The Top

I think I should make this list sooner or later so here it is! My Top 4 before-the-90s Albums (I think this could be my top 4 albums of my life too)

1. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (1979)

This album is just so perfect. The content of this album is so dark and gloomy, the songs are full of dark emotions and I can feel it go straight to my heart. I honestly say that I can't really handle some of Joy Division's songs especially the ones in the album "Closer" because they're just too good to be true. By far, this is probably the most powerful music album that ever been made in the music industry. Furthermore, the album art is quite impressive too. (psst, I have a t-shirt with the imprints of the album art on it!)


2. The Cure - Disintegration (1989)

Yes yes, this is one of the finest album ever made by my favourite band of all time The Cure. Most Cure surveys I found on the net voted for Disintegration as the best Cure album. In fact, a track from Disintegration which shares the same title with the album made me fell in love with The Cure. The first moment I listen to the song I just, I feel like my heart and my soul and mind and body exploded and dissolved together with the music! Lol I really can't explain it properly with words, it sounds so weird. This is definitely a must-have album for all music lovers out there, don't miss this out!


3. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon (1973)

I don't think I should explain much about this album, everybody KNOWS how awesome it is. This album, I can safely say, it is a cheaper and safer alternative for weeds. You don't need weeds to get high, you only need Dark Side Of The Moon! No seriously, no bluffs. When I first listen to Breathe I feel so weightless and my mind feels so relaxed. Give it a listen if you want to experience it yourself (here's a hint: start with Speak To Me/Breathe)


4. Santana - Santana (1969)

Who could ever forgot this masterpiece over here? Performed by six hippie boys back in the days and it's just so perfect for me when I'm in my "hippies" mode. Yea really, sometimes I just feel like hanging out in my room with bandanna on my head listening to this album. I still remember the first time I saw their live video performing Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock and it just blew me away! I read somewhere that during the music festival Carlos Santana is too high that he thought his guitar was a snake so he have to hold it tight or the "snake" will harm him. But nevertheless, that song is the one song that ever made me feel sorry for myself that I'm not a part of the 60's. What a shame! And the artwork is awesome too, I've printed one and put it in my bedroom as a poster.
