sonderangerbot, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:15 (fourteen years ago)

yeah the other one is more common for whatever reason, but it's just wrong.

tylerw, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:15 (fourteen years ago)

^sweet drumming on that one

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:24 (fourteen years ago)

We can't make small comments anymore. They have to be essays on the sociopolitical implications of said sweet drumming.

The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:26 (fourteen years ago)

most records you buy w/ max roach on them are going to be good in my experience. he's like a trademark of quality.

tylerw, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:27 (fourteen years ago)

sweet drumming is righteous class war

mutant slow drum (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:28 (fourteen years ago)

that was my #1

Still as astonishing as ever.

The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:37 (fourteen years ago)

I'm not the only one who thought this might sneak in the top 10 right?

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:37 (fourteen years ago)

interesting cover there

I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:37 (fourteen years ago)

top 35=34 miles albums & love supreme

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:38 (fourteen years ago)

A great album, but it's swung from underrated to overrated in the past 10 years.

Moodles, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:38 (fourteen years ago)

i still remember hearing this for the 1st time in the mid-late 90s. I ordered it in via the library,it was in the big stores section of a library in east kilbride and hadn't been in the proper library for years so it was in great condition and it blew me away. Wish i had offered to buy it from them. Luckily it got a bit of a revival a few years back with that box and is now longer 'a lost classic'.

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:40 (fourteen years ago)

didn't realize this one was so regarded. pretty good album, nothing extraordinary. might have to reinvestigate tho.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:41 (fourteen years ago)

box set of jack johnson sessions is worth it imo, tons of great stuff. not that pricey these days either.

tylerw, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:42 (fourteen years ago)

Yes! Mine came with a spiritual hat.

Ooooh, this one's great.

The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:49 (fourteen years ago)

Great record, well chuffed it got in so high. I really recommend it to those who haven't heard it. Fantastic line up on it too.

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:50 (fourteen years ago)

1st one in top 50 I've never heard of. Never even heard of Andrew Hill. Get a more distinctive jazzy name imo.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:52 (fourteen years ago)

go listen to some andrew hill. he's awesome.

wmlynch, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:53 (fourteen years ago)

i havent listened to that one in a loooong time need to check again

one of the greatest cover arts

D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:54 (fourteen years ago)

so this would be a good entry point on him?

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:55 (fourteen years ago)

definitely

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:56 (fourteen years ago)

or Black Fire

Xgau's A+ is way too high.

Halal Spaceboy (WmC), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:58 (fourteen years ago)

he's had 4 in the list now and you couldn't go wrong with getting all 4.

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:58 (fourteen years ago)

will check it out, but if it's not marginally better than Jack Johnson I won't be responsible for my actions...

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 1 September 2011 21:59 (fourteen years ago)

the challop used to be that jack johnson was better than bitches brew, i kind of like it more personally, i agree that the swing back for Miles 70s records in general means that its hard to say its underrated any more

D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:03 (fourteen years ago)

it's more pleasant to listen to and ~groovier~ than bitches brew, but bb is more dynamic and colorful

mingus mingus mingus mingus

The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:12 (fourteen years ago)

thats my fav mingus -- its like 'ah um' amped up x1000

D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:12 (fourteen years ago)

you notice that there's not really been any huge jumps in points?
It's very very tight in the top 15, and 1 ballot could have changed the order.
The top are very close. And the winner didn't win by much at all. So good luck guessing the top 15 nevermind the winner..

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:18 (fourteen years ago)

There are some jumps in points though, and the top five all score over 3000.

I hope Derek Bailey's 'Aida' wins because LOL

yeah but the points go up gradually rather than jump

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:22 (fourteen years ago)

yay!

Red Hot Chili Peppers ‘I’m With You’ is a buffet of preposterous noise (crüt), Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:22 (fourteen years ago)

I think I'll take it through a bit more tonight so we can finish earlier tomorrow? I know some people have to leave work and miss the results. Or do you want to finish at #31?

Anyone for or against?

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:24 (fourteen years ago)

was Live In Berlin ’71 even nominated? :(

The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:24 (fourteen years ago)

anyone want to guess who had that at #1?

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:24 (fourteen years ago)

I think we should go down to #26

dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:25 (fourteen years ago)

yay. but i think we need some other than a poll co-runner to agree!
