Alright all your rotten motherfuckers reading this nonsensical madness I have had an idea. I am going to try and lay down a list off the top of my head of cds I feel everyone should listen to. If you disagree with any of my choices I say fuck you and give me a reason why, or sit the back down and keep rocking to that REO speedwagon cd. Alright with that cleared up here it goes.


Sublime- every cd, really just do it

Propagandhi- I can't pick which one because they are so different and I go through phases with each one. As of this moment though I would say Potemkin City limits. It is such a hard and fast album it will knock the trendy button right off your shoulder bag.


Slightly Stoopid: Acoustic Roots- this is my favorite acoustic album. Any time you feel like you just need to relax and maybe melt into the sofa for like 45 minutes or so this is the album to take you there. There are enough reggae hits on here to make any person wanna get baked and stare at the music for a awhile. This cd and every sublime cd make up the greater portion of what I listened to for a very long time in my canmore days.

Lagwagon: Hoss- This is one of the most quintessential pop punk cds of all time. Each Lagwagon cd is is good but as with a lot of bands it is again, for different reasons. Hoss however hits all the highs a pop punk cd is supposed to hit and does so in style. It is fast many times angry and and I will admit whiny(but hey punk is built on whinnying about things that bug you) yet at the same time it captures a certain feeling and attitude in such a perfect ways as for it to shine through above everything else. I know alot of people who would put such albums as blink-182 dude ranch or maybe green day dookie, but again I say none of them for me really managed to catch with as much style the attitude that pop punk was built around.

NOFX: The longest Line, The War on Errorism- I know this may seem like a rather odd choice to a lot of people(not NOFX but the NOFX cds I chose) but I can't help it. The Longest Line wass always my favorite NOFX album despite its length. Yet the War on Errorism is an album that came along at a time when it was sorely needed. Punk or at least a lot of the Punk on such labels as epitaph and fat wreck chords was become progressively safer and acquiring either a more metal sound or a more indie sound. Along comes NOFX and puts out a fast scathing angry and didI say fast Album. It was like a breath of fresh air after being in a hotbox for to long. The first two songs alone are worth the price of the whole cd. I really feel this cd helped remind a lot of people how good Fast angry punk with distinguishable(key word being distinguishable) lyrics could be. I am so tired of bands who claim to have a message in their lyrics that just belt them out the the point where you cant even hear if he is saying anything at all or just trying to clear his throat really loudly.

Murder By Death: What is left of them and what will they become- This is the best Concept album ever. There it is I laid it down dispute it if you will but I have a zombie western in my corner. We will eat and shoot all doubters. I can't really say anymore then zombie western if that doesn't grab your attention then maybe you should check your pulse.

Boys Night Out: Trainwreck- following the best concept album is the second best concept album. It is dark it has a dead wife and amputated hands as well as enough melodic moments to swoon your 80 year old grandmother. For people who think Thursday, Thrice and such bands are the pinnacle of (gahh hate this term but) Screamo just kill your depressed self already or better yet do it to this album because it is way better.

Tom Waits: Blood Money- Ok this one IS for all you who are depressed and paranoid. It captures those feeling to a tee. With such lyrics as, "the river of the world is misery, so everybody row", you really can't go wrong. It is gravely and dirty and makes normal people grate their teeth in anxiety.

ok wow this is going to not only take a while but it really makes me want to sit down and listen to some albums so yeah this isn't even close to be being done so don't think that this is all or that this are in any way shape or form in some actual numbered list. It is simply the albums I think people should listen to as a way of making their life more complete as I think of them and find the energy to write them down. This is not it and if it was I would hope that all of you would scoop out my inner ear with a spoon. So there you have it the beginnings to my version of the musical bible. Comment, critique, call me fucking insane just give reasons you shallow maggot eaters.
