They sucked you in and took you over for days, months, weeks and years. These were the albums that you can use to identify time, places, people, emotions. These are the albums that no matter what they were thought of musically shaped your world."<br /><br />1. Parallel Lines - Blondie<br />New wave was the first music genre I discovered on my own - roughly age 9 or 10. The first track, Hanging on the Telephone, just blew my mind. I met Deborah Harry about 12 years ago; she was gracious and as awesome as I anticipated.<br /><br />2.The Doors - The Doors<br />Released the same year as Sgt Pepper and Surrealistic Pillow, this to me typifies all that was fantastic and fatal about the Summer of Love. Morrison. I listened to this non stop in junior high school.<br /><br />3.Back in Black - AC/DC<br />The first album I asked my parents to buy me - and they did.<br /><br />4.Dirty Mind - Prince<br />The neighborhood kids introduced me to Prince around the time Controversy came out. After a few years I went back to find more Prince and stumbled upon Dirty Mind. Scandalous. Funky. Fabulous.<br /><br />5. Touch - Eurythmics<br />I had the Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) album but it was Touch that made me a rabid Eurythmics - and by extension - Annie Lennox fan. It was a tip off to adoration of all things electronic leading to....<br /><br />6. Trans-Europe Express - Kraftwerk<br />This album was released in 1977 but I didn't discover it until roughly 1983 or 84. Played it until the grooves wore out.<br /><br />7. Leave Home - Ramones<br />Welcome to Punk Rock. Also released in 1977 and entered my world in 1984.<br /><br />8. Are You Experienced? - The Jimi Hendrix Experience<br />My favorite track on this album is Are You Experienced. Yes, I know Electric Ladyland is better, but this the first Hendrix I bought. I played it non stop my freshman year of college.<br /><br />9. Fables of the Reconstruction - R.E.M.<br />Another album that dominated my college years as I became a philomath myself. Alternative music becomes popular music.<br /><br />10.The White Album - The Beatles<br />In truth Revolver means more to me musically, but The White Album comforted my seventeen year old broken heart.<br /><br />11. Doolittle - The Pixies<br />Debaser and Tame picked up the pieces of my mind that were destroyed by Blondie, pulverized them, and shot them into space.<br /><br />12.It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back - Public Enemy<br />The soundtrack for my first summer of research in graduate school, at the synchrotron in Stoughton, Wisconsin. Don't believe the hype - it's a sequel.<br /><br />13. Nevermind - Nirvana<br />Classic. My favorite Nirvana tunes are on other albums (Pennyroyal Tea, In Utero, Aneurysm, From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah) but this ripped the 1990s out of the utter crap that was pop music. Also, eff Pearl Jam. Poseurs.<br /><br />14.Diva - Annie Lennox<br />The soundtrack to the start of my first significant relationship - six and half years of mostly joy. After our breakup, I'd listen to it and mourn.<br /><br />15.Living in Clip - Ani Difranco<br />The soundtrack to the start of my second (and current) significant relationship - ten years of Sturm und Drang, ideas and lust, devotion. Like the energizer bunny, still going.<br /><br />BONUS<br />16.OK Computer -Radiohead<br />Minor keys. Paranoia. Thom Yorke. Macintosh Simple Text. Enough said.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1671112877611964544-6725997536515284716?l=sciencesounds.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Mad Doctorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07788091845854202237noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1671112877611964544.post-36126210490611228452009-01-16T12:17:00.000-08:002009-01-16T12:19:35.890-08:00Fatboy Slim – Praise You <br />Björk – Army of Me<br />Simian Mobile Disco – I Believe <br />Ellen Allien – Erdbeermund<br />The Knife – Heartbeats <br />Tiga – Welcome to Planet Sexor <br />Freezepop – Parlez-Vous Freezepop?<br />Peaches – Set it Off (Northern Lite RMX)<br />Fischerspooner – Emerge<br />Chicks on Speed – 99 Cents<br />Ladytron – CMYK<br /> <br />Best of set: The Knife, Fischerspooner<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1671112877611964544-3612621049061122845?l=sciencesounds.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Mad Doctorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07788091845854202237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1671112877611964544.post-25919239302536025932009-01-15T15:47:00.000-08:002009-01-15T15:48:41.116-08:00A short experiment and a short list:<br /><br />Cibo Matto – Sugar Water <br />Dannii Minogue – Good Times <br />Imogen Heap – Closing In8 <br />Kate Bush – Pi<br />Saint Etienne – Stars Above Us<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1671112877611964544-2591923930253602593?l=sciencesounds.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Mad Doctorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07788091845854202237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1671112877611964544.post-92128725865757326822009-01-15T12:09:00.000-08:002009-01-15T12:12:38.584-08:00Shinjuku Zula Da Riddim Griffin (from Various Chimeras)<br />B-Rock Fuck the Chase<br />Ladytron Cease2xist<br />The Thought Criminals (I'm gonna be a) Celebrity <br />Ravelyn Slipstream (omg awful singing)<br />Goldfrapp Deep Honey<br />Bjork, Venus as a Boy,<br />Hooverphonic, Battersea (from Blue Wonder Powder Milk)<br />Moloko, Indigo<br />Sneaker Pimps, becoming X<br />Brazilian Girls, P*ssy<br />Faithless, Mass Destruction <br />Gus Gus, David (from Attention) <br />Sia, Breathe me (from Colour the Small one)<br />Royksopp, Triumphant<br />Portishead, The Rip<br />Emilie Simon Dame de Lotus<br />Cibo Matto, Sugar Water<br />Tricky, Feed Me<br /><br />Best of Set: Gus Gus, Brazilian girls, Emilie Simon<br />Worst of Set: Ravelyn, Faithless, B-Rock<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1671112877611964544-9212872586575732682?l=sciencesounds.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Mad Doctorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07788091845854202237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1671112877611964544.post-66207561956483139982008-10-06T11:14:00.000-07:002008-10-06T11:28:11.358-07:00<span style="font-weight:bold;">10/3/08</span><br />Vicious -
