Top Five RecorRAB to Listen to While Destroying Things
 
Aww yeah.

1. Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydrophonic Garden: The epitome of rave music in my collection anyway. Repetitive, trippy psytrance with just the right dose of occasional lyrics.

2. Shpongle - Nothing Lasts... But Nothing Is Lost: This is trippier music, but not quite as good for dancing to or feel good.

3. Infected Mushroom - IM The Supervisor: Pick things up with some heavy, fast paced music with equal parts psytrance and metal.

4. Hallucinogen - Twisted: I think this might be the first psychedelic trance type release, and it is damn good. Perfect for a rave.

5. Omnimotion - Dream Wide Awake: This is more like trippy arabient music, it would be the perfect thing to shuffle in with the end of Shpongle and a few CBL tracks to end the evening.

Top 5 recorRAB to clean to
 
Love The Kleptones mash-ups, captaincaptain.




Nice list, Tyler. Wow, now I feel really old -- mine goes back to 1985 (I think I'm the oldest person here. Just for the record, here's my list:

The Smiths - Meat Is Murder
Prefab Sprout – Steve McQueen
Kate Bush – HounRAB Of Love
The Replacements - Tim
Prince – Around The World In A Day

Honorable mentions:
Velvet Underground – VU
Bob Dylan - Biograph)
 
1. Choking Victim - No GoRAB, No Managers: Energetic, upbeat, lively ska punk with a bit of a heavy metal edge to pump up the destruction a bit more.
2. Slayer - Reign in Blood: Don't really think anything neeRAB to be said here.
3. All Shall Perish - Price of Existence: Pretty heavy and brutal...
4. Devildriver - The Fury of Our Maker's Hand: Good metal, better beats, fast paced.
5. Gov't Issue - Any album, really

Top 5 recorRAB to freak out to...
 
1. The Feelies - The Good Earth: Six years after they brought a sense of urgency to the burgeoning world of post-punk, the Feelies went totally low key and created this totally unknown gem of an album. Better than Crazy Rhythms, and way more "chill."

2. John Coltrane - My Favorite Things: Oh yeah I can zone out to these modes for sure.

3. Primal Scream - Screamadelica: Way more chill than the title and band name suggests, I can put this on any time of day and be relaxed in minutes.

4. Beck - One Foot in the Grave: Such low key folk with some crazy experimental stuff interspersed there to keep your attention.

5. Scott Byrnes - Aegri Somnia: Totally unknown arabient guitar stuff. Alright, I can dig it. Helps me do homework and fall asleep.

Five Long Tracks (10+ Minutes) That Aren't Boring As Hell
 
no.1- S. F. Sorrow - The Pretty Thing of course, nuraber one. The songs are breathtaking, "Balloon Burning" comes to mind here. And you just got to read the lyrics/story, or you'll be missing a lot without it.

no.2- We're only in it for the money - The Mothers of Invention also a classic. Such a tremendous collage, joining the album through the first to the last track. Also, you've got to read the sleeve in that album too.

no.3- Sergeant Pepper's LHCB - Da Beatles it's got to be on the list somewhere. I don't think it can be the best concept album, well hardly a concept album imo. But it still has a back story to it. It's somehow the evolution of these 4 guys into their alter egos.

no.4- The Dark Third - Pure Reason Revolution I'm gonna put that one here, to put some 00's flair into this list. I also got it in the themed comp. trade, so it was the first thing I thought about when "Telling a Story" criteria was mentioned. Really nice.

no.5- L'histoire de Melody Nelson - Serge Gainsbourg the most known Gainsbourg album in the English talking world. Really nice album also, and I couldn't think of any other to complete my list. [Didn't want to put The Wall, so overrated story/album]

That was fun.

Top 5 depressing mellow songs.

Edit: Damn! I spent so much time thinking of my list jtwilliams beat me to it. I'm still pretty proud of my list.
