Album of the week

Edit 👍

Edit: I mean, I always go back and check the poll after posting it... there were still a few more tweaks to make 🙂

Exactly! Uh, it’s gonna be tight. The Band is The Band! They absolutely have to be on my list. 🙂

Charles Ramos4's suggestions are great... and last week I really wanted to vote for Fleetwood, but that album just didn't sit right with me, even though everyone knows I love them.

Exactly. I haven't been actively listening to The Band lately, but because of that, I decided to watch that documentary by [(I think I wrote a whole rant about my experience with music docs on another thread a few months back, if not earlier) directed by Scorsese, and there was absolutely no question that it's a must-watch. 👍

Also, regarding those other suggestions... I already picked out my favorites back 🙂 It's gonna be interesting.

I don't usually do this, but here are my personal top five, including one absolute classic!

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Safely as Milk (1967)

Her eyes are a blue million miles

Great combo + an outfit perfect for self-isolation.
🙂

Honestly, the whole 'clear spot' is pure love...
And that first album! Man, that's basically a miracle.

They’re great because I'm playing it safe with established names. 😁 I should probably mention that I’m genuinely hoping "my" album ends up being the oldest one in this week's lineup once you throw Captain Beefheart at me. Though, I'm not even slightly upset about it—I was actually torn on who to vote for, and you've made my choice way easier with this suggestion. I've never listened to them before, but I can already tell I'll be spinning them regardless of how they do in the poll. They seem pretty interesting on a first listen.

Man, I’ve had such a rough week, but you guys suggested some seriously great albums. No matter which one ends up being my main theme, I’m definitely going to be spinning several of these over the next few days—and probably much later, too...

Dead Can Dance - Anastasis (2012) - I listened to them a bit more closely a few years back, but they didn't quite click for me then, so I haven't really revisited them since.

Cornelius Cardew – The Great Learning (2010) - I can't say it doesn't sound intriguing at times, but this is probably the furthest thing from what I usually listen to, so I might find it hard to connect with the sound.

Clutch - Blast Tyrant (2003) - I probably wouldn't have recommended them myself because I wouldn't even know which album to pick, but they are definitely one of my favorite bands—something I can always turn to.

KBO! – Forever Punk / Call 93 (1998) - Another really dear album; it takes me back about 10 or 15 years.

Raison D'Etre - In Sadness, Silence and Solitude (1997) - Based on the description, it didn't sound particularly tempting, but it actually doesn't sound bad at all; I'm just not in the right mood for it right now, but I'm definitely noting it down so I can come back to it.

All Them Witches - Lightning at the Door (2013) - Such a good band; I think this is the album I've played the least, so here's a chance to make up for it.

The Band - The Band/Brown Album (1969) - They've actually been on my "must-listen" list for a while now, so I guess I'll move them right to the top.

Liza Minnelli - Handbag (1992) - Oh, this is interesting too; women seem to be a bit underrepresented in these lists, so that's an extra plus for the suggestion. I'll definitely give it a listen.

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile (1999) - I don't think I've ever actually listened to this album all the way through; I'm not exactly crazy about the band, but I try to keep up with most of what they do.

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Safely as Milk (1967) - I was sold within the first 10 or 15 seconds of the track Sur'Nuff 'n' Yes, I Do.

🙂
Man! I am so jealous! (On a first listen, at least.) 🙂

Liza Minnelli - Handbag (1992) - Uh, well, this one's interesting too; women are kind of underrepresented here, so that's a bonus for the suggestion. I'll definitely give it a spin.

John, you gotta suggest albums more often. 😉 I remember that one time. You write great reviews and you caught us all off guard with your pace. It's not just that women aren't represented enough in the suggestions, it's that there just aren't enough suggestions coming from them...
🙂

Haven't listened to a single second of any of these albums. Honestly, I just can't be bothered (maybe I'm just too busy?)

But I threw my vote toward Dead Can Dance - Anastasis and whatever was last on the list, mostly because I caught a bit of their stuff a while back. To be fair, they're all solid in their own way 😛

Captain Beefheart and Clutch are the newest additions to the family! 👋

It’s about time I celebrated finally getting out of isolation tonight at midnight. I'm jumping straight into the topic—to be honest, I didn't think this would actually get through, but I'm glad it did. 👍

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (1979)

Man, I was just thinking about this one today... such a classic!
Just had to share.
