You really like an album and nobody else has heard of it. Name that album.

Mine is this one:



Coverdale Page - the one album I play when I really feel like blowing off steam. The last two songs on the album at full volume act like a narcotic on me when I'm in a shitty mood.

Enjoyable.

know if you've heard of it but they're pretty good.
Whacky, too.

were touring all know of them. Just didn't realise they were popular back in the day.
And the editing period had expired.

Jazz/funk/rock duo (synths and drums). They even have a song named "My Pet Goat." :)

Rock and Roll before white teenagers discovered it

Milt Gabler from Decca dumped Louis Jordan like a hot rock when he discovered Bill Haley and the Comets. Handed over their arrangements, and made a gazillion dollars.

Yowza! :thumbsup:

If not, it is a must hear for ou. The whole album is awesome and it is a little history of jump blues.

Everyone eats at our house, I heard it recently and I didn't catch the title.

one of my all time favourite bands.

On Columbia: Are You Hep to the Jive? Very vout. :thumbsup: :donut: :)

I'll check it out :D

One of the five books of the bible for jump, swing and blues. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :donut: :)

Royal Court of China - Self-titled

Titanic Love Affair - Self-titled

The Del Fuegos - "Boston, Mass." (maybe a few remember it)

Soul Asylum - "Hang Time" (one of their best ane least well-known)

Saxon - "Crusader"

Fastway - Self-titled

I'd have to dig through the old cassette collection to jog my memory.

nm

I kinda prefer their debut "The Longest Day" -- "Have you forgotten?" is about the saddest damn song ever written. My signed copy of the vinyl is a prized possession. It's FINALLY out on CD, sort of buried on The Best of the Del Fuegos as the first batch of tracks. :D http://www.delfuegos.com

Funny that Warren Zanes (the younger brother of singer/guitarist Dan) is a honcho at the RR Hall of Fame with a PhD and such. Dan, in the meantime, is finally making some money doing children's rekkids.

That song "Planet Strange" is a masterpiece. Didn't care much for the rest of that album, but that song was a keeper. Still blows me away.

good, catchy hooks.

Named for the director of a lot of the Three Stooges shorts. Never quite had the knack though...

Murder By Death's "Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left of Them?"


Paulson's "All At Once"


Protest The Hero's "Kezia"


THe Bronx's "The Bronx"


Probably a million more. Those are just off the top of my head.

EBM that sounds like it was written by the Lucifer of "Paradise Lost". Or by someone who had been reading Paradise Lost.

It's my get-me-out-of-this-mood album.

...:shrug:

and you'll know

1979 Art-Punk



That's Su Tissue, lead vocals

on that album.

"Unable," "Janitor," etc.

Unheralded classics of the new wave.

It was never released on CD, AFAIK

My wife even saw them play at DC's 09:30 Club back when we was long-distance courtin'.

I'm happy you mentioned it. Su has a bit part in the movie "Something Wild," by the way.

I think after the Lawns she went to Berklee to study cello or piano or something.

When in college, we tried to book them at UC Irvine and had endless problems with the "Huntington Beach Punkers" threatening to wreck havoc. When we finally got them on campus, the punkers did follow through (I saw a bunch of them tearing about a kiosk after the show).

I saw them a number of times at the Cuckoo's Nest in Costa Mesa as well. Last time I saw them they played warm-up for the Vandals.

Great Power Pop/Metal/Punk produced by SST majordomo and noted rock theoritician Joe Carducci. Hyperactive, melodic, angular, and very very rocking. Mentioning their name usually brings up blank stares, but this album never left my Discman for months after purchase in 1999.

Great stuff.

I'm still waiting for someone to do it as a country song.

Unfortunately, I never heard the rest of the album.

It wasn't for a long time, Finlay I got a burner and copied the album onto cd and listen to that. If you can find it, I recommend it, many of the songs still play really well today, especially "Put Your Hands On The Screen" about televangelists.

I loved him in the film, I should check that out.

I am not a David Bowie fan. But I'm loving this album. It's a great Saturday morning cup of coffee album.

sorry don't know how to post a pic of the cd cover

In addition...

"Condition Blue" by The Jazz Butcher (and everything else he's ever done)

"Doug" by the Coolies (Best rock opera EVER)

"Lohio" by the Ass Ponys (stories Flannery O'Conner never wrote set to amazing music)

"Gentlemen" by the Afghan Whigs (Yeah, you might have bought it back in the day, but have you listened lately? It still holds up.)

Loved that album!

Pat sometimes makes me want to give up my occasional attempts at songwriting, as there just seems to be no point with him in the world. :)

"11" and "Green Thoughts" were their best.

I first heard her in a tent in Oxford about 5 years ago, when she was part of a duo called Mouse. Their album Mouse Tales is rare as fuck so I feel lucky to have a copy. She's since gone solo and released 2 albums - this is her most recent.

...Spike Lee's Do It A Cappella ran on PBS ca. 1989, showcasing a bunch of vocal groups. The soundtrack album is wonderful.

I love great a cappella music... :)

Ok, I know I say the Black Lips every time one of these threads comes up. And no, the record is not called "Beach Party." It's called "Let it Bloom." And I do like lots of other bands a lot of people here might not know about that I could mention. But none of those other bands have a hilarious and ridiculous picture like this one, (which is not from a record but from the band's series of Black Lips Commemorative Plates. I mean, look at it. It says "friendship" on it fer god's sake. Also, "Beach Party!"). So that's why, yet again, I'm going with the Black Lips. Plus, I just saw them again last week and they kicked mad ass. So yeah. Black Lips.

With a healthy dollop of hip hp. Saz, ney, great vocals. What more could one ask besides a hot drink on a cold day? :thumbsup: :donut: :)

"For new listeners of this ambitious outfit, it's nearly impossible to grasp Maudlin of the Well's extreme breadth and width of musical endeavor upon one listen. In fact, the first listen to Bath can be an aggravating experience as the band winds through more musical styles than one can shake a rather large stick at. Transitions between softer, acoustic guitar passages and other warmer, fuzzier moments into a quagmire of death and aggressive doom metal may have many puzzling on just how the band got there. The simple fact of the matter is that one must dedicate several listens to Bath before honing in on the album's charm. The previously jarring transitions begin to make more sense and the album comes together as a whole."

Most of the members of this bad are now in the band Kayo Dot,and they're really hard to grasp too,but patience will reward the listener.

see link below!

His least commercial and by far his best album.


I can't think of a better album in the past 20 years. It's that good.

shoulda been huge, but just didn't make it.

Doughty's putting out some good shit now that's he sobered up and solo.

:hi:

but "Ruby Vroom" (which only sold something like 70K copies) was better, IMO ...

:yourock:

anyone ever heard of this, Alice Cooper's best album. EVER!

The 'Sats were a post-punk band who received scant attention in their 16-year career, but have proved highly influential on many 80s-90s groups.

CSA performing the title track on Dutch TV


To quote from the Trouser Press Record Guide:

:hi:

Phil Manzanera
Brian Eno
Phil McCormick
Francis Monkman

Damn fine music. I love their cover of Tomorrow Never Knows

It is not dieeeee-eing


When I bought that when it came out about 1977 or so, the guy suggested that I go ahead and buy 2, because I would wear out the first one playing it so much.

It's this nightclub band from the 1960s. They recorded an album that never got released until the vaults got cleared out in the 1990s. The guitar playing is amateur, as are some of the concepts of the songs, but they could sing decent harmony, and the damn thing grows on you like an army of earworms. (Track 5 is the best).

I guess the Permian Basin wasn't ready for psychedelic flower power. Damn shame.

Welcome to the Boomtown (David Baerwald and David Ricketts)

Real hard to pigeonhole this one, except that "Dekoboko" is actually free-form jazz saxophonist John Zorn. I absolutely love the track My Rainbow Life and cannot recommend it highly enough to jazz fans.

It's one of my favorite live albums ever and it was recorded entirely in bars.

Songs on the album:

Building the Perfect Beast
Land of the Living
Not Enough Love in the World
You Can't Make Love
All She Wants to Do Is Dance
A Month of Sundays
Drivin' With Your Eyes Closed
Man With A Mission
Sunset Grill
The Boys of Summer
You're Not Drinkin' Enough

Live 70s jazz in weird time signatures: My favorite: 'Bulgarian Bulge' in 33/16. :thumbsup:

Outstanding both of them

One is Bonnie McKee's Trouble. I find the CD to be classic level, with one of the most sensual songs ever - "Honey."

Buy it! It's great! (No, I don't get a cut).

It's still on my wish list.

It's not a christian group, it's a local Detroit band that combines a lot of styles-electronica, blues, funk, etc. Detrola is their latest album.

Odd one's

The Primitives - "Lovely" pop, upbeat. Not to die for, but certainly a good one.
Cry Baby, Pink Flamingos - Soundtracks
John Barry - "Moviola"

for starters, I guess.

"That's the Way I Feel Now" - Thelonius Monk tribute album

mikey_the_rat

Fairly new release. Excellent work. Someone must have it because I tried to go see him at a SXSW venue last week at 9 (show started at 9:30) and they had been sold out since 7.

<>

I believe one of the members of Galaxie 500 plays on this album as well. It's hard to pick a favorite Kramer album, but the band really makes this one.

Page did it to piss of Robert Plant since Coverdale was nothing more than a Robert Plant wannabe

<>

Yes, it was a cheap gimmick, but 3 out of the 4 actually played on this one, and there's some really great songs on it, including Tom Cochrane's "Boy Inside The Man". (Yes, the "Life Is A Highway" and "Lunatic Fringe" Tom Cochrane.)

lyrics to the song Bionic Man still run through my head occasionally.

"...hit black ice at 95
they said I'm lucky to be alive..."

it on a Canadian radio station I listened to growing up.

I love that song -- I may have to add that to my collection!

But 'Think Pink' has "Anna Rexia."

I love love love love love this record.

Good ol' Tommy Stinson...

Really obscure band. Great drums and catchy songs. One song even has a refrain sung in Quenya.

Mostly covers of familiar songs, a couple of her own but my favorite song is a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's, Kathy's Song. Soothing and touching.

is my favorite sort of obscure album, but I know there are people here who also appreciate it - Random KoolZip, if I remember correctly.

Best psychedelic folk album EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
