it's pretty blurry though. you do sort of have to adjust for aural drunk-vision.

Bizarrely (perhaps) I've always found it to be a real singalong album.

i like "song cycle" but man "by the people" is pretty obtuse.

Veedon Fleece has had more mentions than Astral Weeks! A changing of the guard?

Song Cycle definitely takes a few listens but it's a total trio once you get used to the underwater musichall vibe

brimstead - two of my choices were straightfire albums I've loved since my teens (Boo Radleys and Autechre). Pere Ubu album is something I've owned for a long time but only come round to realising was one of my favourites in the last couple of years.

I could have mentioned any Scott Walker album because his effect on me in the last 3 or 4 years has been profound and I've taken his work in as a single body really. The outlier, of course, is the Young Thug album which only came out a few weeks ago but I've been rinsing to death.

There you go.

Veedon Fleece crossed my mind as one to list. I love Astral Weeks too but VF always felt more personal to me.

Is that comment directed at me? Sorry if my tastes are too common. I saw a band called Hot Garbage last night, if that's more your speed. They lived up to their name .

Blue Nile are one of several good bands my mother played a lot since I was very young but they were the last one that really clicked. I was kind of astonished when it stopped being dull and it started sounding rich and gorgeous.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 5 October 2016 18:45 (seven years ago) link
Cor, that Nuno Cannavaro album is the business.
In A Silent Way must have been mentioned at least three times now? Remain in Light, too.
