Nothing's Shocking is the debut studio album by the American rock band Jane's Addiction, released on August 23, 1988 through Warner Bros. Records. The album was preceded by the band's eponymous live debut album.

Nothing's Shocking was well received by critics and peaked at number 103 on the Billboard 200, eventually being certified platinum by the RIAA. The single "Jane Says" reached number six on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks in 1988, although the album was subject to censorship due to its cover and the music video for the second single, "Mountain Song".

Another near miss for me.

Yeah this is one of those albums that probably should have been on my list. Thinking of it makes me vividly picture my freshman year of college. This was one of the four albums the guy across the hall from me (with the super loud speakers) would play constantly.

This is a band I really wanted to like, but they just do not click with me. It's fine music, but I'm just never motivated to put their music on.

Hunky Dory is the fourth studio album by the English musician David Bowie, released in the United Kingdom on 17 December 1971 through RCA Records. Following a break from touring and recording, Bowie settled down to write new songs, composing on piano rather than guitar as in earlier works. Bowie assembled Mick Ronson (guitar), Trevor Bolder (bass) and Mick Woodmansey (drums), and recorded the album in mid-1971 at Trident Studios in London. Rick Wakeman contributed piano shortly before joining Yes. Bowie co-produced the album with Ken Scott, who had engineered Bowie's previous two records.

As much of a Bowie fan as I am know, Hunky Dory is a bit of a mixed bag for me. It has two of my favorites (Queen ***** and Life On Mars?), but I have never liked Changes or Pretty Things very much. Good album without a doubt; he just has quite a few I prefer.

I love this record, but Arcade Fire is yet another band that I could find room for only one album (their debut), so this is one of many I hated to leave off. Sprawl II might be their greatest song ever.

203 (tie). Axis: Bold as Love – The Jimi Hendrix Experience (126 points)

@Mister CIA #1
@jwb #15

Axis: Bold as Love is the second studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was first released by Track Records in the United Kingdom on December 1, 1967, only seven months after the release of the group's highly successful debut album, Are You Experienced. In the United States, Reprise Records delayed the release until the following month. The album reached the top ten in the album charts in both countries.

The album displays several musical styles and critics saw it as demonstrating Jimi Hendrix's growth as a songwriter. It features "Spanish Castle Magic" and "Little Wing", two Hendrix compositions that draw on his roots performing with rhythm and blues bands and would remain in his live repertoire throughout his career. Its album cover generated controversy for displaying Hindu religious iconography. It was designed without Hendrix's approval, and he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction.

I'm feeling like a boxer whose time has passed. Can't say for sure, but as memory has it, this was the first album I loved as an album itself.

@jwb , what do you think. I'm partial to Bold as Love, but Little Wing, for the greater good of the playlist, might be the way (and it could be the first song to make the playlist twice). I won't stand in the way of the sweet little Buddhist anthem either, Castles Made of Sand. I think Wikkid had a strong opinion aboout this album too. I'll see if I can find anything when my Friday slows down.

Bold as Love works just fine for me.

I had to have Jimi in my top 20. It was hard to pick one. In the end it was this one or Machine Gun/Live, but I felt this one had a better chance of actually making the countdown. And like you say, I really like this one as an entire album. Not as many hits, but that doesn't matter much in Jimi's case.

Bold As Love it is. Could someone please add it to Spotify for me, por favor. Thank you.

Great album that really rocks. I'd suggest either of the first two songs or Mountain Song. But they're all great.

Unless he's dead set on "Thank You Boys" or "Standing In The Shower Thinking." Then you might have to intervene.

That I could listen to this album ardently in tenth grade and love it still says something about either me, the generation, or this band. I'm going with all three. This album is incendiary in almost every way. Not an oversight on my part, but if you had to a top 100 albums of your life list, this would easily be on it and might be in the top fifty. "Mountain Song," "Ted, Just Admit It," "Ocean Size," and "Summertime Rolls" are just dynamite. I've picked "Summertime Rolls" in draft after draft when the theme is summer or sun or anything related like that.

I love this album.

Summertime Rolls is in my top 25 of all songs, all time. Perry really paints a perfect picture with the lyrics and the music enchants.

The Harder They Come is the soundtrack album to the film of the same name, released in 1972 in the United Kingdom as Island Records ILPS 9202. It was issued in February 1973 in North America as Mango Records SMAS-7400. It peaked at No. 140 on the US Billboard 200. In 2021, the album was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

First album so far that should have been on my list but I did it too quickly. Great listen.

But if he were looking for a place he knew he wouldn't run into you accidentally, seems a good choice.

I wonder if they played it cool, nobody would have known. Went viral because looked guilty as heck.

Soundtrack?

I consider it a soundtrack. It's all the songs from the show. Though I suppose it's not quite technically a soundtrack- close enough for me with that I was looking to exclude for sake of trying to narrow my list.

I was going to get serious about this, but I won't. Okay, I can't help it. My girlfriend in college got really upset one night when I was mouthing or singing (I forget) the words to a song from a band I had previously disparaged. She thought I was changing and had flashes of what happened should we break up. She was . . . correct. Not in a good headspace but correct nonetheless. :(

Sorry, L___. I couldn't fight this feeling anymore. (It was not that song, but maybe our generation's stab at it—and I don't use stab by accident here.)

I am just catching up on this. Oh my. That is . . . unspeakable. I was wondering why krista4 said that and what the jokes were about. Maybe if he hadn't plummeted to the ground he could have told his wife they were sharing a hug or something.

Naw, he was cooked. Toast. My lord, krista4, that is the comment of the year.

Does anybody else feel genuinely terrible for their spouses or is half the billion copasetic? (Other fish in the sea and we are pragmatists, after all.)

His public apology was pretty feeble and it was comical that he threw some blame towards Coldplay by saying "how troubling it is that what should have been a private moment, became public without my consent..."

I'm pretty sure there's an implied consent to being filmed in crowd shots at a concert or sporting event - and even if there was not, maybe you should hold your private moments, in private, and not in a Stadium full of 65,000 people.

Brothers in Arms is the fifth studio album by the British rock band Dire Straits, released on 17 May 1985, by Vertigo Records internationally and Warner Bros. Records in the United States. It was the first album in history to sell over one million copies in CD format.

Brothers in Arms spent a total of 14 non-consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart (including ten consecutive weeks between 18 January and 22 March 1986), nine weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 in the United States and 34 weeks at number one on the Australian Albums Chart. It is certified nine-times platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and is one of the world's best-selling albums, having sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.

Another less obvious pick....

I've got to go with the obvious choice for the playlist - Mountain Song - that's the song that started it for me with this band. I saw them at the first Lollapalooza in Orlando and this thread has reminded me of all the kickass concerts I went to back when the bands were still relevant. I considered going to see them on this last tour, but Perry's voice has been pretty horrible for a long time now and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I didn't want to remember them like that. It would've been great to be at that Boston show to watch the Spinal Tap-like end of it all.

This album is incendiary in almost every way. Not an oversight on my part, but if I had to do a "Top 100 Albums of Your Life" list, this album would easily make it and it might be in the top fifty. "Mountain Song," "Ted, Just Admit It," "Ocean Size," and "Summertime Rolls" are just dynamite. I've picked "Summertime Rolls" in draft after draft when the theme is summer or sun or anything related like that.

I love this album.

I've got to go with the obvious choice for the playlist - Mountain Song - that's the song that started it for me with this band. I saw them at the first Lollapalooza in Orlando and this thread has reminded me of all the kickass concerts I went to back when the bands were still relevant. I considered going to see them on this last tour, but Perry's voice has been pretty horrible for a long time now and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I didn't want to remember them like that. It would've been great to be at that Boston show to watch the Spinal Tap-like end of it all.

Navarro has sued Farrell over the onstage assault. St. Hubbins and Tufnel never did that to each other.

I’m totally out of the loop. I missed all this. Did the ref have his back turned and did Farrell go after Navarro with a folding chair?
