What To Do When You’re Dead by Armor for Sleep. It starts off with the first song being about this dude who kills himself after a break up, but he isn’t able to fully transition to the afterlife, so he spends the rest of the album as a ghost following his ex girlfriend around and observing her and how she’s coping with his death.

Kinda edge lordy and stuff, but honestly one of the best emo albums I’ve listened to

The Chemical Brothers have two.

Surrender - masterpiece. The entire album is about surrendering to the experience. It’s a concept around dance and rave culture. The album cover is one person lost in the music holding their arms up victoriously, and I believe playing a tambourine. Musically, it was something that had never been seen before. An electronic music group making essentially the rock music electronic ablum, and they nailed it. The Cameos from Bernard sumner, noel Gallagher, hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star, and samples by missy elliot are perfectly laid. It’s an incredible psychedelic experience.

Further - they broke from vocal collabs, used a plethora of vintage equipment, and had multiple bridges between songs to make things feel incredibly cohesive. It’s another journey album And hilariously or intentionally named after the bud that the merry pranksters drove around in frying on LSD in the 60s.

It’s just a thought question. Of course it’s not easily quantified to determine who is ‘more punk’. However, given larger parameters it’s easier to answer, like, “ Who’s more punk-rock, Taylor Swift or Black Flag”… that’s a no brainer. So, if you boil it down, in your own opinion, one can decide (in opinion) who they think is the most punk of the Punk-Rock bands… that’s all

Thanks for sharing. I was coming of age at this time in the south and the Allman Brothers were a regular backing track to all sorts of stuff. Gotta give it to Jimmy for his character, principles, and respect for other people's differences. He did stuff because it was the right thing to do and not because it was politically beneficial and made him richer.

Southern rock was seen as way less conservative than it is today. The sex, drugs, alcohol, and music were all seen as threats to society if you openly engaged. OK to do it if you went to church on Sunday to condemn those that you spent Saturday night engaging in those activities.
