I certainly don't always agree with Blow Up. For example, I find their top 3 albums of 2006 (1. Joanna Newsom - Ys, 2. Liars - Drum's Not Dead, 3. Scott Walker - The Drift) very difficult to enjoy. But this might be the most interesting list I've ever seen. I really like the ones I've heard and I'm eager to check out the rest! Thanks!! |

Blow Up always avoid obvious choices.  Sometimes their choice could appear too much unconventional, but it's certainly the best italian music magazine. I'll post sooner other lists dealing with cover songs and italian songs |

The gems: (so far) Robert Wyatt - Sea Song Elliot Smith - Memory Lane Richard Harris - Macarthur Park Lou Christie (!) - Paint America Love C.A. Quintet - Trip Thru Hell Marlena Shaw - California Soul By chance I discovered Funkadelic - Promental...Enema Squad as well. Probably belongs... Robert Wyatt - "Little Red Riding Hood Hit The Road". Liquid Liquid has the coolest first 20 sec of a song...the sound that Syd Barret makes after 2.17 in "Feel" is...Syd?...Gil Scott-Heron! Phil Ochs - "Small Circle Of Friends" and Julie Andrews "My Favourite Things" is hard to erase once entered...Soap Shop Rock grows... |

66. Townes Van Zandt – Pancho And Lefty Worthy of much acclaim. Glad it got some. Another Texas outlaw-folk gem worth checking out is "L.A. Freeway" by Guy Clark. |

The gems The whole album is great, and is IMO one of the few truly undiscovered lost classics out there. Who woulda thunk? C.A. Quintet - Trip Thru Hell Really glad you like these, too. By chance I discovered Funkadelic - Promental...Enema Squad as well. Probably belongs... There's TONS of great P-Funk. Very hard to pick just one... Liquid Liquid has the coolest first 20 sec of a song... I presume you've heard Grandmaster Flash's "White Lines"? If not, check it out... Gil Scott-Heron! YES!

Re: Blow Up - 100 songs to remember (December 2006)
I'm so VERY pleased you liked all those tracks. It really makes this insane process of listing stuff worthwhile. It also scares me a bit how much great, unsung music there is out there -- the canon could really use some freshening up from time to time! Oh, and considering some of the things you like, you really should give jazz a shot. Donald Byrd is a jazz artist, and Gil Scott-Heron has a lot of jazz elements in his music. You should give Charles Mingus a try; almost everyone I know who likes adventurous rock loves Mingus. |
