Top 30 Albums 25 to 30/30
Sons and Daughter – The Repulsion Box (2005)
Oh now this album is just the best party music dance your ass off and party till you DIE. Meredith Music Festival last year was one of the best because of this band a Glasgow 4 piece that I knew nothing about and thought I’d check them out and I was blown away. I found it I thought, yes the modern day Fleetwood Mac. The album was bought ASAP when I got home and it still gets a spin when I am doing the dishes or just sitting doing nothing its soooo awesome both the chick and the guy singers are fabulous.
BT- Taste That Last Girl
BT2 - Monsters
Supergrass – Life on Other Plants (2002)
Supergrass are the modern day The Who in my books and every single album they have made is just pure genies (yes even the new one Road To Rouen) but this is the album I love the most they had balls in this very pop sounding record they where willing to experiment a bit and use weird little sounds to make you enjoy the tunes a little bit more and the songs all had a story to tell within the lyrics. Still in my top 10 favourite bands of all time.
BT- Seen the Light
Travis – 12 Memories (2004)
Well everyone loved Why Does It Always Rain On Me but that single is by far not their best work. 12 Memories is such a great album and I have so many feelings come to me when I listen to it because this was the CD that got me through 2 major things in my life, first being in Canada and what happened to me there (bashed and kicked out of the house I lived in) and also the song Happy To Hang Around pretty much spoke the words to my then best mate Mike how I was feeling about him “ I’ll never get into your heart but I’m happy to hang around” he knew what it meant and we dealt with it but when I hear that song it just makes me think of him. The Canada experience was mirrored in the song Love Will Come Through “So take me don’t leave me, take me, don’t leave me baby love will come through it’s just waiting for you” and Re-Offender “I’m fooling myself, you say your sorry and you do it again” it’s one of those emotional albums that I listen to when in a sour mood to pick me up again it’s a pity that it wasn’t commercial successful it’s a powerful album as a whole.
BT – Love Will Come Through
BT2 – Paperclips (for its use of a moaning dog in the song and how it just works)
Electric Soft Parade – An American adventure (2003)
This was never official released here in Australia and thank god HMV had imports because I loved their first album (Holes in the Walls) I can see where this band was headed with its Radiohead style direction. Even though it’s 8 tracks long that’s all you needed to listen to the amazing sounds and lyrics. These 2 brothers have something going on with their sounds. I hear they have a new EP out in the UK will have to wait till I get back to import the bloody thing.
BT- Headachville
And the most embarrassing top 30 album I own is……. (Insert drum role here)
Spice Girls – Spice
I don’t care what anyone says to me in the fact that I love this album this is Pop music at it’s best no one has come close to their success or style (even though pussycat dolls are trying LOL). What a great concept take 5 girls and make them each have their own persona and through in some wicked beats and bang you got the best chick pop group ever. I hate the fact that they split and keep saying they will never do a reunion (you bitches!) but if they ever do a tour I WILL BE THEIR.
I don’t like pop top 40 and hate boy bands and girl bands but you can’t deny the fact that they where the Queens of the charts in the late 90’s shit I use to dance around the house to this crap LOUD OMG shot me!
BT – Who Do You Think You Are
BT2 – Spice up Your Life (I know it was on their second album but I had to mention it)
Thats it folks that was not as easy as i had hoped but it's all there now.
Liked to mention these albums that came close as well.
Artic Monkeys - What People Say i am
Sleater Kinney - One Beat
Moorcheeba - Charango
Gene Pitney - Best Off
The Coral - The Coral Self Titled
and
Ben Kweller - Sha Sha
