Throbbing zenith

Ayers was up to some mischief alot of moments on this album sound exactly like some proto-Roxy/Eno

@Elric annexus quam is pretty good, getting some slight late 60s mothers of invention vibes

gonna keep it in rotation for a bit?

This melodic turn was unexpected

Yeah

Randy Newman might be a little funkier than I thought

What a tune this seems up your alley @Koala

Kinda psych @RVI

Did you revisit? @RVI

What does riffsquad think? @Koala @drjdeponytail @branmalt @Riffwanker

nah not yet

This is cool

feel like you could count the amount of bands that were this heavy in 1970 on one hand

Plastic Ono Band changed my life. Imo it’s the strongest Beatles solo work. Incredible music.

Idk if you or anyone ITT has heard of this show, but back in the early 00’s, VH1 had a series called Classic Albums that interviewed band members & producers of classic albums. They’ll play the master tracks, individually, for each song & break down the vocals & instruments for each track.

Plastic Ono was covered on this show, and the producer talks about how John did “Primal Therapy” during the recording of this, which means he would act out being born again from the womb. The footage they show is so intense, he’s in a fetal position screaming & crying.

No doubt

@op how long do you discuss a year, before you move on to the next one?

Just curious how your formatting works, I see 1970 has been up for a few days now! Great thread!

Yeah I just looked at the album releases in 1970 & Plastic Ono would def be my fav. S*** is so depressing & raw. It’s absolutely insane you got music like Plastic Ono & Sabbath’s Paranoid dropping within months of eachother

the 50s and early 60s were usually only a couple months but by 1967 there was dramatically more quality music to swim through in all genres so its almost taking me half a year at this point we been on 1970 for months already and im pretty well done my research and have started whittling down my ranked list

Damn that’s so f***ing cool. I love that.

what's your favourite song though anybody thats knows me on here already knew I had this locked in for my #1 soty

was the same with Cowgirl In The Sand last year. both in my top 5 songs by anybody ever.

I am def gonna check this out bro! I’ll keep ya posted! And MAN! As I get older, I get more & more into 70s soft rock & this one just has my heart fr

im not sure if anybody actually listens to the Spotify playlists I made for each year but you should check some out
