11 Best Music Albums
(in alphabetical order)

Bright Eyes    Fevers and Mirrors

Simple guitar tunes and, above all, the dramatic voice of Connor Oberst. Some call him the voice of the generation. At the least, the voice of all depressive and self-obsessed souls.  

Jeff Buckley         Grace

The legend. He recorded the best guitar album ever, and then drowned in the Mississippi river. Fantastic technique combined with wonderful, tearful melodies. A cold and broken Hallelujah.    

Jack the Ripper   Ladies First

You don't know them, do you? Nobody does. I found them out in an obscure back tent of a second-rate open air festival. I fell in love immediately with  this dark tunes and crazy, depressive lyrics a-la Nick Cave.

King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King

No comments needed here. Smears me on the wall each time i listen

Legendary Pink Dots Any Day Now

Dots are a  psychodelic, gothic band who always oscillated between ingenuity and kitsch. They only made carreer in Poland, where they were a favourite band of a legendary nightime radio presenter who later comitted suicide. This album was their highest point. Utterly dark and beautiful.   

Marillion    Fugazi

I love this album not only for progressive music at its best, but also for the complex, poetic lyrics.

Oceansize    Effloresce

Another perfectly unknown band on this list. They play heavy progressive rock, somewhere between Tool and Radiohead. Incredibly complex and precise that it feels almost like mathematics.

Pink Floyd    Wish You Were Here

Pure essence of symphonic rock.

Soft Machine Third

On their way from progressive rock to jazz, Soft Machine recorded this jewel that overshadows everything else they have ever done. However illogical it may sound, I describe it as a carefully planned improvisation. And then there's the Moon in June....

Stone Roses Second Coming

How could a mediocre britpop band record such a marvel? Although Ian Brown cannot sing, the guitar of John Squire  fill it up.

Van Der Graaf Generator     Still Life

The most physical of all rock bands. Wonderfully lyrical progressive rock, the best of the 70's progressive rock. The voice of Peter Hamill - there will never be a better one.
