No Such Music

This post marks the resurrection of TOP FIVE. I have to admit that lately I've been out of ideas for TOP FIVE but for a few days now I've been reading Kraftwerk's biography Publikation written by David Buckley which made me revisit Kraftwerk's discography. It is an amazing book that I highly recommend to not only Kraftwerk's fans but music fans in general. It's in the book that somebody once said that Kraftwerk is the most influential band of all time and I've got say that I totally agree with that, just listen to electronic, electro pop, industrial or even pop music from the '80s to nowadays and you'll hear Kraftwerk's influence in all of them. These German gentlemen were way ahead of their time. Anyway, here's the TOP FIVE of Kraftwerk's groundbreaking discography. 5) Radio-Aktivität Release Date: 1975 4) Autobahn Release Date: 1974 3) Computerwelt Release Date: 1981 2) Die Mensch-Maschine ...

The new Priest's album got me thinking how awesome and influential they were/are. Judas Priest have a really long and diverse discography, some low points but other really high points, that helped Heavy Metal evolution. This is probably the most difficult Top Five so far, but that's where the fun is. 5) Stained Class Release Date: April, 1978 4) Killing Machine/Hell Bent for Leather Release Date: March, 1979 3) Screaming for Vengeance Release Date: 1982 2) Painkiller Release Date: August, 1990 1) British Steel Release Date: 1980
