the first two that popped in my head

16 Horsepower - Sackcloth 'n' Ashes

what a perfect beginning to an amazing band....this is such a strange and wonderful album....mixing amazing Americana and folk with a for of dark almost goth aesthetic.....there are as many songs about murder as there are about jesus.....and i think nobody can deny the absolute power of David Eugene's lyrics and ghostly voice....i celebrated their entire discography but none of the other albums even come close to the genius of this one....although Folklore is very close.....seriously if you have not heard this band.....get on it....they seem to be one of those rare bands that attract everybody

best track by far

Heroine Sheiks - Rape....On The Installment Plan

i always love to make the joke "this is what happens when Swans and Cows mate"....and it works......after the demise of Cows and well after Swans died this amazing band released its debut album on reptilian records.....and it was perfect....seriously not a bad track on here.....and although i love their later releases none of them come close to how good this is.....i mean any album that opens with the line "all rise! I've arrived" and ends with "today is another day...a day god made....to that i say FUCK!".....whats really great is this sounds nothing like Cows or Swans but has both feelings of said bands.....their only album that is 100% beginning to end
end.....
