OT: The Semi-Annual, Taste Optional Music Thread: Post Your Mid-Winter Blues Music

I never listened to a lot of Zappa. This song plays over the end credits of Y tu mamá también. Without the intro it doesn't sound (to me) like it came from 70s Frank Zappa.

Fun album…played it a lot as a teen…

Zappa is the full and total bomb. I think he's one of a short list of folks that could honestly be considered as musical genius it's just that he chose to overlay his brilliant complex compositions with lyrics about snow with dog pee in it and using "Dental Floss" as a simile for growing pot.

If you ever want to be concurrently amused and a tad shocked listen to Bobby Brown Goes Down just....not when you're around other people.

@spcastlemagic did you see Taylor Allderdice, Wiz's best mixtape IMO, just launched on streaming? I kinda stopped listening to him after that in 2012 but that mixtape was dope

One of my favorites, the production is incredible, the songwriting on point. Wiz started to get lazy after that even if there are bright spots here and there.

Listening to a lot of '80s synth pop lately, not a genre I'm familiar with yet but the good stuff I really like.

This album had a great rep and lived up to it:

New King Crimson documentary.

Bleach was such a great album. I guess I like it more nowadays since it never got played out.

He has been unlistenable since TBH. But I am going through that album every day even if they had to swap out a couple of beats - couldn't clear samples. Like "Mia Wallace" was my favorite with the old beat but it is still pretty dang good.

I totally love Songs: Ohia.

I live in Florida now; but when I listen to Blue Factory Flame, I am immediately transported to the Great Lakes region

Ah yes, The Final Cut. My favorite of the Roger Waters solo albums and the one with the best backing musicians.

Saw this local band tonight and they were significantly better than expected:



Also, the video has higher production value than expected as well.

lol I ordered this album through what was an obscure UK recordes selling outlet called Cobb Records which was the only way you could order Western records to Eastern Europe. I waited infront of the post office every day until it came, ran home (along with my best friend back than), put the record on and listened for 24 hours straight.......

Not the record that Zappa freaks would die for but still better than just about anything you can hear nowdays...

Possibly inspired by recent hockey-related events.

Gabriel's last album with Genesis and the likely peak of Phil Collins as only the drummer. I'm not as huge into prog era Genesis as some but I do love this tune.

Also @BlindWillyMcHurt, sorry man, I know it's early but drinkie drink. Eno's on this album though possibly not this song. It's kind of argued over what his actual contributions are but it's generally accepted that a lot of the work he did was not credited because Tony Banks never wanted him involved in the first place.

But's it's NOON on a rando Wednesday!

Oh who am I kidding... I have a hidden bottle in the drawer here in the studio...
