Un-Grateful Thread - What Are You Listening to Instead of the Dead?

I used to listen to the Residents in college to lull me to sleep at night, had crazy dreams later of course !

 

I have most of his albums, but I'm missing a couple from the 80's (his least interesting period).

I only have a couple of their albums.
I'm not very fond of their vocal work. Instrumental extravaganzas are generally welcomed, but I'm more traditional when it comes to vocals.
I can enjoy them conceptually, though.

 

Another favorite album of mine by any artist. Even the bonus tracks are perfect.

 

It seems ironic being that he is not connected with it at all, seemingly. Still though, I feel like his influence
from the first few albums is draped all over Stranded. It is one of my picks from their catalog as well.

 

I can't help getting goosebumps when I listen to "Strange Fruit". Thankfully, Commodore didn't give a damn about the reactions of racists and let her record the song in 1939 (we can't say the same about Columbia).
Even though my favorite Lady Day is the post-war one, this is a great period in her career.

 

Soft Machine Two
Third

 

...I’ve been on vacation from the job for a week now, go back Monday (booooo) and I’ve gone through the Oh Sees discography about six times in that week. A killer body of work. Creatively all over the place, but flows nicely one after the other. In any order. One of my favorite bands still killin it. @bzfgt knows


NP:
...makes a nice extended album together (from the same sessions).

nice one, Dave.

 

Tool, Fear Inoculum

Whoa....

 

love it.

 

Excellent old school California country music.



Rockabilly boogie from '49. To me, this is more rock n roll than Bill Haley five years later...
I think that might be a 16 year old Roy Nichols playing the guitar. He later played with Merle Haggard in the Strangers.

 

First Mingus album for Atlantic. Highly recommended. If I weren't typing on a cell phone, I would add more details.

 

... “Whoa” Indeed...enjoy the ebb n’ flow.

 

...we’ll wait. I always enjoy your thoughts on the matter.

I've never been much interested in the Davis/Evans collaborations, but I like this album, technical flaws and all.

 

Loretta Lynn. She was fabulous in the 60s. Iconic country singer, great songwriter!
