Crowded House/Split Enz, the former being the greatest pop band of all time (if my opinion was gospel). Also including Neil Finn solo albums and Finn Brothers albums. I am less familiar with Tim Finn's solo work.

Time on Earth (Crowded House)
Woodface (Crowded House)
True Colours (Split Enz)
One Nil (Neil Finn)
Intriguer (Crowded House)
Everyone Is Here (Finn Brothers)
Time and Tide (Split Enz)

Crowded House (Crowded House)
Try Whistling This (Neil Finn)
Conflicting Emotions (Split Enz)

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
If you want rabbit hole descending, I posted on RYM back in 2010 (... wait, almost six years ago? fock! my life, I want it back ) with a list I had written on a blog, with what I called "oddities" of avant-garde, nu free jazz, experimental and electroacoustic nature. 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.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.
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).JaggedJimmyJay wrote:The entire song was on a jukebox?
I've also found "The Revealing Science of God." I played that at a Scottish-styled pub.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.Epignosis wrote:Love me some pipes.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.'"S~V~S wrote:I do everything from Real Mackenzies to Queens Pipe & Drum Corps.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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!

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?thellama73 wrote:The first instrument I learned to play was the accordion, so I am well acquainted with love it or hate it instruments.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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. Debut and II compulsory, the others are ok.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.G-Man wrote: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.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.thellama73 wrote: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.G-Man wrote:I took a week off.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.S~V~S wrote:I think we should talk about what we like without denigrating what we don't by calling it names.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.

Re: Rainbow Album Rankings
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.G-Man wrote: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.
