Title: Spiritual Albums and songs Post by: Niko on June 23, 2015, 12:15:43 PM What are the most spiritual albums or songs?
Everyone is going to have their own personal definition of what makes a piece of music spiritual - many of the albums listed below I would also put on a favourite albums list without second thought. Is it because I like them so much and have developed a deep and personal connection that I would also consider them to be spiritual, or would many other hardcore music fans agree with my list? PLEASE leave a list of your own. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds, Smile and Friends Brian Wilson - No Pier Pressure Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Love - Forever Changes Zombies - Odessey and Oracle Miles Davis - In a Silent Way and Kind of Blue John Coltrane - Blue Trane and A Love Supreme Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage Forest Flower - Charles Lloyd The Who - Quadrophenia The Band - The Band Marvin Gaye - What's Goin On The Beatles - Abbey Road and The White Album The Velvet Underground - Their first and third albums Randy Newman - Sail Away Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue Songs: The Beach Boys - Til I Die (this one above all) New Order - Ceremony Simon and Garfunel - Bridge over Troubled Water Arlo Guthrie - Valley to Pray LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends Roy Orbison - In Dreams Daniel Johnston - Walking the Cow Title: Re: Spiritual Albums and songs Post by: Douchepool on June 23, 2015, 12:24:04 PM The Beach Boys - Sunflower, Smile, Pet Sounds
Opeth - Ghost Reveries Folkways Anthology of American Folk Music Elvis Presley - Elvis Country (I'm 10,000 Years Old) The Moody Blues - Every Good Boy Deserves Favour A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector George Winston - December Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports Arnaldo Baptista - Loki?

If spiritual can mean taking the listener to another place, one that immediately comes to my mind is Davd Crosby's If Only I Could Remember My Name. Another is Trout Mask Repllca, although the world it transports me to is a little frightening at times. As for songs, I'Il go for "I Only Have Eyes For You" by The Flamingos. Beach Boys albums? Pet Sounds, to be sure, and side two of Surf's Up. Songs? So many... Just one? "All I Wanna Do".

Um-Allah-Hum-Allah And pretty much every free jazz-influenced album i own .... Alice Coltrane, John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Albert Ayler etc etc etc... :) that whole scene was pretty spiritual, and it does it for me.

Kaya [album] Bob Marley Countryman version...Natural Mystic - Bob Marley Hell's Bells...almost everything by Bob Marlley and the Wailers. Try 'Pass It On'. ... and pass it on. Also Try Burning Spear and Culture. Luciano. Morgan Heritage. Most Bunny Wailer material. Someone once wrote something along the lines of [and obviously it was some time ago]...If every newspaper in the world printed the lyrics to a Bob Marley song on their front page EVERY DAY of the year...the world would be a much better place to live in. That's the 'feeling' or gist of it at any rate. And it's right...to Ras Clat!!! In the name of his Imperial Majesty.... ... ... JAH RASTAFARI !!!!!! Ever sure.

Connie Smith is a favorite, so her versions of these two are always fantastic:
