Enjoying Morcheeba. Don't know why I didn't start listening to this sooner, but this definitely fits the "upbeat and calming" vibe I have going on right now, thanks to HRT.

Glad you like them. Been a fan for some time. Ever listened to Air or Portishead or Spiritualized? Not clones but if a similar vein. You might also enjoy Over The Rhine. Different reasons for all of them but I think you'd dig most of it.

Like Portishead and like Over The Rhine. "Dummy" is in my top 10 all time favorites!

Saw Bob Mould at the Paradise in Boston Saturday night. Excellent show, but I'd forgotten how freakin' loud live music is, especially when you're only 15 feet away from the stage!! Some old, some new, a bunch from Copper Blue (opened with "Hoover Dam" which is a personal fav.)

He's the best. First saw him at axis when workbook came out.

Atlas: Space (instrumental version) - Sleeping At Last

My GF first got me into this album. I'm less of a fan of the vocals but the instrumental version is quite good.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

Norah: Little Broken Hearts

Dark album.

Mazzy: She Hangs Brightly.

Either way, Hope or Norah could read every name out of their phone to me and I'd hang on every word.

495 ― 519 ―..380..―..The Beach Boys - Sunflower
496 ― 488 ―..488..―..Husker Du - New Day Rising - This is fantastic. Kept me interested throughout every song. And nearly all of them were catchy. Surprising considering it's so out there. I need more. It seems tragic that they didn't have another album on here. Not sure if the rest of them just sucked or what.
497 ― 500 ―..000..―..OutKast - Aquemini
498 ― 503 ―..950..―..Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River

507 ― 489 ―..489..―..Kiss - Destroyer - This album is hilarious
508 ― 486 ―..486..―..Earth, Wind & Fire - That's the Way of the World - Hard to place this one too.* I generally don't like disco-era stuff but I recognize the album's quality
509 ― 485 ―..485..―..Pearl Jam - Vitalogy - I wanted to like this more. I just didn't think it was their best. I know someone is going to say, "OH THAT WAS THEIR ONLY ALBUM BEFORE THEY SOLD OUT." Roll eyes.
510 ― 495 ―..000..―..Bonnie Raitt - Give It Up
511 ― 510 ―..265..―..Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory

524 ― 493 ―..000..―..Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
525 ― 487 ―..487..―..Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual - Not as bad as I thought.* As I've mentioned before, 80s pop generally sucks hard.* Still not my cup of tea.
526 ― 505 ―..164..―..Linda Ronstadt - Heart Like a Wheel
527 ― 520 ―..384..―..Def Leppard - Pyromania
528 ― 514 ―..307..―..Roxy Music - Avalon
529 ― 490 ―..490..―..ZZ Top - Tres Hombres - I went in expecting to like this. It was awful. Just boring old white man rock. So generic. Edit: Even a month later I just can't believe how crappy this was compared to what I thought it was going to be. I'm questioning how I put Branded Man below this. One of the reasons I plan to re-listen to it all in order when I'm done.

537 ― 512 ―..283..―..Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
538 ― 532 ―..452..―..Madonna - Music


Status: 46 of 500+38 albums

Note: I'm also skipping most of what I consider anthologies or "best ofs" unless they're from an era where there were essentially no albums. For example, see Robert Johnson.

Flip Your Wig is their best album. That's why these lists are always dumb. :)

I don't disagree. I think a lot of lists are generally garbage. This list is clearly drenched in white male rock, but I think that I have to start somewhere. It's just an interesting experience to go through them. I have a spreadsheet to track all this (yeah yeah, save your laughs) and added Colin Larkin's lists for each of the various genres. That should help get more diversity into the lineup when I'm done with RS.

I'll take your recommendation though and add it to my other non-RS queue. Appreciate that.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

That's The Way of The World was well before disco. It's a pure soul/R&B record.


And She's So Unusual is a great record. Had that in my car tape deck constantly when it first came out. Yes, in the days of vinyl, but the first side is as good a side of music you could ever ask for. Second side is a little weak, but the strength of the first side made up for it. Her version of Money Changes Everything whips the original's azz handily.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

I meant anything from the mid-70s. I just don’t like music in general from the mid-70s to the late 80s even going into there first few years of the 90s depending on the genre.
