@@MoralMajority you had me until kid A. However, given how long it took me to get the bends and ok computer there remains hope that this could change. Even if I end up merely liking it, it would make it in, given how terrific then other two are.
@@pockenrop5837 It wasn't until I heard them play Kid A live that it really clicked for me, and I am a self titled Radiohead fanboy, but I now like Kid A just as much as OK Computer and think its a far, far better album than The Bends, but out of all their albums I would say Kid A is the one that needs to be listened to in full. They released a live mini-album of 8 Kid A tracks titled "I Might Be Wrong - Live Recordings" listening to this and seeing them live cemented Kid A for me, I would recommend giving that a listen if you want an entry point for Kid A.
Good list. Stevie Wonder had a great five album run: Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness' First Finale and Songs in the Key of Life.
Prince- 1999 Purple Rain Around the World In A Day Parade Sign O The Times Lovesexy Epic 6 album run and none really sound similar to each other, so many styles. Unique.
A good video and an interesting topic. Agree with your 1 & 2. I've been thinking of some additions (but made me realise how many debut albums I am drawn too). I'd include: Neil Young: Everybody Knows This is Nowhere; After The Gold Rush; Harvest. Paul Weller: Wild Wood; Stanley Road; Heavy Soul. Tame Impala: Lonerism; Currents; The Slow Rush. Michael Kiwanuka: Home Again; Love & Hate; Kiwanuka. Richard Hawley: Coles Corner; Lady's Bridge, Truelove's Gutter. Nick Drake: Five Leaves Left; Bryter Layter; Pink Moon.
@@staggerlee6794 I honestly have never "got" the rolling stones. I've tried - I really have. Aftermath, Beggars banquet, let it bleed, sticky fingers and exile have all made their way to my eardrums over the years but never engaged me.
How do you not have Rush? Caress of Steel, 2112, A farewell to Kings, and Hemispheres are the absolute hieght of concept albums, and then you got Permenant Waves, Movings Pictures and Signls. Admittedly they had ten straight bangers off the bat for albums.
@@WhatTheHellRecords How novelty acts have 24 Gold, 14 Platinum and 3 multi platnum Records? How many novelty acts are cited as the primary inspiration for an entire generation of Drummers and Bassists? No, if anything is niche you would have to start with Elvis Costello, who is on the list OP put out. Hell even David Bowie is more niche than they are.
The Jam: All Mod Cons, Setting Sons, Sound Affects
The Sundays only released three albums and left behind a perfect discography.
Radiohead: The Bends, Ok Computer, Kid A

@@pockenrop5837How to Disappear Completely is my favourite Radiohead song and great entry point

Prince-
1999
Purple Rain
Around the World In A Day
Parade
Sign O The Times
Lovesexy

Absolutely on the Neil Young and Paul Weller.
All 3 of The Smiles albums released so far are killer.
Dire Straits, Making Movies, Love Over Gold, and then Brothers in Arms.
@@stephenrobinson1648 this was literally #21 on my long list.
no radiohead kinda crazy:(
I did think that as well but then again Radiohead especially post 'OK Computer' are pretty much an acquired taste.
ZZ Top -Deguello / El Loco / Eliminator
Talk Talk, Steely Dan, Kate Bush, Talking Heads, The Clash, Stevie Wonder, Nick Drake?
Video starts at 1:00 in.
😆No Rolling Stones. OK.

Bit of a novelty act arent they.
