The Beatles - Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Bruhhhhhhhh

White Album? Abbey Road? I mean, even if you aren't a big fan of Yellow Submarine or Magical Mystery Tour, how can you say freaking Abbey Road is a comedown from Sgt Pepper's?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Actually, you might be right. I’ll take the Beatles out. They were good all along.

Metallica - Master of Puppets

Thank you for correcting the original poster on this one.

Once they went from metal to hard rock, it was over for me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

It’s bizarre to hear anyone mention anything other than Master of Puppets. As an old school death metal guitar player turned jazz geezer, Master of Puppets is, by a wide margin, unanimously considered the best metal album of all time by most metal musicians who know their shit.

Disagree a lot about Radiohead. They are probably one of the best bands with the best discographys ever. Almost every album are very, very good

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Kid A was genius, I'm curious on your thoughts of In Rainbows?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Meh. Didn’t suck but nothing will have the cohesiveness of that album.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hard disagree on Rush's 2112 being peek, if anything that album was the start of one of the greatest streaks in music history. They did like 4-5 excellent albums after that. Personally if I were to rank Rush albums, I'd put Farewell to Kings above 2112, maybe hemispheres too if only for La Villa Strangiatto. Not that I don't love 2112, but relative to the other albums in that streak I think it's a little tiny bit overrated

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Agreed. Peak Rush is Hemispheres (Circumstances is possibly the best rock song ever written) for me, but really I love almost everything from Fly by Night to Grace Under Pressure. That's 8 albums I can easily listen to front-to-back.

Whelp. As I typed I realized I forgot about Caress of Steel. I suppose that says something...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do you like guitars? Yngwie, Vai, Johnson.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Yeah. But I’m just naming ones I can think of where the album was never eclipsed. It just so happens that that is the case for those guitar players…and it’s not like we’re going to hear Yngwie or Johnson somehow suddenly reinvent themselves this late in their careers.

For example, I’m a HUGE fan of Khruangbin and Julian Lage but….what will Julian Lage or Khruangbin give us in the future? We may never know if they have peaked until that time has passed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Man, if you liked deloused I get why you'd be disappointed by what comes after, but Francis the Mute is something else. It's structured way different, it's a damn opera, but 20 years on that is my all time favorite album.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Peaked at Pablo Honey. Radiohead after that was meh. Take it or leave it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Opinions. This person has em.
