Description
This is the album to start with if you're looking to cash in your PJ Harvey V-card. Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea is really just one story - an iconoclastic musician letting loose and enjoying her life. Then again, PJ Harvey says that most of her songs are not autobiographical, so who knows what.
Seems like by 1970 Steppenwolf were already becoming a two-hit relic of the cultural past. Nonsense. Steppenwolf 7, which is technically their fifth album, is a furious nine-track assault that sounds like cocaine psychosis set to boogie rock. Love it.

A neck-to-nuts banger of a synth album found in a genre mostly celebrated via individual songs and videos rather than LPs. Upstairs at Eric's contains by my count three 'oh yeah I know that song' songs that are probably recognizable to the greater American public.
