Thee Oh Sees -- A Weird Exits

  Hands down their finest release, a killer mixture of their traditional garage sound and Dwyer's Eno-esque side project Damadged Bug, making this a super nova of the modern psych rock scene!  My only mega beef is the total fucking rip off 45 rpm double album format that has only three sides ... a complete discredit to the record buying public!!

Sam Cooke -- Night Beat

  This soulfully melancholic gospelesquely bluesy record is considered a concept album, not in words, but in sound.  So damn perfect for after a shit day at work or getting your heart ripped out, cause at least Sam is always there to help you relax and ease into the Night Beat.

John Cale -- Paris 1919

  Paris 1919 is an interesting mix of glammy Eno and baroque Elton John, not at all what you would expect from Cale although he rarely does what's expected.  This soft 70's AM style record is an underrated classic of the time ...

The Jesus And Mary Chain -- Honey's Dead

  Man you just have to love The Jesus And Mary Chain's juxtaposing mix of dark goth undertones with sweet lush vocals and pop sensibilities, hardly any groups could pull  such a thing off and Honey's Dead is that in spades!

The PrettyThings -- S.F. Sorrow

  The Pretty Things really came together once they finally dropped their poor man's Stones shtick, which was great, but S.F. Sorrow showed a range of creativity that sits between Something Else by The Kinks and The Who's Tommy, which Townsend refuses to admit that Sorrow was a direct inspiration, despite the many similarities.  Although like Oddesy And Oracle this album was a year too late and missed the boat for mass appeal, but never too late to become a timeless classic.

Hayden -- Everything I Long For

  Why in the fuck do people revere this terrible singer?  I'd hear, what I used to think were, cool people talk about this guy like he was  kind of trailblazing lo fi indie legend, and I always wondered why I had never listened to this, now I totally see why, it's crappy jock rock that's up there with the likes of Pearl Jam and Blind Melon.  I was so ashamed to have this in my collection I had to hide it in case a friend were to come over and judge me for having spent good money on such a monumental whiny piece of shit.  

The Beatles

  I have to admit that my not so white album is probably my least favorite Beatles release, mostly due to the uncohesive nature of the song variety, it sounds more like a sporadic singles collection, rather than their usual album oriented efforts despite whatever internal strife ... definitely the mark of the beginning of the end.
