Henchman of Santa posted:Blood Mountain splits the difference better than CtS imo. I think the title track on Crack the Skye is the only one with harsh vocals and they’re Scott Kelly’s. Blood Mountain is the closest to covering all of their styles.

Thanks for the Bowie suggestions. I tried out Ziggy Stardust and although it didn't "hit the spot" for me like The Man Who Sold The world (especially after Nov. 8th of last year), the music was good. I'm finding myself beginning to get into Reggae a little bit. I never had anything against it, but I never paid much attention to it until just recently. So with this in mind, where would someone begin with Bob Marley?

Exodus is his best-known, though.

I have a soft spot for corny late Marley like Kaya, but his genuinely best records are Catch a Fire and the pre-fame Wailers ones, Soul Rebels and Soul Revolution (better known by the reissue title African Herbsman). Whether those are the best places to start I don't know, I can't really remember how I got into reggae

hexwren posted:I had a properly musical one I wanted to throw out here, but I forget what it was, but while I was at the record store yesterday, I thought of a non-musical act that I've never been able to properly get a grip on, even though you see their records in every thrift shop in the nation: Firesign Theater. Is there a record to start with with them, or is it all just hallucinogenic, punchlineless surrealism? From a few pages back, but my intro to Firesign was their 2nd album, "How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All." Having listened to most of their other releases, I'd still pick this one as a good starting point. A passing familiarity with 60s counterculture and noir detective cliches helps for this album, but isn't mandatory.

Rat Flavoured Rats posted:Where's good for Thee Oh Sees/Oh Sees? Wow, that one's tough. The band went through lot of names and lot of sounds. There's the earliest, OCS - kinda bedroom laidback recordings Dwyer did with Patrick Mullins, then The Ohsees with a full band, but still very mellow with occasional noise outburst and Thee Oh Sees - the longest running garage rock form with most of their stuff produced by Chris Woodhouse. I'd say begin with Sucks Blood for the mellow phase and The Master's Bedroom for the garage phase. Floating Coffin is a great starting point, too.

For Thee Oh Sees going to go against the grain and say a live album, like Live in San Francisco, especially if you don't know them that well. Otherwise don't disagree with the studio albums listed above.

Yeah, Thee Oh Sees is a well known band, they play lots of festivals. Goons don't really venture past aor dreck or vg sountracks. Or Ween. Speaking of obscure bands, I'd love to get a Caroliner primer.

Toe Rag posted:Any other punk/post punk band from the 70s. What do you listen to otherwise? Well, I kinda wanted to listen to more of the Damned and get recommendations on what album should come next. I really like Machine Gun Etiquette but they do have a lot of albums so I am not sure which to choose. I guess I am in a spooky punk rock mood so if you have any suggestions besides the Misfits that’s cool too!

Yeah sorry I guess I should have realized given the thread. I think the general consensus is the Damned never did anything good besides those two albums, although I am told the The Black Album is “more than half good.” I think The Song the Lord Gave Us by The Cramps fits the spooky punk vibe and is way good, if you haven’t listened to them already.

They did a straight up goth record with Phantasmagoria right? Might satisfy your spooky craving, but not sure how "punk" you would rate it. A lot of it sounds like them flirting with mid-80's alternative styles.

LargeHadron posted:How about Kurt Vile? I'm not interested in the most accessible album - gimme the good dirty stuff. Constant Hitmaker is your best bet then. It's a sorta best of his earliest (home) recordings, really hazy stuff. More similar to Ariel Pink or Gary War than his current stuff. God Is Saying This To You is the continuation of that sound. His dirtiest is definitely the 12'' EP he cut with The Violators. It's called Hunchback and is still in print iirc.

Two words: Clyde Stubblefield. The most sampled drummer. Start with James Brown's Cold Sweat. Part 2 of that track has what is possibly the earliest funk drum solo. After that check out the personnel on Parliament and Ohio Players records.

Any of the capital-G Great funk groups are going to have a killer drummer, so you can pick up Zigaboo Modeliste with the Meters, David Garibaldi with Tower of Power, Sol Amarfio with Osibisa, Ralph Johnson & Fred and Maurice White with Earth Wind and Fire, Tim Dozier and Steve Arrington with Slave, Willie Sparks on the first few Graham Central Station records, Greg Errico started with Sly and the Family Stone, but played with a whole stack of groups...really, this is just scratching the surface, not even leaving the safety of the record selection at your local store, there's always more music.

Where do I start with baroque music?

If memories of music history in college plus conversations with my father-in-law serve me right, Bach was running that Baroque game. Maybe check out his Brandenburg stuff? Also, Vivaldi's Four Seasons was definitely a thing.

The thing about classical music is that there's no definitive recording of any of the pieces, so every orchestra and conductor is going to play any given piece slightly differently. In some cases, you can find something like a consensus about the best recording, although you'll never see unanimous agreement. If you don't feel like putting in that much work, you can generally do pretty well by sticking to recordings from the major orchestras--say London, Paris, New York or Berlin--and then maybe looking at other work by people who've conducted one of those orchestras.

Bach, Handel and Vivaldi. My brother, who knows about this sort of thing, recommends Purcell and Scarlatti but I have no familiarity with them.
