David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars (1972)

Tracklist:

1. "Five Years" – 4:43
2. "Soul Love" – 3:33
3. "Moonage Daydream" – 4:35
4. "Starman" – 4:16
5. "It Ain't Easy" (Ron Davies) – 2:56
6. "Lady Stardust" – 3:20
7. "Star" – 2:47
8. "Hang on to Yourself" – 2:37
9. "Ziggy Stardust" – 3:13
10. "Suffragette City" – 3:19
11. "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" – 2:57

After flirting with heavy guitar rock ("The Man Who Sold the World") and lighter pop ("Hunky Dory"), Bowie found middle ground on Ziggy Stardust. The creation of the Ziggy Stardust persona would live on well after Bowie shed the alien skin, marking the first rock concept album by a sexually ambiguous, artistically bent musician who confounded critics at every turn. A blend of dramatic strings, swaggering saxophones, jagged guitars, and theatrical arrangements, the album's darker rock numbers like "It Ain't Easy," "Moonage Daydream," "Ziggy Stardust," and the irresistible "Suffragette City," still serve as solid excursions into the future (then and now) of rock. The buoyant "Hang on to Yourself" and the dreamy "Star" offer hints of optimism in Ziggy's bleak world. The dramatic "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" and the image-heavy "Star Man" ("he'd like to come and meet us but thinks he'd blow our minds!") no doubt provided plenty of stage-worthy moments when Ziggy toured in the '70s, but years later they still thrill. Bowie blew our minds! --Lorry Fleming

Kings Of Leon - Only By The Night (2008)

Tracklist:

1. Closer
2. Crawl
3. Sex On Fire
4. Use Somebody
5. Manhattan
6. Revelry
7. Seventeen
8. Notion
9. I Want You
10. Be Somebody
11. Cold Desert

Despite a wave of criticism asserting that Kings of Leon's fourth full-length is "too commercial," Only by the Night may be the closest thing to a pitch-perfect album to drop in 2008. Granted, Tennessee's band of brothers (and one first cousin) takes a turn for the heavily polished here, but what the album lacks in rough-edged raunch, it more than makes up for in earnestness and--yes--stunning beauty. From the opening notes of "Closer" to the listing balladry of "Cold Desert," Only by the Night hardly misses a beat. Highlights abound, particularly in the trading off of melodic lines between instruments, and in this regard, bassist Jared Followill is the album's quiet MVP. Above these gorgeous instrumentals, singer Caleb emotes with a dramatic grit that never loses its command. A model of melodic rock composition, arranged and produced with a warm, inviting veneer, and performed with aching sincerity, these 11 tracks coalesce into a sanguine whole that eclipses the band's much-discussed rock posturing and yields more with every play. A good band's great album, Only by the Night (finally) establishes Kings of Leon as a rock act that's worthy of seriously sustained attention.

Dave Matthews Band - Crash (1996)

Tracklist:

1. "So Much to Say" – 4:06
2. "Two Step" – 6:27
3. "Crash Into Me" – 5:16
4. "Too Much" – 4:22
5. "#41" – 6:39
6. "Say Goodbye" – 6:12
7. "Drive In, Drive Out" – 5:55
8. "Let You Down" – 4:07
9. "Lie in Our Graves" – 5:42
10. "Cry Freedom" – 5:54
11. "Tripping Billies" – 5:00
12. "Proudest Monkey" – 9:11

It's tempting to label the Dave Matthews Band as torchbearers of the Grateful Dead's moderate rock fusion and send them off on the next summer tour featuring either Blues Traveler or the Spin Doctors. But there is more at work here, particularly on the band's second major-label release. Crash pairs soothing sounds (flute, acoustic guitar, six-string bass) with a dark emotional undercurrent. The South African (by way of Virginia) frontman reveals a rare intensity on the title track and the free-form "41," while the group shows that it's not afraid to let loose on songs such as the stirring "Too Much." Producer Steve Lillywhite adds an impressive sheen to the recordings. --Aidin Vaziri

Frank Zappa - Apostrophe/Overnite Sensation (1973-1974)

En conmemoración del cumpleaños de Zappa (21/12/1940) subo estos dos discos que no tienen desperdicio; rock, jazz, funk, soul, blues, pop y demás con su famoso toque bizarro.

Amazon.com
History will show that Frank Zappa (1940-1993) was one of the greatest American composers of the 20th century in any musical form, and this superb episode of the Classic Albums series offers ample proof of Zappa's genius. As Zappa's reverent son and musical heir Dweezil Zappa rightly points out, Over-Nite Sensation (1973) and Apostrophe (') (1974) are the albums that epitomize Zappa's masterful jazz/rock fusion, virtually defining a unique musical genre that can only be called "Zappa." The recording of both albums is chronicled here not simply because they best represent the dazzling complexity of Zappa's music, but also because they were recorded simultaneously in a burst of creativity, proving beyond any doubt that Zappa was more than simply a mischievous provocateur. While the world may know Zappa from his mainstream novelty hit "Valley Girl" (with daughter Moon on vocals), any devoted Zappaphile will tell you that this is the real Zappa, in full musical bloom, working miracles in the studio with The Mothers of Invention and a stellar variety of topnotch musicians who cite their time with Zappa as the most rewarding period of their careers.

Apostrophe:

1. Don´t Eat the Yellow Snow
2. Nanook Rubs It
3. St. Alfonzo´s Pancake Breakfast

2. "Pictures of You" – 7:24
3. "Closedown" – 4:16
4. "Lovesong" – 3:29

10. "Disintegration" – 8:18
11. "Homesick" – 7:06
12. "Untitled" – 6:30

En mi opinión, la obra maestra de Robert Smith. Un disco de aquellos. Y es otra prueba de que se puede hacer música profunda con muy poco.

Melancólico, triste, depresivo, enojado son los adjetivos que mejor le caben, aunque también hay algunos temas "alegres" (un sentimiento de felicidad post-tragedia diría yo, los primeros 3 tracks).

Para escuchar un día de lluvia.

Samples:
Disintegration
Plainsong

Cita:

The album's songwriting and recording were experimental for Radiohead,[7] as the band replaced their earlier "anthemic" rock style with a more electronic sound.[8] Influenced by Krautrock,[9] jazz,[10] and 20th century classical music,[11] Radiohead abandoned their three-guitar lineup for a wider range of instruments on Kid A, using keyboards, the Ondes martenot, and, on certain compositions, strings and brass.[9 Kid A has been considered one of the more challenging pop records to have commercial success,[14] and it polarised opinion among both fans and critics.[7] The album won a Grammy for Best Alternative Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. It also received praise for introducing listeners to diverse forms of underground music.[7]
