I remember getting Badly Drawn Boy's debut in 2000 and saying to myself "We'll hear about this guy." Pop-folk w/ an earthy quality, traces of melancholy, humour and beautiful, clever arrangements. Reminded me of Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, even Lennon w/ a touch of Beck. Lovely LP
Almost exactly a year after the release of his solo Freedom LP, Young delivered Ragged Glory, this time with Crazy Horse. In my book, both albums are first-rate with Young's biting guitar sound returning and dominating this strong collection of tunes. Still potent 34 years later.
The Nits are another band that, IMO, don't get enough love. Quirky, witty, highly literate & melodic. I talked about their gorgeous Ting LP a few yrs ago. Still listen to it quite often. For newbies, I highly recommend this 2000 comp. Great entry point into their imposing catalog
I've talked about most of The The's albums. Matt Johnson is a creative individual and Burning Blue Soul 1st appeared as a solo LP. Some of the experiments here don't quite work. Matt has made better LPs (Infected, Mind Bomb, Dusk) but this remains an intriguing artifact for fans.
Wasn't expecting that many ppl telling me who their fav Aussie bands were. But it's great! And, of course, there are more than 3 good bands from the Land Down Under. I count dozens. Including Hoodoo Gurus. Discovered them in '89, saw them live. Fav LP remains their superb debut.
I talked about great Aussie bands a few weeks ago and mentioned The Triffids and The Go-Betweens. I must add The Church to the list. They've released several first-rate LPs (Blurred Crusade, Heyday, etc) but my personal fav remains Starfish. Yes, the one with Under the Milky Way.
Just a few days before The Beatles released Let It Be, Elton delivered his sophomore LP. Overall better than his debut w/ majestic, lush string arrangements and 2 bona fide classics (Your Song, Take Me to the Pilot). He's made even better LPs but his "classic period" starts here.
The Blue Nile are so underrated. Esp. here in America. One of my all-time fav pop bands. Every yr, I spend an evening listening to their 4 studio LPs. If Walk Across the Rooftops and (especially) Hats are their masterpieces, Peace at Last + High are also top-notch. Talented band.
Comes a Time. Certainly not Mr. Young's most celebrated work of the '70s but it's a solid album. The sound is intimate, acoustic w/ country elements, the lyrics more personal. But the lovely vocal harmonies (feat. the late Nicolette Larson) are what makes this LP really special.
Once in a while, I love to spend an evening listening to Jimi's music. Just that. From the tight version of Howlin' Wolf's Killing Floor to the (literally) incendiary cover of Wild Thing and the bright Like a Rolling Stone, Monterey is (still) quite an astonishing performance.
Even more than Mellow Gold, One Foot in the Grave is raw, lo-fi, proudly disheveled and charmingly scruffy. Sb lent me the album on tape and said "You'll love it!" I did. Sounds like a demo : short tunes influenced by blues + folk. But it's Beck's personality that shines through.
I remember when I 1st heard The Boss' debut at my scout summer camp in the mid-'80s. A guy brought Jethro Tull LPs. And this. Oh. The 1st notes of Blinded by the Light. A coming-of-age experience. Nobody ever mentions the sense of humor of this album but it's one of its strengths
My brother (who was a Kiss fan) didn't like Blondie. I think he just hated the name. I loved 'em back in the '80s-'90s. Especially their early releases… and their fine debut. A 50s-60s pop sensibility in a '70s new-wave/punk context. All the ingredients are here. And it works.
Reed's Edgar Allan Poe "concept" LP is certainly… intriguing. After a handful of half-hearted affairs, I love the energy of this project and the fact that Lou is clearly passionate abt it. There are good ideas and it's varied (if overlong and uneven, esp. the 125 mins edition).
I've talked about every single Talk Talk LP (plus Mark Hollis' solo album). So what's left? This comp. Didn't have it in my collection. Got it yday for a few bucks. Great introduction… The only minor quibble is that it doesn't include songs from the excellent Laughing Stock LP.
Fav LP released in March : Kim Gordon's The Collective. Listened to it a lot. Heavy, hypnotic, sometimes quite abrasive, beats w/ noises, distorsion, often flirting w/ avant-garde music. Remarkable that at almost 71, Kim's still hungry, interested in exploring new sonic palettes.
Dan, my childhood friend was a huge Cure fan and it's him that got me into the band in the early '90s. We thought that Boys Don't Cry was their debut but later learned it's actually a compilation. In any case, we listened to BDC. A lot. Good stuff. Accuracy was a highlight for me
I've had this one in my collection for decades but it never left much of an impression on me. Listened to it again recently and, gotta admit it, it's a pretty good Collins-lead Genesis LP… but not as great as Trick of the Tail (released 10 mths earlier). What do you think of it?
I never quite know what to say about The Black Rider. It's a mess. But a beautiful, ambitious, fascinating mess. Yes, there are a few worthwhile tracks, here and there. But most of the times, I find myself reaching for the remote control and using the "skip" button. Cacophonous.
The Sugarcubes' 1st album, Life's Too Good, was such a revelation. I talked abt it so many times. Never liked their 3rd (and final) LP but Here Today… is quite good (esp. the Icelandic version). True, it's not as fresh as LTD but there are many tracks I enjoy: Regina, Pump, ...

@turnitup211off fun fact - he started out gigging at my local,the kings arms in salford,ace songwriter!
@turnitup211off Gosh - I really love this album. It’s just wonderful. Also, his ‘About a Boy’ record - lovely music 🎼🎵❤️
@turnitup211off Fantastic album! The Shining and Once Around the Block are in my regular rotation. Very talented artist. 🎶🥰🌏
@turnitup211off Such a perfect album. Got to see him live and then meet him backstage at a small venue in Toronto that same year. Lovely man and great show.
@turnitup211off Tony Bennett had to pull out of Glasto 2000 at the last minute. BDB replaced him on one of the main stages and stuck the emergency landing with aplomb. This album came out two days later. Rushed straight out to get it.
Say it again…
I remember getting Badly Drawn Boy's debut in 2000 and saying to myself "We'll hear about this guy." Pop-folk w/ an earthy quality, traces of melancholy, humour and beautiful, clever arrangements. Reminded me of Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, even Lennon w/ a touch of Beck. Lovely LP
@AtlJohnS @turnitup211off Song came to my head today from years ago mate, Spear of Destiny... 'im so in love with you' what a tune btw 👍
@turnitup211off And folks If you take a look out the right side of the plane You see a cloud that looks exactly like Badly Drawn Boy... Oh my god...Dude...That really does look just like him... That guy's everywhere
@turnitup211off Once Around the Block is one of my all time favourite songs.
@turnitup211off Still listen to it. An absolute gem of a record that hasn't aged.
@turnitup211off I first heard about him on UNKLE's 1998 LP Psyence Fiction. His track on that album is incredible.
@turnitup211off Beautiful album … and played by my youngest son on Alexa every night as he falls asleep
@turnitup211off One of my all time favourites. It's beautiful and profound and daft. It's a very masculine and emotional record, but never sentimental or mawkish. I was mesmerised by Once Around the Block, but this album spoke to me very deeply. Wonderful.
@turnitup211off So weird, so went back to this today after years, before seeing this
@turnitup211off Saw him in DC - great show! The opening act was a poet. @930Club
