Still remember discovering them from “Intergalactic” on the radio and then later not being able to shut up about how brilliant Paul’s Boutique is. RIP MCA.
A few admissions from my perspective:
Neil Young – After the Gold Rush
Pink Floyd – Brain Damage/Eclipse
Rolling Stones – Wild Horses
Anything from Gram Parsons
David Bowie – Golden Years
Led Zeppelin – Kashmir
Beach Boys – Surf’s Up
Paul McCartney – The Back Seat of My Car
The Clash – Rudie Can’t Fail
Slade – Come on Feel the Noize
I dunno, I think a lot of Paul’s 70s stuff is criminally underrated. McCartney, Ram, Red Rose Speedway, Band on the Run, and Venus and Mars are all very good records. Not to diss Lennon or anything, but a lot of people just write some pretty good material off.
Yeah and apparently Skrillex=David Bowie. When he writes a “Life on Mars” get back to me. No offense Tom I usually love your writing.
Still not the same without Carl and Denny. Adam Levine and a bunch of anonymous guys in Hawaiian shirts are no substitute.
I would very much love to punch Mike Love in the face.
Thanks for looking out for us, Corban.
Hell yeah.
Dave Grohl is really starting to look old :/
Pretty sure that was the first and last time McCartney was referred to as anyone’s homie or an OG.
Solid opening from the Boss.
It’s hard to see how Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, etc. would have come along without her, and her National Anthem rendition is the best of all time. What a voice. What a waste.
Icky song.
It’s a hard call putting In Utero over Surfer Rosa, but great list. Gave me a few albums to listen to this week that I forgot.
I’m digging the new wave hooks mixed with that righteous working class anger that Springsteen does so well. The Boss still rocks.
You really do have no idea what you’re talking about.
No Everclear or Deep Blue Something?
“Show me your dragon magic/So very autobiographic”
“Swap meet Sally/Tramp stamp tat/Mousewife to bombshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo”
“Purple mountain’s majesty/Really talk to me/Talk to me, babe.”
Nuff said.
Looks like the Shins can still change your life.
He must have been thinking of Bryan Ferry.
Then you could include Diamond Dogs, which is also a totally classic album.
I think (though the Michael Jackson example really does stretch it a bit) he’s counting first official release. You could argue for Goat’s Head Soup, but then again, you’d be arguing for Goat’s Head Soup.
Listen to Wish You Were Here. It’s not nearly as intimidating as the Wall or Dark Side of the Moon. Wayne Coyne, Thom Yorke, Christopher Owens both think they’re good, so they can’t be that bad. Also as the duck said, their early psych stuff like “See Emily Play” is also great.
Also Surf’s Up by the Beach Boys. Their first “Surfin” single came out in 1961 and Surf’s Up came out in 71.
I’m convince Mick Jagger doesn’t age. I’ve always preferred Keith, but you can’t deny what an incredible showman he is. One of the best of his generation, if not for quite awhile.
