Anyone mind telling me where to get started with Dub Reggae in general? I've only heard a couple of tracks from the genre but I really liked what I heard, who are the 'big names' I can get started with?

Where do I start with Jay-Z? I've only really heard the odd single here and there but I like him a lot, where to first?

The Consultant posted:noise. i like Merzbow and Gerogerigegege but everything else i found (i honestly haven't looked very hard) just sounded like people messing around with sound effects rather than fully realized noise compositions. You might enjoy Glenn Branca- an influential No Wave composer who was one of the first to show the real artistic value in noise. Unfortunately good quality recordings of his work are fairly hard to come by, but to get an idea of what he's like, here's a couple of youtubes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqHz7cUw4Ls&feature=related - Solo performance in 1978 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2fVUFJf4oE&feature=related - Lesson No.1 for Electric Guitar In fact, the No Wave scene in general seems like it would be a good place to look for noise, as it was all about making atonal, chordless monstrosities Teenage Jesus & The Jerks- "Orphans" Teenage Jesus & The Jerks- "Race Mixing" Sonic Youth- "I Wanna Be Your Dog" Theoretical Girls- "Computer Dating" Mars- "Helen Forsyth" And for older stuff, definatly check out Lou Reeds "Metal Machine Music" and some early Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band stuff. Don't listen to your dad- They're great!

Wampa Stompa posted:Since you've all been so helpful so far, here are three more bands I really need to get into, all kind of in the same vein. Each has a pretty massive discography. Where should I begin? Never really listened to Sunn, but for Boris start with 'Smile' and 'Pink' which are probably their two most accessible albums, and then move on accordingly depending on whether you like their heavy or droney stuff. For The Melvins, start with Houdini and then go wherever.

Buddy Holly only released three albums whilst he was alive and had a smattering of posthumous singles so TBH unless you feel like splashing out on the whole discography you're probably best off just grabbing a decent compilation CD. I can't speak as much for Roy Orbison, but Rock n' Roll in general was a singles-based genre until the mid to late 60's, so you're probably best off doing the same with him.

I've been listening to The Plastic Ono Band a lot recently, where do I go next with Yoko Ono's solo stuff?

Yoshifan823 posted:I'm kinda starting to get into punk, and I've got some Ramones, Sex Pistols, and Clash singles, and Raw Power, but beyond that, I'm kinda clueless. That's a good start point, as you've got pretty much the four 'core' sounds of punk, each of which kinda spread off in their own direction. Which of those artists are you more leaning towards?

Ah, well in that case you should definitely dig into the UK punk scene from 1977-80 which is where pretty much all of those 90's revivalist bands stole their poo poo from (and IMO, I feel most of it is a pretty poor imitation). Pick up 'Singles Going Steady' by The Buzzcocks straight away as it's pretty much the perfect pop-punk album and predates Dookie by about 15 years. Then after that check out 'Damned Damned Damned' by The Damned, which was the first full-length punk album to be released in the UK, and The Clash's S/T debut. Also X-ray Spex's 'Germ Free Adolescents' and The Jams 'Snap!' (a greatest hits compilation, but a really good one) are fantastic albums too, and have a bit more of a ska edge as well. e: here's a few youtubes The Buzzcocks- What Do I Get? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EEPvXlTUnU The Damned- Neat Neat Neat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE-UbbTjcGY X Ray Spex- Oh Bondage, Up Yours! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AS4bBEMT44 The Jam- Town Called Malice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXTrCEXlLKY pablo gbscobar fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Jul 31, 2010 |

A Violence Gang posted:Started exploring David Bowie's catalog. Loved Hunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars; to a lesser extent The Man Who Sold the World. Didn't really care for "Heroes", Aladdin Sane or Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). The stuff I liked reminds me a lot of the best songwriting of Paul McCartney, Elton John or Ray Davies -- innovative, but that never gets in the way of crafting fantastic rock/pop melodies. Try Diamond Dogs, which was his last hurrah as Ziggy before he moved into other directions, and possibly Pin-Ups, a cover album he released at around about the same time of lesser known hits of artists that inspired him. Also worth a look is Heathen- a much later album that has him re-exploring his songwriting roots, albeit with a much darker tone.

LordPants posted:I've heard a bit of Yeezus on the radio, where do I start With Kanye West and where do I start with Grizzly Bear. Late Registration is very accessible and has a lot of Kanye's big radio singles, but My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is his most critically acclaimed work and might be a better starting point if you got into him through Yeezus. All of his albums sound pretty different though, your best bet is to listen to a bunch of his singles and track down the albums of the ones you like the most.
