IHH was one of the last non-shitty songs they did imho

In addition to the Love songs already mentioned, there is also "Daily Planet" and "The Castle".
And too many Incredible String Band songs to list.

Slow Life would be my alt, so yeah.
Is the live 12" version of "The man don't give a fuck" too long for this?

SM, I'm sending you my traxx. You'll be submitting a final compilation at some point, I'm guessing? I didn't have any Moonshake on hand, so I included "Dream by Dream" by The Chills instead. I also omitted the Granddaddy track, per LJ' s observation.

Oh man, I was just thinking of "Dream by Dream" by The Chills!

The entire period from "Sgt. Pepper" and the following ten years to thread.
― Geir Hongro, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 23:17 (fifteen years ago) link
Geir, you told me on my Best Albums/Songs of the Aughties thread that you hate this type of song (or something to that effect). What gives?
― Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 23:59 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah what gives??????
― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 4 September 2009 05:08 (fifteen years ago) link
Geir hates all "difficult" songwriting except for late-period The Beatles (to the extent/at the times they qualified) and prog rock (chiefly early Genesis).

― winston, Friday, 4 September 2009 05:18 (fifteen years ago) link
For a split second, I thought this was some sort of 'new' musical form invented by maybe Magma that Geir digs.
― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 4 September 2009 05:22 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't get how geir could hate this considering how much he loves prog
― iatee, Friday, 4 September 2009 05:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Actually the "i love x when it's done by THE ORIGINATOR but every other example of it I hate" posture is a fairly common one amongst fans and critics alike, even though it's mostly a bullshit-ish position.

Electric Soft Parade: Silent To The Dark10cc: I'm Mandy Fly Me (and also "Une Nuit a Paris" and "Don't Hang Up", but they are verging on prog anyway)
― Tied Up In Geir (Geir Hongro), Friday, 4 September 2009 19:11 (fifteen years ago) link
electric soft parade. that's a room without any doors i'd say.
― alex in mainhattan, Friday, 4 September 2009 21:57 (fifteen years ago) link
Just about anybody's Brian Wilson tribute song such as:
The Dukes of Stratosphear - "Pale and Precious"Lindsey Buckingham - "D.W. Suite"
From the same Lindsey Buckingham album - "Play in the Rain" (though the fragments never really gel into an actual song)
His Name Is Alive - "Sick"

How has Big Star not been mentioned yet? Just about every song on Radio City has what, like, 75 doors.
― Matt Weston, Saturday, 5 September 2009 04:17 (fifteen years ago) link
Sunset Rubdown does this a lot, to particularly great effect on Dragonslayer (esp. "Idiot Heart" and "Anna Anna Anna OH")

listen to their goddamn second album and their EP and then listen to thomas white's brilliant ESP-transcending solo record and then restate that galdarn claim
actually silent to the dark is *fabulous* and i am all for its discussion here

"Savitri" from the new Rodrigo y Gabriela is a recent example of this, one that takes the concept quite literally with the sound of creaking doors accompanying peeks into different parts.

Opening track of the new Working For A Nuclear Free City (Do A Stunt) is the best out-and-out 'prog' song since the 70's maybe? haha ok that's bullshit but it's *fucking incredible*
