Hey man, just curious but how do you discover new artists to listen to or music in general ? I can tell by the list that you have great taste, but I personally find it difficult to search for artists , and I don't get any good recommendations either . Any advice ?
I compiled almost all 100 albums into a gargantuan playlist. Some of the albums weren't available on Spotify, but I added the songs that I could. 1,093 songs 75 hr 26 min Enjoy! It appears that RU-vid won't let me post Spotify links in comments? I'll try to put the link in my channels "About" section.
This is probably my favourite video of yours, I've been a fan for a few years now and all your content's been amazing but this video conveniently came out shortly after I decided to start listening to at least one full length album a day, and I've been adding all the albums here that I could find on spotify to my "albums to listen to" playlist. I've already listened to a few before, some I've never heard of and others I've been meaning to listen to for a while, and I have to say this video has exposed me to so much new music that I never even knew existed that I now love. Thanks for making and uploading this, cheers.
Thanks so much Joey, trash taste has gotten me into so many amazing artists such as Muse and Foo Fighters. Never been a music guy, but that episode got me into it.
@@kikamikami They're considered some of the most "basic" popular/mainstream elementary rock bands ever. I mean I quite like them too (mostly classics, peak fan of FF is during the color and the shape, and muse definitely origin of symmetry, but during and after simulation theory is just....ugh horrible lol) but if you're in the music community you'd kind of get laughed at if you said you "discovered" them I suppose, I'm not an elitist (I don't really care what people listen to), but the community is full of people like that so just explaining where that snarky guy who replied to you was probably coming from.
Knowing Joey. This probably like 25% of his list. 🤣🤣🤣 I’m surprised he didn’t throw any classic thrash albums on the list. BUT goddamn he out paced me with some of the those Punk albums. I’m saving them
Joey, if you are into Tool and Porcupine Tree, then you gotta try Opeth. They basically pioneered Prog Death Metal and they have a bunch of Folk and 70s Prog influences sprinkled in. I'd suggest Ghost Reveries or Blackwater Park (Steven Wilson produced it!) \m/
I’m very surprised how big of a punk fan you are. As a huge punk rock fan myself I dig all of those albums you mentioned and you have a really kick ass music taste!! 🤘🏻
join us and a small subsect of us drag unsuspecting hipsters and force them to listen to metal so i have someone to talk about extreme metal about but don't rat me out the feds cant know
I literally had to instantly watch this because Immersion and Discovery were on the thumbnail. Makes me want to expand my music collection and give some of these a try.
Knowing Joey knows his hip-hop, I thought he would have a Ye album like (My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or The Life of Pablo), a Kdot album like (To Pimp a Butterfly or good kid, m.A.A.d city) or even a Dr. Dre album like (The Chronic or 2001). But knowing Joey he can probably make a 100 more if he likes. lol
I love that you tend to choose more underrated albums as your favourites, instead of going with the trends. It's actually amazing as well that someone prioritizes Animals over Dark Side. (by the way check Highway 61 revisited and London calling. Right now. If not I will find you) (for jazz find Moanin' right now as well)
I totally agree on The Cure being more experimental earlier in their career, I also love the idea that you made a 100 album list to listen. A couple of years ago I listened to the top 500 best albums according to the Rolling Stone magazine and, although it was packed with shit to the brim, I learnt a lot and i mean A LOT about music. I will defenetely hear every album you recomended, over time, ofc. Anyway, great taste, great work.
Sweet! I have recently started to culture myself into great albums and this video will add a bit to that list xD Edit: the albums I have listened to are Buiikikaesu, Close to the Edge, Court of the Crimson King, To Be Kind, Toxicity If I had to make a 3x3 on the fly it would be: Yoshu Fukushu (MTH) ; Mint Jams (Casiopeia) ; Congratulations (MGMT) ; The Black Parade (MCR) ; The New Abnormal (Strokes) ; To Be Kind (Swans) ; Fantastic Magic (TK from LTS) ; Hypnagogia (Dan Mason) ; Carolus Rex (Sabaton) There are probably more meaningful albums to add here, but only a few stuck on me like these. Honorable metions are Nectar (Joji is killing it xD), Shibuboshi (Shibusashirazu), Tomorrow is Nearly Yesterday and Everything is Stupid (Crywank).
@@randalica92 Normally Sabaton is confort music while I play some 1st person shooter with friends, but this album in particular tells a whole ass story from the upbringing of king Charles XII of Sweden, his delusion of grandeur, the soldiers pushing through side by side and the inevitable fall of the empire. Has so much passion that I feel nationalistic for a country I've never been to even xD
Oooo Honestly I would've either picked Is This It or Room on Fire for The Strokes Edit: I fucking love MCR dude The Black Parade is such a good fucking album
@@razinahmedkhantalha936 all these pics I have listened to in my twenties forward, so I didn't have phases and I don't have nostalgic pics at all here, so this is why "Is this it" is not in a better spot like some strokes fans, I just didn't grow up with it and The new Abnormal was the random youtube recomandation that stuck so much on me that I listened their whole discgraphy and loved it xD That isn't to say Is this it is not a tight-close second, amazing album
This is my favourite video of yours, I come back to it from time to time when I feel like discovering new artists or albums! Would love to see more like this (:
you talking about SRS by Earl got me so hyped!!! that album is incredible and it adds to it when u also know the context of the songs and what Earl was going through while recording it. The jazz samples are goated too. Incredible!! But i must say at first it might not be for everyone
@@jipke7430 I think he means that not a lot of people are really into music and curious about it. A lot of people I know just listen repeatedly what they discovered in adolescence and never goes out comfort zone. I mean there are persons that seriously thinks listening to Linkin Park is not mainstream
Holy crap man, the second I heard Deafheaven, shoegaze and black metal I had to go listen to the entire album. Definitely an instant new favorite. I feel some weird deja vu, it's fantastic. I'm glad I found it through the channel, been a long time fan. You make great music yourself, love your taste.
I am impressed. I didn't expect someone your age to have this much breadth in music. Especially given the hours you put into studying Japanese. I will check some of these out for sure. Suggestion > The album Gangs by "And So I Watch You From Afar". Northern Irish post rock.
@@oceanacemafer No, I've been watching Joey for a while. Trash Taste and all that. It's just discovering music takes time. From my perspective he is a young man. And a busy man.
I’m honestly super proud of myself that I’ve listened to maybe 20% of this list. Would love to have a debate over some of the album choices (In Utero over Nevermind, etc). Just about had a heart attack when he hovered Encore tho, there’re some baaaad songs on it.
If you want to hear peak japanese music, I hugely recommend Boris - Flood & Feedbacker, FIshmans - Long season & 98.12.28 Otokotachi no Wakare, and Sheena Ringo's early albums esp. Kalk samen kuri no hana. Also be sure to check their other stuff too.
Great list; I'd add Electric Light Orchestra, Aphex Twin and Massive Attack to it and it'd retain the same energy with LOTS of new bangers to choose from.
Mad respect for putting Maximum the Hormone on your list. They are so epic, and i totally agree Buiikikaesu is such an amazing album the way they play with tone, can give you whiplash! You got a favorite? I'd have to say either Koi no Mega Lover or Kusou breaking Nou breaking Lily
I'm so happy you mentioned Lingua Ignota! Honestly such a genious musician, I hope more people will listen to her music. It's transcendental, bigger than life.. Just, what a way to express your grief and rage. Caligula is my favourite album of hers, but Sinner Get Ready is beautiful as well. Some of the things that happened to her are absolutely horrifying and I really admire her strength to cope with it all.. her music is very therapeutic and inspiring to me.
im gonna say it random access memories is better than discovery it just oozes passion and talent. Also boasts probably the best production ive personally ever heard.
A lot of good choices Joey. Lots of respect for the breadth of music diversity/history. As an old dude (54), it is nice to see the next gen picking up good habits. A couple of suggestions across eras/genres: Pantera: Cowboys from Hell, Jurassic 5 : Power in Numbers, J. S. Bach: Brandenburg Concertos, and I can't believe you didn't include Guns 'n Roses: Appetite for Destruction. Good stuff Padawan.
As someone who’s a massive music nerd (and currently attending college for music/guitar) I definitely agree that everyone should listen to The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Radiohead just because of how diverse their songs are
yellowcard8100 I might also be saying that as a huge Beatles fan but I do respect what Joey’s saying, but you still can’t deny how influential they are
I always find it funny how music snobs tend to throw shade towards the Beatles even though their favorite bands usually cite them as a huge inspiration lol.
Jean Michelle Jarre - Oxygene Mike Oldfield - Amarok Mr Bungle - California Boards of Canada - the Campfire Headphase Persefone - Spiritual Migration Etherwood - Etherwood The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation Not that i have'nt more, but it's actually difficult for me to pick favourites, since it depends on multiple factors. If Favorite means, music i come back listen to from time to time, here are 7 albums i really like.
Good to see your choices. My list would be : Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Dire Straits - eponymus Supertramp - Crime of the Century Neutral Milk Hotel - In the aeroplane over the sea Sufjan Stevens - Illinois Slint - Spiderland Gang of Four - Entertainment! The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper´s Waterboys - This is the Sea Peter Murphy - Deep King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King Roger Waters - Amused to death Marillion - Misplaced Childhood Dire Straits - Communiqué Pink Floyd - Animals XTC - Drums and wires Genesis - Selling England by the pound Supertramp - Crisis? What Crisis? Eels - Beautiful Freak Television - Marquee Moon The Chameleons - Script of the bridge The Smiths - The Queen is dead Steely Dan - Aja Keith Jarrett- Koln Concert
Wow this is a great list, kinda surprised me there with your pick, SUNBATHER You seem to be a big prog fan like myself, and it's criminal you didn't include any more Prog Metal albums. I'd HIGLY recommend you checkout OPETH, they're beyond amazing, Prog Metal band with variety of sounds. Check out their album Damnation (mellow, more fusion rock side) OR their magnum opus Blackwater Park (heavy af concept album).
@@oblivioussushi2406 YESSS he has to listen to Opeth one of the greatest bands imo. He does seem well versed in his Prog Rock, maybe doesn't listen to much of Metal other than the mainstream ones.
Ive always enjoyed music but since most of my tastes in high school came from songs used in AMV's Ive rarely ever listened to albums (or really many songs from the same band). It was only recently I've gotten into listening to albums front to back so I cant wait to go through all these and hopefully find some new stuff I like. Current top 5 in no particular order except Autophobia because it was one of my first albums I listened to front to back multiple times Autophobia by Oblio MBDTF by Kanye TPAB by Kendrick Discovery by Daft Punk American Idiot by Green Day
Bro I got some more recs for you try: Wish You Were Here By Pink Floyd Civilization By Kero Kero Bonito Plastic Beach By Gorillaz Post and Homogenic By Bjork TA1300 By Denzel Curry
@@neiren_ Same. imo Deloused and Bedlam in Goliath have the best songs to listen to independently, but I do prefer Frances and Amputechture as whole albums
You seem to be more into rock and it's multiple subgenres. I'm more into hip hop and electronic but am always down (for the most part lol) to check out new genres so thanks for this. Gunna check some of these out. Lowkey shocked to see no Kendrick Lamar here tho lol. Especially so when Flying Lotus is on this list.
Joey, I've noticed you put a bunch of punk bands, you should try listening to this one called Leftover Crack the album Mediocre Generica. It's amazing. The lyrics. The instrumentals. Complete bangers. And if you really enjoy it then the Fuck World Trade album would be a definite must to listen too. I've kinda outgrown the whole punk scene but that band shape my life.
Omg we have very similar tastes. When 10k days came out i seen them in tour and they had MELT BANANA open for them. They then proceeded to have a jam session while the singers of each band played rock paper scissors. That was actually my very first concert too.
Joey mentioning band, album and song names feels so much like that ProZD skit about anime arc titles to me. You might as well have made up 5 or 10 of them and I wouldn't notice.
I really should listen to them, I'm not knowledgeable in music myself but recently started getting into postrock with Explosions in the Sky, This Will Destroy You being the artists I have listened to the most in terms of album count. And Sigur Ros is definitely something I'm going to listen to.
The Mars Volta slaps hard bro! I'd say their music is like a melody in chaos, a storm within a clear blue sky. Cassandra Gemini is a must to listen (the song is 30+ mins)
loved this thanks for new music to check out i did get to see clowns play for a bar i worked at in melbourne they do go pretty hard love to see you to a favorite list of anime soundtracks someday
Not gonna lie I really thought Welcome To The Black Parade was gonna be on there considering a lot of the other choices, but either way DAMN what a list!!!
My top 10 albums, no particular order....varies day to day. 10: Genesis-Selling England By The Pound 9: King Crimson-Discipline 8: The Replacements-Tim 7: Pink Floyd-Meddle 6: Frost*-Milliontown 5: Echolyn-Suffocating The Bloom 4: Marillion-Seasons End 3: Iron Maiden-Number of the Beast 2: Rush-Hemispheres 1: Frank Zappa-Over-Nite Sensation
fetch is a fucking amazing album, also your takes on punk are great, also sinner get ready was my fave album last year and i was wondering if you were gonna mention Otoboke Beaver
I'm gonna work my way through some of this list because you and I kiiiiinda intersect on music tastes. Also Worlds is one of my favourite albums it's so fucking good!!!
Joey listed a lot of greats, but he definitely needs to catch up on more female artists. Kate Bush and Patti Smith are both easily the most needed for his list.
Feel the same way. Also like latin artists like Molotov or even Ana Tijoux. What about rap too, or Funk and Soul... There's some missing pieces BUT for the most part it's a good list.
I fucking love these videos man, gonna check out some of these albums (love you for putting NIN's TDS in there btw, The Fragile is an amazing album but TDS takes the cake for me too)
The Fragile is just a bit too bloated for my taste. It took an international flight for me to completely sit through the album in one setting. Nothing compares to the tightness and compositon of TDS.
@@xiuxiu1108 same for me, The Fragile was a bit too much to chew (although it's all great stuff, I'm not actually complaining about it), and TDS felt more tightly tied up together in one very vivid and coherent story with a start, middle and end. Now I just remembered a lot of people also say PHM was NIN's best album, and even though that's a great album too, I just prefer the aggressiveness of TDS way way more
Man you have some legit taste in music, many of my favourites in there. And YES Animals is super underrated, it's far superior to (much more famous) The Wall. The Wall has some bangers but enormous amounts of filler, unlike Animals, in which every song is great.
Favorite albums of mine (no particular order) Nirvana: Never Mind Nirvana: In Utero TOOL: Lateralus My Chemical Romance: I Gave You My Bullets You Gave Me Your Love My Chemical Romance: The Black Parade Alice In Chains: Dirt Alice In Chains: Self Titled The Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour System of a Down: Toxicity Deftones: White Pony Elliot Smith: Either/Or Tyler The Creator: Igor Gorillaz: Demon Days Green Day: Dookie Weezer: Blue Album
i agree with happy bivouac being the best pillows album, it’s the catchiest and most consistent, but my foot is a very strange album to me. all the way through i find it to be mid tier but then they hit you with sayonara universe and gazelle city, literally the two best songs they’ve ever made lol. its also amazing to see some surf bungaku kamakura rep, it’s my favorite album of all time and it makes me sad when people say it’s one of their least favorite akg albums
Solid choice. Bottled it a bit on not choosing Smash from The Offspring or Spiritual State from Nujabes, but I can vibe this. I'd add some bands too, but whatever. Good take.
Albums that would be missing if this was my list: Steely Dan - basically every single one, not even joking Ween - White Pepper and The Mollusk Definitely OK Computer Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory Distillers - Coral Fang Leftöver Crack - Fuck World Trade NOFX - Coaster, First Ditch Effort, Wolves in Wolves Clothing Viagra Boys - Street Worms Kendrick Lamar (???) . good kid and TPAB D'Angelo - Black Messiah Slipknot - Iowa
Steely Dan is just amazing. I also wouldnt know which one to pick. And definitely agree with Kendrick Lamar. Generally my list would have included alot more Rap
Interesting! I am a lucky lad! Growing up in Phoenix AZ in the '80's. I worked at a record store in a mall from Freshman year of high-school to the end of my first year of university! 1981 to 1986. I am 55.5 years old! So, as I am into this video for only 1 minute... I will Judge for All The Generation X (boomers get a pass...jazz, etc)......Let's get it!!!
BRAVO JOEY !! 👏 your rank is the most complete and miscellaneous list albums I ever seen. Good taste and choices: Tool, Maximum the Hormone, Nirvana, the Pillows, Daft Punk, Gorillas, System of a Down, The Beatles, in the same list... GOSH, so good !! 😃👍
Damn, Joey has sick taste in music. It's so rare to find a fellow anime/manga fan with actually good music taste. Most of them think that Linkin Park and SOAD are the pinnacle of music. Not knocking either of those groups but you need to broaden your horizons if you think those are the greatest bands of all time.
Personally, I love SOAD and Linkin Park but broooooo there is so much more music I love besides those bands (MF DOOM, Tyler, Outkast, Wu Tang, Biggie, etc)
@@sickfitz4256 both are great bands, I agree. I just don't think that they are at the most elevated of status, even in their Genre. Comparing SOAD and LP to a band like Zeppelin wouldn't make sense, different realms. But to me, the greatest band of the 2000s alt metal variety was Deftones. But yeah that's basically what I was getting at. There's a whole world of music out there from various different times to enjoy and too many gamers and otaku are stuck in a box musically.
was in this classical state where you are kinda tired of music because you repeat to hear the same music over and over and are not able to find new stuff. And you just gave me stuff for the next 10 Years. May you be blessed my sir
My favourite Album is the ”Ebba Grön 1978-1982” which is a collection album from the incredibly short lived Swedish Punk band Ebba Grön. Ebba Grön is the most influential punk band in Sweden that brought punk to the spotlight.
2:16 I saw TOOL on Monday for the first time, they were incredible. If you’re thinking about seeing them live - just do it. You won’t regret it. Also, Ten by Pearl Jam needs to be up there and aja by steely Dan 7:53 as a progrock fan, I have to like jethro tull. Takes you on a journey and loses you on the way 10:50 Thank goodness you put rush on otherwise I would have flipped tables. I don’t hate yes but rush is by far and away the best progrock band of all time. Period. 12:13 indeed a great fucking album So many math rock bands and yet not a single mention of covet
I haven’t seen Tool but just listening to their music is a fucking trip in itself, I still remember hearing Schism, Parabola and Vicarious for the first time and being absolutely blown away. Definitely some of my favourite metal songs
