I' m sure all music fans will want to know that Jarrett sued Steely Dan for copying one of their numbers . The SD song 'Gaucho' sounded suspiciously like one of his numbers and he sued; think he won and some liner notes included him in the credits. re. Brand X - yep they were tasty and it is a damn shame that Phil Collins was such a good drummer; it detracted from the fact that he is a pratt.

Not a flashy player, but he was never about guitar heroism. But it's his singing voice that for me, makes him so good. Pure soul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I like the music of the late 50s early 60s but my favourite type of music is instrumental ( wich is from any era ) Check out " Theme from a summer place " Percy Faith,"Stranger on the shore" Acker Bilk and for the singing type 50s/60s music check out "Unchained melody" by the Righteous Brothers > below.

bickster Posted November 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'm awaiting a Discogs backlash from the My Bloody Valentine devoted I've just uploaded a photo of six art prints that were included in my copy of Loveless, I can find absolutely no mention of them anywhere online. Six photo prints essentially of the album images plus 2 more similar so they clearly belong with the album I can't decide whether I'm a bit like Chocolate Factory Charlie finding the golden ticket or I'm completely missing something obvious It'll lead to gnashing and wailing and I'm not sure whether the photo should have been uploaded but at least I might get an answer to my question Here they are anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 10 hours ago, mjmooney said: We tend to think that the music that was around when we were teenagers was the best. 1999 - 2005 definitely had it's moments and I have a lot of fond memories but I certainly don't think that! A lot of the 'new' music I was listening to would make most posters on here wince. I think for every year I went into my teens I would delve another decade into the past. The introduction and development of streaming/downloading certainly made that a lot easier to do. Thank Paul McGrath for Young, Springsteen, Orbison etc... The closest thing I had to a hero like that was Ashcroft though I do still maintain he's incredibly gifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I am sure there are other bands who have a longer patch where they released nothing but fantastic albums but The Fall for me between 1982s Hex Induction Hour all the way through to 93's The Infotainment Scan is a hell of a long rich run. I suspect for some pre HIH and post TIS are of excellence as well, I just prefer that period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not particularly into instrumentals in the pop/rock field, but completely opposite with jazz and classical, where I don't want to hear any singing.

Pink Floyd, 1968 - 1977 maybe close REM, 1983 - 1994 But that's just me and my love of obscure music so ignore that but the wildly poptastic combo Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds might just have managed a run between 1984 and 2008 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never liked it and it was the reason I instantly decided I didn't like Pink Floyd for many years. I think it was the comparisons between The Orb and Pink Floyd than made me actually try to listen to PF with an open mind 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 It’s always going to be down to taste, but Super Furry Animals between ‘96 and ‘07 well that nine album run was just crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted November 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2021 I've never heard a bad album by HMHB tbh. Some have weaker tracks but I don't think I've heard a bad album overall. Same for Sleaford Mods actually. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2021 Radiohead released a... exhibition/game/experience this week, for free, on the PlayStation store (at least). Apparently it's great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
