Low is my favourite from him, but I'd also recommend getting Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Station to Station, Scary Monsters... the list goes on. Low is one of the greatest albums ever IMO. |
Neutral Milk Hotel "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...GL._AA240_.jpg Every few months I bust out this album and listen to it alot. This one of those times, I can't play it very consistently because when I first heard it I was totally blown away by it and listened to it every day sometimes all day without stopping. Favorite Songs: Holland 1945, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Two Headed Boy Part II, Ghost, King of Carrot Flowers Part I Linda Perhacs "Parallelograms" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...PL._AA240_.jpg An interesting blend of art-rock and freak folk, I love this album to death and keep forgetting just how much. It's a shame she didn't get more notice, definitely one of the unsung heroes of the 70s. Favorite Songs: Hey Now Who Really Cares?, Delicious Paper Mountain Man, Chimacum Rain, Morning Colors The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...aL._AA240_.jpg Jesus I love this album, it's just so happy sounding and upbeat and it's a nice break from the stuff I usually listen to. It always brings up memories of summer though which for some reason depresses me. Your Mother Should Know is probably the track I've been spinning the most off this. Favorite Songs: Your Mother Should Know, Hello Goodbye, Penny Lane, All You Need is Love, Strawberry Fields Forever The Doors "Strange Days" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...2L._AA240_.jpg I forgot how good the Doors were until I randomally felt like listening to them. I was really turned off for awhile because I couldn't stand Jim Morrison, I loved his voice and thought he wrote good lyrics when he wasn't trying too hard to be a "poet" but I thought he was a completely detestable and horrible human being and it just made me feel like not listening to them however I'm listening to them now and goddamn they're good, I really do love Jim's voice, Manzarek is amazing too. Krieger is a great guitarist too, solid band. Favorite Songs: Moonlight Drive, People Are Strange, When the Music's Over, Love Me Two Times, You're Lost Little Girl |
THE FRAMES-FITZCARRALDO
http://www.artistdirect.com/Images/S...94164t2s1m.jpg I have had a track on my hard drive which I really loved and I knew it was from a Trevor Horn compilation album, but the track had no info. After listening to the track again I decided to do some digging. I found the artist and then the album. I was so glad I did. The Frames are a great Irish band who seemed to have slipped under the radar. Their music is a sort of emotional pop/rock with a beautifully subtle violin on most of their tracks. Although it is not the most original music ever, it is utterly sincere. very impressed. MACHINE HEAD-THE BLACKENING http://www.chochitopelao.com/imagene...ne_head_02.jpg One of last years best metal albums and a great return to form from Machine Head. Unashamedly retro and staying true to their thrash roots. This has everything you want from a metal album. Chunky riffs, a bit of speed and decent production. BURNING SPEAR-MARCUS GARVEY http://www.globalphatness.com/pictur...ng%20Spear.jpg If your only taste of reggae is Bob Marley and you want to go further, then this classic 70's roots album is a great place to start. Focusing on the life of Marcus Garvey, who was a highly influential and revered Jamacian who began a movement to claim Africa back from the colonials, this is a rich and well produced reggae album that is something of a classic in the Reggae world. TANK-THIS MEANS WAR http://img.mp3sugar.com/album/cover3659_22699.jpg I was in the mood for some NWOBHM,so i listened to one of my favourites from that era. They definitely ripped off Motorhead, but ever since hearing the brilliant opening track JUST LIKE SOMETHING FROM HELL way back when, I have been hooked. Good solid British 80's metal |
K'Naan- The Dusty Foot Philosopher
I just can't get bored with this album. Original, catchy beats, witha lot of acoustic guitar and african drums. Intelligent lyrics and fluent delivery. A truly unique hip-hop album. Kaizer's Orchestra- Maestro An energetic gypsy rock album out of Norway, with influences all over the map, from funk to old timey rock n' roll. Not easily forgettable. |
DOGS D'AMOUR-STRAIGHT
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s45104.jpg Although they looked like your typical glam band. The DOGS played blues rock skewed through the Stones and the Faces. Their lyrics were more like poems and owed a lot to Charles Bukowski. A band so steeped in booze the album drips with it. MICE PARADE-OBRIGADO SAUDADE http://fat-cat.co.uk/fatcat/packshots/325/96_194.jpg Consider them a cousin to Carissas Wierd, as they walk along the same lines of downtempo indie electronica ,but with a slight experimental side to them. Haunting, soothing and beguiling. I have converted Crowquill so that should be a good indicator! TANGERINE DREAM-PHAEDRA http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/images/TD-Phae.jpg One of the finest Electronic albums from the 70's and one of TD's best releases. Dreamy, icy, hypnotic and their most cohesive work at the time. THE MISFITS-WALK AMONG US http://www.the7thhouse.com/dm138_sdwau.jpg Classic Punk from the one and only Misfits. Say no more really! |
