The entire period from "Sgt. Pepper" and the following ten years to thread.

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).

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)

electric soft parade. that's a room without any doors i'd say.

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.

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*
and it's 2:44

Btw, listening to Ddiamondd - almost forgot how good it was.

I suppose some songs by Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti and Field Music this year might fit into this category.
― You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Sunday, 2 January 2011 01:12 (thirteen years ago) link
It's very good indeed - so many ideas and little bits! For some reason I always assumed Working were a spacemen 3 style dronerock thing.
― Davek (davek_00), Sunday, 2 January 2011 01:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Come to think of it that opening strummy guitar bit could be on a Stone Roses or Primal Scream record! Then the acoustic comes in..
― Davek (davek_00), Sunday, 2 January 2011 01:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Field Music were the only band WFANFC could come up with when trying to name good contemporary British music, haha! They're not really dronerock (although they can do it) so much as true eclecticism at play (with an electronic/rock skew, admittedly) - and it's very exciting to hear a band willing to do that
haha no challop to say that either of those bands' imaginations wouldn't have lasted more than 5 seconds of that song
