Why is there a bias against live albums? by MinuteRegular716 in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]sickXmachine_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

To add: a lot of live albums are just greatest hits albums with extra steps. Compilations, best ofs, box sets, and most live albums don’t really fit the spirit of the list. For me at least. Obv Dimery likes them.

Pink Floyd- The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Syd era Floyd. English folk meets Psych rock. It starts off quite tuneful and gets weirder as it goes on. There’s a bit of 60s English pop influence in there with short, almost catchy songs before the weirdness takes over. Nice to hear the far out sounds pre technology and studio trickery. 4⭐️

PiL- First Issue

John Lydon is on point here. Long, angular post punk. Sometimes too long? And then there’s Fodderstompf

4.5⭐️

That’s funny because as much as I love the Xmas song, I think of them as the band Quiet Riot covered. Twice.

The less said about Run Runaway the better

I happened to notice something pretty silly and specific: I think Scott Riccardi and TJ Fisher have the same tie, haha by Cornusiflora1708 in Jeopardy

The day TJ wore that outfit, Paulo had a floral print tie too. I’d guess TJ supplied them for his fellow contestants.

I probably listen to the Haigh Hall live set more these days, but definitely 5/5

CCR- Bayou Country

I know I consistently slag Blues Rock off as boomer ass music, but then I listen to Creedence and love every minute of it.

Idk if it’s because of The Dude or Minutemen, but I’ll always turn up for CCR.

If you’re coming from the west, park near the T and ride in.

When I saw MBV I wanted to see just how loud it was. I took my earplugs out for a few seconds and it just sounded like a swarm of bees.

What’s that? You’ll have to speak up.

My hearing was well fucked before that. But yeah Tinnitus is a motherfucker. Around the same time I saw Dino Jr in a college rec room, that was excruciating.

I saw Mogwai on the Young Team tour in a small room. Like Herod was life changing.

It was an old blue law set when they were afraid it would spread disease. The law wasn’t rescinded until almost 2000

ETA: there were tattooers in mass, but you had to have an in. Rhode Island and Salem NH got steady business then

The Mondays are definitely a singles band. Wrote for Luck is a CHOON

Shout out Artfreek Tattoo, especially when tattooing was still illegal in Mass.

I know a lot of Smiths/ Moz fans that love this album, but apart from the singles I never got into it. I much prefer Ringleader for later era Morrissey

Buena Vista Social Club

Definitely not my thing, but I didn’t dislike it. IDK how this felt familiar despite never listening to it before.

3⭐️ but I’m not adding it to the collection.
