OT: Whatcha Listening To?

[Edge]

But he does have a classic or two. Pipes of Peace is a fantastic son.g

Revisiting his post-Beatles work as a whole, I was surprised by how many songs I pulled as standouts and favorites.

In my mind his stuff was a little more bubble gum than it turned out to be with a focused listen.

But I think his post-Anthology stuff is arguably some of his strongest. There's a certain maturity and reflectiveness to it, representing a man who has loved and lost, and has a lifetime of memories and thoughts.

Agreed. Though if I was to look at the Beatles as a whole, Harrison stands out as the best post-Beatles recognition

Harrison is my personal favorite, though he had long periods of inactivity. Of course, one of the consequences is that leaves listeners wanting more.

Right now, Time-Life's "Sounds of the Seventies" collection, ripped and being shuffled on my now obsolete iPod nano.

[Machinehead]

Finished Paul McCartney --- particularly liked Flaming Pie and Egypt Station from his latter work.

Moving on to Aerosmith.

Though I did take a break to procrastinate on work. Spent 10 minutes on YouTube listening/watching Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem.

Felt, string, and no CGI. Still better than most of the music (and TV shows) out there today.

I saw Paul live a night the Yankees were playing a playoff game and he was giving us score updates. Big pop when he announced that they won. Apparently, he's a big fan.

Don't know why it took me so long but I finally got into the Smiths last album and it has some of their best shit on it

Kinda glad I waited so long to go in on it

Going album by album with Billy Joel right now.

I’ve heard people say it’s their favorite. I honestly could never pick one.

Also, Idk if this would interest you, but in 1993 WEA reissued the entire Smiths discography on CD, and they sound great. Must have pressed a billion of them, you can find copies for around $3-7 online. Made in Germany, look for the 4509 at the beginning of the catalog #s.

The Sire reissues from the late 80s are good too, just a bit more expensive.

The Smiths - Meat Is Murder
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead

Any Morphine fans?

Any Morphine fans?

I'm a bass player so I was drawn to the strangeness of Mark Sadnman and how heavy this band was. I wasn't a huge fan but in the MTV 120 Minutes era I absolutely remember these guys. Honey White was a decent hit in the peak of 90s alternative music.

Solo or Attila too? I saw the Hired Guns movie last year. I enjoyed the film. I don't want to get into the dispute but Billy had a nice band back in the day. Always admired Liberty Devitto. Excellent drummer and someone I was able to bond with my music teachers over because they didn't want to hear about Lars Ulrich/Nick Menza/Mike Portnoy lol

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Always all over the place with music so lately it's been the new Czarface/Ghostface Killah album that was released this past Friday.

Inter Arma an extreme/experimental/jammy metal band that is on Relapse Records.

I finally have the X-Ray Spex Anthology which was a BDay present to myself.

My buddy highly recommended the Rosalia album. It's interesting so far.

Finally, I've heard a little of Sara Diamond, who sang the anthem last time the Rangers were in Montreal. Turns out she's a very talented RnB singer and has the 'futuristic" sound kind of like Kelela.

 

[BBKers]

Sigur. Ros. Pink. Floyd.

Nice birthday present.

guitar solos from dio's hear n' aid recording sessions.

 

[CommaSynapse]

Checking out Catfish and the Bottlemen. My girlfriend has been a big fan. Not bad at all. A little bit generic sounding at times. Trying to track down tickets for April at Brooklyn Steel for her birthday, but they sold out and the gougers are out in force.

52nd Street is peak Billy Joel IMO

Zanzibar is the best

Gotta listen to the unedited version from My Lives tho

 

[Machinehead]

Billy Joel is a New York institution.

Solo for now, but Attila might make its way into the lineup soon.

On a train listening to Ravi Shankar.

And the world is alright at the moment.

Who knows when it will actually come out (originally June 2018) but a new My Bloody Valentine EP has been in the works.

They're probably heavier than Bullet For My Valentine at this point.

Going through Keith Richards' solo stuff.

Surprised by how many songs have an island/reggae feel.
