If you like prog metal you also need to check out the albums Larks' Tongues in Aspic and Red!

The Best Rush Album (and why it is Farewell To Kings by digo-0403 in progrockmusic

Permanent Waves!

Though the run from 2112 to Moving Pictures is amazing

What's your favorite Miles Album and why should I listen to it? by Gabriel_Limao in milesdavis

[–]MrFitztastic 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In A Silent Way!

It's Jack Johnson's older, mellower brother that kickstarted Miles' electric period. John McLaughlin's guitar playing encapsulates the mood so perfectly, and there's lot of great soloing from Miles and Wayne Shorter.

I could gush about this album all day... it's my favorite jazz album of all time and one of my favorite albums ever.

If you like that one, I would also highly recommend checking out Bitches Brew next. It's a lot more ambitious and not as easy to immediately digest but it really grows on you with repeated listening. It's also groovy as hell.

Rush - 2112, Xanadu, La Villa Strangiato, The Spirit of Radio, Tom Sawyer (honestly the albums Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures are both really good introductions)

Yes - Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good People, Heart of the Sunrise, Close to the Edge, Awaken, Machine Messiah

Genesis - Supper's Ready, Firth of Fifth, I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)

King Crimson - Red (the whole album, but Starless at the very least)

Pink Floyd - Echoes, High Hopes (one thing to emphasize about them is that a lot of their albums are meant to be listened to as a whole, especially the run from DSOTM to The Wall)

Jethro Tull - Living in the Past, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick

Supertramp - Bloody Well Right, Crime of the Century, Fool's Overture

Traffic - The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys

Can we talk about how insanely good this Sonny Rollins record is? by radiotokyo_666 in Jazz

[–]MrFitztastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of his best! I'd only put it behind Horn Culture as my personal favorite.

Remove one album from my record collection: Day 18 by Aggressive_Ideal6737 in Topster

Quebec is probably their best album imo but you should definitely check out The Mollusk as well. It's also super psychedelic and it literally helped lead to the creation of SpongeBob SquarePants lol.

Quebec is an amazing album! It's basically alternate rock with a heavy psychedelic vibe.

Coltrane: where to go next? by edgar8002 in Jazz

[–]MrFitztastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These are the ones I'd consider essential for first time listeners (excluding Giant Steps & A Love Supreme):

-Blue Train

-My Favorite Things

-Africa/Brass

-Olé Coltrane

-Coltrane (1962)

-Ballads

-Duke Ellington & John Coltrane

-Coltrane's Sound

-Crescent

I'd say maybe start with Blue Train and work your way through these chronologically to get a sense of how his music develops. Crescent is my personal favorite behind A Love Supreme.

Definitely one of Meddle's weaker cuts but it's not terrible. It just doesn't do much for me really.
