My favourite album from Peter, this one is a true great. One of the best singers I've ever heard. This album speaks to me deeply, just like the name says.
Filled with brilliant songs from beggining to end!

The Line Between the Devil's Teeth (And That Which Cannot Be Repeat)
Very different album from the two previous. It has many more melodic songs and in some ways it goes back to the bands roots that way. It also comes with very common sounds from the band as you can hear in the first single.
This album is a brilliant piece of work, in order to understand it you must listen to it many times; that way you will feel it. It is the third studio album from the band. Hardcore stuff.
A much lighter album comparing to the previous debut album from the band.
It is the first album I have heard from this band, it is filled with great tunes, very wise and very wild.
The Doors final line up was formed in mid 1965 after Ray Manzarek's two brothers left and Robby Krieger joined. Although composition credit went to the band as a whole, the album's primary writers were Morrison and Krieger. The songs "Break on Through (To the Other Side)" and "The End" were both released censored on the album. During "Break on Through" the part where Jim Morrison sings "She gets, she gets" was originally recorded as "She gets high."
Asked about the title, frontman Dexter Holland claimed that Ixnay on the Hombre means either "fuck authority" or "fuck The Man". My favourite from this band!
Although Smash has a dark, punk rock sound, the album is heavily influenced by the emerging pop punk scene. Probably the most renowned album but not my favourite, I will post that next. I remember these songs from when I was just a little boy.
Released during the alternative rock and grunge-era, the album brought the band small success in Southern California as The Offspring started to gather a following.
Old-school punk rock, I still listen to this album ocasionally.
Trainspotting is a 1996 British drama film directed by Danny Boyle based on the novel of the same name by Irvine Welsh. The movie follows a group of heroin addicts in a late 1980s economically depressed area of Edinburgh and their passage through life.
Regarding the release, vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala states that the band "wanted to make the opposite of all the records we've done. All along we've threatened people that we'd make a pop record, and now we have."
I really like the way it sounds although many people have told me they don't like it.
It was the last album to feature original member Mick Jones, who was fired from the band, and drummer Topper Headon, who was kicked out for his heroin addiction.
Although the album includes different styles of music, it is considerably less experimental than their previous album Sandinista!.
The album was a subject of controversy because of a poster inserted in the original record sleeve. The poster, H. R. Giger's Landscape #XX, or Penis Landscape, was a painting depicting rows of penises and vulvas. The band was brought to trial for distributing harmful matter to minors, and though the case did not result in a conviction, Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles was driven almost to bankruptcy.
The album is an example of the progressive, psychedelic side of the Kennedys' musical personality. The spaghetti western soundtrack influence is also noticeable in the horn parts and in East Bay Ray's atmospheric guitar work. Frankenchrist is noted for its relative lack of traditionally 'hardcore' material. Most of the songs are slower and longer than the majority of other Dead Kennedys songs. "M.T.V. − Get off the Air" is notable for its pointed slam of the music establishment and "Stars and Stripes of Corruption" for its exegesis of Biafra's political philosophies.
Second album from Dead Kennedys. Musically, many different elements bubble to the surface on Plastic Surgery Disasters, including surf-rock, oddly psychedelic guitar textures, and traditional film music.
The album includes collaborations with King Crimson's Adrian Belew, who plays guitar solos on the title track "Deadwing" and "Halo", and Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt, who adds vocal harmonies on "Deadwing, "Lazarus", and "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here". He also plays the second guitar solo on "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here".
In Concert is a live album by Janis Joplin. It was released in 1972 after Joplin's death as a double-LP. The first record contains performances with Big Brother and the Holding Company, recorded at various locations in 1968 and 1970, and the second with the Full Tilt Boogie Band.I grew up with this album, it was the first great one of my childhood.
The twenty-eight-track album was released as a two-disc CD and triple LP. The album features a wide array of styles, as well as greater musical input from bassist D'arcy Wretzky and second guitarist James Iha.
I don't like this one as much as I do Adore but it is probably the best in The Smashing Pumpkins career.
The album's subject material incorporated various sexual innuendos commonly associated with the band, but in terms of themes it is more varied than previous outings. Lust, death, contemplations of suicide, drugs, globalization, and travel are all part of themes introduced in the album.
About the making of the album, Dee Dee wrote in his autobiography, Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones: It was tough recording the Brain Drain album because everyone took their shit out on me. I dreaded being around them. It drove me away--I didn't even end up playing on the album. Everybody in the band had problems; girlfriend problems, money problems, mental problems.
