I'm looking for concept albums that revolve around going to sea and/or being lost at sea.

Anything on that topic is of interest to me, but if specifics are required then perhaps being lost at sea while pondering life/love/betrayal/revenge. Monomaniacal thoughts are a plus. Pretty much Ahab hunting Moby Dick in song.

Indie rock/folk/acoustic is preferable.


I really enjoy Andy Hull's work in all three Right Away, Great Captain! albums.

Examples:
Right Away, Great Captain! - Right Away, Great Captain

Right Away, Great Captain! - Like Lions Do

Right Away, Great Captain! - Devil Dressed In Blue

Right Away, Great Captain! - Right Ahead, Young Sailor!

I really enjoy the sound of The Decemberists in Leslie Anne Levine too.

Funeral for a Friend's album "Tales Don't Tell Themselves" is pretty much about a dude being lost at sea:

oh, missed this last bit- my boy Dave Witte has been in a bunch of bands that might fit the bill, namely East West Blast Test, Discordance Axis, Burnt by the Sun, and Human Remains. can't imagine most it being good workout music, but there's plenty of impressive musicianship, a bit of chaos, and certainly some instances of over-the-top heaviness.

Assuming you've got all the Mr. Bungle/Fantomas/Faith No More/Tomahawk stuff, you might be into Tyondai Braxton, Deftones, or even some Zappa (which is its own minefield), but it might help if you could be more specific about what aspects you like, because Patton is all over the place.

I'm already a huge Zappa fan, and by Patton I just mean eclectic genre-blending stuff and his tendency to dabble in darker themes. Good vocals with a wide range is good as well.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I'm looking for a good biography similar to Mark Spitz's Bowie of Talking Heads/David Byrne.

It's not quite what you're looking for, but Byrne's own book "How Music Works" contains a section where he describes the recording process of each album as well as some of his life story. It's also just a really loving cool book in general that will make you think critically about the way you listen to music.

Maybe Jimmy Smith. He's more on the straight-ahead jazz style, but similar to the funky instrumental stuff the Beastie Boys did. I'd guess you know this little tune called Root Down.

If that scratches the itch, I'd recommend Herbie Hancock's album Head Hunters.

And of course The Meters. You don't get much funkier than the Meters.

This might seem rather nebulous, so bear with me here.


Recently I've discovered the album "Spiderland" by Slint and found out about its' "unsung classic" status. So I guess what I'm asking is if there are other records from the 1990's that have this label. They don't have to sound like Slint (I'd prefer they not, if just for variety's sake), but if anybody could make suggestions along the vein of "record that should have been a bigger deal and is now considered a classic" from that period, I'd be rather grateful.

Classic is a pretty variable term (although these should all be considered classics within their respective genres), and I was born in 1992 so my perception of these albums' popularity upon release is based on what I've heard, but I'll give it a shot:

Mother Love Bone - Apple
Drive Like Jehu - Both of their albums (Drive Like Jehu and Yank Crime)
The Nation of Ulysses - Plays Pretty For Baby
diSEMBOWELMENT - Transcendence Into the Peripheral
Demilich - Nespithe
Organized Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda (at least I think it should be a classic :colbert:)
Moss Icon - Lyburnum Wits End Liberation Fly

Faith No More - Angel Dust. Didn't sell all that well but it just may be the best album of the early 90s
Sleater-Kinney's second and third albums (and really, everything after their first), Call the Doctor and Dig Me Out are phenomenal and highly regarded, critically.
Veruca Salt - American Thighs had some buzz bit didn't sell all that much, but it might be the best grunge record ever made.

Sleater-Kinney features two lead guitars w/ no bass but I don't know if it's what you're looking for.
Something of an atypical song for them given that the second half is entirely instrumental but it showcases the dueling guitars thing. That said, Carrie Brownstein's guitar is bigger in the mix.

Even though it's not in your list I'll assume you already know of Judas Priest; if not grab 'Sad Wings of Destiny', 'Sin After Sin', 'Stained Class' and 'Unleashed in the East'. The rest of their discography is fairly up and down but those three studio and one live album are their best/most original work.

'The Red Album' by Baroness has some delightful twin lead guitar work and their heavier moments are very reminiscent of Mastodon.

There's a band called Diarrhea Planet, who despite their hideous name, write some pretty awesome garage rock type stuff; sounds like Fang Island trying to write a Japandroids album. I particularly like this song but the entirety of their 2013 album is great.

Fang Island are also a great poppy math rock band with oodles of lead lines; their self-titled is probably the best.

'Court in the Act' by Satan is one of the most technical NWOBHM albums out there; riffs out the rear end, plenty of blazing lead lines and quite a few harmonised/twin leads. Their latest album 'Life Sentance' was also outstanding, especially for a band who had been on hiatus for 20 years.

I can't think of anything else at the moment but I'd say your best bets are to look into 80's metal (or retro/throwback stuff) and math rock for more stuff like that.

Thin Lizzy, Television and Wishbone Ash are always my go-to answer for this kind of question...There's also the extremely obvious "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs," which I'm assuming you've heard and just didn't list. Try some of these albums:

Artillery - By Inheritance
Deathrow - Deception Ignored
Between the Buried and Me - Colors
Blue Oyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin
Brocas Helm - Into Battle
Slough Feg - Traveller
Cynic - Traced in Air
Protest the Hero - Fortress
Death - Individual Thought Patterns
Forbidden - Forbidden Evil
Hammers of Misfortune - The Locust Years
Heathen - Victims of Deception
Hieronymus Bosch - Equivoke
Scale the Summit - The Migration
Martyr - Hopeless Hopes
Megadeth - Rust in Peace (duh)
Metal Church - Metal Church
Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor
Num Skull - Ritually Abused

And I definitely second Satan. Also, have you ever given Skynyrd a fair shot? Pronounced and Street Survivors are great albums.

Here's a few more if you haven't had enough yet-
Bark Psychosis - Hex; one of the earliest post-rock albums, along with
Talk Talk - Desire; I can't really talk about this album without mentioning the album that came before it, Spirit of Eden (but it came out in 88). Beautiful albums, and even though they're listed alongside Slint when talking about 90's post-rock, they really sound nothing alike and come from totally different scenes.

Nation of Ulysses, Hum, and Moss Icon are good ones, although I'm not sure the latter counts as 90s. as has been stated, i'm kinda wary of the "classic" label, so here are some personal favorites from the 90s that a lot of people might not have heard:

Lungfish, Pass and Stow; Codeine, Frigid Stars; Bedhead, What Fun Life Was; Radar Bros., S/T; Jawbreaker, 24-Hour Revenge Therapy; Kerosene 454; Metroschifter, Fort Saint Metroschifter; Monroe Mustang; Longitude, Alright; American Analog Set, The Fun of Watching Fireworks; Red Stars Theory; Shipping News, Save Everything; the Swirlies, Blonder Tongue Audio Baton; Team Dresch, Personal Best; Unrest, Imperial FFRR; Unwound, Repetition; Velocity Girl, Copacetic; The Wedding Present, Seamonsters; Lilys, In the Presence of Nothing; Galaxie 500, This is Our Music. not the 90s, but the Feelies' Crazy Rhythms and the Clean's 2003 anthology are great "retroactive classics."

Brainiac - Hissing Prigs in Static Couture

Their last album before the lead singer died in a car accident in 1997. Brainiac should have been a much bigger band, you can hear their influence in so many bands that came after but they don't often get the recognition they deserve.

Daft Punk has a few songs that kind of fit. Revolution 909 is probably the best fit. Indo Silver Club and Around the World both start with the muffled, outside-the-club sound but after it switches to a clearer sound it never switches back.
