Five Essential Albums

[sylnau]

3. Pig Face (everything)

I like Feels Like Heaven a lot.

I had a really hard time weeding down to five...i really wanted eight:

8. Crosby Stills Nash and Young, 4 Way Street
7. Humble Pie, Performance: Rockin' The Fillmore
6. Fripp & Eno, Evening Star
5. Richard and Linda Thompson, I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight
4. Grateful Dead, Skull & Roses
3. U2, The Unforgettable Fire
2. Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Rust Never Sleeps
1. My Bloody Valentine, Loveless

[dubkitty]

in terms of my recording aesthetic, i was also heavily influenced by the early Rod Stewart solo albums, Gasoline Alley and Every Picture in particular...there's a number of tracks on those records that sound like a party, but when you look at the credits are revealed to be Stewart, a drummer, and Ron Wood overdubbing almost all the other instruments yet with everything recorded and mixed to give the organic feel of a live performance. I always cite "Cut Across Shorty" as the example: IIRC the entire track is Stewart, drums, one Martin Quittendon rhythm part, the fiddle player, and Woody on everything else.

No one said you were allowed to change the rules. Try again.

i already did five back on the first page

[dubkitty]

now be nice or i'll do 25

srsly, other folks stuck multiple artists/albums on one line. don't get all sexy-librarian on me alone...other people want some attention, too.

besides, i do lots of things nobody said i could do. it's something of a specialty of mine, in fact.

I feel like the vocals changed my idea of what heavy was

starflyer 59 - silver . well mr martin layered 18 guitar in some of the tracks and was my intro to the gaze
frantic mantis - data is not information . Punk rock mixed with modular synth madness and math rock-esque crazyness
frodus - and we washed our weapons at sea. crazy tunnings, awesome tones, screaming, drumming
minus the bear - menos el oso. looping / layers
mewithoutyou - catch for us the foxes. I always liked the tones and the fx usage
