Awesome album from one of the most important bands in rock history.
Chunky riffs over Bonham grooves, can’t go wrong.
My favourite is ‘The Wanton Song’. ‘Kashmir’ is an absolute classic.

Nirvana- Nevermind
Another genre defining record. In my early 20s I worked a job with a lot of younger teens who needed to learn the ways of rock.
This was the gateway drug to indoctrination, the first one I’d make them listen to. Iconic.

QOTSA - Lullabies to Paralyze
An album of 2 halves. Despite being released in 2005, this one really has a Side A and Side B feel.
I absolutely love 'Tangled up in Plaid' an 'Everybody Knows That You Are Insane' though 'Little Sister' is the hit.

'Safari Song' and 'Highway Tune' are bona fide bangers.
