OT: The Semi-irregular Music Thread | Can I Dance to It?

[Andy99]

The only thing about Ether is that Damaged Goods was the song that always brought be back.
Entertainment is one of my favorite debut albums as a whole. In my opinion one of the most influential post punk albums (even if it did come out 2 years after Pink Flag and Marquee Moon)...

On a different note, I've been listening to Wire - Chairs Missing a lot lately. What a fallow up!

There are better songs on Entertainment for sure than Ether but it’s a brilliant opening track to set out what the band is and that bass line....kinda like GTBT....great song, probably not the best on LZ 1.....Wire album a favorite of mine as well

 

[Andy99]

An honorable mention on opening tracks should go to The Cars, Good Times Roll....not my favorite on that album but very good debut song on a brilliant debut album....

I was talking about the Cars the other day. I think they are one of the more underrated bands.
They don't get enough credit.

Dumpweed from Blink 182s Enema of the State is a great opening song.

Like many late 70s bands who played into the 80s, they released some saccharine 80s pop tunes that impacted their later rep....

 

[Andy99]

Also should probably mention Blinded by the Light, debut song on Greetings from Asbury Park...became a better song by Manfred Mann but really good song on an excellent debut album....

 

[RizzleMcRib]

I would also add as honorable mentions

Heart - "Magic Man" from Dreamboat Annie
Boston - "More Than a Feeling" from Boston
Joy Division - "Disorder from Unknown Pleasures

And Phil Collins - "In the Air Tonight" from Face Value

You can never go wrong with the Association.

 

[RizzleMcRib]

Have a good day folks!

Great choice!

 

[BladeRunner66]

Great choice!

Yeah but i don't know why, this is about the only song that gets me teary, always gets to me no matter what.

*curses the Skynyrds for giving birth to one of the greatest songs ever*

Speaking of Lynyrd Skynyrd...

So you’re telling me you don’t sob like a 5-year-old when you hear this one? Please...

 

[RizzleMcRib]

This cover always gets me.

 

[BladeRunner66]

Good call, that's probably why i don't listen to the Cat anymore, too emo for me.

I did follow him for a little while after his conversion, good shit, weird but good.

 

[Shady Machine]

Minus the Bear calling it quits after their next tour. Been 17 years. I hope to see them at Mr. Smalls again this October.

I'm going to see them at the Agora in cleveland in October. Probably been 10 years since I saw them last.

 

[Brandinho]

I am happy and sad to see music from 98 being used as the example of "back in my day when music was good." On one hand, it makes me feel old, but on the other it makes me so happy to see Chumbawumba used as an example of when music was good

That video also made me realize that I don't actually have any clue what new popular music is. This is America is the only song he listed that I know.

Chumbawamba are great, it's just hilarious to me that an anarcho-punk band got so popular because of a song that was basically antithetical to everything else they've ever written. Still loved that album, though. The Good Ship Lifestyle is so utterly, oddly soothing.

They're a good band, but it's always left a sour taste in my mouth that they formed out of the ashes of Botch. Now there's a band that died far too soon.

Wait they have other songs?

 

[RizzleMcRib]

I don't care what others think. Mike Patton is a God among men. So AMAZING. They are all 100% incredible musicians.

 

[Brandinho]

They were around for 30 years before they broke up, so yeah, they have a couple.

how is that even the same band?
