I looked through the index for that thread and didn't see it, so I guess I'll do that one if you decide to accept it. One of the immortal albums of the 60's imo

I wouldn't worry then because it seems like you already have

Trollheart, am I right in that you never took the Zappa plunge? If so, consider adding One Size Fits All to your list which is the last album by The Mothers of Invention.

Hot Rats, Overnite Sensation and Apostrophe may be more known, but as far as I can tell, One Size Fits All is the album Zappa fans tend to rank highest overall. In any case, it's a classic.

Also it's fun, relatively short and accessible (for Zappa).

That name sounds familiar. Album? But is it an acknowledged classic? (See my criteria a few posts back).

Oh I had more of the Big Zee than I could take in the History of Prog journal, believe me! I still have nightmares about Hot Rats or some damn thing.

Yeah maybe I was recommended it but didn't do it? There were, if I remember, few albums I did that with though. I'm pretty sure I took all recs, or 99% of them. Can't really see why that would be in the 1% I refused, if at all.

I know, yes, and Monster Movie. Maybe I'll just scrub it, as it looks likely I'll come across their whole goddamn discography in that thread.

Oh right! Maybe one of those things that happened during my many years hiatus.. I'll check that thread out

I like (love) big Z, but I'd concede that a good portion of his 60s music is intended to be.. divisive is the nice word and annoying is the other one. But his 70s period is gold. It's gold, ya hear!!1

Anyways, I'm sure you have a lot of listening to do so I won't burden you more

it's good and brave of you to take all this on, I must say. Good job!

Really looking forward to reading your thoughts on this one, TH. One of my favorite albums of all time with incredible production by Brian Eno.

Other suggestions: How about Joni Mitchell's Court & Spark and/or Television's Marquee Moon and/or Curtis Mayfield's Superfly?

Trollheart · 06-20-2022, 06:29 PM

Sorry hon: did Television and I'm not sure about Joni but it sounds familiar, so maybe in another thread? If it can't be found and you want me to take it, sure.
Wanna buy some crows, by the way?

Nice!

I recently bought a five pack of Echo albums. Ocean Rain is among them. From your list, I'd say that Daydream Nation is my favourite of the bunch. The movie of the same name wasn't bad either.
