  • What "Other" music do you listen to/recommend?

SM001 mostly first-time listens on Spotify, if I like what I hear I purchase on iTunes. Got way too many playlists on my iPhone to give up on Apple.

    Listen to loads of music. I have most albums from Prince, Depeche Mode, Talking Heads, Weller, Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, The Cure, Tame Impala, QOTSA, Radiohead, New Order, Bjork, PSB, NIN. Have a big vinyl disco and rare groove collection which is probably my first love.

      I quite often find Marc Riley is on 6Music when I’m ferrying the lad about of an evening - well before March anyway - and I’ve rediscovered that love of guitar based indy stuff - the latest ones being Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs etc., Savages , - Idols - sort of punk but not. Not as good as The Ruts obviously.

        baggers44 Oh …and I used to fucking hate Pink Floyd with vengeance but having listened to Radiohead I can sort of see how they were a big leap forward at the time and find myself drawn back to it.

          baggers44 I haven’t gone there mate, not yet anyway. Love Floyd, Beatles and Stones too. Wish you were here, DSOTM and Animals are all great.

              alistair They are great. I think they fell victim to the musical tribalism which used to abound at school. If you liked the Jam , The Who and Small Faces then Led Zeppelin and PF were way off side - with their greasy long hair, motorbikes and snakebite associations . All a bit Quadrophenia!

              Set the controls for the heart of the Sun - it blew me away when I heard it only a couple years ago. Years before it’s time . I only heard it when Gerber nicked it for a remix.

                  alistair Have a listen to Kind of Blue - its a sort of sit on your own of an evening with a glass of whiskey type of experience …..

                    baggers44 remember school tribalism. Lads hated George Michael at primary school cause the girls loved him. Dismissed him and met my missus in mid 90’s who is a fan so made me listen. Realised he was a bit of a genius

                        alistair he is! he wrote all the songs and sang them with that voice - was amazed when he went solo and realised he was a bit more versatile than Wham Rap! Tbf - he had shown signs of it before - he wrote careless whisper when he was 17 on a bus journey between Bushey and Watford - as you do!

                          baggers44 what about a bit of jazz A? Any Coltrane or Miles in there - a bit of bill evans?

                          My Favorite Things is one of my fav. Also: Archie Shepp and David Murray.

                          I’ve just listened to Jaco Pastorius’ debut, great album.

                            Neil Young is a firm fave

                            Have never listened to Tool before.

                            Can someone recommend me an album please?

                              Donna Summer
                              One of my most treasured disco records

                              Smallman1

                              Ænima is one. Beware, it’s very complex music with ever-changing time, it requires some concentration.

                                  Led Zeppelin. From Led Zep 1 to Physical Graffiti, they were peerless.

                                  sbando Ænima is one. Beware, it’s very complex music with ever-changing time, it requires some concentration.

                                  Cheers, will check out.

                                      Smallman1 It’s probably my favorite. They’re all amazing in their own way, but Ænima is just full on.

                                        sbando Flawless album.

                                        But I doubt Smalls will have his top off for Tool.
