Post by: EgoHanger1966 on April 23, 2014, 02:34:07 PM Nice to see The Zombies making so many of your lists. I can't say I'm surprised, they really had an upswing in awareness these past few years. I'm getting the chance to see Colin solo next month, super psyched.
Title: Re: favorite album(s) of all time? Post by: Summertime Blooz on April 23, 2014, 03:29:40 PM There is one from a while back, but it's a little different. Here are the ones that are closest to my heart; the five I would pick if I had to live with only five albums for the rest of my life. The Zombies: Odyssey and Oracle This Will Be Our Year was featured as the closing theme for this week's episode of Mad Men. They make so many cool music choices on that show. Title: Re: favorite album(s) of all time? Post by: Gabo on April 23, 2014, 03:30:06 PM My three faves:
1. of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping 2. The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society 3. John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band I only listen to albums when I'm in my car. I usually just listen to individual tracks I enjoy. Title: Re: favorite album(s) of all time? Post by: Gabo on April 23, 2014, 03:31:39 PM Here's my list for those who quit living in the past: twenty great albums since the new millenium: 2000 Emmylou Harris – Red Dirt Girl 2000 John Hiatt - Crossing Muddy Waters 2002 Beck - Sea Change 2002 Damien Rice - O 2002 Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around 2002 White Stripes – Elephant 2003 Kelly Joe Phelps - Slingshot Professionals 2004 Brian Wilson - Presents SMiLE 2005 Jim Byrnes - House of Refuge 2005 Josh Rouse - Nashville 2005 Richard Hawley - Cole's Corner 2006 Bonnie Prince Billy - The Letting Go 2006 Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Ballad of the Broken Seas 2007 Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Raising Sand 2007 Wilco – Sky Blue Sky 2008 Chris Eckman – The Last Side of the Mountain 2008 Various Artists - Take Me to the River: A Southern Soul Story 1961-1977 2010 Dylan Leblanc - Paupers Field 2010 Ray LaMontagne & The Pariah Dogs - God Willin’ & the Creek Don’t Rise 2011 Gillian Welch - The Harrow & The Harvest Many of these musicians were active in the 60s. You're living in the past too, I'm afraid. Title: Re: favorite album(s) of all time? Post by: rab2591 on April 23, 2014, 03:55:55 PM There is one from a while back, but it's a little different.

The Zombies: Odyssey and Oracle This Will Be Our Year was featured as the closing theme for this week's episode of Mad Men. They make so many cool music choices on that show. They really do. That scene where Don puts on 'Tomorrow Never Knows' is unforgettable. Title: Re: favorite album(s) of all time? Post by: the captain on April 23, 2014, 04:24:47 PM Here's my list for those who quit living in the past: twenty great albums since the new millenium: 2000 Emmylou Harris – Red Dirt Girl 2000 John Hiatt - Crossing Muddy Waters 2002 Beck - Sea Change 2002 Damien Rice - O 2002 Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around 2002 White Stripes – Elephant 2003 Kelly Joe Phelps - Slingshot Professionals 2004 Brian Wilson - Presents SMiLE 2005 Jim Byrnes - House of Refuge 2005 Josh Rouse - Nashville 2005 Richard Hawley - Cole's Corner 2006 Bonnie Prince Billy - The Letting Go 2006 Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Ballad of the Broken Seas 2007 Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Raising Sand 2007 Wilco – Sky Blue Sky 2008 Chris Eckman – The Last Side of the Mountain 2008 Various Artists - Take Me to the River: A Southern Soul Story 1961-1977 2010 Dylan Leblanc - Paupers Field 2010 Ray LaMontagne & The Pariah Dogs - God Willin’ & the Creek Don’t Rise 2011 Gillian Welch - The Harrow & The Harvest Many of these musicians were active in the 60s. You're living in the past too, I'm afraid. I was the same thing. It's understandable on a Beach Boys board, but it's still funny that most people here talk about modern music either with old bands and artists, or new ones that sound old. Title: Re: favorite album(s) of all time? Post by: the captain on April 23, 2014, 04:32:47 PM My list. Same caveats as everybody else: changes by the moment blah blah blah. I went 10 deep (then added a few), alphabetical order.
Brilliant Corners, Thelonious Monk The Coast is Never Clear, Beulah Dear Catastrophe Waitress, Belle & Sebastian Giant, Herman Dune In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Neutral Milk Hotel Loaded, the Velvet Underground Kontiki, Cotton Mather Miles Smiles, Miles Davis Quintet Pet Sounds, the Beach Boys Satanic Panic in the Attic, Of Montreal See You in Hell, Puerto Muerto Sgt. Pepper's..., the Beatles Tallahassee, the Mountain Goats Transformer, Lou Reed Yaya, David Ivar Herman Dune Ys, Joanna Newsom Title: Re: favorite album(s) of all time?
