75: Queen – The Game
Feb 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Cover of The Game (+ Bonus Track) Queen's The Game (1980) is one of those albums I wore out until you could see through the vinyl. The Game is Queen at the beginning of a change to less experimental but still incredibly strong songs. From the opening track "Play the Game" the controlled power of [...]
76: Pushmonkey – Pushmonkey

Cover of Pushmonkey The only reason you probably don't have Pushmonkey's self-titled album (1998) is because you weren't listening to WONC in Naperville, IL in 1998. They started playing "Caught My Mind" and I was hooked. I special ordered the CD from a music store in Austin, TX, the band's home base. This album is [...]

Before our culture [...]

No guitar solo contest would be complete without "Eruption" rehashed [...]

81: Static-X – Wisconsin Death Trip

Cover of Wisconsin Death Trip When I need to clean out some cobwebs and get some work done, I have some go-to albums. Static-X Wisconsin Death Trip (1999) does the trick. This is best-in-class industrial metal that makes White/Rob Zombie sound like kids banging on trash cans (which I think is how those recording sessions [...]
