I see, at least we are agreed.

What's your favorite album

DJB1975 · 08-17-2009, 05:33 PM

Any self respecting music person should own at least 5 Can albums

Monster Movies to Soon Over Babaluma is regarded as their finest period but check out Landed and Flow Motion as well

Only have Metal Box, but lo and behold it is like nothing else under the sun.

You might want to check out the album Commercial Zone.

It's Keith Levine's mixes of original recording of the 'This Is What You Want' album. which was then going to be titled 'You are entering a commercial zone'
Lydon decided to scrap the recordings & start the album again.

Levine left the band & took the mastertapes with him & put it out briefly on his own label until Lydon got an court injunction to get it withdrawn from sale.

It's an interesting listen.

I've heard the mix of This Is Not a Love Song from the Commercial Zone, which needless to say I much prefer over John Lydon's mix. Haven't heard anything else off of it though. It's an album I've been wanting to check out for years but never actually found. That said, it's probably been about a year since I last tried to look for it. I'll have a nose around a few blogs tomorrow for it.

I'll definitely be giving This Is What You Want another chance in the mean time. As I say, it's been a while since I last did.

Caught this the other week on the BBC. Short, sharp and sweet half hour interview in 3 parts. A very interesting guy for sure.

Parts 2 and 3 are in the Related videos section.

I like a lot of early P.I.L. stuff when Jah Wobble was on bass, utlimately though I've always found John Lydon to be a one note singer, he's seems to be stuck for the last in the same pitch for the last 30 years.

The most revolutionary aspect of Metal Box was it's complete lack of rock and roll influences. Metal Box was the foundation of the post-rock movement in popular music.

On Metal Box you hear an exotic fusion of dub reggae, avant garde classical music, electronic music, middle eastern music and experimental music but there isn't a trace of conventional rock and roll as played by the Sex Pistols in 1977. John Lydon really meant what Johnny Rotten said when he declared rock and roll dead with the dissolution of the Sex Pistols. Metal Box was a blueprint for the future of popular music.
