In addition to the albums already listed for Charles Mingus, check out Money Jungle which has Duke Ellington on piano and Max Roach on drums. For Thelonious Monk, some of the big ones that haven't been mentioned yet are Genius of Modern Music Vol. 1 and 2, Brilliant Corners, and Monk's Dream. owl_pellet fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Mar 29, 2024 |

Long shot, but I got asked to go see Rickie Lee Jones with someone. I have not even a slight knowledge of her work.

I'm an American who never really got into Oasis despite being in the age for it. Is there a really good full concert (~45 minutes or more) available on YouTube I could check out? Good in terms of sound quality and band performance.

Good in terms of sound quality and band performance. The most famous would probably be the concert they did at Knebworth House in 1996. Day 1 https://youtu.be/yMZQP-axmVc?si=GU-xm-kL_hqrIpDW Day 2 https://youtu.be/SDLOdzgjYvI?si=aZHMJaBSiAB01ARW Not sure about YT sound quality though they did release an album of the concert too if that helps.

Related to the Peter Gabriel thread that showed up a couple days ago, I've been feeling the urge to get into Gabriel-era Genesis lately; only exposure I've had was giving Lamb Lies Down on Broadway a listen or two way back in college. Not opposed to listening to Collins-era Genesis either, but my prog sensibilities have me erring towards the early years.

A Trick of the Tail is Collins era but still doing the Gabriel sound fyi.

Not opposed to listening to Collins-era Genesis either, but my prog sensibilities have me erring towards the early years. Check out Genesis Live. The original 5 tracks are amazing and far better than their respective album versions. Make sure you get the remastered version, as it greatly improves the sound and mix compared to the original release, and includes some bonus tracks from the Lamb tour. Keep in mind, all the Phil albums still have plenty of great prog shenanigans in there, particularly the 70s stuff, it’s just they get overshadowed in the 80s by the pop singles. To quote myself the last time someone asked about Genesis: fartknocker posted:If you like Invisible Touch, start with the three albums that precede it, which are Duke, Abacab, and the self titled Genesis. Not to go fully Patrick Bateman, but Duke is the point where they're getting more into the synthy-pop sound they'll use through the 80s, but all the albums have a ton of great/more proggy stuff still on them. Duke has the whole Duke suite and Misunderstanding, Abacab has the title track, Keep it Dark, Dodo/Lurker, and all of side 1 of Genesis. After Invisible Touch is We Can't Dance, which I think gets a bit too ballad-y or adult contemporary at points, but does still have some really good stuff (No Son of Mine and Jesus He Know Me being personal favorites).

Wind & Wuthering benefits from swapping out the dreadful yacht wannabe "Your Own Special Way" for the very Yes-inspired "Inside & Out".

Tonight, Tonight, Tonight 4. Land Of Confusion 5. In Too Deep 6. I'd Rather Be You 7. Domino 8. Feeding The Fire 9. Throwing It All Away 10.

Hearts On Fire 6. Dreaming While You Sleep 7. Tell Me Why 8. On The Shoreline 9. Way Of The World 10. Living Forever 11. Hold On My Heart 12. Fading Lights Though I'll admit I made myself a remaster of this to sound more like Invisible Touch and less like a CVS PA system.

Nursery Cryme has some variation from comedy (Harold the Barrel) to comedy-prog (Return of the Giant Hogweed) to gentle little ditties (Harlequin) and prog-rear end prog (Musical Box).

I’ve recently stumbled onto Sonic Youth’s Bull in the Heather and can’t get enough. Sadly the other thing I found was a Carpenters tribute thing which I can appreciate but is not my vibe - I’m really after that Pixies-type jank. What’s some good Sonic Youth stuff to pick up?

The five albums from EVOL to Dirty are what you're looking for. Daydream Nation specifically if you want what is widely considered their peak first.

Three best SY albums: 80s: Sister 90s: Washing Machine 00s: Murray Street The above is a huge oversimplification of course, they had lots of self-released noise/improv albums, various collaborations and some other weirdness (like that Ciccione Youth album). Daydream Nation is often quoted as their masterpiece double LP that was all the rage back then (see Minutemen and Husker Du doing double albums around that time) but it's very uneven and too long. The opener, Teen Age Riot, is their trademark song though.

John Spencer Blues Explosion? I'm pretty familiar with blues, mostly Memphis/Hill Country/Delta blues. I tend to prefer more stripped down stuff with less bombastic solos. I.e., RL Burnside rather than SRV. I do like southern rock n roll stuff like Dixie Witch, Supagroup, Supersuckers (yeah they're not actually from the south but the sound is kind of there).

Seconding Orange but also try Crypt-Style!, it's way more garage and it was recorded by Steve Albini. It may be their best album. And if you do like that one then be sure to check out Spencer's previous band, Pussy Galore (which also featured Julie Cafritz, later of Free Kitten). Dial M For Motherfucker is a classic. Their debut album was a cassette where they covered the entirety of Exile On Main St. It's glorious noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58IDj9a6szM

Lord Zedd-Repulsa posted:Rush. I love what I've heard on the radio but don't trust Spotify to tell me anything beyond what's been popular. Peak era Rush is the run from 2112 through Signals. That's where they really started nailing both the progressive side of their sound (title tracks of 2112 and Hemispheres; Xanadu) and the radio friendly rock side (Tom Sawyer, Limelight, Freewill, Spirit of Radio, Subdivisions are all from this era). The later 80s material is really synthy and kind of dated but cool if you're into that kind of thing. The debut is when they were still trying to be Cream or Led Zeppelin. Fly by Night and Caress of Steel are them figuring it out. They closed their career with some bangers too, albeit with terrible production choices. tl;dr Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves are optimal, but you can't go wrong with anything from that 1976-82.

Lord Zedd-Repulsa posted:Rush. I love what I've heard on the radio but don't trust Spotify to tell me anything beyond what's been popular. Thirding to start with Moving Pictures from 1981, which is regarded as their best album and has the one song your most likely to know in Tom Sawyer. That album is also a transition point for the band, so where to go after that depends on what you want to hear. If you want the more progressive stuff, with the side long and more complex stuff, go to their older material, particularly 2112, A Farewell to Kings, and Hemispheres. If you want more of their shorter stuff, that really starts with the album just before Moving Pictures, 1980's Permanent Waves, and then continues from there with Signals (My personal favorite album) and Grace Under Pressure, which is also where they get more and more into synthesizers. If you like live stuff, check out All The World's a Stage for their mid-70s sound, Exit... Stage Left for bits from their 1980 and 1981 tours, A Show of Hands for their mid-late 80s sounds, and Live in YYZ 1981 that was included as part of the 40th anniversary edition of Moving Pictures, all of which are great for the band during their peak years. hexwren did an effort post on their various eras years ago, which is a solid summary of things: hexwren posted:This effortpost is incredibly unnecessary. I'll just add to that for Vapor Trails, if you are interested in that, look up Vapor Trails Remixed that was released in 2013. The original mix of the album is insanely overdriven and will likely be louder than anything else you listen to, and while it works for some songs, Remixed brought it much more into line with their normal sound over the 90s and 00s and improved the majority of the album.

"oh, ten new posts in the start-with thread, wonder what they're talking about today?" "oh, rush, i can definitely add something about them!" "oh, i already did."  yeah, i mostly stand by what i wrote, though if i sound disparaging about any particular record, i didn't mean to be. there's not a record they did that doesn't make me smile. in related news, a couple of unreleased demos from my favorite headache hit recently, and they're pretty good. like, you can see how they didn't make the record, but i still do really like that record. i hope there's a follow-up eventually. oh, also, the complete version of the concert that was the third disc of different stages came out a few years back as bonus material on the anniversary edition of a farewell to kings. there's some weird edits on the different stages version and a few fewer songs, this one's aces. hexwren fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Jul 11, 2024 |
