Yeah Apple Music has these cool playlists for certain artists that have their influences and The Flaming Lips one has everything from Sonic Youth and Pink Floyd like Elric mentioned to ELO, Can, Yes, Butthole Surfers, The Beatles, and Yo La Tengo.

nice. i find it hard to believe that the same band made Hell's Angels Cracker Factory, Do You Realize? and The Terror.

i guess my favs usually change between Oh My Gawd, Telepathic Surgery and Clouds Taste Metallic. Soft Bulletin has a couple of my absolute favs by them. Zaireeka is also a bit underrated imo.

I’m rewatching Korine’s Mister Lonely. It’s so sad.

true. sometimes im just not sure if they really are that good or if im just a stan.

like on my iTunes i make playlists for all my goats with all their good songs, and a second list for their Best-Of's (which are usually short enough for me to burn onto a cd)

Dylan, Radiohead and Kanye are the only ones out of hundreds that I gotta make a third Best-Of-The-Best-Of to actually cover all the insane highlights they've had across so many years they are relentless

I can see myself getting here with Nick and Tom one day

this was such a f***ing cool way to introduce a new project

not the era of pink floyd youre thinking of. the earlier stuff.

No Floyd is cool (tho Syd era is always superior) I just hate Sonic Youth

ok yeah I was having a vague BTS and Radiohead feeling for you

Telepathic Surgery is the one I don’t quite connect with. I found the harder edge of it kind of phony feeling. Chrome Plated Suicide is cool tho. Wayne Coyne always seemed like a big softy at heart so trying to make that kind of tougher music just didn’t jive for me.

ah yeah I thought the Koz love went back further

also never would have guess MM lol

also couldn't think of you your fave band of the 90s would be. I know you have esoteric taste but also have no problem stanning the most popular bands. Maybe also Pulp?

Roughly in this order:

Radiohead
Beck
Flaming Lips
Pulp
Elliott Smith
Blur
Super Furry Animals
Built to Spill
Modest Mouse
Pavement

And honestly I'm a massive 90s U2 apologist, I think all of those albums are fascinating and wonderful, even Pop and their Passengers side project with Brian Eno. They were on a very different wavelength from most mainstream bands of the time.

Know I'm late but, best artists of the 90s are IMO:

1. Lisa Germano
2. Fugazi
3. Red House Painters
4. Tortoise
5. Built to Spill
6. Dirty Three
7. Low
8. Nine Inch Nails
9. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
10. Morphine or Mercury Rev

HM: OutKast, Cul de Sac, Liz Phair, Yo La Yengo, Tom Waits

Probably forgetting some,

i get what you're saying. It has that frantic structure revolving around Hell's Angels Cracker Factory, which is absolutely amazing imo. Without that song the album makes no sense to me. All the tracks before feel like precursors to that track and the later ones are the damaged aftermath.

I was asking bands so I was almost right

I know you love your Suede and s*** but we both know its Oasis

Youre the Noel to my Liam

c***

thought so

what's this Passengers side project

Oh, only bands?

Radiohead
Outkast
Flaming Lips
U2
Pulp
Blur
Super Furry Animals
Built to Spill
Modest Mouse
Pavement

If And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out had dropped a year earlier, I would swap out Pavement for them.

Wayne has such an endearing warble

I’ll have to revisit it with that in mind. That’s really interesting. I was kind of baffled when I saw Scaruffi rated it the highest in their discography. I generally don’t really care about his opinion on work I love (mostly like him for discovering new things), but I’m curious sometimes. However I wanna fight him over his Lemon Twigs takes.

You’ll have to check out that Robert Lester Folsom record then. It’s like his voice over warm 70’s production.

We share a lot of the same favs.

It's really, really cool electronic ambient pop. Check it out when you have some time.
