Big swirly dreampop guitars, angelic harmonies, long greasy hair and a drum sample from "When the Levee Breaks."
I am so easily pleased...
Cross-post... whoa...
I was telling Goldrush to DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE. If Chapterhouse want to help, they're certainly welcome to!

This thread remains hilarious.
Revive because I've been wtching old Ride videos and listening to the Today Forever EP.
Better that than starting the requisite Ride polll...
Ha ha, the old feud with Truck that got dismantled and burned for firewood in the end, how sweet. ANd all those posts were prior to meeting Mark Gardener down Sonic Cathedrals. What a sweetie! The twinkliest eyes in pop, as well.
― Masonic Boom, Monday, 4 June 2007 12:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Answer to thread: 'Howard Hughes', closely followed by 'Leave Them All Behind' and then 'Grasshopper'. Or maybe 'Dreams Burn Down'. Or 'Today'. The top 2 are definitely set in stone.

I've changed my vote to Today Forever. The video EP and all that. Like Rave Music with Rickenbackers. God, I want a rickenbacher.
― Masonic Boom, Monday, 4 June 2007 12:49 (sixteen years ago) link
"Nowhere" always.
― Pashmina, Monday, 4 June 2007 12:56 (sixteen years ago) link
"Dreams Burn Down" is really magnificent. That wall of guitar in the chorus was especially effective live, oh MAN.
― Trayce, Monday, 4 June 2007 12:56 (sixteen years ago) link
though I have to say really really early Ride live stuff tat I watched this weekend, Drive Blind was just amazing, with this crazy bottleneck slide and feedback solo in th emiddle them they segued straight back into the riff without missing a beat. how much do I love tis band?
Today Forever wwas where the early noisy stuff merged perfectly with this sort of floating cocteau ethereality.
(plus there was that bit in the video where Mark and Andy were singing so close together it looked like their noses were almost touching and you just wanted them to turn aroud and give each other a big snog and ... whooo, I think that's the painkillers talking! Never mind me.)

They were a lot better live than than the other shoegazers too. They used to pound the hell out of their guitars - like a pre pubescent stooges or something.

On record: either Seagull or Close My Eyes.
Live: either Seagull or Chelsea Girl.

The 1992 Reading festival footage on You Tube is insanely good. Yes, they really WERE that great live. Best live band ever, in my opinion. I wish I still had all my cassette tapes of shows from 1991...but that's probably because god hates me. Please email me if you know how to get hold of shows from them from 1991. Thanx much.

Leave Them All Behind. It's like a shoegazed Who's Next being mashed with a 90s boy band. This was a good thing though!

here and now
― Charlie Howard, Saturday, 14 July 2007 06:47 (sixteen years ago) link
I was just going to say, as much of a fan of Ride as I am, it doesn't bother me at all that some folks choose Leave Them All Behind as their favourite. The first time I heard that was seeing them do it live, and it's a very special memory for me. It wasn't available on CD or record yet at the time and it was supposed to be this new hint or dawning of where they would go next, musically. But it didn't quite turn out that way.
xpost Howard - I think you are right, I have not yet pulled out Here & Now and it has got to happen right now, no pun intended.
― Bimble, Saturday, 14 July 2007 06:50 (sixteen years ago) link
And if Seagull isn't the second coming of your own psychedelic Jesus, I'd like to know what is.
― Bimble, Saturday, 14 July 2007 06:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Today (the song) always sounded brilliant live but never came across as well on the ep. Been listening to OX4 alot recently too...
― flowersdie, Saturday, 14 July 2007 11:37 (sixteen years ago) link
Ride! Such a get start and then to so quickly lose the plot. First ep's and Nowhere still classic though.
― leavethecapital, Saturday, 14 July 2007 14:45 (sixteen years ago) link
I remember liking Ride during their heyday but I couldn't tell you what a single song of theirs sounds like.

Loud and fuzzy and sugary. A compliment.
