doctor iono posted:This sounds silly, but I was listening to the newly remastered Within You Without You by The Beatles, and I felt a really strong desire to hear more of this stuff. John McLaughlin's Shakti is a western (jazz) take on Indian classical music, I suppose. Way way way less poppy than Within You Without You, but great.

Declan MacManus posted:Can anyone recommend me some songs like Cat's Eye/Yellow Fever (Running) by Van Der Graaf Generator? Very theatrical, melodramatic, driving songs. Violin optional. Another song that kind of fits the bill is Vivaldi by Curved Air (which just so happens to have a violin). Probably too obvious to even bother mentioning, but what about Hurricane by Bob Dylan? It hits all the points you're looking for, including violin.

moctopus posted:I'm trying to find examples of rock/metal music with I guess non traditional percussion sections. Something that isn't just the standard drum kit. Does this exist? I'll take anything from sampled beats to tabla or whatever. Sleepytime gorilla museum had a junk percussionist on at least the first record. 2nd too, I think.

Oliver Reed posted:The band Earth, Wind and Fire have a very catchy, upbeat/feel-good song everyone knows called September. It's poppy funk or disco. Try Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, the Commodores. Unless you're thinking of just music played at weddings, in which case I'd point you to The Chicken Dance, Cottoneye Joe, or The Macarena.

I don't really get people who obsess over Queen, but you seem to enjoy classic rock. Maybe you'd like, I dunno, the Rolling Stones? I like Sticky Fingers. It's a pretty good record. How about Bowie? Try Ziggy Stardust, Hunky Dory or Diamond Dogs. You sound like you might also enjoy listening to the radio. All of the songs you like and more! are played on classic rock radio.

Major Isoor posted:I think you may be right about Sticky Fingers, there! I may need to look into getting some of the Rolling Stones' songs. Same for David Bowe, for that matter. Reminds me of the semi-recent TV show 'Ashes to Ashes', which is titled after Bowe's song of the same name - which as I recall also had some good songs featuring in it, so I think I may have some more contenders there, too. So if you like the Stones (or Bowie or any of those bands you mentioned), I'd probably say just get a greatest hits package because you don't seem to have the encyclopedic rock roots that a lot of people have. Its not a bad thing, that's what compilations are made for, I guess. Personally, I'm sick to death of the Stones songs you hear on the radio and think their album cuts are a lot more interesting. So if you're listening to Sticky Fingers and find yourself getting into Sway, Moonlight Mile and Can't You Hear Me Knocking instead of Brown Sugar, you can give some full albums a go. A lot of people prefer their early material, which is great, but a little different from the Stadium Rock Stones from the late 60's and 70's. Aftermath, Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St are all great. Black and Blue is probably the last record where the good stuff outweighs the garbage, and after that it's a real mixed bag. Can't help you on Aussie radio, sorry.

KevinHeaven posted:Are you familiar with the Mahavishnu Orchestra? The guitarist from that band, John McLaughlin, played on some of Miles' late-60s, early-70s albums. And although their songs don't really approach 20 minutes, the music is pretty hard, very far from ambient. Then again, there is the occasional "fiddle song" on their albums, but most of the music is heavy on drums and electric guitar. I was thinking McLaughlin too, but more on the Shakti tip. The 90's live Shakti Revisited album might be a good choice.

Secret Agent X23 posted:I've checked out some Hancock, Head Hunters and Mwandishi. I give him an enthusiastic thumbs-up. I'll admit that up to now, my exposure to him has consisted of "Rockit," which, although way cool in its own way, I didn't find compelling enough to put forth any effort to see what else he had done. Secrets is really good too. quote:Actually, that's a better recommendation than you may realize. I've heard a couple things of his by way of in-store play at a local indie record store I used to frequent. "What's that you have playing?" "Fela Kuti." "Oh, cool." So it impressed me enough to ask about it, but when it came time to buy something and go home, something else was a higher priority. I haven't thought about him in years, and the reminder is very much welcome.

Tear for Eddie is what I was thinking too. Anyways, Maggot Brain's a pretty unique beast. In a way the jazz fusion influences are more up front even though its a balls-out guitar shredding song by a funk-fusion band. Listen to Bitches Brew, what the gently caress, right? You might like it.

Vorenus posted:I've been getting into a bit of country music lately, not a big fan of most of the country radio hits but I do like several songs by artists like Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, etc. What I'm really looking for is stuff more along the lines of Old Crow Medicine Show or Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Specifically songs like Wagon Wheel and Fishin in the Dark, and anything upbeat and violin-heavy. FWIW, I've gone through a lot of Trampled By Turtles and it's not bad but it doesn't quite grab my interest. Dave Rawlings Machine, Punch Brothers, Flying Burrito Brothers, Little Feat.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Yea I love Oscar, I'm asking about Art Tatum though. Since a lot of his recording was in the 30s and 40s, he’s kinda one of those guys like Lionel Hampton, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington (if he stopped recording in the 50s), where the bulk of their output is compilations and a lot of it was on labels that don’t exist anymore so it’s been re-compiled posthumously. Just looking through the discography though, there’s a trio album with Lionel Hampton and Buddy Rich that might be worth trying to track down. I want to hear that myself so I’ll let you know if I can find it.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Yeah, I got that recently. It's not bad but I have been so thoroughly taught culturally that "vibraphone + jazz = corny" that it's honestly hard to listen to. That's a me problem though. If you want to completely break yourself of that idea listen to Milt Jackson’s fusion-y records from the 70s. Try Sunflower. It’s Freddie Hubbard, Herbie, Billy Cobham, Ron Carter. It’s only corny if you think fusion is corny in general, and I could understand that. I don’t think milt Jackson’s playing with MJQ is corny at all, either. Lionel Hampton kinda is but it’s also foundational stuff. He was also a big touring act, much more than a recording artist.

El Gallinero Gros posted:I find I love Johnny Marr's guitar tone but I'm fairly certain that I don't want to listen the Smiths because Morrissey is a shitlord. I discovered a band called The Organ who do a great job of replicating the tone without sounding derivative. I'm familiar with Echo & the Bunnymen, Jesus & Mary Chain, and The Wedding Present (these bands were recommended by google, and I like all 3, especially the latter). The smiths are great though? Every artist you like is a bad person in some way or another.
