Just to name a few

Paul Simon, Surprise: This is a candidate for Album of the Year. Aptly named, featuring "sonic landscaping" by Brian Eno. I can't speak highly enough of the result at this time. Ineffably beautiful. Truly surprising.

Blur, Parklife: I've been a fan of "This is a Low" for some time, and finally got around to the Lp. "To the End" is one of the coolest songs I've heard from the band.

Mastodon, Blood Mountain: I can't speak highly enough of this band. Everything that annoys me about other "heavy metal" bands (e.g. P.O.D., Puddle of Mudd, System of a Down, &c.)? Mastodon avoids all of the traps (e.g relationship songs, post-grunge introspection, &c.) Saw 'em live a couple weeks ago at the Showbox in Seattle; super-tight, massive sound, thoroughly impressive. I remembered why people do drugs. Leaving the show, I felt high mostly because of the brutality of the sound. Having not entered the pit, I still felt exhausted simply having withstood the signal onslaught. As to more obscure, "truer" forms of heavy metal? I generally don't get into the uber-masculine shout-and-growl style, but those bands need to learn to play. Not that I would knock them specifically, but it's a long way to go before they match Mastodon.

"Bridge of Sighs" was one of the greatest albums of that era. It's a shame he was not able to follow it up, but that was a common phenomenon. And still is, look at Guns 'n' Roses.

Alot of the stuff i list here is new to me including that one. It still is common to make one supreme masterpiece, I think the 60's, 70' and 80's were as good as it can get for music.

Spinning vinyl tonight because some music needs
the hisses, pops & crackles to make it real…
  • Gram Parsons ~ Grievous Angel ~ 1974
  • Van Morrison ~ Astral Weeks ~ 1968 (still don’t like it)
  • Mason Proffit ~ Bareback Rider ~ 1973
  • Brewer & Shipley ~ Tarkio ~ 1971
:m: Peace.

That twelve-year period from 1963 to 1974 that we call "the 1960s" was notable for the sheer volume of good music. In my opinion it was simply because the fans were more musically oriented and expected more. It seemed that half the people in America could play a guitar. We actually sat and listened to music for hours on end. We could tap our feet in 11/4 time to Rush or keep our feet still for the poetry of Leonard Cohen, we had the attention span to appreciate the thematic dynamics of an opus by Quicksilver or Genesis, and we were happy to lose ourselves in a trance created by the Dead or Tangerine Dream.

Ditties, love songs and dance anthems always have an allure and no one apologized for liking "Summer Breeze," "Danny's Song" or "Honky Tonk Woman." But adventurous and diverse music was more widespread than it is today.

Nonetheless, it's still out there.

I agree, but even the '80s had alot of originality.

Jack Knife cries 'cause baby's in a bundle
She goes running nightly, lightly through the jungle
And them tin cans are explodin' out in the ninety-degree heat
Cat somehow lost his baby down on Bleecker Street
It's sad but it sure is true
Cat shrugs his shoulders, sits back and sighs
OOh, what can I do, ooh, what can I do?
OOh, what can I do, ooh what can I do?

anyone???
