Yes, I'll probably fit in two updates a day all I can.
46. Amon Duul II - Phallus DeiSo, Krautrock is amazing. This and Yeti are pretty close in quality, but I find this one just edges it out. I used to hate this album, but now I love it. Sure it's a little weird and wacky (especially Dem Guten, Schonen, Wahren) and if you don't like long jams, you will hate this album, and you will want to kill the title track with fire, as it's pretty much a 20 minute jam. This album is pretty much what Krautrock is all about, only it has this sort of darkness that really adds an extra sort of charm to it.
Favourite tracks: "Dem Guten, Schonen, Wahren", "Kanaan"
45. Opeth - Blackwater ParkThis is the album that pulled me out of my little Opeth-hating phase, so this was big for me. I'm sure you all know why this album kicks ass (assuming you like it of course. The songs are structured perfectly, the heavy and soft parts always coming in exactly when called for, and the riffs are amazing. The title track has become one of my favourite metal songs of all time, as every riff in it is
-worthy. If you haven't gotten into Opeth yet, this is definitely the best album to start with. Of course, I only own two of their albums so I could be wrong, but it turned me into a non-hater.
Favourite tracks: Blackwater Park, Bleak, The Leper Affinity, The Drapery Falls
44. Robert Wyatt - Rock BottomSo I got this album for 5 whole dollars. And I thought I paid way too much. When I first heard it it was one of the most boring, sleep-inducing albums I had heard in my life. How could I possibly like it? I then proceeded to read reviews though, which I guess helped to open my mind a little, and I found myself enjoying it slightly. Sea Song, Alife, and Alifib were enjoyable. But I still wasn't so keen on the other tracks. But I guess repeated listens soon fixed that, because now I think it's a beautiful piece of work. Robert Wyatt had fallen out of a fourth story window and lost the use of his legs, so he could never drum again. In the hospital, he wrote this album. It's not really a depressing album although it's definitely pretty relaxed. You'll also have to get used to Robert's voice if you've never heard it, some love it and some hate it. It's really an acquired taste, but it's worth it.
Favourite tracks: Sea Song, Little Red Robin Hood Hit the Road, Alifib, Alife
