Get into jazz or metal and you're golden here.

Thanks, friends.

I comment on Rock since it's my mood currently. But I really rejoined to find new stuff. Love metal, pretty into Jazz but I wouldn't say I have a favorite group like I would with other genres.

Loved: Go Go Penguin, the Bad Plus, Gnappy, really love Acid Jazz. Metal I tend to lean toward Power Cheese. Dragonforce, Hammerfall, but I listening to Arch Enemy and Children of Bodom when they moment is right.

I like what I’ve heard of The Bad Plus

What’s your top record by them?

And when I post things here I'm lucky to get 2 relies.
One of the best compliments I saw on the boards was someone said "I can rely on you to post a video I would thoroughly enjoy. You open me up to so much new music." (not exact words but something like that.) I think it would great if someone has so much musical knowledge that people can rely on them to discover new music.

The forum in it's halcyon days was the place to be cause it was a place where someone could rely on a member to file share an album he/she was looking for. But now there are so many music services out there MB lost that aspect. Then Music Banter went into critical mode, where all you can do it to critique music -- music that could be found on other sites like YT or Spotify. Somehow I think MB is past "critical mode" and is now in "conversational lounge mode." Perhaps "critical mode" and "conversational lounge mode" existed concurrently at the same time, it's just the music critiquing has faded into the background.

"These are the Vistas" was the record that hooked me. So I'll always say that's my #1. "It's Hard" being my #2. But I tend to listen to things like Spotify Radio because I want recs and a variety. I wouldn't say I'm an album guy generally.

I believe it was you, Neo, who once made the best rec I've ever had here. "The Owl Service" by Pram and iirc you played it in plug.dj to annoy me. And since I'm annoying, I loved it.

I don't know what this is.

Also, looking at my Most Played on Spotify, Brad Mehldau is a big artist for me. But I get the impression that's not going to be a big hit on these forums. I keep an instrumental playlist on Spotify I tend to dump whole albums on these days and just let it spin. If you want to try the list out and see what you find, here's the link.

I knew a guy who loved them, and I thought he was a super *******. Plus I've always associated them with the Phish crowd, right or wrong, and I just stayed away. Am willing to give up my past prejudices.

I hate Phish but yeah they run in the jam band crowd. Why not cheat and go with a compilation just to see:

Last Chance to Dance Trance (Perhaps): Best Of (1991–1996)

If you want a studio record instead I like The Dropper and Friday Afternoon in the Universe.

I associate them with Bad Plus but I don’t really know why.

Looking through MMW’s discography I’ve only heard a fraction of it tbh
