I’ll never understand the hate for this album. This is one of the most intense songs they ever did.
Two for one from the Paprika soundtrack. Personnaly they always make me feel a sort of playful nostalgia. Maybe because I listened to the ost on repeat during my studies.

Come man if we are going to celebrate the albums we could put at least one sing from each of them.

True, I’d like to think that most music fans (hopefully) know the albums. Even if they’re not to everyone’s taste, they’re basically “listen before you die” status.
Crazy to also think that if it hadn’t been pushed back, Soundgarden’s Badmotorfinger would’ve released the same day as well.

Never let that be an excuse for not filling the world full of awesome music.

Alright so someone did 1991 which is considered one of those golden years for music. I decided to take a look at the year considered the worst in music, 1974. Only to find it is only bad if you go by the charts thus proving once and for all that people have poor taste in music.
“Love Hurts” from Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fCTZ0ZnD44
This was Parson’s final album before his overdose on morphine and alcohol and consists of recordings over a four month period.
“Rebel Rebel” from Diamond Dogs by David Bowie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U16Xg_rQZkA
A lot of people tend to overlook the period between Ziggy and the Berlin trilogy. This song and The Jean Genie from Aladdin Sayne is the most mileage people get on commercial radio.
“You Haven’t Done Nothin’” from Fulfillingness’ First Finale by Stevie Wonder
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji2ma2mfyhU
One of the last albums of Stevie Wonder’s classic period, this song is of course an indictment of the Nixon regime in the wake of Watergate
“Help Me” from Court and Spark by Joni Mitchell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOEE-kR-Txg
One of the singles from the album that help revitalise her career, it was this or Raised on Robbery.
“Burn” from Burn by Deep Purple.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgbf03MJyS4
The first album from Deep Purple Mark III (Deep Purples various iterations are called Marks) and probably one of their last good albums until Bananas came out thirty years later. Deep Purple are still recording new albums by the way.
“September Gurls” from Radio City by Big Star
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epw7-dEUwG8
Big Star have influence a wide range of bands but remain virtually unknown and to make matters worse their one biggest song is known for being a cover (Cheap Trick’s version of In the Street)
“This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us” from Kimono My House by Sparks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUJ_ifjKopM
Another musician’s band, you might not have heard of them but a some musician’s have including Weird Al who parodied them with “Virus Alert” a style parody as people call them
“Same Old Song and Dance” from Get Yer Wings by Aerosmith
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzdWPwVTWsI
Aerosmith’s sophomore album, some say it is the hardest album to release but given Song and Dance, Lord of the Thighs and Train Kept A-Rollin are on this I say they nailed it.
“Autobahn” from Autobahn by Kraftwerk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkOZNJYAZ7c
This is like twenty minutes long just so you know , I figured I needed to represent Europe itself a bit more.
“Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Babe” from Can’t Get Enough by Barry White.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgzCrjkcm0Y
Probably the only time the Billboard singles chart and my list overlap, you are probably intimately familiar with this song. (Geddit?)
Oh and here is the original version of “Take Me to the River” by Al Green from Al Green Explores Your Mind.
