Jacob Mucks Top 10 Favourite Albums Part 1

Life Is Odd - Y'all Stay Away Now, Ya Hear (1957)
Never Odd Or Even - No X In Nixon (1973
Supercomputer - Fatal Fractal Void (1965)
Dweebs - Laika The Space Dog (1983)
Washington DC's Dweebs were the ultimate college band, adored on campus and a critical favourite. Laika The Space Dog used the titular mutt as a symbol of the lost innocence of the Cold War.

1. To Space, Dear Laika
2. Bark Away Boy or How The Cold War Came To Pass
3. The Paranoid Style in American Politics
4. Space Race Blues
5. Apollo And Zeus
6. A Configuration Of Sorts
7. Floating In A Tin Can
8. Laika Dies
Humanoid - Thought Transmission (1978)
Officially the heaviest album ever made, Thought Transmission is a masterpiece of riffage and screaming. Lead singer Bill Charbert and lead guitarist Sunn "Thunder" Moon spent 6 months in a disused warehouse crafting the album, eating stray rats and drinking piss to "get down to the dregs, man, really see what it's like down there in the filth, man" according to Moon. Muck described the album thus: "It's a vision, man, there's some visionary shit in that bodacious songset, it's just wild fucking gravity, man, with primo heaviosity".

1. Suck My Gland, Faggot
2. World Of Vomit
3. Trapped In The Clown Forest
4. Lemme See Them Tits, Maw
5. Maximum Heaviosity Forever
6. Rock (Featuring Roll)
7. Duh Nuh Nuh Nuh, Duh Nuh Duh Duh Nuh Nuh
8. Pisschild
9. Get An Abortion, Bitch
10. C.U.N.T.
11. Sweet Way Of Love


Muck was asked in 1997 by Spin Magazine to list his 10 all-time favourite albums.
