OT: The Semi-Annual, Taste Optional Music Thread: Post Your Feel-Bad Hit of the Summer

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I just ordered a jag of records. Finally got Scary Monsters by Bowie, Here Come The Warm Jets by Eno (I already had Taking Tiger Mountain and Another Green World), Protean Threat by Osees, Rage's debut album (I felt like I had to add this... nostalgia), 36 Chambers by Wu Tang, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco and last but certainly not least Delta Momma Blues by Townes Van Zandt. Here's a favorite of mine off that last record:

Gotta get Before and After Science to complete the quad.

Gotta get Before and After Science to complete the quad.

Oh for sure I have my eye on that.

I need Lodger as well to complete the Berlin Trilogy from he and Bowie.

I don't like Lodger nearly as much as Low, Heroes, or Station to Station, TBH.

I'm actually completely with you on that one. Despite it's rep I honestly don't hit it up all that often.

But at this point I suppose it's a "for posterity" kinda thing.

RIP Charley. I still drunkenly butcher "Kiss An Angel Good Morning" to this day.

If anyone is interested in American roots music of whatever stripe, you owe it to yourself to track down Peter Guralnick's books. He has a great profile of Charley Pride along with all sorts of other obscure or forgotten blues, country, soul, r'n'b and rock musicians in one of his collections-- I think it's Lost Highway?

Those Eno records are fantastic. I had them all by 1985 or so. TTM is one of my favorite albums.

Lodger is the best of them so -1 on this post.

I wasn't a big Zeppelin fan (have a few of their records) but this is a good performance that I had never seen:

85 damn I thought you were younger than me based on your (excellent) taste in music! lol

I have to think TTM is probably my overall favorite of the lot. But I mean... too tough to choose just one. Changes daily.

TTM is really fun to sing along with. Great pop music.

Indeed. Belting out the "UH OH nothing there THIS time!" part in "The True Wheel" will never cease to be satisfying.

Have you heard the Ambient albums? "Music for Airports" is the best background music. Also "Apollo" is a must have.

This song has been in a million movies:

Disagree, but Lodger's still a VERY good album. It's just not my favorite of the trilogy.

I was joking. They're all good.

 

[Gurglesons]

Since we are talking Eno ambient stuff.



Gotta shout this album and Cluster in general.

There’s a nice little message board all about vinyl if you want to visit and spend even more money on records.
