I can accept these terms. I usually reach for Screaming Life/FOPP more often than Ultramega OK, but it's a collection of EPs so I will let this slide.

84. Alvin Lucier - I Am Sitting In A Room (1981) Quote:
what happens is amazing...slowing but surely all humanity leaves his voice and pure resonance takes over...creating an ambient texture unlike any you've ever heard which progressively get deeper and deeper i'm not saying that this is an album you're going to go bumping while cruising with your friends...but if you really love music the way i love music...the way many of the people here love music....this is a wonderful experiment as to way frequencies and in particular resonance....effect us a real must for anyone interested in the science of sound and the psychological effect of music |

85. The Psychedelic Furs - Talk, Talk, Talk (1981) Somewhere before 80s/90s' shoegaze and Britpop and after the 60s' Beat and 70s' Punk groups came The Psychedelic Furs, moody and magnificent. A band that molded their own sound with a raspy vocalist singing over a phasey guitar and bluesy sax. The music: sheer genius, it will knock you off your feet, and you will need a muscle man to pick you off floor. The lyrics: they're making up things like we all heard before like romance, engage and divorce. Don't dismiss it because the opening track is associated with John Hughes movie of the same title. 86. R.E.M. - Murmur (1983) R.E.M. had a sound that was their own: a singer with a pocketful of mumbles whose droning vocal only allowed you to catch a glimpse of what his lyrics meant, and whether or not it was significant you felt it was. A well blended sound with a mixture of a little bit of everything: Country, Folk, Post-Punk, Post Modern Rock, Surf, 60s & 70s Rock. Even with their own distinctive style every song has it's own personality: urgent, laid-back, moody, mysterious, thought provoking. Radio Free Europe, Talk About the Passion, Perfect Circle, 9-9, all classics.

87. Swing Out Sister - Kaleidoscope World (1989) Another personal favorite, but I don't pick 'em lightly. Really potent and at times exhilarating blend between 60's & 70's pop-soul with the whole New Romantic "sophisti-pop" sound that was characteristic of the latter 80's. I wouldn't even bother bringing it up unless the songs were really, really good...but they are. You guys are in for a treat if you like the aforementioned genres, Burt Bacharach-esque orchestral pop, etc. and haven't heard this one.

Without question the first three Warrior Soul albums:
1990's 'Last Decade Dead Century' 1991's 'Drugs, God, and the New Republic' 1992's 'Salutations From The Ghetto Nation' In short order: this band should've EXPLODED the way Rage Against The Machine did! I think they're arguably one of the most important American rock bands of the 90's that unfortunately nobody has ever heard of, at least in my area. If you like Rage's scathing social commentary Warrior Soul will be up your alley as well, hopefully. Gen X's best kept secret, sadly ( ). |

I absolutely love that minor threat album. The minor threat EP is great from start to finish, but my favourite song out of step(with the world) on the In My Eyes EP(that version is a lot better than the actual Out of Step one). Last edited by Dylstew; 08-30-2014 at 02:36 AM. |
