JohnnyoftheWell
03.25.21 | Shoulda picked Nocturn from that Kate Bush, what a bloody stunner (inb4 zak)
Great AnCo and Nat picks, bit of a rogue choice for Takk but most defs a pretty one |
DoofDoof
03.25.21 | Thanks Johnny, I much prefer Side B of 'Aerial' as I guess I'm not a huge fan of Kate Bush in general and that suite is so different, takes me somewhere else. 'Nocturn' is good though, but not quite a classic for me.
The Takk song was always what the whole album built up to in my mind but I know it isn't the most loved on there, 'Gong' is probably my 2nd favourite. |

03.25.21 | Indeed John. Best thing of the decade is sky of honey
Richard Hawley - The Ocean.
Music commoditised by this point.
Icons no longer existed.
Gigs became credit card enabled bollocks for wankers.
As for the footy? 🗑
Aerial really is head and shoulders above the rest.

03.25.21 | Zak I couldn’t class Sky of Honey as a 40 minute single song (it’s clearly multiple songs interlinked) but if I had it would be 2nd for 2005, only behind Banshee Beat in this list |

03.25.21 | Banshee bleedin beat.
|
DoofDoof
03.25.21 | I’m probably off with this but I prefer the similar ‘Open Up Your Door’ to Hawley’s ‘The Ocean’. Both classsic though |
theBoneyKing
03.25.21 | More great picks as expected.
“Saeglopur” is my Takk pick, I know that’s kinda the normie one though. Title track would be my Sufjan pick but your choice is a close second. |
DoofDoof
03.25.21 | Banshee Beat is top 10 all time for me lol
That tune or Brian Wilson and every song he ever penned launched into the cold unforgiving vacuum of deep space? Bye bye Beach Boy |

03.25.21 | The Who 1973
The US tour started on 20 November at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. The group were nervous about playing Quadrophenia after the British tour, especially Moon. Before the show, he was offered some tranquillisers from a fan. Just after the show started, the fan collapsed and was hospitalised. Moon's playing, meanwhile, became incredibly erratic, particularly during Quadrophenia where he did not seem to be able to keep time with the backing tapes. Towards the end of the show, during "Won't Get Fooled Again", he passed out over his drumkit. After a 20-minute wait, Moon reappeared onstage, but after a few bars of "Magic Bus", collapsed again, and was immediately taken to hospital. Scot Halpin, an audience member, convinced promoter Bill Graham to let him play drums, and the group closed the show with him. Moon had a day to recover, and by the next show at the Los Angeles Forum, was playing at his usual strength. The group began to get used to the backing tapes, and the remainder of gigs for the US tour were successful.
Banshee Beat |

03.25.21 | The Who sound bad unfortunately
I’m sure even Alice Cooper OD’d once |
zakalwe
03.25.21 | Spirit over sound |
Sunnyvale
03.25.21 | Nice to see The Clientele on here, that particular tune isn't one my favorites, but they've become one of my top artists over the past year, very overlooked on Sputnik. |
DoofDoof
03.25.21 | Sometimes
The Who having a Bon Jovi level cheesy singer is a dead end for me
What’s the best Who tune for the drumming? |
DoofDoof
03.25.21 | Sunnyvale - I've been getting into that album quite a bit recently, one I'd slept on for a while |
zakalwe
03.25.21 | All of it Doof mate.
The Real Me isn’t a bad start though. |
DoofDoof
03.25.21 | zak the rhythm section is definitely the best part of that one, not my favourite tune in general
|
NorthernSkylark
03.25.21 | For 6 I’d pick for today I am a boy, but fistful is also a good one. Will check the clientele one, as I liked their debut. |
DoofDoof
03.25.21 | The first two songs on that Clientele album are so good, if you liked their debut think you'll dig |
JohnnyoftheWell
03.25.21 | "Richard Hawley - The Ocean."
my mate played this to me the other day, said his dad was a big fan. COINCIDENCE?
|
theBoneyKing
03.25.21 | Richard Hawley is big dad music energy |
Mort.
03.27.21 | that Bloc Party album is so frustrating. just reminds me they were a genuinely good band at one point |
Pheromone
03.27.21 | can you admit it's their best yet? |
Mort.
03.27.21 | u talking to me punk? it is their best |
DoofDoof
03.27.21 | is there any competition? by far and away their best |
Pheromone
03.27.21 | swear you used to stan the next one more mort |
DoofDoof
03.27.21 | the next one I have a soft spot for but it definitely fails at quite pulling off what it intended - ends up over ambitious |
Pheromone
03.27.21 | but yeah the band did a fucking huge dive off a cliff |
Mort.
03.27.21 | 'swear you used to stan the next one more mort'
nah never. i do enjoy Weekend in the City a lot, and i dont think its far off Silent Alarm. but Silent Alarm is deffo better
its third album onwards they really start to go downhill (although i have that albums 4d which is probs wrong, probs more of a 2.5 or 3.).
but yeh Bloc Party were one of my fav bands growing up. shame they never mananged to keep the acclaim train rolling |
