Day 11: Underrated bassist
The Allman Brothers Band - Eat a Peach
Are you telling me you don't get irrationally excited when you hear the bass line of "Mountain Jam" start up? Berry Oakley was a king.

Arctic Monkeys "Whatever people say I am, That's what I'm not"
One of the most amazing debut albums for me.
The songs have an incredible drive and power, most of them are very fast. I've seen them at their early gigs in 2006 in Berlin and Salzburg and there was such a strong energy, also in the crowd. 4 songs in I was bathed in sweat haha.

slowthai - Nothing Great About Britain (Method Records, 2019 VMP R&HH pressing
I wasn't actually that excited for this release when it was announced as the R&HH ROTM, but its one that I have played most out of the series. It's super raw, energetic, political, and fast! Great stuff.

Wednesday (10) – Puberty – gosh parents, your music sucks, did you rebel? Play an album that takes you back to those teenage years.
mewithoutYou - [A-->B] Life
Never had much of a rebellious streak. The loud music I listened to as a teenager were mostly on a christian label. Three years ago I saw them tour on the 15th anniversary of this album, their first, and next year they'll be calling it quits.

Day 11 - Unappreciated Bassist
Ramones - Ramones
So, I’m playing this album for all the punk rock bassists. Thee of little renown. Especially, Matt Freeman of Rancid. The bassist that made me start paying attention to bass lines back in my teenage years. He’s insanely good and is never talked about with the Entwistles and Geddys of the world. I played a Rancid album last month, though, and didn’t want to repeat. I feel like Mike Dirnt of Green Day might be the only bassist that gets the respect he deserves in the greater fandom of music.
Now, I don’t think Dee Dee Ramone is one of the greatest ever, but I chose this album because it’s a key example of how important the bass is to Punk music. Most of the songs that make me bob my head on this album? That’s the bassline I’m nodding to. Do the guitar and bass echo each other? Sure they do, but I hear the bass when I hum the tune in my head, not the guitar.
Also, I don’t know shit about individual musicians in most bands, so I’m pulling from a pool of about 30 musician names I remember from my youth. Haha. So, there’s that.

Day 12 - Fast and short
Tierra Whack - Whack World
This album is 15 one-minute songs, for a total of, you got it, 15 min on the dot. Songs end just as they’re taking off, some cut off mid bar. Jarring for some, but years of listening to GBV have prepared me
The album fits on one side of a 10 inch, so the full album is pressed on both sides.

Thursday (11) – Hype up a bassist or keyboardist that doesn’t get enough credit
Buddy Guy - Left My Blues In San Francisco
Jack Myers
Chicago blues only works for me when there's a prominent rhythm section. Jack Myers is only on one track on this album (maybe more, credits are iffy) but he was part of Junior Wells' Chicago Blues Band.
