Good list there @monzo Nice to see the Faust Tapes on it. My father found that album in a charity shop and gave it to me. Neither he nor had ever heard of Faust, he just thought it looked like it might be interesting to me. It completely rewrote my idea of what an album of recorded music could be. Amazing.
FSOL- Lifeforms
Northern Exposure - Sasha and Digweed
What's wrong with u rock and roll dudes above???
Lol
He's great, seen him quite a few times live at Fairports Cropredy festival over the years
Thanks, yeah love that album. I'd never heard of them at the time but the album was only 49p so thought I'd give it a whirl. Bought every album since!
Funnily enough I saw the cover in an exhibition a few days ago (Tate, St Ives), it's a bit if op-art by Bridget Riley
For 10+ years I've become addicted to "shuffle" and never listen to a whole album all the way through anymore. Except for one:
Red Roses for Me - The Pogues.
It never fails. When "shuffle" pulls up any song from that album, I have to stop and play it from start to finish.
Hell of an album.
Neil Young Dreamin' Man Live '92 is perfect live album.
Thought I might drop a few slightly more obsucre additions to the list. All of them are cracking albums in my opinion:
First Night Forever - Burnt Friedman
Well Done Europe - The Chap
One - Ben Klock
Un Dia - Julia Molina
David Shrigley's Worried Noodles
And finally had to list probalby my favourite "rock" album of the last 100 years: Tilt by Scott Walker
The white album the first Rutles album and Prefab Sprout (Jordan the Return)
This record never stops getting better. People will be talking about him in 20 years the way people talk(ed?) about Nick Drake.
I loved them too. The first self titled record is still completely great to my ears. Pretty much the Franz Fernidad template.
Live albums probably deserve another thread but since I saw a few mentioned I have to add The Name of This Band is Talking Heads.
And +10 at Marquee Moon. Every single moment. Speaking of mid-2000s templates: they were basically the Strokes' template, no?
@monzo I can't get over your various shout outs to S,H&W ;-). Giving Up maybe wouldn't be my choice from the repertoire ... But then it makes sense in there with The Faust Tapes.. cut from the same cloth despite the decades in between. On a side note I would rate Reproduction above Travelogue ( even though that has the mighty mighty Black Hit of Space... They don't write lyrics as witty as that anymore ) what with all that AND yr Ginger Geezer avatar .... Pop Me.. I'm taking a shine to you my friend ...
Nick Drake, Mark Linkous (AKA Sparklehorse), Elliott Smith, Kurt Cobain. Quite a list of tragic suicides.
Nick Drake, Mark Linkous (AKA Sparklehorse), Elliott Smith, Kurt Cobain. Quite a list of tragic suicides.
That's another list altogether of course.....would have to add Dave McComb of The Triffids to it. Talented, troubled fellah....
My taste is weird (bad) I guess. For example, I love Make Believe by Weezer, which seems to be universally hated. I really like Day & Age by The Killers too.
Portishead Dummy,
Dawn of Midi Dysnomia,
Stevie Wonder Songs in the Key of Life,
Michael Kiwanuka Home Again,
Steve Reich Music for 18 Musicians,
Efterklang Tripper,
I didn't so much mean his (their) unfortunate death. More that he had a similar sort of quiet understated beauty to his songs that took two decades for people to appreciate in Nick Drake.
Avalanches - since I left you
Dj shadow - endtroducing
Rjd2 - deadringer
Amon tobin - isam
The recent Shpongle from a couple of years back is good too.
The space ritual - Hawkwind
Er, yes, yes, yep, er, is it okay for me to admit this?
Why not? It's a classic.
Split Enz are great. They are from my country of origin.
Love Split Enz, Crowded House, and the Finn Brothers!
@Richardyot mentioned Elliot Smith's Either/Or. I HAVE to add his XO as well. Such a great record. Man, he was good.
Dumb as it is, a (very) few people did use to talk about Nick Drake in the 80s and 90s, and then Pink Moon was used in a advert and he became famous, 25 years after his death.
I understand what you're saying about the resurgence of his fame in the 80's and 90's, but Nick Drake seemed pretty famous to us back in the early 70's. I still love Nick's music and I still remember where I was the day he died.
These are some (there are many more) of the records that forever changed the way I listened to music.
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
Roy Harper - HQ (almost anything by Roy actually)
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Planxty - The Woman I loved So Well
The Vibrators - Pure Mania
Psychic TV - Dreams Less Sweet
Neil Young - Ragged Glory
Pat Metheny - As Falls Wichita
Keith Jarrett - My Song
Iver Kleive & Knut Reiersrud - Himmelskip
Burial - Untrue
Eivind Aarset - Sonic Codex
Thanks! I think the Black Hit of Space swung it, but reproduction has some mighty tunes. Any early HL does it for me though, a real inspiration for my first teenage electro band.
I met Matt Wand of S, H & W a few times, as a mate I was in a band with did a few things with him, and he shared a house with my friends GF. I think S, H & W might have even sampled a few seconds of our stuff for 'Giving Up'. Again I like everything they do, another inspiring bunch of people.
I'd probably add a Nurse With Wound album to my list, difficult to choose though.
I was a kid when he died (4 years old at the time), I didn't really get to hear about him until the very late 80s. If you knew of him in the 1970s that's actually pretty cool, since according to Wikipedia his albums only sold 5000 copies each. That's even less than the Velvet Underground, who managed at least double those sales figures
There were a surprising number of us who were big fans at that time, but a lot of my mates are in their 60's and I am fast approaching that age. I would say that the vast majority of us discovered Nick Drake via Island's wonderful "Nice Enough To Eat" sampler from 1969, which also turned me onto Tull, The Fairport's, Spooky Tooth, Heavy Jelly etc ...I was already a big Crimson fan though....
Yes - Close to the Edge and Going for the One
Pink Floyd - DSOTM and Wish you were Here
Any (all) albums by UK
Close To The Edge is still my favourite Yes album; enjoyed hearing the Progeny shows for the first time last week. Surprisingly, despite being a Holdsworth fan, I hadn't heard any UK until recently ...really enjoyed 'Nevermore'. Nice to revisit a bit of old prog from time to time ;-)
This seems like a private conversation whilst everyone talks about Nick Drake, Yes and much less obscure stuff etc
For me Reproduction is an "all the way through" album... travelogue still has some "fast forward" elements ... But I can't knock it at all and I see someone else put Reproduction/Travelogue down as if they were one album... Maybe we should treat them that way
I'm intrigued by the Stock, Hausen & Walkman thing... Of course trying to identify one of yr own samples in their albums would be like trying to find a murderers thumb print on a public bus hand rail!! It's safe to say if you made a record, cassette or cd before 1995 then you are ON an S,H&W track..... Somewhere. Weird how lots of people here reference DJ shadows Endroducing as inspiration when the Walkmen had already made albums entirely out of samples 4 or five years earlier... Guess that's the commercial music scene for you.
What was yr teenage electro band?? What was yr band Mr Matt Wand was involved in? Who was the girlfriend of the friend of the house of the shared Walkman who lived with yr friends friendly Band Aid?? What era was this? Late 80's or early nineties?
Nurse with Wounds 'Sylvie & Babs High Thigh companion' seems a perfect ' anticipatory plagiarism' ( as the Oulipo call it ) of what S,H&W did later... I saw Steve Stapleton buying An S,H&W cassette in the World Serpent shop once... I wonder what he made of it ?
"These B&st&rds are ripping me off!,!,!" I can hear him muttering to himself... In a zen kind of way..
My Choice would be HAIRBALLS by Stock, Hausen & Walkman ... In retrospect it seems to have the primitive seed of everything that came after it in there.. Psychic & psychedelic!!
There was a bit of a ND resurgence in the 80's when the 'Heaven in a wild flower' compilation was released, that's when I first heard if him. I was lucky enough to work on his photographer friends website a few years back, and got to scan all the negs of the ND photo sessions, which was amazing as only about 10% of this has been made public.
