In addition to the albums already listed for Charles Mingus, check out Money Jungle which has Duke Ellington on piano and Max Roach on drums.

For Thelonious Monk, some of the big ones that haven't been mentioned yet are Genius of Modern Music Vol. 1 and 2, Brilliant Corners, and Monk's Dream.

Long shot, but I got asked to go see Rickie Lee Jones with someone. I have not even a slight knowledge of her work.

Listen to the self titled. And probably whatever her latest is? But the self titled is the famous one.

Thickfreakness and Chulahoma are my favorites but it's their stripped down blues stuff.

For their original run as a raw two-piece blues rock act, Rubber Factory. For their more full-band sound, Brothers.

I been wantin to see a honkey dance.
I'm an American who never really got into Oasis despite being in the age for it. Is there a really good full concert (~45 minutes or more) available on YouTube I could check out? Good in terms of sound quality and band performance.

The most famous would probably be the concert they did at Knebworth House in 1996.

Not sure about YT sound quality though they did release an album of the concert too if that helps.

Related to the Peter Gabriel thread that showed up a couple days ago, I've been feeling the urge to get into Gabriel-era Genesis lately; only exposure I've had was giving Lamb Lies Down on Broadway a listen or two way back in college. Not opposed to listening to Collins-era Genesis either, but my prog sensibilities have me erring towards the early years.

Selling England by the Pound is my favorite all-around one. A Trick of the Tail is Collins era but still doing the Gabriel sound fyi.

Check out Genesis Live. The original 5 tracks are amazing and far better than their respective album versions. Make sure you get the remastered version, as it greatly improves the sound and mix compared to the original release, and includes some bonus tracks from the Lamb tour.

Keep in mind, all the Phil albums still have plenty of great prog shenanigans in there, particularly the 70s stuff, it’s just they get overshadowed in the 80s by the pop singles. To quote myself the last time someone asked about Genesis:

fartknocker posted:

If you like Invisible Touch, start with the three albums that precede it, which are Duke, Abacab, and the self titled Genesis. Not to go fully Patrick Bateman, but Duke is the point where they're getting more into the synthy-pop sound they'll use through the 80s, but all the albums have a ton of great/more proggy stuff still on them. Duke has the whole Duke suite and Misunderstanding, Abacab has the title track, Keep it Dark, Dodo/Lurker, and all of side 1 of Genesis. After Invisible Touch is We Can't Dance, which I think gets a bit too ballad-y or adult contemporary at points, but does still have some really good stuff (No Son of Mine and Jesus He Know Me being personal favorites).

If you want to go back to the Peter Gabriel-era, which you should because it's great and defined by a string of influential progressive rock classics, focus on Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, which are also the albums with Phil Collins and Steve Hackett. All of them have at least a couple of great songs, like The Musical Box and Return of the Giant Hogweed from Nursery Cryme, Watcher of the Skies, Get 'Em Out by Friday, and the 23-minute epic Supper's Ready on Foxtrot, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe), and Firth of Fifth from Selling England. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is a concept double album, and while the highs of it are extremely good (The title track and most of side 1, The Carpet Crawlers, a lot of side 4), it does drag at some points. Still, all are really good albums. I also highly, highly recommend Genesis Live, which I think the five tracks on the original version are all vastly superior to their original album versions.

After Lamb is when Phil becomes lead singer, and they slowly shift over time. I like all three albums they did with Phil in the 70s (A Trick of the Tail, Wind & Wuthering, and ...And Then There Were Three...), which are all mostly good with some great songs (Squonk and Los Endors from Trick, One for the Vine and the various instrumentals on Wind, Deep in the Motherlode, The Lady Lies, and Follow You, Follow Me from Three) but also each has like one... I won't say dud, but one song I'm just not crazy about. This era also has Seconds Out, which is another very good live album.

Wind & Wuthering benefits from swapping out the dreadful yacht wannabe "Your Own Special Way" for the very Yes-inspired "Inside & Out".

what would you swap it for?

my pick is anything she does, as much as i like a fast, fun horn chart

and yeah, that's with full knowledge that I'm preserving both of the ballads on the record. I'm a sucker for a love song and for tony's synth tone on in too deep

I’d swap out In Too Deep, I think I skip that more than anything else on that album, Patrick Bateman quotes aside. You’d have both sides ending with an instrumental and I think it’d work well after Land of Confusion.

I just make Invisible Touch CD-length and have this tracklist:

1. Do The Neurotic
2. Invisible Touch
3. Tonight, Tonight, Tonight
4. Land Of Confusion
5. In Too Deep
6. I'd Rather Be You
7. Domino
8. Feeding The Fire
9. Throwing It All Away
10. The Brazilian


Similarly to We Can't Dance, except I do some re-arranging / swapping out spa music:

1. No Son Of Mine
2. Jesus He Knows Me
3. Driving The Last Spike
4. I Can't Dance
5. Hearts On Fire
6. Dreaming While You Sleep
7. Tell Me Why
8. On The Shoreline
9. Way Of The World
10. Living Forever
11. Hold On My Heart
12. Fading Lights


Though I'll admit I made myself a remaster of this to sound more like Invisible Touch and less like a CVS PA system.
