i feel like both those mclagan ones could be 70s in a stiff records way.

and damn that dan fogelberg cover is bleak! it must be CD-era, i've never seen it on vinyl. looks like a bob mould cover.

scott seward, Thursday, 1 February 2024 18:06 (two years ago)

It’s from 1984

Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Thursday, 1 February 2024 18:09 (two years ago)

XP Troublemaker was a '79 release, so yeah...

Really surprised that Fogelberg cover is from 1984. He was really prescient — that looks like something that would have been sold exclusively at Starbucks in the late 90s.

Undercurrent by Bill Evans and Jim Hall always freaks me out for it's 4AD/hauntology vibe. How many 1962 albums, jazz or otherwise, had *no* text on the cover. Even Vaughn Oliver woulda stuck some Bodoni on there in 1985.

bendy, Thursday, 1 February 2024 20:45 (two years ago)

The closest thing I could find to James Last going full 80s:

that picture of robert fripp in the thumbnail, is he trying to ape the cover of "court of the crimson king"?

I could have sworn we had a thread back in the day about prog rockers going New Wave but I can’t find it now

Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Friday, 2 February 2024 15:52 (two years ago)

There was this one: 1981 = year of 70s dino rockers w modren/wavo comeback LPs but that was all I could find that was relevant on the first three pages of a search of "Gaskin", a name I reckon would surely come up in this context and not many others.

we did think it was the end of the world back then too. kenny was one of the signs.

scott seward, Friday, 2 February 2024 16:25 (two years ago)

man that 1981 thread is nostalgia just for how old it is let alone the subject matter. me and chuck and geir and bimble and the gang. papa wheelie. 14 years feels like a pretty long time.

scott seward, Friday, 2 February 2024 16:27 (two years ago)

xpost to Tim F, yes, that’s the one I was thinking of.

"Vox Humana" and Lindsey's "Go Insane" and Roger Hodgson's "Had A Dream (Sleeping with the Enemy)" all take up the same spot in my memory.

Say what you want about their 1980s jackets and haircuts and physiques, the Monkees were surprisingly progressive for their time.
