Here are some suggestions for music to try, along with the circumstances when listening would make the most sense. When you're in a mood to follow an album's worth of almost every genre of rock-adjacent music via one man's personal journey of the Black experience: Passing Strange original Broadway Soundtrack When you aren't sure if you're ever going to like ska but are curious, have 45 minutes to spend, and also want to hear the single greatest song ever written: Special Beat Service by The [English] Beat* When you want to learn the craft of the story-song from an undisputed master, a man whose fingers have been among the nimblest on a guitar for five decades, and figure a best-of album is a good place to start: Action Packed by Richard Thompson; listen to what he's doing on 1952 Vincent Black Lightning and tell me three generations of subsequent guitarists wouldn't give their eyeteeth to be able to do that, and he does it on both electric and acoustic! Bonus treat: track down his 1000 Years of Popular Music, which I think is no longer in print. Somebody asked a bunch of musicians in 1999 to name their favorite songs of the millennium, and Thompson not only sent back a list that spanned more than 900 years, he recorded them. His cover of Oops, I Did It Again is brilliant. When you want to learn more of the craft of the story-song from another undisputed master: Anything by John Darnielle/The Mountain Goats, but especially This Year, No Children, and The Best Ever Death Metal Band Out Of Denton When you are 14 years old and starting to think about having sex with an actual other human being, and one song is obsessively playing in your head and becomes inextricably linked with that thought: Turn It On Again by Genesis When you want to hear the song with some of the most varied covers ever: In Between Days by The Cure, then find the Ben Folds and Luka Bloom versions When you want to hear the other song with some of the most varied covers ever: Romeo & Juliet by Dire Straits, then find the Indigo Girls and The Killers versions Related: when you want to hear a song that starts off and you're saying hey wait this sounds kind of wrong like maybe it's off key or something and then you hear Mark Knoppfler murmur "1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4" and the piano kicks in and it all comes together: Espressso Love by Dire Straits When you want to hear and see somebody absolutely beasting on the drums, at way too young an age, and engaged in the most wholesome series of musical call-outs and challenges ever: Look up the videos of Nandi Bushell and Dave Grohl having their drum battles, which culminated in Bushell (age 10) playing Evermore with the Foo Fighters live in LA; she was also part of the London Taylor Hawkins tribute concert When you get recent, tragic news that you didn't want to hear but knew was inevitable: The Lion And The Cobra by Sinead O'Connor, and put Mandinka on repeat until the sadness goes away When you're in a goofy-a** mood and feeling nerdy: Anything by Jonathan Coulton, but especially Chiron Beta Prime, Re: Your Brains, Still Alive, Mandlebrot Set, The Future Soon, First of May, and the best ever cover of Baby Got Back; if you're in a more contemplative mood and considering the process of aging into your parents somewhere around turning 40, Glasses When it's 3am and you're on a long drive and need something joyous to keep you awake: Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel When you're feeling the need for some orchestral thunder: In The Hall Of The Mountain King from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite O Fortuna from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana Hoedown from Aaron Copland's Rodeo Henry V soundtrack by Patrick Doyle When you want a guitar to sound so supple it brings you to tears: Frank Zappa's Watermelon In Easter Hay, Peaches en Regalia, and The Deathless Horsie While you're at it, look at any of the guitarists that Zappa had play with his band over the years, you'll find folks like Adrian Belew, Mike Kenneally, Steve Vai, and a host of other masters When you want to get into 80s synthpop and don't know where to start: Yaz only released two albums (Upstairs At Eric's and You And Me Both) and they're both amazing; Alison Moyet's voice is like butter When you heard that one song on Stranger Things and wonder if the rest of the album is as good: Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush, and yes, it is; apart from one clunker, the entire first side is a friggin' masterpiece When you want to start your own band and aren't sure if you could ever be good enough and need some encouragement that all you need is a garage, two guitars, bass, drum, and enough enthusiasm: Anything by The Dead Milkmen (RIP Rodney Anonymous) but especially b****in' Camaro, Methodist Coloring Book, and Instant Club Hit (You'll Dance To Anything); bonus points for having the best album titles ever When you like early U2 but wonder what if they were Scottish instead of Irish: Big Country When you like early U2 but wonder what if they were Welsh instead of Irish: The Alarm When you want to hear a dozen master musicians playing a dozen different instruments in at least seven different time signatures simultaneously: Perpetuum Mobile by Penguin Cafe Orchestra When you wonder what a key member of early postpunk who became a writer of storylines for WWE is up to: Changes, Helpless, If I Can't Change Your Mind by Sugar; See A Little Light by Bob Mould solo When you want something jazz-adjacent with a silky-smooth vocal line: If The Stars Were Mine by Melody Gardot Beyond Compare by Maude Maggert Anything by Champian Fulton (who is also playing piano as she sings) If you want some straight up jazz to change your mind about jazz: Moanin' by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers If you want to know what happens when a record company in 1990 decides it has enough budget to promote one band in their lineup and picks the wrong one and the far better band doesn't get the footing it deserves: Kill Your Television by Ned's Atomic Dustbin If you always wondered what happens when a popular band's frontman develops crippling stagefright and can't perform in public and must devote creative energies to studio albums only and produces no two that sound alike but are all god-tier wonderful and so supremely well engineered that sound guys use them as reference discs: The entire catalog of XTC, but let's say especially Big Express, Skylarking, Mummer, English Settlement, Oranges & Lemons, and Nonsuch The hardest-rocking album from a Boston band that inexplicably never caught on more broadly: Abort by Tribe, which is tragically out of print, but a couple members were involved in the production of Guitar Hero/Rock Band so you can actually find some of their songs there; the standout track is Joyride (I Saw The Film) And finally: If you're curious about J-pop and don't know where to start: The Your Name soundtrack album by RADWIMPS, many tracks of which has been released in English-language versions That should do it, sorry for any typos, feel free to follow up with any questions. * Known as The Beat in their native England, The English Beat in the US because there was already a band with that name here. And the single greatest song ever written is Save It For Later. And yes, in case you were wondering, I did spend way too many hours on-air as a college DJ.
this is just wrong. To Pimp A Butterfly is the best album for guilty white people. and the mountain goats are pretty good. i went to dallas a few weeks ago and i tried to go to denton but there was no time. this is good but it wont change your mind about jazz. if you didnt like jazz before and you like it because of this song... what exactly changed? i mean a big portion of the blue note stuff has this style so maybe its just you were listening to weird smooth jazz. cool list doe.
i dont mind this but its got NOTHING on JPEGMAFIA!!! I Cannot f***ing Wait Til Morrissey Dies - song and lyrics by JPEGMAFIA | Spotify listen to this. it will BLOW YOUR MIND!
Didn't say it was the best, just the situation it's appropriate to. And Stew, either solo or with The Nergo Problem (dunno if that will get past the filters) is a songwriter and performer par excellence. Didn't miss much, tbh. I'd listened to a bunch of Blue Note stuff, and some Miles, some Dizzy, and Take Five all almost got me there, but it was Moanin', on the recommendation of Harvey Pekar, that finally clicked everything for me. I acknowledge that this is likely not a universal experience, given that Pekar was famously grouchy and I'm still not sure why he took the time to give me a primer in jazz (boredom, I suspect), and also he's dead so y'all won't get the chance but still ... when Harvey tells you to give something a shot and it'll work or you should just give up, you listen. Then kew.
i just had heard that they performed there every tuesday at the town center. other than that denton is a... bad place. so is all of DFW idk whats so special abt west texas to them. the first time i heard take five was when i went to one of my friends jazz band concerts. it was fine. miles and dizzy are kool too. do u know nujabes? ik hes not like one of those classic jazz ppl but he does jazz AND hip hop! hes pretty much the greatest jazz and hip hop fusion of all time. be sure to check him out hes dope. also i noticed none of u guys posted any neutral milk hotel yet. this is a music thread. on a forum. its pretty much obligatory. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (AKA THE BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!) this is the greatest album of all time. ur ears will be blessed guyz.
