My "one song" was an affectionate Portishead joke

oh lol

Fantastic. Great move. Well done (sic), Friday, 14 February 2020 21:22 (four years ago) link

Kraftwerk. OK Electric Café was a bit of a dud but apart from that they barely put a foot wrong

Talk Talk

A couple of quick thoughts - I was slightly surprised not to see Slint on the list of options. I may have missed some chat about entry criteria based on number of releases, but still...

And, while delving into some chat about Autechre's NTS sessions, and particularly re the chat about whether their track 'all end' was actually the end of them releasing music (spoiler - it wasn't), I did think that if they did end there that their legacy would be, for me anyway, not far off perfect. However, given the number of live shows that they have released, and the number which I haven't listened to (spoiler - nearly all of them) , it's difficult to stand by that. I still voted for them though.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Honestly it's either Talk Talk or Autechre

MAGIC

ORCHESTRA

they bridge a gap between styles and generations in the same way roxy music does

I don’t think I voted. Leaning towards Miles even though I’ve only heard like 1/4 of his catalog. And also leaning towards Funkadelic though I haven’t heard Toys and the two post-Electric Spanking records.

in the absence of YMO, i will choose kraftwerk.

what is the kraftwerk release(s) that do not apply? electric cafe? ok, but even on that there's gonna be a fight

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Nothing against Kraftwerk, I love those guys but can you imagine someone with true jazz chops on Electric Cafe.

Seriously though, I do love them but ~40% of their albums are of questionable flawlessness.

an you imagine someone with true jazz chops on Electric Cafe.

i'm not sure what this means!

Karl Malone, Friday, 13 March 2020 00:17 (four years ago) link

Pretty good tie for second. (I voted Sade.)

ref to recent Black Sabbath thread revival where calstars said Bill Ward didn’t swing enough or something

But it’s funny because the real answer to this is almost YMO, if you squint hard enough (techno pop with musicianly chops)

(Answer to what would be an imagined Kraftwerk with jazz chips I mean)

brimstead, Friday, 13 March 2020 00:26 (four years ago) link

the answer to most of the important questions in life is YMO

Karl Malone, Friday, 13 March 2020 00:31 (four years ago) link

Nina Nastasia--never heard of her. I knew I was out of touch, but--seven votes--didn't realize how much.

Trust me I’ve heard of Autechre for most of my adult IDM listening life and them getting the same amount of votes makes me feel even more out of touch

El Tomboto, Friday, 13 March 2020 00:52 (four years ago) link

Nina nastasia is one of the great, overlooked artists of the 2000’s. She was very prolific for awhile but dropped out of sight almost a decade ago (her last album was released in June 2010). She’s still out there playing shows and supposedly had something in the works awhile ago but haven’t heard much since. Really wonderful.

Just a reminder that my Roxy Music vote was intended to be a vote for RTX \m/
