Any Brian Eno other than Here Come the Warm Jets?

I really liked this album, but I've heard his other stuff is hard to get in to.

I have Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, Space Oddity, and Hunky Dory. Where do I go after that for Bowie?

They're both really great albums.

The first Herbie Hancock album I got was Headhunters and I think it is great.



I recently fell in love with Giant Steps by John Coltrane. What should I get next?

This has probably been asked, but where do I start with Jazz? I know this is a ridiculously broad question. I need somewhere to start - I've never even dipped my toes in the genre. My interest is to learn jazz guitar. I've read a lot that listening is a big part of learning jazz (almost as much as practicing it), so who do I listen to first?



Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Giant Steps by John Coltrane, and Kind of Blue by Miles Davis.

Beatles

I personally think their best is Revolver. Every song on it is great, from Harrison's political "Taxman" to Lennon's experimental "Tomorrow Never Knows." It is pop bliss. I'd say it is best to start with Revolver, Abbey Road, and The White Album. After that, I'd go with Sgt. Pepper, Rubber Soul, or Magical Mystery Tour. Then after you get them, go with Help! and Let It Be. Then if you care to get into their earlier stuff, get A Hard Days Night and work your way back, but personally I'm not a fan of anything before A Hard Days Night.

I've not heard Get Lonely, but I have The Sunset Tree, Heretic Pride, and Tallahassee and Sunset Tree is my favorite by far. It is a fantastic album. It has more instrumentation than a lot of Mountain Goats. There are drums, pianos, strings and stuff. The music is really emotional.

Where do I start with Neil Young? I have no idea where to start. If it means anything, I prefer folky acoustic music over electric hard rock. (The two genres it mentions on his wikipedia article)

Where do I start with Animal Collective? I'm tempted to work backwards but is there anything I should really avoid?



In my opinion, you should start with Strawberry Jam. Then go to Merriweather Post Pavilion, and after that Sung Tongs and Feels. If you find yourself loving all of them, Here Comes The Indian is worth checking out too. I'm not crazy over anything pre-dating that though.

I'd say your best bet is Crooked Rain Crooked Rain. It is easily their most accessible, and I think best record.

Electric Light Orchestra?

If you like Beatles-y rock, you have to get Out of the Blue and A New World Record. If you're more into prog-y music, I'd say get their debut.
