Title: If I like Beach Boys '85....
Post by: EgoHanger1966 on October 02, 2012, 05:29:56 PM
In the past few weeks, I've been playing The Beach Boys (s/t, 1985) a lot and really grooving on the sound of that record. I am not a fan of synths or 80s production in general, and I realize that maybe I like it because I am emotionally invested in the participants...but does anyone have recommendations of other albums/bands/artists/songs I would dig if I like the majority of this album?

Prince. But being a man of decent taste, you probably listen to Prince  ;D

And the song Lets Go All The Way by Sly Fox. I just want everyone to listen to that song tbh.

I'd imagine checking out Steve Levine's production discography could yield some similar sounding music: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Levine

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check them out! (Not a huge Prince fan, but I'll give him another go. Also familiar with Culture Club - I do secretly like some of their stuff) :)

You could try scratching your fingernails on a chalk board.
