Cops
Intr-o vreme in care charturile erau poluate de pop stars si trupe rock mediocre, Strokes au rupt baraka cu albumul lor de debut, Is This It, revitalizand astfel indie-ul in particular si muzica in general. Au avut o influenta atat de mare incat succesul albumului lor a incurajat alte trupe tinere cu potential si dorinta de afirmare precum Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand si The Libertines sa-si incerce norocul.
Albumul este conceput sub forma unei cronici ce trateaza viata din New York in toate aspectele ei. Avem monologuri plictisite, comentarii sociale, povesti de liceu, atacuri la adresa politiei, viata de noapte, nostalgia unui tanar care se aproprie de 30 de ani si se gandeste la toate nebuniile pe care le-a facut in liceu si facultate, mahmureli, betii si altele. As putea spune ca albumul Whatever People Say... este partial inspirat dupa acesta, pentru ca, in esenta, ambele albume trateaza aceleasi subiecte, numai ca in contexte sociale si geografice diferite.
Remarcabil la acest album este si soundul simplu, nefinisat, low-fi as fuck care se potriveste de minune cu tema generala a albumului. Vocea distorsionata a lui Casablancas merge mana in mana cu monologurile lui plictisite, accentuate de batai repetitive de tobe si ritmuri hipnotice de chitara. Toate acestea te introduc perfect in atmosfera metropolei si te pun in postura unui om obisnuit care de luni pana vineri se trezeste, se duce la munca, se intoarce acasa si se culca. Fucking A.
Highlights : New York City Cops, Last Nite, Barely Legal, Someday. Daca va plac astea, sigur o sa va placa si restul.
3. The Beatles - The White Album (1968)

Un album fenomenal care in opinia mea marcheaza apogeul trupei Beatles. Este experimental de la un capat la altul, nicio melodie nu suna ca cealalta si inca reuseste sa ma surprinda, chiar si la a suta mia ascultare. Ar fi total de prisos sa vorbesc despre importanta lui istorica si influenta pe care inca o are asupra muzicii asa ca voi incheia spunand ca daca acest album n-ar fi fost lansat, voi nu ati mai fi avut ce posta la music draft.
The Beatles - Happiness Is A Warm Gun
4. Radiohead - OK Computer (1997)

Voi ati scos artileria grea deja de la primele alegeri, dar eu acum incep sa-mi flexez muschii.

Asadar, pe langa arhicunoscuta Paranoid Android, o sa postez ceva nu foarte cunoscut de pe album, de un adevar sfasietor, care ma deprima la fiecare ascultare. Enjoy.
Radiohead - Fitter Happier
Radiohead - Paranoid Android
5. PJ Harvey - Let England Shake (2011)

PJ Harvey este genul acela de artist care se schimbă în totalitate de la album la album. Am văzut-o în toate ipostazele, de la trash whore, intelectuală finuţă până la hipioată. Este atât de dedicată încât în perioada înregistrării unuia dintre albumele ei a mâncat numai cartofi. De ce, nu ştiu, probabil avea legătura cu tema albumului...
În fine, Let England Shake este o satiră inteligentă asupra societăţii, stupidităţii umane şi războaielor. Evident, nu este un atac direct,, ci unul foarte subtil, încifrat în versuri halucinant de abstracte şi nişte videoclipuri care la prima vizionare n-au absolut nicio lgătura cu melodia, cu atât mai puţin cu temele menţionate mai sus.
PJ Harvey- The Words That Maketh Murder
6. The Black Keys - Brothers (2010)

Brothers, în esenţă, este o bluezăraie modernistă cu ceva elemente de indie şi alternativ. Deşi animalul din mine preferă albumele lor precedente, care aveau un sound lo-fi, brut şi barbar, realizat folosind aparatură de pe vremea când tata asculta Dr. Alban în discotecă, când vine vorba de recomandări menţionez Brothers pentru că este mult mai uşor de ascultat.
