Psycocandy by The Jesus and Mary Chain
One of my all time favourite albums. The debut album by the jesus and mary chain. This album is a masterpiece, beautifully crafted pop songs covered in feedback and hidden behine a couple of walls of white noise. There isn’t another album like this, its filled …

Nothing In This World by Paris Hilton

Eagles of Death Metal - Eagles Goth (song)
“Eagles Goth” is the 11th track on “Death by Sexy”. “Eagles Goth” is by far the shortest song on the entire album. What it lacks in length however, it makes up for in style.

Jay Z

Sheryl Crow Detours
Sheryl Crow’s sixth studio album, Detours, reflects globally and on Crow herself. Crow’s lyrics are maternal, religious, hopeful and at times political. Spaced between them are monotonous “oh”s and “yeah yeah yeah”s (good example in “Gasoline”). Disappointingly, this album does not show Crow’s powerful, playful vocals made her a …
Evol, 1986 Album by Sonic Youth
