These albums are basically the high gloss of what got me initiated in those genres back then. Mind you, though, these is actual a pretty mild selection. Dante hasn't seen shit in Inferno, compared to what can lurk in the depths of these orientations. :shifty:

People who judge others for their music tastes are totally silly, and frankly I think many music enthusiasts restrict themselves because they want to be perceived a certain way instead of simply respecting their own whims.

I've heard an absolute pile of music from a pile of genres, and I can still get excited to hear my favorite Taylor Swift song. :biggrin:

No tastes are bad tastes. We like what we like!

I found "Close to the Edge" on a jukebox at a Bowling Alley. I pissed off a lot of hip hop guys that night. "What the fuck is this shit?" "When it gonna end?"

It was. At the bowling alley that same night I played "Supper's Ready" (live). :dark:

I've also found "The Revealing Science of God." I played that at a Scottish-styled pub.

By the way, there's a name for the practice of selecting relatively obscure music on a jukebox. "Wyatting."

That's right- named after drummer and singer Robert Wyatt.

I like to play bagpipe music in public places. Like in the summer, I roll my car windows down & blast those pipes at red lights. LOL.

I do everything from Real Mackenzies to Queens Pipe & Drum Corps. One year my husband & took a friend of ours who was a Uilleann piper to the St Patricks Day parade/party in Butte,MT (they shut down the whole town. Little old ladies sell Beer at card tables in the street. Small children hand out green trinkets. They have shuttle buses from the hotels & motels to downtown; we used to go every year) and we would stand outside a packed bar, and he would start piping, and they would part like the waters of the Red Sea for the piper.

It was a beautiful thing :)

Sounds beautiful. We were on vacation in St. Mary's, Georgia during their 4th of July parade, and there was a piper. He seemed stunned when I approached him and said, "I enjoyed your rendition of 'The Clumsy Lover.'"

My brother is also a snare drummer in a marching band, and he plays at the Highland Games here in NC.

People are of two minds about pipes; either they love them, or they think it is an awful caterwauling. I never knew someone to be indifferent. My husband was a Fenian & a Hibernian. We had pipers at our wedding, and at his funeral. They are precious to me, and I don't often meet a kindred spirit! :hugs:

The first instrument I learned to play was the accordion, so I am well acquainted with love it or hate it instruments. I happen to love bagpipes, and most of the other instruments everyone else dislikes. The only one I really can't stand is melodica.

Now see, I am a HUGE fan of Gogol Bordello, which has a heavy accordion element. I don't love traditional accordion, like L. Welk, but I love a bit of rock/punk accordion! Can you point me to where I might have heard a melodica?

It never would have occurred to me to think I was here in a nest of pipe lovers all this time!

I've never been in a place with a jukebox. The bartenders or DJs are czars over the playlist in our restaurants and bars, and the selection is rarely surprising to my ears.

For accordion, I would recommend the classical-trained and contemporary-versed Teodoro Anzellotti. Of course, many of his recordings delve into modern music written for the instrument, but he has one or two albums, like this one containing transcriptions from Erik Satie, that should please any listener.
And of course, when it comes to accordion, you can't go wrong with Aranis. :ohyeah: Debut and II compulsory, the others are ok.

I loathe the bagpipes. A miserable instrument it is. Though I blame my hatred on bagpipes less on the instrument itself and more on the busker who used to sit directly outside my apartment every Saturday and play his goddamned bagpipes for eight goddamned hours, starting at 9 in the flipping morning. Which was only exasperated by my working 3rd shift at the time and not getting to go to bed until 7am. Closest I've ever gotten to premeditated murder.

That being said, as far as I'm concerned, the only artists who should ever be let near the blasted instrument are Godspeed and Neurosis.

Here's a particularly annoying melodica rendition of an already bad song. When played well, it can almost sound like a crummy accordion, but they are almost never played well.

Nowadays, when I think of bagpipes, I think of Alex and Annie's wedding.

Llama, Mongoose and I listened to Mike Oldfield's Ommadawn on the way back to the Dayton airport to cap off a really awesome weekend. Good times. :cloud9:

I took a week off. I'm back in the swing of it this week though. Yesterday I began listening to Bob Dylan's discography. I was pleasantly surprised that he never went softer than "Blowin' in the Wind." I was worried it would be Peter, Paul, and Mary type wussy folk nonsense but Dylan's sneer cuts through the accoustic stuff.

With the exception of "The Times They Are a Changin'" which is his insincere protest-folk record calculated to separate the hippies from their meager funds, Every one of Dylan's first 7 records is at least borderline brilliant.

I was pleasantly surprised that he never went softer than "Blowin' in the Wind." I was worried it would be Peter, Paul, and Mary type wussy folk nonsense but Dylan's sneer cuts through the accoustic stuff.
With the exception of "The Times They Are a Changin'" which is his insincere protest-folk record calculated to separate the hippies from their meager funds, Every one of Dylan's first 7 records is at least borderline brilliant.
I got through Blonde on Blonde today and can fully agree with you. The only album other than greatest hits is Highway 61 Revisited. One of my favorites and I had a hard time not giving it a perfect score.

Bob Dylan is among the few artists I never "bulk-listened" - although, upon reflection, this idea of mine to immerse in his music bit by bit is quite irrational - I doubt I reached 10 different albums of his in my count, thus far. Anyway, I'd agree with H61 being a masterpiece. The only other albums that really stuck with me were Freewheelin' and Blood on the Tracks, if only for the delirious epic Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts.

I think we should talk about what we like without denigrating what we don't by calling it names. Making fun of the listeners of some kinds of music discourages people from joining the conversation.

I happen to like folk music. I grew up with it, it is the soundtrack of my childhood.

I wasn't denigrating folk music. I like folk music. That is Dylan's own characterization of that album. He is on record saying he didn't mean a word of it, and was just doing it to get successful enough to play the music he wanted to play. I also happen to think it is not a very good album, but many of his other folk efforts (Freewheelin', self-titled, Another Side) are outstanding.

I think she's talking about my crack at Peter, Paul, and Mary. Sorry, S~V~S. I wrote in a flash and didn't think about how it might read to someone with different tastes. I will police myself better. I've gotten good about not bashing movie genres that aren't my cup of tea thanks to my movie reviews but it seems I'm still a loose cannon when it comes to my musical preferences. :blush:

I think there's room in a music discussion for people who like Peter, Paul & Mary and people who think they are wussy folk nonsense. Variety is the spice of life.

One thing I did notice is that a lot of Dylan's early stuff was covered by The Byrds. I knew they made a few covers (all inferior in my opinion) but I didn't realize just how repackaged they were.

Ture, but William Shatner's cover of Mr. Tambourine Man is transcendent.

I fell out of the habit for a bit but I'm making up for it by posting three sets today.

Bob Dylan's first nine albums (including most of his critically acclaimed work) were easy to find on YouTube. After that it was hit or miss. Some playlists had all but two or three songs and some albums are completely blocked. Very odd for a record label to keep the less successful albums off the internet but keep his famous stuff available. Anyway, here are the Dylan albums I was able to listen to:

Highway 61 Revisited

Blonde on Blonde
Bringing it All Back Home
The Times They Are a-Changin'
John Wesley Harding
Planet Waves


Bob Dylan
Another Side of Bob Dylan
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Nashville Skyline
Time Out of Mind
The Basement Tapes
Slow Train Coming
Shot of Love


Oh Mercy
Desire

Since I'm working off the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's member list, I went back to the early days of rock and listened to the works of Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens. Buddy Holly only had two albums of his own (plus one with the Crickets, which I've included in my list). Valens never released a full album while he was alive. Three albums of recorded material were released posthumously. Six albums made for two easy lists to work up:

Buddy Holly
Buddy Holly

The "Chirping" Crickets
That'll Be the Day




Ritchie Valens

My latest batch is for one of the architects of rock n' roll- Chuck Berry. Thanks to YouTube, I was able to check out all but one of his albums. He was great early on but he never managed to grow as a musician (my opinion). His later stuff felt mostly like retreads where he'd write new lyrics to his older songs or start tunes off with the same riffs but it was all still very listenable. Few of his bluesy tunes registered much with me either. The man is still alive (and turning 90 in October), so kudos to him for longevity.

I worked up a spreadsheet for all the artists in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and sorted them all by the date their first album was released (or first single/work published for the few who never recorded full albums). I'm going to go back to the earliest careers. For example, today I'm listening to a mix of Charlie Christian tunes. He never recorded any albums as a solo act or as a band leader. Mostly some good big band music. Next week I'm going to tackle an odd entry to the HoF- Miles Davis. He put out a lot of albums, so it might take me a while. I've found I can only listen to three or four albums a day and maintain adequate productivity at work because splitting focus on work and music requires me to replay tracks now and then.

I've also got a good list going for notable bands not in the Hall of Fame despite being eligible for a few years. I'll post that in another thread.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings

It took me a month and a half but I finished listening to Miles Davis' albums- 62 in all. If I missed any, blame Wikipedia. It was very inconsistent about the chronology of his albums and which ones counted as studio as opposed to compilations. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, though I found out early that there's only so much jazz music I can listen to in one day. Listening to Miles Davis did force me to reevaluate my scoring. Now I'm have to listen through everyone but Chuck Berry again to ensure the scores are still accurate. Some will change a little I'm sure.

You seem to like to good ol' bop, overall, compared to the period in which Miles decided to turn the music tits up.

His Electric period had some interesting parts to it but it ended up being equal parts interesting and Weather Channel music.

Also, no offense to the late Mr. Davis, but after listening to all these albums, I've determined that I prefer jazz saxophone to jazz trumpet. Sax is just a more colorful instrument to me.
