Top 100 Greatest Albums (According to this guy)

“And I feel it's going down, ten feet below the ground;  I'm waiting for your healing hand, one touch could bring me round ; I feel we're going down, ten feet below the ground;  It's just the way I'm feeling…” I’ve always had a soft spot for early 2000s indie rock, the root being 2001s ‘The Album’ compilation, which I received at Christmas. A few songs stood out as new discoveries for me; My Vitriol’s ‘Always The Way’, (no spoilers) by (no spoilers) who are still to feature, and ‘Buck Rogers’ by the excellent Feeder. Having heard a few of their songs on the radio, it wasn’t until i purchased their Singles compilation some years later that I realised they weren’t just another Foo Fighters copy but had an ability to write incredible music. In fact they are one of the biggest UK rock bands, and if  you are a fan of the Foos and other grungey bands, Feeder will be right up your street. Heavier than most indie rock rock bands, Feeder write a mix of very catchy, high ener...

Couldn't find a way to you;  Seems that's all I ever do;  Turning up in black and blue;  Rewarded;  All the static we are left;  Wait until the time has come; Figure that's where time comes from; Leaving all my senses numb; Is heaven It is not often that the drummer of the biggest rock band in the world turns down opportunities to join other bands, for recording a 15 track demo from songs written in between gigs on tours, playing every instrument and vocal, creating arguably his best album to date, then forming a new band, who go on to become the greatest rock band for the next three decades… this is the phenomenon that is Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters. ‘Learn To Fly’, ‘Monkey Wrench’, ‘Everlong’, and ‘Breakout’ are among some of their biggest songs, but our focus is on the debut self-titled album. It often goes overlooked to the masses, with their huge songs appearing on the multiple albums that followed. Although the above are fantastic songs and bigger hits, no...

“Well how’s your view of things today;  Got up young to fade away;  The sinners sin but aren’t aware;  Our fables take us everywhere; I can’t keep up with you…I can’t keep up…” I first heard ‘Saturday Superhouse’ by Biffy Clyro back in 2007 and, I must admit, wrote them off as just another Foo Fighters copy. But the releases following were, in my opinion, the most creative and energetic rock songs being played on UK radio at the time. As a whole, the album is unpredictable as we are hit with a range of different sounding songs. There are no boundaries to their songwriting and riffs are surprising, yet pleasing to the ear. The Captain, Golden Rule, Bubbles, Born on A Horse and Mountains make up the first five songs and all are huge in sounds, beautiful in melody and unique to anything out there. With a good use of metaphor and hint of folklore to their lyrics, each song paints a different picture. Only Revolutions contains some of their most widely played and best loved so...
