The Best Albums Since 1965

Surprisingly, I resisted making any sort of "all-time" album list for a long time. I can handle ranking albums in a one year span, but it's another thing to compare albums from completely different eras. Why start at 1965? Two reasons. 1965 was the year that rock really started to mature, with Dylan, The Beatles and Stones beginning to make full albums as a complete artistic statement, rather than some singles and filler. Also, my expertise on music before that year begins dwindles significantly. Lacking access to any deep vinyl-based collections of often out-of-print pre-1965 records, my knowledge is more sketchy, though I did make an effort to list the ones I know.

The top of the list favors 60s and 70s albums. Does that mean that music in the last 24 years isn't as good? Not necessarily. Earlier in history, there were fewer bands, and certainly fewer albums being produced. The great ones that came out were extremely important and had a huge cultural impact. This hasn't happened as much since the 80s. I believe there's been more great music produced overall since the mid 90s. But it's more difficult to single out ones that are "classic" amongst all the excellent choices.. There are 153 albums that earned a perfect 10. That could be a lot or a little, depending on your perspective. Nine (or 4%) are from the 90s, zero from the 00s. Maybe it's more difficult to recognize a classic without more hindsight, but I doubt it. While there's more great music being produced than ever, there's fewer truly consistently great albums being made. Whether it's a slight rut in the creative zeitgeist, who knows. I am at the very least confident that the albums below deserve their rankings. The exact order is always debatable, and not all of them belong in your girlfriend's or parent's collections, but they're all my sweet babies.

Since October 1995, Fast 'n' Bulbous has been a one man operation, a labor of love rather than profit venture. I maintain an editorial policy of publishing mainly positive reviews, with the idea that people should be turned on to the best music. I only review what I feel like because I don't get paid for it. If you think I should review something I don't like, feel free to pay me. I will happily (or begrudgingly, depending on my mood) review crappy albums for $.50 a word. Don't think this buys you a positive review, this ain't Rolling Stone. Most likely I'll attack it like a rabid dog on a captured squirrel.

What with the fame, drugs, groupies and celebrity girlfriends, the only drawback to this site is the drain on my resources. I only receive promos for a fraction of the albums I review (email me at the address below and I'll send the address where promos can be sent). The cost of this obsession has set back my paying off student loans over a decade. And while I only review the cream of the crop, I have listened to thousand s upon thousands of albums ranging from average to vomit-inducing, so that you don't have to. While you spend your valuable time having a life, furthering your education, raising a family, making a real living, having fun, I take the bullet, sacrificing my time suffering through the pabulum to unearth the gems. Feel free to express your appreciation for this service with a donation!

Your donation will not be ungraciously declined.
