What was the last classic album you got and weren't knocked out by?

luomo- vocalcity

i have such a hard time with house. the repetition grates on me. pure hypocrisy on my part because i can listen to, like, the stooges all day long, but for some reason when house does it i get really bored really quickly. :(

Annette Peacock - The Aura Years. It sounds like it was leftover from earlier in the seventies.

I wonder if the Groove is in the Heart band did anything else? *puts on World Clique* that's what I'm talking about...

but did it knock you out?

I'm always surprised how boring Can albums are.

Deee-Lite sorta petered out but Towa Tei's had a pretty extensive career since then. Check out "GBI" which sounds like his own attempt to make a "Groove is in the Heart" type single, but with Kylie Minogue instead.

Cheap Trick "Dream Police" rn

title track is like Sparks via Queen. "Gonna Raise Hell" is the lost Iron "No New York" track.

lost Iron Maiden.

or Judas Priest

oh fuck this is the wrong thread

this album rules. definitely not not knocked out by this

Not so much album since this was a standout track on a compilation surrounded by decent music but nothing that stood out as much to me. I heard the guitar on Skinhead Moonstomp by Symarip which is really surprising. I must have heard it before so surprised i is hitting me as a surprise but it isn't what I would have expected, though not sure what that is.
It's noisy , quasi psychedelic possibly and more about creating distortion with a clean guitar without pedals though possibly with a slide. I think it may sound like guitar of its time in 1970 when I think I might be expecting something more linear or rhythm oriented. I haven't listened to the lp in a while so not sure if there is more of this style elsewhere. Also not checked if this is the standard version or not. But really struck me as a bit other for the song it was a part of.

Had me thinking of Syd Barret or Blixa Bargeld or something . Though more compressed timewise and fitting within the music played but still like totally abstract.

yeah seeing somebody else mentioning they posted to the wrong thread further up the thread I thought this was were knocked out by but its weren't.
Only noticed when it said that four years pass since last message.

Most disappointing "classic" albums I first heard in 2023:

Aerosmith
Honky Tonk Masquerade, Joe Ely
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Flaming Lips
Next, Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Terry Melcher
Too Fast for Love, Mötley Crüe
Sommerabend, Novalis
Ten Years After

Maybe one good song apiece on each of these, at best.

maybe I should be paying about dsotm here?

...posting about...

I love DSOTM but don't care for 'Wish You Were Here'.

I just recently found a CD of Animals on the curb and listened to that for the first time, and think I prefer it to Wish, maybe even Dark Side. But I guess that's for the other thread.

Speaking of long crawls: daaamn that guitar in "Europe is Our Playground"

(I gotta get home and blast it)

wrong thread alfred

oddly wish is the only one that does it for me

wish you weren't here, last classic album that i got and wasn't knocked out by!!!

The concept-era Pink Floyd records are all very different in terms of pacing and structure, and if that doesn't appeal to the listener they can feel torpid. I got bored of Dark Side for that reason, but Wish You Were Here and Animals especially build in very satisfying ways for me.

"Animals" is my pick for this thread tbh
