Oooohhhh. Some nice stuff chosen already; Pixies and New Order showing strongly in the early stages. Well done Y&Y forumites!
I'll throw in various Eno/Foxx stuff as the major effect on life because it was the soundtrack of a change from mainstream to non-mainstream and in turn lead to stuff like the Go Betweens and The Triffids, which many here will never have heard of. They are very much borne of their landscape so they may not travel well. I do feel sorry for musos; there seem to be an amazing number of incredibly dedicated and hardworking amateurs who do wonderful stuff but never get anywhere with it, as far as popular acclaim and sales. Being married to a former professional viola player whose sister is a Berlin-based opera correspondent I get to meet quite a few top class classical musos who are very nice even to a cloth-eared person like me, whose attempts at singing in the shower make dog howl, cars collide and colours clash. They are very far from the (AFAIK) popular image of toffee nosed divas. Edited by Chris 249 - 02 Feb 14 at 11:47am |

Having viewed this thread, I am heartened by the diversity of tastes. There's some great stuff mentioned:
Stones, I would go with Tumbling dice. Led Zep, great tracks chosen. Who, not sure if anyone has mentioned then but Who's Next being a brilliant Stand Alone non concept album of genius. Sonja Kristina, saw her on Hastings Pier a few times with Curved Air Pink Floyd, Anything off Dark Side, in fact anything by them. Eric Clapton, anything from Layla. CSNY Grace Slick and Paul Kantner, Baron Von Tollboth. Joni Mitchel, Blue. Jefferson, either incarnation. So Many to choose from but I would slip in some more obscure stuff for old time sake....Maybe some Amon Duul, Wolf City perhaps. ..all totally subjective though. I count myself fortunate in that my formative teenage years were during the great music era of the late 60's early 70's........Artist had more influence on what was produced and less so the labels. IMO

I don't have any Go-Betweens in my collection (I know of them) aside from The Wedding Present's sublime cover of 'Cattle & Cane' ... but The Triffids? - 'Calenture' is one of my go-to albums for just kicking back in the conservatory watching the world go by

Hmm frankly I'm astounded, I'd expected a lot more George Formby, Russ Conway & Winifred Atwell..

Not all songs I even own any more, but ones which have meant something to me at various points in my life - usually on a cheap non-walkman - and have stayed with me.
Abba - SOS Aerosmith - Rag doll Quaterflash - Grace under fire Blue Oyster Cult - Dr Music Bruce Springsteen - Born to run Animals - We've got to get out of this place Mary Black - The thorn upon the rose Dixie Chicks - Not ready to make nice As others have said, it would probably be different in an hour. Maybe even have some more modern stuff in it. |
