You Kids Think You’re Punk? Then Name Two SR-71 Albums My nephew told me he was getting into punk music and played me some stuff from this guy Machine Gun Kelly. I couldn’t help but laugh and roll my eyes. What these kids today call “punk” is embarrassing. It’s time they learn what real punk is from someone who was there when it happened. I was there when Yellowcard opened for Good Charlotte. I was …

Is Apple’s Top 100 Albums List THAT Bad? submitted by /u/Alternative_Volume89

Guns N’ Roses – Use Your Illusion. I always thought they were two mediocre albums that should could have been culled into good one. Not to long ago, I read where peeps claimed that this was their favorite album by Guns N’ Roses. Appetite was easily my favorite. Could Use Your Illusion have been culled to one disc (release)? Personally, I think that it was just a money grab. Don’t get me wrong. I bought both CDs upon release. I’m not a hater. I just don’t listen to the album….

Are there any rock albums in which you truly enjoy every song on the album? I find that most great albums have one or two songs that bring the album down in quality. If I had to answer this, I would say Led Zeppelin IV – Led Zeppelin, Let it Bleed – Rolling Stones, and The Doors – The Doors are a few that come to mind. submitted by /u/Ok-Camel7458

Great Australian Albums series on YouTube I collect vinyl– and one subset of my vinyl collection are Australian and NZ bands and musicians. I’ve never been south of the equator– but I have this strange fascination with Aussie/Kiwi music and culture. Anyway there’s a series of documentaries on YouTube for “Great Australian Albums”– after watching them I added 2 of the featured albums …

Are there any Albums that you would consider a 10/10? Recently I have been going through various albums that I listen to and giving them a rating out of 10. I have gone through around 50 at this point and the highest score I have been able to give is a 9.2/10. I would like to find an album to beat that score so I want to know what albums you all consider a 10/10 or at least what album you think you…

Most Studio Albums Are Over Produced I’ve been attending a lot of live music lately at festivals. So I’m seeing bands that I don’t know well. Live they sound amazing. When I listen to the same music on their albums – it just doesn’t hold up. I recently read an interview with Tommy Shannon, bassist for Stevie Ray Vaughan where he said that on their seminal album Texas Flood, they di…

Greatest middle eastern albums of all time? I was listening to some late 70s – early 80s albums recently (like David Bowie’s Lodger and Brian Eno/David Byrne’s My Life in the Bush of Ghosts) and noticing a strong middle eastern influence on some songs–which made me realize, I don’t know which albums these artists were pulling those influences from! In fact, this made me realize that I’m …

Live albums that serve as a Rosetta Stone of rock n roll If you’re a performer, especially in some form of rock, I believe there’s some albums out there that serve as a perfect example of how to rock, and put on an awesome show. These, to me, can be very inspirational for songwriting too. “How the West was Won” – Led Zeppelin “Live at Wembley Stadium” – Queen “17-11-70” – Elton John “The Best Band…

Prompted by the post about musicians who leveled up between albums: let’s talk about the reverse! Who made an amazing album(s), then followed up with garbage? Maybe Dylan? Weezer? Stone Roses? U2? Many musicians have a slow decline across their career but I can’t think of anyone who released a brilliant record and then followed it up with something awful. submitted by /u/sansafiercer
