Just a simple question, not difficult, and I note to prevent any possible arguments, not objective.
What is the best rock album ever? Doesn't have to be specific, doesn't have to be complex, doesn't even need a reason other than "I like it!". I just want to know your thoughts.
For me, I'm gonna have to say that I'm going to cheat and say there are two tied for first.
1. Ramones, by the Ramones. I love this album- there are no fancy tricks, no fancy recording effects, nothing but pure undiluted intensity and rock. With this albums, the Ramones proved to me that music isn't about anything but the pure sheer joy of performing.
2. Loveless, by My Bloody Valentine. Now, this album is possibly the antipode of the previous- fancy tricks, fancy recording effects, but it has the same pure intensity and awesomeness of Ramones. Kevin Shields' guitar wizardry on this album is something to behold. The undefined, dreamy, wall of sound of this album is amazing and emotional, and so astonishingly that it sits tied as my number one.
So, yours, folks?
