For μ-Ziq you should look at Lunatic Harness, Bluff Limbo, and In Pine Effect, which is my personal favorite.

Since my RJD2 request was a bust, anyone know anything about Cyndi Lauper albums outside of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"? "Time After Time" and "True Colors" are nice, if overplayed. Her Lennon tribute stuff ("Working Class Hero", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Hey Bulldog") I found on YouTube was pretty classy and she's always had a great singing voice.

the Bunt posted:Number 12 Looks Like You's "Worse Than Alone" is one of the best goddamn albums I've heard in a long time. I've tried to listen to older individual songs by them, and I haven't been impressed. What's the next album I should get? From what I have heard, Mongrel would probably be the next logical step.

het posted:Grab his first two full-lengths Deadringer and Since We Last Spoke. Honestly I never thought of him as having a particularly intimidating catalogue His wiki page has something like 20 albums of solo, mix and collaboration material plus his EP's and instrumentals. But "start at the beginning" works for me. Thanks.

My two favorite projects of his are Dead Ringer and Your Face or Your Kneecaps, there are certainly good songs scattered throughout the rest of his discography but those two projects are the most consistent.

Eight Is Legend posted:From what I have heard, Mongrel would probably be the next logical step. I'd just go chronologically with these guys, basically. Start with Put on Your Rosy Red Glasses, skip over everything on An Inch of Gold for an Inch of Time except for the amazing "My Sharona" cover (everything else on it is just lesser re-recordings of songs on their first two albums), and then Nuclear, Sad, Nuclear. I'm honestly not huge into Mongrel or Worse Than Alone, but those first two albums are loving great.

Kind of a long shot, but does anyone know where to start with reggaeton? I really like the sound when I'm out dancing, but I'm wondering if there are any specific artists I could pick up.

I've listened to a dozen or so songs by Nick Cave in various bands and I really dig his voice, especially when he does more blues-based songs. I want to start delving into his catalog so where would be the best place for me to start? and I love his cover of John the Regulator - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPmacnYVb6A&feature=related

Start at the beginning and go crazy. (Or, grab From Her to Eternity, Let Love In, and The Boatman's Call. Then fill in after you've decided Nick Cave is awesome.)

Z.S. Ghost posted:Where do I start with The Hold Steady? Any of those first three albums are a solid and worthy starting point. Personally, I enjoy Separation Sunday, but if you want the full effect in terms of some reoccurring characters or ideas then you might as well start with Almost Killed Me and work your way forward.

Those two, along with the somewhat lesser A Blessing and a Curse featured the group's best lineup, with third guitarist/singer/songwriter Jason Isbell joining the core of Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley. Isbell divorced bassist/backup vocalist Shonna Tucker and left the group after Blessing.

You're exactly right, but I still think Southern Rock Opera is flat-out one of the best RAWK records of the last twenty years and it's a drat crime that album isn't as commonplace as Nevermind.

I've always had some what of an interest in experimental rock, but have no clue where to go. I've read that Fear Before is some what of an experimental rock band, but where to start and where to go from there.

Ludwig van Beethoven. There seems to be a lot of versions and orchestras. Are there any recordings that just eclipse the rest?

Furtwängler and Klemperer, but I guess if you haven't heard the syms at all you'd probably want a slightly higher-fidelity set first. Böhm's DG set is real good, in that case

I'm looking for some advice on Neil Young. I like Neil Young, but I don't know him well enough to know his different periods/styles/etc more than just that I've heard them over the years. I own Harvest and After the Gold Rush, love both albums. However, besides those first four albums, where are other places to start, especially for something a little different than those early albums? It might not be helpful, but I read a review once for Sonic Youth's Murray Street as being the album that showed Sonic Youth paying tribute to Neil Young. That would be an album or period of Neil Young that I would love to discover.

Voodoofly posted:I'm looking for some advice on Neil Young. I like Neil Young, but I don't know him well enough to know his different periods/styles/etc more than just that I've heard them over the years. The first steps would be Rust Never Sleeps and Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, they're both a little but not too different from Harvest and After the Gold Rush. Everybody Knows This is Nowhere features some of his tightest straightforward rock songs like the title track and "Cinnamon Girl" as well as some of his jammier stuff, like "Down by the River" and "Cowgirl in the Sand". Rust Never Sleeps contains excellent songs on both the acoustic and electric side, the latter of which delves into some stuff that could be described as proto-grunge. But ultimately I think his best, if less accessible, are the three works following Harvest: the never officially released but obtainable live album Time Fades Away, On the Beach and Tonight's the Night. Young sounds like he's actively trying to shake off the success he found with the relatively mellow (but excellent) country-rock of Harvest. These might take longer to grab you but I think they're the most rewarding of his extensive catalog.

Tonight's The Night, as already mentioned, is possibly Neil's greatest album. However, one of his most over looked albums is Zuma, which is from his Crazy Horse period. This album has my favorite song, Cortes the Killer, which is an almost eight minute long trip leading to Cortes coming across the water and ruining the lives of the Aztecs. Also, if you can go out and find the Archives Vol. 1. It's worth the money, mainly because it's spanning the first few years of his career and you get some recordings that haven't been released the the general public. EDIT: I've been listening heavily to Surf Blood for the past few months, however I am having a hard time finding something that sounds similar to them. Does anyone know of anyone who sounds close to them or at least fits that same indie/surf rock sound? screenwritersblues fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Oct 28, 2010 |

And I just want to pipe in and say that if you like new wave music or anything of the sort, you could also try "Trans." I mean when I was looking into Neil Young I went "Harvest," then "After The Gold Rush," then "Trans..." I regret nothing and the song "Sample and Hold" rules...
