JukKluk2 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Pete Townshend as a writer and as a singer has always seemed to find ways into my very core. Quadrophenia and Empty Glass are the two albums that I consider the apotheosis of his powers in that regard, though it's a only by a whisker over any of the others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewantsmoore Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Wow... a long list, but it depends on my mood. Right now (looking at my current playlist...) Radiohead Tool Muse Everything Everything Karnivool ... later on tonight, I would say almost any release on the Anjunadeep label. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenikoy Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Much better idea for a thread! Love at first sight, with no break-ups? Still remember the day we first met? Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers – seeing the Refugee video on Sounds Unlimited one Saturday morning in 1979. Age 11, hooked for life. The Church – Unguarded Moment video on Simon Townsend Wonderworld after school in 1981. Still interested in all things Steve Kilbey. Teenage Fanclub – God Knows It’s True on Rage in 1990. New favourite band time. Wilco – Outtasite on JJJ in 1997. Pushed my Replacements and guitars buttons. It’s been a great journey with them so far. Many other long term loves, but they were in the “slow burn” or “playing hard” to get category 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilettanteque Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hmm...i'll limit to today's impression of a baker's dozen The Veils (esp. Finn Andrews) Dirty Three (and by extension Warren) Mogwai Radiohead (Thom and Jonny) Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Efrim) A Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-la-la Band Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Sarah Blasko Bill Evans John Coltrane Alfred Brendel John Eliot Gardiner School of Seven Bells The Frames (when The Frames are The Frames and not a Glen Hansard vanity project...I would have said Hansard until he jumped the shark after Once) Maybe a take on this could be a variation on Desert Island Disc concept. If you could only ever hear the work (past and potential) of 10 artists/bands for the remainder of your conscious existence, who would they be?

brumby Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) The greatness of Paul Butterfield?? Indeed!! Michael Bloomfield too. I was priviledged to see them twice in the mid/late 1960s. Another great white blues harp player was Corky Siegal. Check this out: Others: Taj Mahal with the great Jessie Edwin Davis - Bacon Fat Jeff Beck - Wired - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat John Abercrombie and Jan Hammer - Timeless Emil Gilels - any Beethoven Piano Sonata Mitsoko Uchida - Mozart Piano Sonatas Ralph Towner - Oregon and his many magnificent ECM recordings Little Feat and the great Lowell George - Rock n Roll Doctor, Dixie Chicken and others Miles Davis - In A Silent Way and many others (yes, including Kind of Blue) Bill Evans - Consecration and lots and LOTS of others Herbert von Karajan - Beethoven #9, 1977 recording, especially the slow movement (#3) - perhaps the finest music ever written Edited November 23, 2018 by brumby 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hergest Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Mike Oldfield. First heard his music when I was 10 and my sister bought Tubular Bells when it was first released. Even his ordinary stuff (and he's released a fair amount of that over the years) has me hooked. What I regard as his brilliant music I can listen to a thousand times and it still moves something in me. I never tire of the opening notes of Tubular Bells no matter how many times I hear it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr 57 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Really enjoying Peter Green’s music. And I read he was here in Oz last year ? How much does his vocals and blues guitar style sound like EC ? No wonder he replaced EC in John Myall’s band. Any particular recommendations of his albums I should look for ? Love the blues ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Greenie fan here. Maybe I've been listening (and trying to play the guitar) too long, but find them quite distinct. EC to me is more aggressive (like Albert King) and PG much smoother and sweeter (like BB King). Nearly all the vocals on the Bluesbreakers albums are John Mayall himself. Eric didn't really sing much until after Cream. Key Peter Green start points would be John Mayall's Bluesbreakers "Hard Road" and Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits (the one from 1971). Also there are 2 other great and underrated guitarists (Jeremy Spencer & Danny Kirwan) in the Fleetwood Mac mix to confuse you!
