Ryan Power. The great unheralded prog-pop genius of our time, and I don't think I've seen him mentioned here once.

The entire Kerri Chandler thread is about 80 percent single-post revives by me.

Just had a quick spin through 'Slap!' - yeah, lots of it has not aged well at all. This one track though still sounds great, as long as you skip over the bits where they are singing / talkinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S3enZlLLNM

i have never stopped playing the first two Doves albums since they came out and sometimes i wonder if anyone still plays them at all. i mean people might have liked them when they came out but they feel kinda forgotten. i never get tired of them.

Some Cities is a fantastic record, scott. I will rep pretty hard for that one.

i never got into that one as much. i've never even heard their fourth album. those first two though...

I'm the same, Scott, still rate those first two Doves albums highly and pretty much fell off with the third which I found quite bland. Recently, I listened to the fourth album to see if I'd missed anything and hadn't really. I like the production on those first two LP's a lot.

Revolution by Chumbawamba is an absolute classic anarcho-punk single but I'm not a big fan of their later stuff. I still have a soft spot for the Anarchy album but that's probably because I was 17 when it came out.

for the record I fucking love Chumbawamba all the way up to the Un album and sporadically after that

Kenrick Lamar, Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, New Order. all great music that ILM hates for some reason.

I like(d) that one Thievery Corp album, but ILM shamed me out of listening to them any further.

I can't stand High Llama or any Stereolab from Dots and Loops onward, mostly I guess because I love the Neu! rip-off stuff so much

a lot of the 50's era seems, I don't know, taken for granted?There are 4-5 threads on the Everly Brothers, but rarely are these top page.maybe there isn't much new to say, but I'm still blown away every time I listen to them or Little Richard or Buddy Holly etc

I'm not sure if most ppl (including/especially myself) really have an adequate vocabulary for talking about '50s music, without it turning into just a recitation of facts, historical notes, etc. There's something sui generis about that era which makes it distinct from most of the rest of rock/pop/etc. I could be totally wrong.

Like - I love Bo Diddley, but I'm not I've ever tried to talk/write about his music, or would know what to say. I'm sure there are others who are much better at it than me.

i always feel like ppl should be talking about little richard way more than they do. his classic original stuff feels so revolutionary and subversive and incredible every time i hear it, like it never feels even remotely dated to me. but i think the only time i see him talked about is, like, when ppl do those "100 moments that changed rock" lists. maybe it is just hard to talk about what makes those records so great.

Haven't seen much praise for BT on here, especially for his more recent stuff, but he's still making great music. You just have to be selective about what you listen to
― Vinnie, Thursday, 5 April 2018 00:53 (six years ago) link
Considering his name is two letters and his latest album is called _ maybe he’s just hard to search for
You’re right though. He’s a goober but he’s got crazy talent. I thought that Opus album he did a couple years ago was hilariously overblown. I loved it.
