Powerage5 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I didn't like the band during the Balls To Picasso era, so those ones never stood out as much to me. I didn't like how the Tattooed Millionaire songs sounded with that band at all, and that's a big strike against them since Tattooed Millionaire is my favorite Bruce album.But definitely pick up Anthology if you can find it, well worth the money.

Tater Totts Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yeah not a huge fan of Balls to Picasso, only one or two songs were to my liking, much prefer the Skunkworks stuff onwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 London Calling, Sandinista, Combat Rock - The Clash (yeah, no one apart from me cares for Sandinista, i know )My Generation, A Quick One, The Who Sell Out - The Who (although the next 3 could easily be considered a sequence of three of equal weight).I've been listening to Sandinista! the last few days. There are some good songs on there, but I can't get into the whole album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some good songs on there, but I can't get into the whole album.It's not an easy album to digest. It's as if they threw everything at a wall and thought everything should stick. It's incredibly uneven but I still applaud them for doing their thing and bucking every trend imaginable.That being said, it's not a brilliant album. Nor is Combat Rock for that matter. Combat Rock is easily their weakest album. (Cut The Crap doesn't count!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Yeah I was kidding hence the . I don't consider 808s or Yeezus "brilliant" albums. My cutoff for brilliant would probably be 8.5. 808s is about a 7.5 and Yeezus an 8.0. At the present, I think I do see 808s as 8.5 and Yeezus around 6.5-7.0.

Gackt Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 David Bowie's Station to Station, "Heroes" and Low; I'd have just said the Berlin trilogy, but I prefer Station over Lodger. The three albums come together VERY well also on his live album Stage.Also going to namedrop Primus' Sailing the Seas of Cheese, Pork Soda and Tales from the Punchbowl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried time and again to like "Heroes", but I can't get into it, love the song, though.I've always found the first half of "Heroes" to be rock solid, and the second half at least an 8.5/10. Would have been perfect if it flowed more like Low, than shove Secret Life of Arabia as the closer..Also gonna say Space Oddity/The Man Who Sold the World/Hunky Dory for another great trilogy with Bowie's acoustic, folky side.

chevelle Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 As of now, Periphery's three studio albums (Periphery I, Periphery II, and Juggernaut). They've improved on every single release and they already had a great foundation to start from with their debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Facelift, Dirt and Alice in ChainsSure you can include Jar of Flies and Unplugged but it's basically three strikes and you're out cause your lead singer was on a road to hell.The resurgent AIC is gonna complete a hat trick again with Black Gives Way To Blue, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here and the next record.So basically it's almost six consecutive split into two eras of threes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Little Richard might just be the distilled core essence of everything that came out of rock n roll that was good after him. Could we have had a Mick Jagger without Rich? A James Brown? Or even an Iggy Pop? And y'know what, out of all of em i don't think I've seen a single one that fucking ROARED like him onstage or on record.Watch ANYONE else do Long Tall Sally, they had to mellow down with it...but he's just like....on another planet to the rest, the guy was just fuckin' phenomenal, like a car with no brakes. He's just fucking improbable, a little queer black midget who was gorgeous looking, played like a fuckin' monster, veered between salvation and damnation his whole life and just represents a peak in rock n roll that you just cannot approach in terms of the power of his performance. Pound for pound, in a strictly showman sense he pisses over Elvis, he pisses over Chuck (i feel like i just stabbed my father in the back with that comment ), Jerry Lee i suppose approaches but doesn't really hit it like Rich. And we're talking like a good half century before all the things that he was (i.e. a bible bashing black bender ) were acceptable. Actually, what am i talking about, that shit ain't even acceptable now and it's testament to our cultures ability to appropriate and file under 'eccentric' all manner of shit that it would usually find pretty unpalletable to where he's SO acceptable that he's doing advert on TV for fuckin' Miracle Whip or whatever, it's the strangest thing.It's amazing though, that in this modern age, where so much or rather EVERYTHING is do-able onstage, get your todger out, cut yourself, stick your head through a speaker, leap off of the fuckin' rafters...and yet they still can't top the little queer midget guy, fantastic It's like people don't even have the lung capacity to push it as far as he does, i dunno WHY that is but nobody, noooobody, no fuckin' vocalist i ever heard can do Long Tall Sally faithfully to the original. They just can't fuckin' do it. Right from the off, right from 'GONNA TELL AUNT MARY BOUT UNCLE JOHN, HE SAID HE HAS THE MISERY BUT HE'S GOT A LOT OF FUN OF BABY!', in the original vocal performance thats just one fuckin' top of the lungs stream of vocals, when ANYONE else does it it's like GONNA TELL AUNT MARY *pause* BOUT UNCLE JOHN *pause* and the brave ones'll do the rest in one go up until baby or else just keep breaking it up. Little Richard IS rock n roll in the sense of he is a perfect distillation of the very most that rock n roll dared to offer, style, sexuality, subversion...the fact that he just existed at all was patently offensive. He was just inciteful, everything that good honest decent clean living folk would object to, i fuckin' love it It makes me just happy thinking about it, the fact that these kind of people exist in life is what makes it worth living. Unique. Total one off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
