38. Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love (1985)

The first side of Hounds of Love contains 5 incredible stand alone songs...all of them truly invoke some form of emotional response in me....some (Hounds of Love and Cloudbusting often invoke a physical response)

i don't even think this is Kate's best work....actually her follow up to this album is amazing...and listening to Hounds of Love and The Sensual World back to back is an amazing journey of maturing.....

What always amazes me is my memories of watching the video for Cloudbusting as a 9 year old and what a profound impact it had on me.....and how interesting that the person that song is about has become one of my favorite people in the history of mankind....it goes the same with DEVO's impact on me as a child....who also often included odes to Wilhelm Reich

so then we go to side two of Hounds of love....which is something completely different....haunting and beautiful and honestly somewhat full of mystery....The Ninth Wave is certainly telling a heartbreaking story.....i think she really does an amazing job of forcing the listener to interpret this story for themselves....which is proof of what an amazing artists she is.....by far And Dream of Sheep and Waking the Witch are masterpieces of Kate Bush

39. Gorilla Biscuits - Start Today (1989)

in my most humble opinion.....this album is the greatest NYC hardcore album every released.....my blood pressure rises the second i hear the horn intro to New Direction

yeah this is short, raw and fairly simple....or hardcore by numbers...but it's so fucking perfect....and as being someone who really believes that when it comes to hardcore music....lyrics take the front stage....and the lyrics on this album are spot on....from taking down white supremacists to the concept of getting older to questioning what cats and dogs are more important than other animals....

these guys take on these subjects of growing up and reflection on ego with bombastic songs....that are honestly as important to me now as they were when i fist heard them in 1991

40. Death In June - Operation Humming Bird (2000)

this is the follow up to the amazing Take Care and Control....which was the first of a few collaborations with Albin Julius of Der Blutharsch...creating a less "folk" sound and more of a martial attack

this one has a bit of a rawer production value which i actually think makes it a bit better....as it just works with the general feel of the the album

i feel this album...which is quite short creates a depressive concept of history dead and apocalyptic futures while also creating a might as well ****ing dance feeling...specifically with the sampling of Bridget Bardot's Contact in the song Flieger
