It's a trend! Somehow, I put the least amount of effort possible in a video and it just broke 3K views in the span of a few days!!! I did take a lot of inspiration from (I stole) your idea, so thank you for posting the video that got randomly recommended to me in the first place!
I listen to a lot of obscure music, more so than current music these days. That's probably why - but other people have used "Devil's Haircut" it seems!
Sorry! But I genuinely like the hyperpop stuff, and the weird phasey effects at the beginning of "745 sticky" just really set the tone for that album. Have you heard of quququinny or Vivienne Rae or vai5000? They're all great friends of mine.
@@charlesmichael190 i dont think i have? and no need to be sorry i also agree it sounds good!! its just that the list was filled with like 80-90s kinda stuff and then its 100 gecs,, contrasts a lot but hey i fw it!!
Yes. I don't listen to a lot of new music, but I keep discovering stuff from the '50s-2000s every day. Everything is "new" music to me. Hope all is well!
Criminally underrated. I know their music got used in a couple movies and TV shows in 2007 and 08, and they gained traction in that period, but their self titled album and Strike Gently need to be critically reassessed. Donald Cumming is up there in terms of great melody makers, but unfortunately his work gets severely overlooked.
I have a playlist dedicated to the first tracks of studio albums (not counting compilations) as I believe they gave a hard first impression of an artist, even though there's more to them than the opening second or song. But some of these that I recognized the artists, even without knowing the songs, I can tell was emblematic of their style. Great choices, maybe up for a part 2? ;)
Please send that playlist to me when you can! I'd love to get into that. I firmly agree - a first track of a first side is indelibly your first impression of the album and of the artist/group. There's a lot more, but hearing those first notes for the first time is quite magical sometimes. I don't know if I'll make a part 2 - lots of people have already made plenty of videos that included just about every album I didn't include, and I want there to be other things on my TH-cam channel. It took enough time for me to think about my favorite side-1-track-1s for this video alone! But again, I'd love to see what you've got in your playlist. Maybe it'll give me inspiration!
I like the way the first line sets the tone for the whole album. And right off the bat, Green Day are not going to delay the pop punk riffs. What a great opener "Burnout" is.
Vacant World by The Jacks is an absolutely goated album that im really surprised would be mentioned in a video like this. My vinyl copy is the prized jewel of my library and no one but me seems to know or care about it. Please go listen to it!!
You are amazing for that. Vacant World is such an obscure gem that I'm absolutely glad I found when I was listening to a lot of Japanese music in late 2020 (when I was also listening to a lot of KPM library albums!) I love the drum rolls on the beginning of "Marianne", and that's such a standout track, so I had to put it in! In Japan in the late '60s, there was a growing music genre called "Group Sounds" (some sources attribute its development to The Beatles' arrival in Tokyo in July 1966 - 58 years ago now) and The Jacks were one of many of those kinds of groups -- there was also The Spiders, The Tigers, The Jaguars, Zoo Nee Voo, Adams, The Mops, The Golden Cups, The Wild Ones, Jackey Yoshikawa and his Blue Comets... Please go listen to all of them! There's a great TH-cam channel called GSiloveyou which i'll link below. It's an absolute gold mine for this amazing genre of music that, perhaps due to the language barrier, gets overlooked a lot of the time. www.youtube.com/@GSiloveyou2017/videos
All of them, really! The list of all 25 albums featured in this video is in the description. I think The Donkeys need more attention, though. Born With Stripes is sooooo good.
JOHN HENRY!!!! I always associate "Subliminal" with the live performance of it at the very start of the Gigantic film - it not only kicks off the album it's from, but it also kicks off that great film. Plus, it kind of makes sense from a musical standpoint. The instruments kick in one at a time, starting with the accordion (which lets you know that TMBG haven't changed their musical sensibilities), and then the drums (letting you know that TMBG have a backing band now) - and then the bass and guitars kick in. And what a first impression on the lyrical front - "as I got hit by a car, there was a message for me". Classic Linnell.
@@charlesmichael190 i never thought about it musically like that! i saw them last month and the first half of the show was mostly john henry songs. they kicked off the show with subliminal. it was awesome. hearing songs like meet james ensor and dirt bike live was incredible.
@@joelowry1323 That's very cool! I still have yet to see TMBG live, but I've listened to years' worth of concerts, and I know they always put on a great show. I'd love to see them myself.
Well, technically it's the drum break from "When The Levee Breaks" plus some turntable scratching and a hi hat. I like when a drum break or a drum solo kicks off the whole album, I guess. And for the Beastie Boys one, for me it sets the tone - there are so many breakbeats and samples in Licensed To Ill. Paul's Boutique is my real favorite out of the Beastie Boys' albums, but that album's opener, "To All The Girls", has a really slow fade-up of that Idris Muhammad sample. It's nice and interesting in a dynamic sense, but that instant gratification when you put on "Rhymin' & Stealin'" is why Licensed To Ill made this video. Not that a slow fade-up isn't nice (I even included Counting Crows' August And Everything After for its slow introduction - and as I said, I think "To All The Girls" is interesting in a dynamic sense). Check Your Head's first track is "Jimmy James", which starts with a Cheap Trick sample: "This next one is the first song on our new album!" and then the drums and bass kick in. That one I would have definitely included for how meta it is, but I limited myself to only one song per artist. Ill Communication, "Sure Shot" - that one is just a great song. The way it opens, with the dog barking and then the flute sample, is also a great opener. Now that I think about it, every Beastie Boys album opens in a really interesting way. Sorry I couldn't put them all in!

A trend, eh?
(I had Weezer's red album and Odelay on my original list too!)

How poetic that this vid starts with the beatles/mamas and the papas and ends with 100 gecs
Well, I did structure this video chronologically...
@@charlesmichael190 No it isn’t a jab at your taste I just thought it was funny
All good!
Awesome
it makes me so happy to see more people with wild music taste
I'm glad about that!
You have quite the taste good sir 🫵🏻😎
Why thank you!
These are really great albums! I would have also added Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum by Tally Hall too
Quite the diverse taste in music.
The transition from Jackson 5 to Beastie Boys made me laugh out loud.
Glad you enjoyed that juxtaposition!
Including John Henry immediately makes this the best video of this trend.
Oh, why thank you!
JOHN HENRY YO IS BUSSIN RIGHT NOW 🐚🔚🏟️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great list! I’m mentally adding Loveless
Oh, sorry I missed that one! "Only Shallow" is such a powerful opener.
bam bam bam bam VROOOOOOOOM RREEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Interesting picks. I can tell you didn't want to be too obvious
I listen to a lot of obscure music, more so than current music these days. That's probably why - but other people have used "Devil's Haircut" it seems!
the 1000 gecs caught me offguard 😭

emergency on planet earth, starting with a didgeridoo intro is so epic!
I love some Jamiroquai.
this guy likes drums
I love drums. What a way to kick your album off!
Damn, THE VIRGINS!
Criminally underrated.

Finally somebody with classic albums included in their video.
Well, those other videos brought some cool newer albums to my attention! I like music from all eras.
I have a playlist dedicated to the first tracks of studio albums (not counting compilations) as I believe they gave a hard first impression of an artist, even though there's more to them than the opening second or song.

the last one lol
One of these things is not like the others!
Where You Been by Dinosaur Jr starts with a bang
You're right, it does! "Out There" is such a great opener, with those crunchy guitars...
Somehow knew instantly that Dookie was gonna be on the list.
I like the way the first line sets the tone for the whole album. And right off the bat, Green Day are not going to delay the pop punk riffs. What a great opener "Burnout" is.
I DECLARE I DON'T CARE NO MORE 🗣🔥🔥🗣🔥🔥🗣🔥🔥❗❗
Yes! That LINE sets the tone of the album!
hi joey

“Exp” from The Jimi Hendrix Experience album “Axis: Bold As Love” deserves some attention
I love Axis: Bold As Love, and I love "EXP". I'm just noticing how many first tracks I didn't put in this video! Sorry!
Great video! I’d also add The Glow Pt. 2 on here!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Surprised abbey road isn’t in here
Again, I tried to limit myself to only one album per artist. "Come Together" is a solid opener though!
I would add Western Culture by Henry Cow. Henry Cow holds a special place in my heart.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Great video! 🔥
Thanks!
true!
Glad we're in agreement!
damn i haven’t listened to a lot of these, which would you recommend the most??
