I listen to a lot of music and I really enjoy doing deep dives on albums and exploring the soul of songs. I’m no musician but I love good music.



A few years ago I was involved with a record club group that would pick an album to listen to for a week or so and then connect to discuss it. Everyone had a different take. Some really dug into the DNA of the album, learning its history and personnel. Others analyzed the music and discussed how it sounded. Some folks loved the music, some did not. But it made for great conversation.



I always wondered if the GB could pull something like that off. What albums would people pick? Too eclectic and you lose interest. “This is Sparghar Fungible, they do retro shoe gaze whale song punk. The lyrics are in Quechua and the album is written in cryllic but the vibe will agitate your migraine.”

Too mainstream and it’s not interesting. Nobody wants to listen to Sgt Pepper or Dark Side of the Moon for a week. It’s been done.



So what album would you pick? Some hidden gem lying in plain view but overlooked or some obscure project by a genre defying band who recorded their whole album in the Bell Rock lighthouse?
 
New boots & panties by Ian Dury & the Blockheads?
Innovative guy with great, non-mainstream lyrics and a very hot backing band (The Blockheads)

Glad you like it. Bass player Norman Watt Roy is amazing. Listen to him on their most well known single; Hit me with your Rhythm stick.
Dury was a real showman; withered arm due to childhood polio, artist and poet too.
I'm a jazzer at heart and like the jazz influence in the piano and bass player
 
The lyrics on Billericay Dicky are so appropriate for this site I think

Just listening to this album while I drive and it’s a goddamn trip. There is literally no two songs alike.
Not just punk, and there’s some serious punk, but some big ass R&B funk, folksy stuff, old school rock jams, and even a lounge ballad.

I am just discovering Steely Dan. And they are opening a whole new world for me.
 
Once by Nightwish
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Blizzard of Ozz by Ozzy Osbourne
Soul Cages by Sting
Fallen by Evanescence
Sensual World by Kate Bush

I could go on. Dozens more, I'm sure.
 
Here are albums I’ve been told to listen to:

Station to Station - David Bowie
Electric Warrior -T Rex
Rubber Factory - the Black Keys
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - Flaming Lips
Something Else -the Kinks
 
Album clubs won't work now. Maybe later local music clubs could exist, when local culture replaces the internet. So this will most likely be another youtube music thread.

I like music from around the world, preferably with acoustic instruments. Throw almost anything in the thread. But I can't get into rap. A new music genre that could last for centuries is birthing almost on my doorstep and it doesn't sound like music to me.

Here's a video about music.

On the way home last evening, the "Love Her Madly" by the Doors came on and I was transported back to my High School days when I was riding my Schwinn Continental everywhere with that song as an earworm. The beat was perfect for pedal cadence. I still ride to earworms, but none are rap. When I was first MTB riding, the Walkman wore out the cassette containing the music to Top Gun. Then, there started to be more bears in the woods and so I discarded the Walkman for riding.

drummer Ginger Baker spent years studying African poly-rhythms. Brought them into rock and influenced most drummers to follow.
 
Anyone that doesn't own a copy of Dummy by Portishead needs to see a doctor immediately.

Also Lungs by Florence and the Machine.
 
I'm going to seriously age myself, but early Dr. Hook did some great music. The self-titled and Sloppy Seconds albums were awesome.
 
If you're up to deep diving into French music, I suggest listening to "Le fil" by Camille.
