Edit 2 | November 26, 2016: Just a single album. Looking into Reggae and Bluegrass right now, so other genres are on the back-burner, I guess. Hoping I find a lot of 4.0 and above.

Psychedelic Folk | Released: 1969 | Ratings: 6
I've had a bit of time to ruminate on this album and I feel comfortable saying that I adore it. It's a perfect storm of emotion and melody. Arguably one of the best albums of 1969. And only 6 ratings on Sputnikmusic. If you ever have time, give this interview a read. It's a real good companion piece for the album: http://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2011/11/dave-bixby-interview-about-ode-to.html |

Savage Sons Of Ya Ho Wa
Psychedelic Rock | Released: 1974 | Ratings: 2
Father Yod's story is nutty as all hell, from his cult surrounding vegetarian diets to him dying after a hand-gliding accident. While most of the cult's activities were previously unknown, a documentary was recently made and I'm excited to watch it so I can stop sleeping for a few nights. What I can say is that the music the cult produced is a blast. A good contrast to the solemn folk of Bixby's Ode To Quetzalcoatl. |

This one was in the database already, but didn't have any ratings. Shame really, but I'm glad I didn't have to add it with the band edits being on the fritz right now. No thank you. Anyway, this album is solid (THAT MOOG). While someone more seasoned in funk might be able to name a billion albums like this in no time flat, little ol' me needs a bit of catch-up. |

Psychedelic Rock | Released: 1973 | Ratings: 1
Listened to this a few months ago and, I've got to say, the album's growing on me. Again, I don't know nothin' 'bout no funk, so whatever. Love the flair they give these songs; really sets this album over the top.
(I need to promise myself that the next induction onto this list has nothing to do with psych, cause this is getting crazy.) |

I wasn't expecting this at all. I knew T. Rex had a background in folk, but wow. Their first two albums are just incredibly good. I'd recommend them highly. |
| 28 |  | The Freak Scene
Psychedelic Psoul
Psychedelic Rock | Released: 1967 | Ratings: 3
Yet another hidden psych gem, what else is new? Also, reminder to check The Deep. Apparently them and the Freak Scene are the same. I'm not sure, but even if I'm wrong I get to listen to a new 60s psych album. Win-win in my book. |

Comedy | Released: 1972 | Ratings: 1
I've been going back into my RateYourMusic ratings, and I just realized that I didn't rate any of those albums on Sputnikmusic. Probably because I only use RYM when Sputnik goes down. Now is as good a time as any to add some artists/albums I guess. This one holds a very special place in my heart. Even if most of the topics are a bit dated, making fun of the Beatles is a universal form of comedy. |
| 31 |  | The Tornados
The Original Telstar - The Sounds Of The Tornadoes
Space Age Pop/Surf | Released: 1962 | Ratings: 1
I don't know why I love this kind of stuff so much. Something about music trying to capture the mood
of space exploration and pride in technological advancement just gets me. Long story short: 5.0'd this. |
| 32 |  | Donnie and Joe Emerson
Dreamin' Wild
Soul | Released: 2012 | Ratings: 4
This was one of the few I didn't have to add to the database, which was pretty exciting. It was originally recorded in 1979, but Light in the Attic did a reissue of it. Can't sing the praise of Light in the Attic enough, they do good work. While not my favorite of the pile, it's some damn fine bedroom soul. |

Alternative Punk/Rock | Released: 2000 | Ratings: 4
I was originally going to listen to their Rush 2112 EP, but I couldn't find it. So here's this instead: a 23-track comedy rock masterpiece. If you're a fan of 80s-90s punk and alt rock, this should be on your "to listen" list. Don't expect a lot of nuance in the lyrics though. |

Both this entry and the next are off a label called Sexy Robot. As far as I can tell, the label only released 3 EPs and a single, but they're the epitome of quality over quantity. Still, I wish there was more by AA, cause this just knocked my socks off. |

Post-Punk/Ambient | Released: 1986 | Ratings: 1
I'm not really sure I can describe this one well, but it deserves a spot on this sporadically-updated list of mine. Think of a blend of ambient and post-punk (more of the latter), but instead of being sleep-inducing, it's properly atmospheric and dark. I wouldn't've believed it either, but here it is. |

Breakcore | Released: 2000 | Ratings: 1
Let's be honest here: that is a terrible band name and album name. But it does describe their sound very well. It's real loud, kind of obnoxious, but a whole lot of fun. I'll let you know when the novelty runs out, but for now I'm enjoying this. |

Sparse, goofy post-punk with the best dual-vocals. An acquired taste probably, but I enjoyed it wholeheartedly. Even the Velvet Underground cover! Wow!
We're kind of in the homestretch with this list (almost 3 years later), so I'll probably update this more frequently until it's finally done. |

God help me, all these bands are gold. First EP is better than this, but I need more full-lengths on here.
Also, for prosperity: there was a site crash in September 2019 that wiped a lot of album art. And a lot of that album art was from stuff I've uploaded, so I'm re-uploading them right now. Just for the record, my number of Album Edits as of this writing is 5,605. Lets see how high it goes. |

Gothic Rock | Released: 1986 | Ratings: 1
Out of respect of Papa Universe, I've been tasked with continuing his "Unknown Post Punk" series.
Little preview of what's to come:
Now this is more my speed: cassette-released goth rock. While the version I listened to was the remastered digital version, I definitely can still hear the crackle and squeak hidden beneath. Should clarify that that's a good thing. Wonderfully-dualtone* gal vox, punchy drums, those angular guitars; scratches an itch only good goth rock can. And with the post-punk/new wave influences here, it's a knockout.
*meaningless descriptor I made-up, but it's surprisingly fitting |

The EP is better as a whole, but again: I need more full-lengths on here [2]
Gave a whole bunch of 5.0s and 4.5s out over the span of about an hour or two.

Confession time: I don't listen to a lot of jazz these days. Just not in phase right now, I guess? I don't really know. But whatever the case, I feel that I should rectify it, so here's this percussion-heavy jazz fusion collaboration. |

Stole this from a RYM mutual's wishlist hehehe. No one will ever know!
This is some 2000s yelping noise rock stuff. Have a soft spot in my cold, charcoal heart for stuff like this.
Totally similar to 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐓 𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐑 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄. Bet they played the same venues or something. |

So I was going through bandcamp today looking for some post-punk (as one does), and I found this small label full of noisy garage punk, Kennel Jitters Recordings. I haven't every band on their roster yet, but I'm pretty excited to do so. |

Rated this pretty low in comparison to everything else listed here, but the original intention of this list wasn't just to list all my new 5.0s and 4.5s so here's my penance... 97 entries in. This is a noisy good time. |

"Ctrl+F Ratings: 1"
Yeah, towards the end of this list, it kind of became "things I added to the site and also like" diary. Didn't want it to become that, but hey here's my penance. Drahla are a pretty cool band, and even though I don't like this as much as their EPs, I still dig it enough to put it up here. Definitely needs more ratings.
And with that, I'm done with this.
