Welcome

This is a blog I made to share some of my favorite albums, and albums I think everyone should hear. The essential albums in my opinion, all genres, any time, any place. I hope some of you enjoy these records, and share them with others. If you like what you hear, please buy the album from the band. If you are in the band and you would rather people don't check out your music just let me know and I'll take it down.

She said, "I touched the ground"

More British Shoegaze. The band is called Ride and their first full length album Nowhere is regarded as a classic just as much as My Bloody Valentine's Loveless and Slowdive's Souvlaki when it comes to shoegazer music. They were around in the early 90's and their sound was loud and noisy at times, not far off from punk rock, but they also had slower songs that sounded more like britpop acts of the time. But no matter what they always maintained melody and pop aesthetics. Members actually went on to be in the highly successful Oasis, who I might talk about another day. Until then...

Ride - "Nowhere"
