AC/DC - Back in Black



Allmusic Review:

RIYL:

This album holds a special place for me. It was a gateway to loving hard rock. My mom was so controlling of what music I listened to when I was a kid (she was like the mom in the waterboy and everything was the devil) but for some reason she let me get this when I was like 11. I listened to this till my ears bled and it inspired me to sign up for guitar lessons (which I quit because she wouldn't let me practice at home, so I sucked). I still love this album and will headbang to every track. 5/5

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92



Allmusic Review:

RIYL:

Brilliant. One of the first touchstones in electronica. Still sounds as amazing today as it must have in 92 (this was hard to get back in the day). Ambient music was not just sleepy chill at home music at the time, but could easily be played at the Rave. This album shows that. Brilliant stuff, hard to believe it came out in 92 and that some of it was recorded as early as 85 and all in his bedroom long before computers made it really easy. A revolutionary album on many fronts.
5 stars easy.
 
I have never listened to this. I have a pretty selective knowledge of electronic music and my only connection to Aphex Twin is that they're the band (or artist?) with the weird (but kinda awesome) videos from the late 90s. Looking forward to listening, although it might not be today due to a heavy workload.
