Top Albums of the Noughties?


This seems like an act of me jumping on the bandwagon but hey I have been a music geek for years, so I guess, geeks just simply love lists. My list is, AS EXPECTED, heavy on Japanese psych, Noise and psych rock in general as to me, besides a few surprises that you will see below, are the most crucial genres of music in this era and time of cultural blandness, indifference and helplessness. I hope you will pick up a few of the albums in the list and give them a listen, and hopefully blow your mind along the way.

So here we go but not in any order except for the Top 10:

1.Various - Broken Flag: A Retrospective 1982-1985
2.Incapacitants - Box Is Stupid
3.Fushitsusha - Origin's Hesitation
4.Harry Pussy - You'll Never Play This Town Again
5.Electric Eels - Eyeballs Of Hell
6.Skullflower - Orange Canyon Mind
7.Albert Ayler - Holy Ghost
