Been listening to Bowie's trilogy of albums with Brian Eno - Low, Heroes and Lodger.
Low is arguably the best of them. You can definitely see where early Joy Division and Gary Numan got heavy influence with all the synths, punk roots and moody instrumentals. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song on it is great, even the chilling instrumentals towards the end.
Heroes has a strong A side but the B side of the album is lackluster with all the instrumentals. Don't take away that the title track of Heroes itself, Joe The Lion and Beauty and the Beast are great songs. I really like Blackout, but that's about it for the album. The rest of it is OK.
Lodger is the underrated one of the these albums. There are some great songs on here; Red Sails and DJ are especially good. But this album seems to always go overlooked by fans.

Damn, wasn't expecting anyone else to have heard of them, I've been listening to them off and on for years now. Pity there wasn't more from them.
The lead singer, Jessicka, went on to form Scarling., who I also like a lot - less rock, more noise pop.

Scarling. - City Noise
Another deep depression
The calm before the storm
The shaking in your head
How you sacrificed - how you paid the price
All the words you wish you had said

They came out of the Fort Lauderdale rock scene. They were like the female version of Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids. I think Manson himself gave them the name 'Jack Off Jill'. Love Jessicka, her paintings are beautiful too.

In my recent Jazz kicks, I've discovered Jaco Pastorius recently.
I'm not big on Jazz Fusion, which is probably the reason I never heard of Jaco before. When it comes to Fusion, there's only a handful of albums I do like and the main one is Herbie Hancock's Headhunters. I love Wayne Shorter when he's in a quartet or in Miles Davis' quintet, but I don't care for The Weather Report, which is where Jaco is most famously known for being a member of.
Jaco was a brilliant bass player and his original written songs are amazing. This song has the famous bass hook that later became SWV's hit 'Rain'. His melody here and phrasing is wonderful. It's easy to see why he has a huge fan following in the Jazz community based off his riffing and play style.
-
The Stranglers - (Get a) Grip (On Yourself)
Convicted of insanity, of crimes against the soul
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock and roll
-
Jaco and the last track from his debut album.
-
Pentangle - The Lyke-Wake Dirge
This ae nighte, this ae nighte
Every nighte and alle
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte
And Christe receive thy saule
Today's the winter solstice, always makes me think of this song.
-
David Bowie - Changes
-
Metallica - One.
Some people hate the movie that features in the video, Johnny Got His Gun, but I like it. The novel by Dalton Trumbo is incredible.

I remember seeing that movie years ago in high school and being surprised by it. I had no idea they took inspiration from a movie while making that video.
Great anti-war movie. The novel is great too, I agree. Trumbo suffered from the black lists.

As an early Christmas present, I've got my hands on the deluxe CD version of one of the greatest and most important Jazz albums ever made.
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/5103eTFY39L.jpg)
I love this album so much I could write massive walls of texts talking about it to the point I sound like a crazy person. I used to own one of the original Impulse vinyl versions, which was worth a good bit of money. This is probably my all time favorite Jazz album ever made. There isn't a single bad bar on it whatsoever. Every musician is in top form, especially the man on the cover and band leader or the quartet.
The bonus disc to the deluxe version has the only live recorded show of the album songs in it's entirety. The quality is good, but Coltrane was not happy with his performances, so it's not worth tracking down unless you're a huge fan. There are some cool outtake versions on it too, one of which where he plays Soprano and Artie Sheep is in on Sax.
If you like Jazz and don't own this album, get your hands on it eventually. It's a classic and a must have album.

Ministry - With Sympathy album.
I love this album so much. It's truly Ministry's finest work and the only album of theirs that I can listen to all the way through. Every song is good and there's a handful of stand out numbers for New Wave at the time - Work For Love, I Wanted To Tell Her, Effigy and What He Say are my favorites. It's a shame that they would go on to become a weird industrial band and later generic metal band. The original lineup of Jourgensen and George were onto something special as evident from With Sympathy. Ministry will always be a 'what could've been' band in my eyes.

Then across the room, inside the tomb, a chance has waxed and waned
The night is young, why are we so hung up in each other's chains?
I must take her and I must make her while the dove domains
And feel the juice run as she flies
Run my wings under her sighs as the flames of eternity rise
To lick us with the first born lash of dawn

I love that TLMorgan posted an Eminem song and Volente posted a Moby one.
Nothing for me today. Amazon mp3 keeps deleting their free stuff.
Although: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1.

I remember that episode now, he was a piano prodigy in it. I wish he wasn't associated with being so uncool. He seems like such a nice, good dude. He's inspired much of my writing and I expect him to do more of that

At least they are now playing songs from the old Peter Green era. Shame what happened to him, he's one of my guitar heroes and could've truly been a legend. If Green never has his breakdown, they could've given Led Zepp a serious run for the money as the hard blues playing rock band of the 70s.

Yes, it was good to hear all their "Greatest Hits". Also, because Neil Finn and Mike Campbell have replaced Buckingham, we got a Split Enz song "I got You" and also "Don't Dream Its Over" from Crowded House. In Australia, that went down very well lol

Wow sounds like a really fun show!
If you like live albums, check out Fleetwood Mac's 'Boston Tea Party'. It's from 1970 just months before Peter Green's mental breakdown and departure from the band. There's 3 volumes from 3 consecutive shows. Professionally recorded and was supposed to be their next LP for that year before Green left.
The Green incarnation of the band never sounded better.

I was reading about the James Gang just recently, around the big Kent State anniversary... I remember seeing Joe Walsh on Drew Carey's sitcom, and simultaneously being unsure if he was acting or that he was at all famous (let alone how much/many times, etc.).
WHOOPS! Just hit me I didn't post what I've been listening to...Well, not a lot lately, but see I still have Steve Tyler's solo disc out from who knows why who knows when...This recollection may cause me to grab it over the weekend.

Taylor Swift - Folklore
After just one listen through, I'm tempted to indulge in over-the-top praise. The strength and depth of the songwriting is amazing, the singing superb, and I couldn't pick out a single weak, or even mediocre, track. Be warned, this isn't Pop Girl Taylor (no dance tracks or club songs), but it's not a return to Country Taylor either. This is Matured Taylor, her matchless talents as a songwriter reaching even greater heights. Almost all the songs are about love-gone-wrong or might-have-been (after a few tracks, I began to think the album was made to break your heart. I was right.) I think I'll just give in and call it a Masterpiece.

Black Sabbath, Master of Reality, 1971
Funny you post this, I was just thinking about this album last night!
I'm not big on Sabbath or their Ozzy years. Heaven and Hell and the Mob Rules are my two favorites of theirs, but I always seem to end up with a copy of MOR where ever I live. Had it on cassette when I was a young lad back home in Louisiana, then I ended up with an original vinyl copy when I lived, then a CD copy years later after moving again. Funny how certain albums tend to follow you around.

The first 4 Sabbath albums are full of the heaviest guitar riffs ever. They are the original heavy metal band.

Love Rory. Saw him several times in London. Sadly his last show I saw he was totally drunk and unable to play more than five minutes. Terrible Shame.

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, Texas Flood, 1983. RIP Stevie.
Classic record. I can never forget the first time I heard SRV play guitar. He was like a force of nature. Up until that point, all I wanted to play was old school metal and classic rock. First time hearing him, I suddenly had a new found interest in a music genre I had never heard of. Watching him play is incredible, he did things that no other guitar player since has done.

Correct. He kick started a whole new blues explosion and I think myself lucky I got to see him several times in the 80s. I've actually been to Dallas to visit his grave.

Van Halen- 5150, 1986 album.
You get the 'Best of Both Worlds' with '5150.' It's 'Good Enough' on 'Summer Nights,' so 'Get Up' as 'Love Walks In.' 'Why Can't This Be Love' she said, in 'Dreams,' or maybe 'Inside.'

Rolling Stones remastered Goats Head Soup, 1973.
'Can You Hear The Music' cried 'Angie' It's Nearly 'Winter' and I'm 'Coming Down Again' after 'Dancing With Mr D' that 'Heartbreaker.' Seems like '100 Tears Ago' I took the 'Silver Train' so 'Hide Your Love' you 'Starfucker' because it's Mick and the boys in a 'Goats Head Soup.'

Thank you for posting this. Star Fucker is a song I have always wanted to write into a story.
Winter is a brilliant song, probably my favorite on that album. Mick Taylor wrote that and it's one of their best songs from that era. Taylor wrote a number of great songs with the Stones before he left.

Whitesnake- Lovehunter, 1979.
'You and Me' are a 'Long Way From Home' because 'We're Walking in the Shadow of the Blues.' I'm a 'Lovehunter' and you're an 'Outlaw' looking for a 'Medicine Man' to 'Help Me Throo the Day.' 'Rock & Roll Women' are 'Mean Business' so before you go 'We Wish You Well.'
All on the board, 123z.

New album, POWER UP, out today. Still rocking.
I'm reminded of the time that Angus was told AC/DC had made 10 albums that all sounded alike. His reply.
"That's a dirty lie. We've made ELEVEN albums that all sound alike!"
Don't expect anything new, just enjoy.

Still Power Up. It's the number one rock album of 2020 in my honest opinion.

Angus Young thanks AC/DC fans for their ‘guiding inspiration’ as Power Up hits number one on the UK albums chart
The return of AC/DC has been one of the most heart-warming stories of 2020. At the close of the band’s hugely successful Rock Or Bust world tour, it was roundly believed that the Aussie rock legends would call time on their extraordinary career, given that founding father figure Malcolm Young had passed, long-time frontman Brian Johnson had stepped down with serious hearing issues, bassist Cliff Williams had announced his retirement, and drummer Phil Rudd was battling addiction issues. We should have had more faith…
Back with a bang, Power Up has debuted at number one on the UK’s Official Albums Chart with the biggest first-week tally of 2020 so far.

1970's Glam Rock on YouTube, wonderful stuff that never gets much if any airtime on the main TV channels: Slade, Sweet, Mud, Showaddywaddy.
Back in the 1980's, I think, I read a review of a Sweet concert, in a highbrow newspaper which praised their Set, which ended with a 30 minute rendition of Tiger Feet! Can't really top that, IMO. :Y: Spot the deliberate error: Tiger Feet is a Mud song :Y:

I would never have the time to view everything available! It's just great to have a scrol through names and find others I've forgotton about or never come across before, By coincedence I was looking at Suzi Quatro from the 1970's. You may notice the 1970's were my formulative years musically. Was also watching a documentary/news item on Slade, where Dave Hill was a huge sex symbol. I get David Cassidy et al, but not Mr Hill. He was enjoying it though!

Been obsessed with Gary Numan's Sacrifice album for months. This came out in 1994 and is widely considered the album that resurrected his career as a goth industrial artist. Of all his albums since the 80s, this one is easily my favorite and it sits behind the imperial albums (Replicas, Pleasure Principle and Telekon) as his 4th best album in my opinion.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/12/Sacrifice_%28Gary_Numan_album_cover%29.jpg)
This album is long out of print and finding CD copies for a price under $70 is quite difficult. The vinyl copy is missing the 10th track due to running time, so you're best bet is the CD. I was happy to luck into a copy that was $30, only to get it in the mail and learn that it had laser disc rot on it, and thus skipped on multiple tracks.

Surely one of the better career-resurrections in history, and he's made decent albums ever since. Personally I'm most fond of Exile and Pure where he perfected that bombastic Nine Inch Nails/Depeche Mode sound of his.

I've not been to many live concerts in my life, a big regret, but sadly my circumstances made it very difficult. Also, I don't live in a big city which the famous acts tend to favour and back in the day UK didn't have that many suitable venues. Now Covid has made it all more harder for bands to tour.

Brand new album from Trivium- In the Court of the Dragon
-
I've been on an odd Led Zeppelin kick the past week, which is strange cause I usually don't listen to them much.
My curiosity was sparked recently when I discovered Jimmy Page used a Telecaster on their entire first album and a great deal of Led Zepp II was also recorded with the same Tele. Led Zepp fans will likely know the guitar I'm referring to is his '59 Tele with the rosewood finerboard and psychedelic dragon painting over the body.
This made a lot of things click in my head. I always felt the guitar tone on a lot of those songs sounded unique and different from what I know of the usual Les Paul stuff that was recorded later on. The Telecaster is such an underrated guitar outside of Country music. I have never understood why it is typecast as a Country player's guitar when it was used all over Rock and R&B music. I'm always surprised when I find out that some unique guitar sound I heard was actually a Telecaster and not a Strat or a Gibson type guitar.
Page also used a Telecaster in Stairway to Heaven and you can definitely hear it's twang and sparkle in the solo and background.
In my opinion there are only 2 guitars that define versatility and are real jack of all trades that can handle every genre and playing style - the Fender Telecaster and Gibson ES-335.

I've been on an odd Led Zeppelin kick the past week, which is strange cause I usually don't listen to them much.
My curiosity was sparked recently when I discovered Jimmy Page used a Telecaster on their entire first album and a great deal of Led Zepp II was also recorded with the same Tele. Led Zepp fans will likely know the guitar I'm referring to is his '59 Tele with the rosewood finerboard and psychedelic dragon painting over the body.
This made a lot of things click in my head. I always felt the guitar tone on a lot of those songs sounded unique and different from what I know of the usual Les Paul stuff that was recorded later on. The Telecaster is such an underrated guitar outside of Country music. I have never understood why it is typecast as a Country player's guitar when it was used all over Rock and R&B music.

Interesting. The '59 tele was given to Jimmy by Jeff Beck when he left the Yardbirds to Page. As you say he used in 68 and 69 with Zeppelin but Peter Grant suggested he retire it in late 69 because after every gig Jimmy had to get a soldering iron out to make it serviceable! He last used it on STH. On the advice of Joe Walsh he then picked up a Les Paul Burst which became known as 'number 1.' Probably the sexiest electric guitar made.

Wow that's really interesting.
You can definitely hear that Tele in those tracks. It sounds different from the Les Paul, which IMO was a bit muddy and sometimes too overdriven on their later stuff. Interesting to hear that the Tele had durability issues. It was likely beaten to a pulp from aggressive playing between Beck and Page over the course of it's life. Vintage Fender guitars had a reputation (and still do) for durability. Stevie Ray Vaughan played a beat up Strat for his entire career.
I played a Telecaster in college and it's the one guitar I regret getting rid of. That guitar was so useful for everything I wanted to play. At the time, I favored a Strat which had a far brighter neck pickup, but the Tele did everything I needed to do from classic rock to country/southern rock and jazz. My favorite thing about Teles is how twangy they sound. It didn't take me long to realize why Country guitarists love those guitars, and in the early Led Zepp recordings, you can hear that twangy sound from the Tele.
A few years ago, I started venturing into ES-335 territory and I got myself an ES-339. That has been the best guitar I've ever owned, and shockingly enough, it gets that twangy middle sound that a Tele gets. I could never get that sound out of my Les Paul, but my ES has it.
-
I remember Stevie Ray's beat up strat. Similar to the one 1961 type Rory Gallagher always played. The laquer completely gone. see here. Fantastic tone live.

Other famed Telecaster users are of course, Keith Richards with his 5 string tuning. Springsteen, Syd Barrett, and Strummer of the Clash.
You should check out the Jimmy Page book 'Anthology' which is basically a career look at all his guitars and equipment. Mrs 123z got it for me last Christmas.

Sunday night in UK, BBC Radio 2: A musical celebration of one of the world's greatest rock bands 'Queen'. 2 hours and not a bad song. PS please bring back the Queen musical 'We Will Rock You'.

One time i sat near to an American family, the Father was introducing his teenage kids to British culture: theatre and classic rock; they were very impressed!

Still being drawn back to the past: 1970's and Boney M.Suppose they could be described as Disco, Pop, huge in their time, in UK and Mainland Europe. Never had much 'Street Cred' as they were created by a German music producer Frank Farian, who was their main song writer and male vocalist, with Bobby Farrell miming on stage. Amazing videos on YouTube, music videos, TV shows and concert performances, some I've never seen before. A fantastic 1979 concert with full band has lots of hits, with a 4 minute + version of 'Rasputin' the extra long intro is wonderful, the costums and Bobby's dancing are simply just joyous.

1960's Folk / Rock classic: 'Different Drum' written by Michael Nesmith (who would later be a member of The Monkees). The most popular recording was in 1967 by The Stone Poneys with Linda Ronstadt on lead vocals.Just a fantastic song which Linda fused with emotion.Good old YouTube has the superb Carrie Underwood Live version, sung in tribute to Linda at the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The 2014 version has a more modern arrangement and supporting band, but Carrie's vocals come very close to Linda's, a mere 47 years apart. Wonderful.

I found this old classic Jazz record by Wes Montgomery recently, Movin' Wes that has quite moved me recently.
Recorded in 1964 and released on Verve Records. This album almost has a pop sound to it, similar to all those "Wes with strings" albums that would come out soon after, but it's due to him having a big band backing him instead of a small quartet.
I've quite enjoyed it. There's some strong soulful playing on this record. Wes always knew how to play smooth ballad tracks.

These guys sure have a thing for fast cars and V12 engines! When it comes to hardcore punk rock of this sort I prefer it to be as simple and ferocious as possible. I mean, there's something absolutely brilliant with a whole album clocking in on about the same time as a single Pink Floyd song!

Meatloaf-Bat Out Of Hell- album 1977
Of course, should be made complusory! I think I came to this album late, maybe in 1980's. Not many radio friendly singles on this.May be I saw an old episode of The Old Grey Whistle Test on TV with Meat Loaf and thought I must listen to the full album. Amazing songs and vocals.
Catch the 'Bat Out of Hell' stage show if you can. I saw it in London a few years ago and I understand it's touring in the UK now.

This one creeped me the hell out first time I heard it. I was told they were an inspiration for nineties industrial rock bands like Nine Inch Nails and expected something similar. Boy was I in for a nasty surprise! Bizarrely enough, I think it's some of the more immediate music they made, albeit also some of the most disturbing.

The Sound of Silence: classic song from Simon and Garfunkel, first released in 1964. Many versions available on Albums and Live Concerts over the years. In 2015 it was covered by the heavy rock band Disturbed. Fantastic version with great video, vocals are outstanding with powerful drums.

After recovering from COVID, something weird has happened to me and I've really grown on the Grateful Dead. When I was younger, I dismissed them as hippie music and was baffled at their popularity. The Dead have always had a massive fan following, but now that I'm older and having lived through something that was pure hell, I guess I have a new appreciation for music that brings happiness.
I picked up the Dead's Barton Hall 1977 show and cannot put it down. There is some amazing improvisation and passionate playing in the jams on there.

It took me a few days, and a few listens through, but I've decided that Taylor Swift's Midnights is as great as anything she's done. The synthesizer-heavy soundscape put me off a bit at first, but once you get on its vibe the songwriting and singing are amazing, intricate and self-revelatory classic Taylor.

Since earlier this year when I was turned onto the Grateful Dead, I keep going back and looking at American rock from the 60s that I had not listened to before.
I discovered Moby Grape some time ago. They were a great band, but I had not really dug into them beyond their debut that is fantastic. Through digging into their music, I learned that they had a member of their band similar to Syd Barrett and Peter Green who suffered a drug inducted mental breakdown. Their acid casualty was Skip Spence; a key part of the band's three guitar lineup. Skip wrote some amazing beautiful melodies and rhythm in Moby Grape.
From reading about Skip Spence, I came across the solo album he made called Oar. This album is quite infamous as being one of the earliest examples of an album where one musician did all the instruments and production alone. It is also well known for being something of a musical documentation of his complete mental decline. The album almost sounds like a mad genius at work. Legend has it that the day Skip was released from an institution, he hopped on a motorcycle in his pajamas and took it straight to Nashville to record this album.

This album isn't for everybody. It is so unpolished and sounds raw. This is the real stuff. It takes a few listens to get into, but after the third listen I think I got it and now I can't put the album down. I have found the emotions to push in many directions. Much of the album is frightening and sounds scary at times. The music can be dark and haunting and has certainly left an impression with me. It's the raw stuff like this that is often unforgettable. I see how this album left an impression on many people and was so influential.

I finally picked up a copy of John Foxx and Louis Gordon's 2003 album Crash and Burn.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ea/Crashandburn.png)
I'm not well-versed in the albums this duo made, though I am quite familiar with John Foxx's important work in the late 70s with Ultravox and his 80s albums.
I've fallen in love with this album. It has the hallmarks of Foxx's pop oriented synth sound, but with darker and moodier club feels. Much of the album fits the era it was released with a certain sleazy sound. it's raw, heavy and energetic. I will probably have to track down the deluxe edition to experience that bonus disc in it's re-release.
I love this song especially.
This is the kind of dark electronic music I wish Gary Numan was still making instead of imitating NIN.

Marilyn Manson is having a comeback right now, and I am all for it.
These new songs sound great. As Sick As The Secrets Within has grown on me and I've been listening to it every day lately to start my mornings. His voice hasn't sounded so clear in at least 20 years. I love the lyrics as a reflection on his journey of sobriety.
He's put together a great sounding band. The live shows are his best performances again, in at least 20 years. I didn't think he had it in him to have a comeback like this, and I am so happy it's happening. We got our rock star back!

I keep trying to get back into MM but his new stuff never really grabs me. I'll try the new album, maybe it's different.
The quality of his output is heavily dependent on his collaborators, and a lot of his later records just don't have very inspired pairings. Seems like he chooses co-writers based on how easy they are to work with (instead of people like Trent Reznor, who would challenge him to try new ideas and overcome his pitfalls as an artist.)

The last Manson album I really liked before this one was Eat Me Drink Me, mainly cause I'm a guitar nerd who liked Tim Skold's playing on the songs. Where Manson lost me was The High End of Low, which was so disappointing. I had pretty much gave up on him after Born Villain and Pale Emperor that didn't do much for me.
I don't disagree when it comes to his collaborators. His old stuff worked cause he had a good band behind him. There was always a good guitar player who supplied crunching riffs (Daisy, Twiggy, Zim Zum, John 5, Skold), but I think Pogo was the most important member of his band. Ever since he departed, there's an absence felt in the production and overall soundscape.
I enjoyed the new album, but it don't sound like his prime era. Easily better than everything since 2004, but it's more of a Bowie inspired Rock album than anything industrial. Tyler Bates is the main collaborator on it, and his style isn't for everyone. I just wish Manson would've let Reba Meyers work on this album. She was his lead guitarist on the recent tour, and she's the best guitarist he's had since John 5. If she had some room to supply leads or some solos, she'd stick out.
Manson sounds far better live today than he has in a long time. He's got his voice back and his live band sounds great, hence why I've been so excited for him.

John 5 is a beast. I spent a long time trying to copy his tone on those old MM tracks using plugins and amp sims. I think you just have to be him.

I've done the same thing. I love John 5. I think of him every time I see Telecasters.
Have you tried using a Tele for his Holy Wood tones? I have not seen it confirmed anywhere, but I swear to my ears, I am hearing a Tele on the clean parts of those songs. It definitely sounds like one on Coma Black, Target Audience and A Place In The Dirt.
This Youtuber has managed to get pretty close to J5's tone with using basic single coil Teles.
A tip if you're using a Tele for the first time; roll the tone knob back a bit on the bridge pickup. Teles have some serious tonal range (far more Strats, from my experience). Putting the tone knob at about 6-7 will boost the bass and give it more crunch on the bridge pickup.
-
Thanks - yeah that would probably work. Seems like he uses pretty low gain and a lot of multitracking so that his sound is thick but articulate.
I think he always used a Tele. He has one in this video (unless I'm blind).
