Happy 50th Anniversary "Raw Power" by Iggy and the Stooges

Image
  50 years ago today, Iggy Pop and The Stooges unleashed one of the all time great albums ever made. This was punk rock before punk rock existed, a fat slab of incendiary rock n' roll that lives up to its title and then some, while also containing some tinges of dark, gothic post-punk. Truly a sonic experience unlike any other and if you've never listened to it before, now is the time to drop everything and remedy that!

D-Rock's Top 22 Albums of 2022

Image
22. PVA - BLUSH This is such a unique and infectious sound that I can't help listening to it over and over. Part EDM, part EBM, part industrial, part synth punk, and so much more. I can see how some people might be turned off by the vocals and I would definitely love more variety in the vocal performance but I think it lends a very cool aesthetic to the whole thing that you wouldn't necessarily get from a more dynamic vocal, which I think sets it apart. More than that, it's danceable and catchy but dark and abrasive and blends it all together beautifully. 21. Quadeca - I Didn't Mean to Haunt You This one didn't really hit me right away but I kept thinking about it and wanting to replay it and really process everything that was going on and once I did I couldn't deny it a spot on my list. Art pop is such a challenging genre to do well because it's so easy to be derivative but it's also so easy to go WAY too far outside the box and the line between the two
