    those are excellent but the album feels more like a collection of good songs more than a finely crafted opus with a handful of the most delicate songs he ever made;

    Simple Twist Of Fate, Youre A Big Girl Now, If You See Her Say Hello, Shelter From The Storm, Buckets Of Rain

    it would be a top 5 Dylan album just off those but theres also epic anthems Tangled Up In Blue and Idiot Wind which captured that mid 60s energy better than he had any right to. Youre Gonna Make Me Lonesome, Meet Me In The Morning are classic too. still insane that he pulled BOTT off so well.

    White Punks on Dope is great, but this other single from the same album is pretty nice too.

    Going through this thread over the years, I’ve kind of become an expert on 70’s glam. So, I decided to make a pretty extensive playlist, with one song per artist. I typically use Apple Music, but I converted it to Spotify for most people. There’s certain artists included that I think are generally really bad (Mud for example), and/or horrible people (Gary Glitter), but I did a deep enough dive to find even an enjoyable gem each to represent them.

    open.spotify.com/playlist/1Uf7BBMZiOPU1SG7IuXvpX?si=XqKr6JWrQKKmMxzcmhyuKw&pi=8YGNsoFISf-b9

    My 10 favorites (no particular order) from the playlist:

    T. Rex - Dandy In the Underworld
    Slade - Far Far Away
    Mick Ronson - Growing Up and I’m Fine
    Roxy Music - Just Another High
    Brian Eno - On Some Faraway Beach
    Mott the Hoople - Roll Away the Stone
    Wizzard - See My Baby Jive
    David Bowie - Time
    Elton John - Tower of Babel
    Steve Harley - Tumbling Down

    …maybe I’m OCD

    And I can't believe Wizzard get so overlooked. I guess the sound was alot more legitimately throwback sounding but man Roy has classics. literally never heard of him till I got to 1973.

    Yeah, I kind of cheated in a few cases by separating solo stuff from whatever band they’re in. So Roy and Wizzard get their own representation. I applied the same logic for Bryan Ferry, Iggy Pop, Ian Hunter, and a few of the Kiss members.

    Came out too early to count. I kept it exclusive to the 70’s. It also just doesn’t sound very glamy to me. Although, it’s neat hearing Bolan that early.

    I need to check this full album out.

    Update: it’s good

  • Jan 31

    I think this is from 74, but I figured I’d have no other opportunity to talk about it. It sort of distills Aladdin Sane era Bowie with early Roxy Music, while foreshadowing New Wave even more than they did. Most of this is killer material. Apparently the Split Enz guys were begging him to become their lead, and he kept refusing. He eventually put out a solo record in 78, which from what I’ve heard, is also really good.

    @RVI just me and an old Indian guy on site today so I played that R.D. Burman Bollywood score compilation and he was f***in pumped lol. Said I was playing some his favorite music, especially Sholay. Noted that some of it sounds more like a "Clint Eastwood western" seconds before I was about to say some of it sounds like Ennio.

    Robert Lester Folsom’s sole record from 1976 is an all time favorite, but these demos which date from somewhere between 72-75 are worth a look.
