10 Rock and Roll albums you must listen(and how to listen properly)

Here's the list of the rock n' roll albums that you must listen to. This is made by me and beware that this list is 100% subjective. Any criticism will not be welcomed:P


1. AC/DC - Highway To Hell (1979)
AC/DC is the greatest Rock N' Roll band. It's really hard to tell which one is the best among their massive full discography. 'Back In Black' is the most selling album of theirs but I prefered this one. When I was touring the South Island of New Zealand, the bus driver played the song 'Highway To Hell'. Words of the song at that time scared me a little bit, however, I actually felt as I was in heaven! Play this album in the car when you go somewhere for a vacation.


2. Nirvana - Nevermind(1991)
It might be a bit tiring to talk about Nirvana because they were mentioned too much whenever people talk about rock bands. Nowadays I don't listen to their albums, but they are still my favorite rock band. Nevermind was the first rock album that I purchased. Play this album when you get angry.

3. Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon (1973) This album is famous for staying in the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks! It is an incredible record and there will no album that will break that record. This is like drugs. After I played this one first, I couldn't but keep listening to it everyday. Don't do anything when you listen to this album. Sit down and listen to every single sound in the every songs. Don't stop while you are listening. After it finishes, you would feel as you watched a movie or something.

4. Various Artists - Velvet Goldmine Soundtrack (1998) This is my favorite movie soundtrack of the non-favorite movie. I don't really like the story of this movie, but the music in it was glamorous. Watch the movie even you don't like the homosexual movie. After that listen to the soundtrack again. You'll be addicted.

5. The Clash - London Calling (1979) This is the greatest punk rock album. Even though I don't know much about punk rock or culture, this really sounds good to me. Play this and dance.

6. Pulp - Different Class (1995)

Jarvis Cocker is a genius. He really shows the DIFFERENT CLASS in this album. You can also dance to this music.

7. Arcade Fire - Funeral (2004) This it the greatest album of the 21th century, I think. During the rest of this new century, no one will be able to make a better one than this. Music and words are really well organized. It didn't sell well like mainstream music but apparently shows what indie music is. Their live performance is also great. Every members of the band changes positions for each songs and they use whatever makes sounds.(eg. hitting helmets) But to listen this album, sit down in a quiet place and concentrate to the music. (Also, do not stop the music until it finishes playing.)

8. The Killers - Hot Fuss (2004)

This guys just played glamorous indie rock n' roll then, and they become one of the biggest band in the world now. Anyone can dance to their music. I really hope to see them play in Korea.

9. Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go (1996)

The greatest Welsh band ever. This is the first album that they made without their missing (and who is still missing) guitarist Richey James. When you play this, imagine that you lost your loved ones, and the singer's scream will be stabbed into your heart.

10. Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)

This is one of the unfortunate albums of 1967 (The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper albums was released the same year) and unfavored by the masses. It is famous for its cover art by Andy Warhol. Play this album and go to sleep.

All the music above is worth paying. Listen to them. But don't download them for free!
