Album Rank

Album Rank: Soundgarden

soundgarden-logo.png

Doing album ranks are quite fun. It allows me the chance to go back and listen to a bands entire catalog. Sometimes I’m quite surprised by how my tastes have changed and I wind up enjoying other albums more than some. Soundgarden is a band that I’ve always had internal debates with. If you were to ask me 20 years ago to rank their albums, it would be quite different than today. Below is Soundgarden’s albums ranked from the worst to the best.

From the first time I heard the song Every You Every Me in 1997, I became a fan of Placebo. Their second album Without You I’m Nothing, would be a part of my constant playlist, especially on melancholia days. Which brings me to to today, when I woke up with the song “Meds” in my head, so naturally that got me thinking I should do an album rank of Placebo.

Black Market Music:

Placebo:


Battle For The Sun:


Loud Like Love:

Sleeping With Ghosts:

 

Without You I’m Nothing:

 

Meds:

 

 

 

Album Rank: Pantera

As of late I’ve started listening to Pantera again. I needed to take a break from them for a while. Though if I had some aggression I needed to get out, I made sure that The Great Southern Trendkill (My favorite Pantera album) was near by. So with all this in mind, it’s time to rank all the Pantera albums from not the best to the best.

Reinventing The Steel:

Cowboys From Hell:

The Great Southern Trendkill:

Vulgar Display Of Power:

Far Beyond Driven:

Album Rank: Queens Of The Stone Age

I just started listening to Queens Of The Stone Age again after some time away from them. But while in my mode of listening to everything of theirs it made me think that I should do an album rank of their albums. So here we go from not the best to the best!

Lullabies To Paralyze:

Like Clockwork:

Rated R:

Queens Of The Stone Age:

Era Vulgaris:

Songs For The Deaf:

Album Rank: Incubus

Since I just saw Incubus, I’ve been on a huge kick of listening to all their albums and it got me thinking I should do an album rank of their releases. So here you go in order of not their best to best.
