Can we be in a band together? You stole almost my whole list. Except for:
Death
Berkowitz Lake and Dahmer
Mr. Bungle (i would say)
John Cage
John Zorn
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Juan Blanco
Also, it's funny I always wished Miles would tell John Mclaughlin to shut the fuck up on guitar once in a while. Except Mclaughlin is even worse now than when he played with Miles.
Can't believe it took so long to mention Yes. Tales may have been my least favorite but that's relative to some really great albums. Love the drums on Relayer.
Return to Forever, Ministry, Chili Peppers, Jaco Pastorius (with and without Weather Report).
In this millennium Super Fury Animals, Sufjan Stevens, Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev all swept me off my feet.
Just listening to the Göttsching-stuff, man, these examples really sweep me off my feet, thanks so much for sharing these! (also the piano-piece and the Portsmouth Symphonic ones, likeylikey very much, brings me to mention Morton Feldmann and the early Steve Reich, they were mind-blowing to me. Also, of course: John Zorn, Arto Lindsay, Lounge Lizards, Fred Frith (step across the border/middle of the moment, anyone?) Greaat thread!!
Speaking of Fred Frith @animal, Henry Cow were the only band I ever saw get booed & bottled off-stage by a bunch of uptight hippies. Hove Town Hall around 1973, supporting either Soft Machine or Capt. Beefheart can't quite remember which. I always thought they were extraordinary. Much better live than they were able to capture themselves on record.
.
Dont know if this was ground-breaking, but that bassline could break concrete ...
.
I had to look for HC. Fred on far right of screen.
Woooah... What the heck was that Mr Thinds... Crazy record ... ;-)
@JangoMango I was 15 years old, it made a huge impression on me.
.
Call me Al by Paul Simon. Or anything from Graceland. And yes, I know there were tons of bands, esp in southern Africa doing it, but I hadn't heard any.
You could say the same for anything by Bob Marley, too
.
@thinds: now I'm jealous!, never saw them live, don't think they played Germany much back then (much less provincial nuernberg, I have to admit), and on top of it opening for cpt. beefheart.., about my greatest personal hero of all time...(I know,...should have mentioned him earlier then).
Very mean of you to post this:( ;(. ...wish I had lived right there at that time, instead of my parents bringing me up in this much too straight neighbourhood, anyways, thanks for sharing
@Simon:yeah, I have similar memories of the Plastic Ono Band Project, was quite shocking to me back then, but somehow widening the scope for me, too.
different trains is one of those examples of Steve Reich, beautiful!!, long evenings of sitting with friends, being astonished by the variations, also Drumming, or Tehillim.
Henry Cow Live
No mention yet of The Orb. Mr Patterson took ambient in 1990, adding samples and dub to dance and went off in his own entirely new direction. Who can forget the rambling brilliance of the 39 minute version of Blue Room. Here is something shorter from the first album.
.
silver apples ?
Dr john.
Whole album is pretty good tho
.
My mum had the same Fanshawe LP.
Sparks from 1974
The Passions 1980
Two examples of truly ground breaking pop seriously ahead of their time
Simon mentions ABC's 'The Look Of Love', which I think is one of the very best albums I have ever heard from the 80's! What brilliance! I remember wearing headphones and replaying sections over & over to learn the lyrics (the vinyl jacket had snippets of lyrics as part of the graphic design & that helped to learn them, but I ended up getting them pretty much spot on regardless!). As for their second outing 'Beauty Stab': more great work with a very different approach to writing & sound. I heartily recommend both! After that... meh...

I'm in contact with one of the founder members of ABC, Stephen Singleton.
Anyone interested in raw electronic music should check out their earlier incarnation Vice Versa.... As far removed from ABC as you could possibly imagine !!!!!

Yes, please. But only if we keep Mike Patton out of it (no doubt of his innovation, just... oh, you know). I once had a hair to start a John Cage cover band called The 432s and put out silent, treated cassettes. Ah, dreams.
@clocktoys thank you for that The Passions song. Never heard it, suddenly in love.
@clocktoys voice and main guitar from The Passions regrouped (for a bit?) as The Monarchs https://myspace.com/wearemonarchs/music/songs
I remember listening to some Vice Versa, but can't recall now anything about it now...
As for UK bands: XTC are probably by far the most amazing band I've ever been exposed to. It took me a while to get into their earlier stuff, but 'Black Sea' got me started & it was on with the monumental double album 'English Settlement' (with a glowing review in Rolling Stone); a number of critically up & down albums over the years (I love them all), highlighted by 'Oranges & Lemons' (damn, what a fabulous piece of work!); probably not as weird-leaning as some of what's been in this thread but I urge you to check them out if you haven't!
Domestically, Oingo Boingo do it for me. RIP... loved Steve Bartek's guitar work!
Other bands that have piqued my curiosity & delivered over the years:
Rise Robots Rise (1st album) - wow... just wow.
The Hitmen - there have been a few bands with this name, but these guys did a song called 'Bates Motel' that gets after it! I also like 'Score In Blue' & 'What Would The Neighbors Say';
Some early INXS;
Midnight Oil's '10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1';
Be Bop Deluxe/Bill Nelson;
Scatterbrain ('I'm With Stupid - He's With Me')
(More recently) The Cardigans 'First Band On The Moon': just a good album.
Forgetting some, I'm sure.
