the farthest anyone needs to go with ringo's solo stuff is what george wrote, so "it don't come easy" and "photograph"

Looking over the credits for Goodnight Vienna on discogs and I forgot that all the songs are basically collabs. That funny No No Song? Written by Hoyt Axton. Now I'm questioning if it's even worth keeping the Ognir Rrats bootleg I have....

Did any of the former Beatles do anything worth listening to after they broke up? I've never really dug into any of it too much but I don't have good impressions from what I've heard.

I also really like Wonderwall Music.

Some of John’s solo stuff he wrote while the band was togther and was just left off of the white album, etc. If you like later Beatles listen to Plastic Ono Band. I think Ram and McCartney 1 are both pretty good too

I think angry Paul = better music though but most of his output is very twee sentimental indie rock which I personally do not like. People love the hell out of Ram, which basically invented the genre iirc, but it's one of those that got reclaimed as good in recent years. I had a Lennon CD (Ono Band?) once and remember nothing about it. And if you're a Harrison fan you already own the box set of All Things Must Pass.

It’s a little corny sometimes but also pretty great I'll have to youtube it, since I sold the disc to a shop years ago. The secret truth of asking about Ringo here was to get an extra push to get rid of the records of his I do have. I over bought when first getting back into music at the end of 2019, and my tastes have changed since then, especially since I took up an instrument too. I might keep the Ognir Rrats vinyl as it kinda goes with my Rutles stuff: both relate with the Beatles dealing with the break up of the band and the crazy crap they did afterward. Next reassessment is The Who and the random solo career bits I have from that band.

The vibe from Ringo, using a modern comparison, is that his records are basically like... Travis Scott, in that while he isn't untalented himself (great drummer!) his best work involves a rotating stable of more interesting collaborators (his ex-Beatles bandmates, Elton John and Bernie Taupin, etc.)

So I am absolutely in love with what little St. Vicent I've encountered, but two of the four songs I'm going to list are in collaboration with David Byrne, and I know nothing of her preferred style or influence on whatever genre she finds herself in. How do I get into St Vincent, and what overarching themes, genres, and motifs is she about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiiKyvlwkJA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Dcn1gIl2Co https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88fYk06mLH4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYDRg40UVko

ultrafilter posted:Did any of the former Beatles do anything worth listening to after they broke up? I've never really dug into any of it too much but I don't have good impressions from what I've heard. The answer is yes. Ringo’s self titled album has some pretty good stuff. John Lennon worst stuff was merely okay. His half of Double Fantasy is also pretty good, but a lot of his early solo stuff is interesting because he’s still John, so he’s getting angry, doing poo poo like writing and recording Instant Karma as fast as possible and stuff like that. A lot of his mid 70s stuff doesn’t do it for me. Paul McCartney is definitely the one with the widest range. Half of Band on the Run is amazing, the other half is forgettable Paul going nowhere music. He’s always had at least one or two big surprises up his sleeves. At his most gonzo would definitely be McCartney II, from which Coming Up inspired John Lennon to get back to writing music. Harrison is probably the most interesting because as a Beatle, he got to do so little. So All Things Must Pass is essential. Cloud 9 is a really great album, and a huge come back for him since his previous 2 albums were largely forgettable, except for the Lennon tribute “All Those Years Ago.” The biggest thing is that he’s having fun, putting out stuff like Got My Mind Set On You and just being goofy as hell. But it doesn’t come off forced. And don’t forget Traveling Wilburys Vol 1. Basically, he was asked to record a bonus track for a European 12 inch single, and through some fortuitous timing, got Jeff Lynne (the guy who produced Cloud 9, do not that surprising), Roy Orbison, Tom Pretty, and Bob Dylan to record a track with him. Warners rejected the track because they just wanted some filler, so he cuts a full album with them because they had so much fun, and is genuinely another great fun record, and a great swan song for Roy Orbison. Vol 3 you can ship except for You Took My Breath Away.

Mystery Girl was released after Orbison’s death, which makes TW V1 the last album release in his lifetime (I’m not going to look up when You Got It was released as a single). That’s all I meant by it. You should go outside and touch grass. There are things to get aggressive about, Roy Orbison is not one of them.

Ok that checks out. If you like that sound, the rest of the album it's on is pretty good for being middle of the road 90s alt rock. Despite being Bob Dylan's son, Jacob never did much interesting. I couldn't name another song though. Except for Heros, which I think was a cover? I really like that one still. Every time I hear One Headlight I always expect to hear something like Semisonic or Marcy Playground or Smashmouth next. I used to get really surprised to find out there were old goons and now I'm always surprised when I'm reminded there are some younger than 30.

Junpei posted:I wasn't born until after 9/11 Thank you for this. Not throwing any shade on anyone, I sincerely appreciate the reminder that not everyone spent their teen years getting mad at boring radio stations that broadcast One Headlight nearly continuously. I'm Canadian, so multiply the annoyance by a large number because the Wallflowers were interspersed with endless plays of the entire output of Nickelback. As you can probably tell from the responses from us old fogeys, the Wallflowers were widely regarded as low-grade pop-culture money-spinning rather than as music to be taken seriously. This is perhaps unfair to the people involved. Out of curiosity, is there any music you might put into a similar category, audio pablum not worthy of further investigation?

Probably barely fits the bill but my favorite punk band these days is The Chats, but again they're modern and Australian.

Cher? All i know are a few of her hits. Gypsys Tramps and Thieves is OK. I liked Dark Lady. Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) was bad with I Got You Babe is as cheesy good. Believe is something I'm cool with once in a blue moon, but I'm not into that sort of beat. Half-Breed is cringy as all hell. In the Todd in the Shadows episode of her bad idea album with Gregg Allman, I admit to kinda liking the bit I heard of You've Really Got a Hold on Me.
