Funny Bunny posted:Wow, this is a great help. Perfect start! Thanks a bunch, I'll try these songs. From there, check out Dick's Picks 19 (Playing In the Band, Dark Star and Eyes of the World) to see if you want to get "all in" with the Dead. It's a live concert (A good one) shows off their country/folk vibe, and then the last two disks will let you know if you're into the jammin'.

6EQUJ5 posted:Where do I start with John Zorn? I see him referenced by so many people, but his discography is just crazy big. Anything by Masada - with a few slight exceptions everything they did was solid gold. It's a Jazz quartet they're all incredible musicians and there is enough free jazz to keep things lively. Highly highly recommended. Electric Masada is a different beast altogether, and a lot harsher on the ears so probably stay clear of that for a while unless you dig noise music (I'm not using that as a derogatory term, just that... that's what it is in spots). Naked City is.... well. I think of it as The John Zorn album. I really liked Filmworks: The Treatment Where do I start with Widespread Panic? algebra testes fucked around with this message at 07:02 on Jan 17, 2013 |

I have a good few of the obvious culprits (Live At Leeds, Double Live Gonzo!, Frampton Comes Alive!, Live Killers, Made In Japan, You Get What You Play For, Captured and so on) but I'm interested in more obscure examples.

John Mayall- Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton - just a great English electric blues record. Howlin' Wolf - The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions- features an all star cast of English bluemen playing the some of the great blues standards with Howlin' Wolf.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. 90s is fine with me. In a similar vein, it became apparent that I've only heard Blackwater Park -> Deliverence/Damnation . Where do I start with Pre-Blackwater Park and post Damnation Opeth?

Surfer Rosa Parks posted:Late Registration is very accessible and has a lot of Kanye's big radio singles, but My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is his most critically acclaimed work and might be a better starting point if you got into him through Yeezus. All of his albums sound pretty different though, your best bet is to listen to a bunch of his singles and track down the albums of the ones you like the most. On it, thanks!

Wynton - proponent of "Chamber Jazz" thinks Jazz died in the 1960s. Branford - Loves the poo poo out of Coltrane, played with Public Enemy and used to jam with the Grateful Dead (It was amazing) hatelull posted:Having said that Ten Summoner's Tales was a pretty big record in '93 all a lot of it became staples on schmaltzy adult rock stations. Ten Summoner's tales is worth the listen, only because he just pulls every trick out of the schmaltzy Soft-Rock playbook. That keychange at the of "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" is just amazing.

Fugazi - I like 13 Songs, and then Repeater. I kinda think their entire discography builds off of those two records (well, two eps and a record) pushing it further and further in different directions up until the Argument.

Allen Wren posted:I think Exile's difficult reputation stems from its length and its relative lack of big radio singles, especially considering its length. Basically the only track from the record that entered the lowest-common-denominator that is the classic rock radio playlist is Tumbling Dice. Yeah it's not a familiar album to listen to, as in you probably haven't heard any of the tunes on the radio, unlike say if you were listening to many of their others. But it's an insanely strong album. I think what makes it my favorite album is that it grooves so hard, and it it sounds so raucous. And I love the R&B horns on every other track.

Mine was Ragged Glory which is just like, an hour of the same three chords and really long dragged out guitar solos and I love it. I'm also partial to the album he did with Pearl Jam, Mirror Ball which is another rocking album. edit: also that album he did a few years go, Psychedelic Pill is actually strangely strong considering he's been doing this poo poo for 40 years or whatever. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Sep 10, 2016 |

There is no way I can possibly answer this well, but I started with The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars for his earlier work, and Low for his Berlin stuff. I'm sure someone with a more detailed knowledge can help more.

Junpei posted:Since these two bands are linked: Joy Division and New Order New Order would be Singles. A lot of their best work they released independent of their albums so that would be the start. Power, Corruption & Lies is their most revered work but any of those first three albums (including Movement and Low-Life) are solid. Joy Division is Serious Business and I don't know enough to help. Ninja edit: the songs Love Will Tear Us Apart, Transmission, She's Lost Control and Dead Souls are my go to Joy Division songs but I think they are spread around various singles collections and albums. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 06:28 on Jan 17, 2020 |

Also Sweetheart too. Up there with Workingman's Dead/American Beauty as my favourite country rock records.

Stop now because the Dead are a rabbit hole you may not want to go down........... First try Workingman's Dead, Wake of the Flood, Blues for Allah. Wake of the Flood had 1 dud track the rest are classics. If you like those three then the solo albums from that period: Bob Weir's Ace has a bunch of Dead standards on it. Garcia's Garcia is an honest to God solo effort but has some really great jams that become dead standards. From the Mars Hotel is more like Wake of the Flood but not as good. But has some bangers on it. If you wanna try Terrapin Station, that has some Jams Too but a bit more garbage. Title track is great. Going the other way towards the Psychedelic: Axomoaxa has some jams but some garbage and Anthem of the Sun is a classic but its very Psychedelic and not so countryish. First Live Album should be Europe 72. If you like the Psychedelic Blues Rock stuff then Live/Dead. If you like any album especially check out a corresponding live release from that tour. Any albums post Terrapin are trash and only enjoyed ironically, but they had an actual hit single with Touch of Grey and its a total bop. I like Go To Heaven because its ridiculously slick and kinda garbage. And Althea is great.

I like live albums for Jazz, and as such Live at the It Club and Live at the Jazz Workshop are solid entries. Aside from just swinging like a rusty gate, its also the full gamut of Monk, him getting up and dancing during the solos (piano just stops and its drum bass and sax), him going "We're in Bb so we are playing Straight No Chaser" when in fact they are playing Blue Monk and the band hurridly changing song to follow him.

Maynard and Danny jamming live with Rage on Public Enemy always hits. Also they all did a cover of "Doctor Love" by Kiss, pretty sure it's Maynard, Tom Morello, Timmy C and someone from Porno for Pyros and it is a total bop, and I am not a massive Kiss Fan. Edit I'm wrong it's Billy Gould and Brad Wilk!

Teach posted:OK, I got one. Where do I start with Can? I literally started a play list with every album in chronological order and went through that way. Extremely good poo poo and worth the experience. I agree that they aren't a band that requires cherry picking or context beyond "this poo poo rules". Compare that say to, the Grateful Dead where a more curated approach would be better imo.

Henchman of Santa posted:This is a tricky one because they’ve gone through so many phases and sounds. You’ll probably get a bunch of different answers. I only know 2010 era swans and To Be Kind is a definite +1. The Seer from the same period is really good as well, and The Glowing Man (the last for that incarnation) is also meant to be good as well. My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky is by all accounts merely "good" and not as amazing as the other three.
