this look alive to you?

ive seen worse
Jerry Lee Lewis too
man literally was convinced he was playing the devil's music so maybe they made a deal
wtf? Thought he died in the 70s

He actually super eloquent in interviews despite this. Arguably the purest essence of rock and roll ever packed into a white boy.

Ozzy probably in worse shape than Keith based purely on sentence comprehension

F*** no
had an album called Last Man Standing like 15 years ago but now he really is

yeah he just looks like s*** lol, maybe he developed a d*** intolerance and it actually gave him more years of life

Ozzy also a lot more eloquent since he kicked the pills he was on when he was making that show. When I saw a Sabbath his stage banter was actually pretty funny and audible even to me who need subtitles through all life.
I hadn't read it before thanks for linking lawdie. Doesn't surprise me that Violator in particular influenced that many people but their discog as a whole really does seem to go hand in hand with it. Their synths are as good as it gets
Yeah their particular sound in that era was a great link between post-punk's underlying synthpop energy and metal's heavier tones. The only other group that comes to mind from that time that matches that is Ministry, who were also a favorite of Metal artists then too

Absolutely. Every town/hood has a few invincible cockroaches that will outlive us all and rock and roll the same.
Sisters Of Mercy
Oh s*** you right on that
Oh s*** you right on that
They were 1% as good as Depeche tho imo
And never topped this early gem

i try and try again but it never hits like it should
Somehow Keith Richards is still alive. He must have eaten from a divine fruit or something.
he’s a living mummy basically
this might not 100% be your style but I really like A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood. Just one of my favorite books.
Also This Boy's Life, a Memoir by Tobias Wolff (Tobias Wolff taught with Raymond Carver at my alma mater. They were friends and their writing style may influence each other a bit.). Also check out his short stories, especially this one:

Over Christmas I bought my dad The Rings of Saturn by W.G. Sebald and my mom The Peregrine by J.A. Baker.
The former is a Joycean Ulysses-style German novel, blending fiction and nonfiction, dreams & reality. Really bizarre but a kind of transcendent novel.
The latter is a book I was required to read by Werner Herzog when I was going to his film school in Munich (though I ended up not going for financial reasons)... It's just about the greatest English prose ever put to paper.
Also have you ever heard of On The Beach by Nevil Shute? I've never read it but I want to and it sounds like something you might like.
imma take note of some of these broski

Lists are really hard tbh. I always feel like I’m leaving so much stuff off or I’m overrating albums I put in the top 10 because of my personal connections to them. Whatever, best not to overthink it.

Let the personal connections flow
f*** your attempt at an objective list that's boring af

I don’t believe in objectivity with this stuff but an album like Sunflower has a few duds so it’s weird putting it above plenty of other more consistent records on my list. Ram is great too but there’s more effective focused albums that could be higher than it. Both though just have these moments that are so special to me and are really ahead of their time. You can hear so much different modern indie bands and sub genres directly spawn from material coming from both. All I Wanna Do and Dear Boy respectively are like looking into the future. So good.
