Devo sounds pretty boring to me, except for a few songs - Homo Jocko, Mongoloid and their cover of Satisfaction

I've never really gotten into the Swans (middle-period), until now. Damn, the majority of this album makes me want to get a boomy drum and go out into the forest and bang as hard as I can to the beat. My frustrations and anger feel like they are being cast out of my body whilst I dance madly.

I love that album. "Killing for Company" in particular has got to be one of the most gut-wrenching songs ever written.

On the opposite end of the mood spectrum, I've been getting into this:

Just beautiful. The kind of music that makes you happy to be alive. Sometimes you happen to get an album at just the right point in your life to really appreciate it.

Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets (1968)

I'm really starting to warm up to the Syd Barret era of Pink Floyd, and this album in particular. There are a lot of riffy moments on it, and the titular song does a great job of maintaining interest, despite being all over the place. It's understandable how their early material can be forgotten with such classics as Animals, The Wall, and Dark Side of the Moon, but their early material really does contend with their latter material.

I like to dig to the tune of Destroy All Nels Cline and Tom Waits's Swordfishtrombones. Two great albums.

Roger Waters wrote most of Saucerful

there's only one Syd song on it

JC Satan - Sick of Love

Decent garage rock album which takes influences from the likes of Jesus & Mary Chain, Brian Jonestown Massacre and Cowboy Junkies, and melds them into this woozy, snarling and often melancholic sound replete with variation. It isn't jaw-to-the-floor good, but if you want something instantly satisfying, the hooks offered up by this French group will not disappoint.
