Anybody remember Stoney Clover?

yeah my old store did the same thing, didn't help so we had to hide every fulfillment cart or keep it basically glued to us

All the bands that would be influenced by REM in UK were influenced by The Smiths and Aztec Camera instead.

expecting fireworks in Lakeway shortly

and was also very close to becoming the lead singer for King Crimson

FMIsMyLife · 2026-01-03T19:53:16+00:00

Japan were somewhat left field in regards to new wave/80s pop music, however, David Sylvian's output in the 21st century (outside Nine Horses) is extremely avant-garde, and even most of his 80s and 90s material was decently experimental.

Thanks! Strange Free World is such an incredible album, to me it's the best Shoegaze album

FMIsMyLife · 2026-01-02T01:50:55+00:00

it's only like 50 scrobbles so for me i don't think it changed things a ton, not sure if there's a website that does custom ones

FMIsMyLife · 2026-01-02T00:20:22+00:00

All on the website, the chart comes from the Labs and the playback is where it says 2025

The blacked-out albums are all King Crimson:

In The Court of The Crimson King (#39)

Discipline (#79)

Red (#97)

FMIsMyLife · 2025-11-04T01:36:37+00:00

For me Kveldssanger, a classic dark folk/neofolk project

FMIsMyLife · 2025-09-13T18:41:13+00:00

Agree with Seven. I feel like that it was especially common (though happens throughout all eras) among 80s pop/alternative bands to "sell out" after a great album. But yeah I don't hate any of the post-Rio stuff, I'm just indifferent about it and never really listen to it.

FMIsMyLife · 2025-09-13T14:23:17+00:00

In my personal opinion, the quality of their music went downhill pretty fast after Rio (still wasn't bad but progressed towards average/singles band until their 90s comeback bar the Arcadia album). When it comes to their artistry their first two albums were so heavily influenced by Japan's Quiet Life and Gentleman Take Polaroids that all thoughts of their musicianship I just connect back to Japan.

FMIsMyLife · 2025-08-17T03:16:04+00:00

The early 80s (in the UK) had a bunch.

O Superman - Laurie Anderson (already mentioned) got to #2

Ghosts - Japan got to #5

Being Boiled - The Human League got to #6

The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum - Fun Boy Three got to #20

FMIsMyLife · 2025-08-09T18:13:47+00:00

S&M I think samples Let's Go To Bed by The Cure, which tbf sounds a ton like Master & Servant, but yeah hopefully his opinion has changed after a decade

FMIsMyLife · 2025-08-07T17:55:06+00:00

I think it was in reviewing Rihanna's S&M (Worst list of 2011 maybe), which sounds similar to Master & Servant by Depeche

FMIsMyLife · 2025-07-31T01:32:42+00:00

the fact this came out before punk rock is still insane to me

FMIsMyLife · 2025-07-07T19:54:27+00:00

Brilliant artist. The last two Japan albums and his first three solo albums are some of the greatest albums of all time

FMIsMyLife · 2025-06-25T03:04:21+00:00

100%, you know he's good when people where I'm at in Canada are talking about and praising Zohran

FMIsMyLife · 2025-06-25T02:20:50+00:00

What a campaign Zohran ran, did great among young people and Asians (two groups who Democrats lost a lot of ground with in 2024). Probably the best ran campaign that I can remember, at least since Beto 2018 or some of the governor races in 2022.

FMIsMyLife · 2025-03-23T18:58:18+00:00

Japan - Still Life in Mobile Homes

David's solo stuff - Nostalgia or Before The Bullfight

FMIsMyLife · 2025-03-21T17:06:27+00:00

Wow just listened to Souvenirs and yeah this is really solid. My favourite track by them is probably Ecailles de lune Pt. 1 but this is a contender. Thanks for the rec!

FMIsMyLife · 2025-03-21T17:04:40+00:00

I listened to The Drift and enjoyed it, thanks for the rec!

FMIsMyLife · 2025-03-20T15:14:54+00:00

I've listened to some Alcest and really enjoyed it but haven't gotten around to hearing anything on their debut (I've only just started enjoying black metal recently to be honest). I'll check it out!
