important, although they may not guarantee future success like it happened
– to my modest view - in the case of Radiohead or New York Dolls. However,
they function as a stepping stone to future acknowledgement of music
greatness, reflected in pioneer sounds and controversial tunes.
There are so many top albums in the history of music that it makes it hard
to choose among them. Also ranking a top list in music often depends on
own experiences and preferences. However, the albums reviewed below were
pioneers when released and have profoundly influenced the course of music
over time until today.
#1 ELVIS PRESLEY - ELVIS PRESLEY (1956)
Representing Rock & Roll music in his infancy, Elvis released
comprehensively raw sounds in his debut album, which immediately caught
the attention of the world. Scandalous and controversial, daring to move
his hips on-stage insinuating sexual viewpoints, The King created a myth
around himself and Rock & Roll, initiating the view of bad influence after
the romantic years of cha cha, and mambo.
The self-titled album of Elvis include smash hits like is "Money Honey"
"Heartbreak Hotel", "Blue Suede Shoes", "Tutti Frutti" and "Blue Moon" to
name a few. Elvis influenced many artists in the following years. Using
rock music anchored by blues and gospel sounds in an ear that Black
America was completely unappreciated in the States, releasing one of the
best albums ever in the history of music.
#2 - SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND - THE BEATLES (1966)
Widely regarded as The Beatles' best work, Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Hearts
Club Band is one of the most influential albums of all time. It was not
only Beatles' memorable, short tunes that made the album a huge success.
It was also the innovative approach in sound, artwork and studio
technology.
Sgt. Peppers' reflects also the group's maturity. Defining a revolutionary
psychedelic mood, while swelling the gospel of love and Eastern
spirituality, Sgt. Peppers' had an immediate, massive impact on the globe.
#3 – DOORS – THE DOORS (1967)
The Doors is the debut album of the legendary California group and maybe
the most shocking one in the mid 60s, due to its breakthrough single "The
End" which struggles with the oedipal syndrome for 11:40 minutes. Apart
from "The End", the album includes a substantially extended version of
"Light My Fire", along with huge singles like "Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)"
based on a poem by Bertolt Brecht & Kurt Weill, "The Crystal Ship" and
"Back Door Man".
The controversial, yet charismatic and multidimensional personality of Jim
Morrison captures the listener immediately. His profoundly authentic
performances, both on stage and in the studio, could never be forgotten.
Being a singer, poet, songwriter, writer and film director, Morrison was
desperately looking for ways to express his intense emotionality and his
opposition to the dominant political system in the US at that time. And he
did.
#4 - NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS HERE'S THE SEX PISTOLS – SEX PISTOLS (1977)
Sex Pistols produced only album in the short career, yet they quickly
became a massive cultural fact. Promoting subversive ground-breaking
sounds with minimal instrumentation, anchored by explosive guitar riffs,
military drum tempo and anarchic lyrics, Never Mind The Bollocks has four
magnificent singles,. "Anarchy in the U.K.", "God Save the Queen", "Pretty
Vacant" and "Holidays in the Sun", which hit #1 in the UK Chart.
With Never Mind The Bollocks, Sex Pistols are the architects of the UK
punk movement in the mid 70s, and the reason for the massive social attack
on the British monarchy and nationalism. Exposing extreme anger on the
system, they undeniably have influenced a whole generation with their
spontaneously infectious outbreak of violence and isolation against
commercialism and political correctness.
#5 - LONDON CALLING – THE CLASH (1980)
London Calling is The Clash's scream against unemployment, drug addiction,
and racism that was excessive in London at that time. Using elements of
ska, reggae, and even pop, The Clash managed to convert anarchy and chaos
to genuine political philosophy.
Struggling against the despotism of the political system, they possessed
an outstanding on-stage charisma and fierce music intelligence reflected
in their live performances. Moreover, arousing an extreme passion and
conveying an immediate impact to their astonished audience, The Clash
captured the messed-up young kids and offered them the key to a brand new
world, where anything was possible, allowed and grandiosely powerful.
#6 - HYBRID THEORY - LINKIN PARK (2000)
Bearing elements of grunge, alternative rock, funk, and hip-hop, Hybrid
Theory is maybe the most complex and rich album of all time. Although high
commercialized, Hybrid Theory managed to bring together diverse
inspirations and styles.
With obvious influences by Depeche Mode, Guns N' Roses and The Smiths,
Hybrid Theory is a personal deposition of the Linkin Park front man's
difficult childhood. Bennington's child sexual abuse, excessive drug and
alcohol use, isolation, disappointment and doomed relationships are all
described in an album that emphasizing on mood over melody, yet it brings
forward some brilliantly memorable tracks.
