Really interesting, dense arrangement too

@edumist get down with the atheists

Don't remember this sounding like such a sequel to Whipping Post

im gonna try some of this but this might be too dusty for me

i tried Fats Dominos, Little Richard and i think Chuck Berry a long ass time ago when i was studying James Brown/Prince’s influences or whatever a long time ago

s*** was not moving me!

Yeah well give my 50s playlists a shot. You might have heard the wrong versions of some of it plus it's interesting to hear it all within the context of the time it came out.

You just posted a song from 1970 in the psych thread were on '71

P-Funks decade tbh

i was kinda referencing sorta the 50s and tbh im horrible with knowing what music came out in what decade not gonna lie

Allahu Rockbar I'm here to guide you

I pick Pretty Good by John Prine of his 1971 self titled Album

Love this song. Listen to it at least twice a day. Level of songwriting that can bring peace to middle east. Plus the Guitar solo is so simple but soulful

This song checks every box for me

! … Moonlight makes me dizzy
Sunlight makes me clean
Your light is the sweetest thing
That this boy has ever seen
… I heard Allah and Buddha were singing at the Savior's feast
And up in the sky an Arabian rabbi
Fed Quaker Oats to a priest
Pretty good, not bad, they can't complain
'Cause actually all them gods are just about the same
Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain
'Cause actually everything is just about the same

Here is a bonus clip that really digs in the solo 😂

No big noticeable standouts on those Caravan or Moody Blues albums @RVI maybe they'll grow

Pinders big finale has some epic moments but he doesn't stick the landing unfortunately. Just sounds like some prog pomposity.

couldnt even connect with their most whimsical song ever, Golf Girl eh

and yeah that Moodies album was decent but a bit mid to me with The Story in Your Eyes as the highlight. similar story with Seventh Sojourn. i should revisit both of those though, didnt give them nearly as many listens as the previous 5

Not immediately no but i did appreciate how much the album sounds like some proto solo Eno HCTWJ/TTM type ditties

10/10 song

Don’t know if you’ve seen Casino, but it’s so amazingly used in that. One of my favorite sequences Scorsese has ever filmed. I revisited the album though and it’s pretty disappointing. I like a lot of Nilsson’s work from before this and most of the material on the record is solid, but it doesn’t match the weight that song suggests will surround it. Placing the Coconut song after it is insanity.

Nah I haven't seen. Might have to add to my list

Agreed about the album being a bit uneven, some other really good songs for sure but coconut sucks ass. Aerial ballet is my favorite of his

All his albums I've checked out are super spotty

You just don't understand the physics involved with placing a lime within a coconut

His best album is his covers record of Randy Newman songs.

yeah there was some good on there

Aerial Ballet wasnt. but also a tiny album of only 25minutes
