clifford_thornton Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Indeed, Atomizer is a fine one... I prefer the real drums of Rey Washam (in Rapeman) to the Big Black Tools, but whatever. Of course, Daydream is excellent, but Bob Bert really turns me on more than Steve Shelley. Therefore, Bad Moon Rising and the attendant EPs really are my preferred SY albums. I don't have too many favorites, just preferences at this point, but I'm glad to see your list includes more than jazz. For future reference, though, topics like these are usually started in the "Miscellaneous Music" area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I think the search function can be a bit of a pain in the ass; hence the repetition of some thread ideas. It's no sweat, and obviously people enjoy replying to things like this. Glad to see somebody mentioning Sloan. My favorite of theirs (though I haven't owned all titles in their catalog) is still Twice Removed. It's wry and oblique while retaining the power-pop elements that have made their later releases tick. But it's not as sugary, which is why I like it.

I only just discovered Sloan in about January of this year. Twice Removed is indeed a good one; but I also really love One Chord To Another and Between the Bridges, their other masterpiece.

clifford_thornton Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Not that the three have much to do with one another other than geography, but have you listened to either Eric's Trip or Broken Social Scene? I wasn't that into One Chord to Another, but maybe should give it another try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizum Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 BSS is okay. i was really diggin on you forgot it in people when i first heard. its grown a bit old now and i never could get into the other two. YFIIP would be a good listen for anyone into that kind of spacious indie stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Good live show I must admit, whatever one thinks of their track record in the studio. If I'm not mistaken Jason Zumpano (of the band Zumpano) was in the mix. They also were pretty good and probably did the 60s harmonizing pop thing nearly as well as Sloan (if a bit more raggedy).

Don't know them. Eric's Trip were a noisy folk-pop band named, obviously, after the SY song. They have a few albums on Sub Pop and scattered EPs also. I think the most enjoyable in their discography is Love Tara. Can't seem to find my burn of the BSS You Forgot It In People, but safe to say it's sprawling indie-rock, melodic and anthemic and rather varied in members and instrumentation. My recollection is that they are somewhat schizophrenic and at times half-assed, but the ambition and possibility shined through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 White Light White Heat! I find Nico grating (save Marble Index) and the banana record is pretty much a skip-around record for me. The VU collection I can also get behind, less so the self-titled LP (tho I know many who swear by it). And I'm not even going to discuss Loaded.

AndrewHill Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 you really think ill communication is the beastie boys best? Why yes, yes I do. "Sure Shot," for me, is my favorite BB track and I really dug that phase where they started to play their own instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
