I hope NPR Tiny Desk will feature some UK R&B too! SWV discography is one of the best catalog in R&B, the albums, the singles are well written, arranged and produced. Brian Alexander Morgan wrote and produced all their hits in their first album It's About Time, Taj and Coko co-wrote You're The One and Lelee co-wrote Don't Waste Your Time in their New Beginning album, Rain for me is their best song overall.
Let’s face it if your not English and of a certain age would these lyrics on this album make much sense? It is a superb album if you understand it fully…
I swear JPJ on bass is plucking 32nd notes on those runs. They're so clear and distinct! What skill!!! Robert's vocals, early in his career, were JUST FORMING -- hints of greatness to come. Page showing his lightning flashes of fretwork. Nothing needs be said about Bonzo's rhythm machine.
People have always loved to hate on #9, but I always liked it (even at 14 when this was new) BECAUSE it’s so weird. Had to figure out what was going on 😏 It is art made of sound. Sound art. Conceptual art was huge at the time and post-modernism (can mix styles) was gaining traction John was exposed to the avant garde art world by Yoko, and it fascinated him.
Great reaction my brother!!!! You know how to react let it play diding on the groove! These guys were beyond BADDASS I saw them three times live in the 70s. Killer Band !!!!
This band is actually one of the seminal punk bands. Here's the leader, Jonathan Richman, being interviewed at the beginning of this episode of the history of rock and roll put out by PBS. He is considered by many to be the father of punk rock. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ugtkNLgUJlc.htmlsi=4d5p89PxF8R87z7o
As a child born into the 70's, I have no idea where music has gone. It all seems so bland but it maybe my age. The Beatles albums are sublime, exciting, still intersting and changed the world.
En la versión original del álbum, "Her majesty" no iba incluida. Los miembros de la banda, sin embargo, dejaron anotado que ese minuto, al final, debía ser cortado; pero, por algún error, los técnicos lo incluyeron. Pero el disco debía concluir con "The end". A la banda le pareció un error gracioso, así que decidieron dejarlo así.
Congratulations, you have just finished listening to the best album of all time. No go back and listen to it again another 300, 400, or 500 times like the rests of us have. It just gets better and better.
About five years ago, ten of my friends were working on a car one evening. The conversation got around to the question, you can only listen to one album for the rest of your life, which would choose? There were ten different answers. I said Abby Road. Immediately six others other changed their vote to this one. They had forgotten just how great it really is.
It took me a month to get past the first four songs on this album when it came out. I had a movie playing in my head that ran through those songs and as soon as the fourth song was over, I needed to go back and restart track one. OK Computer may be the better album overall, but Kid A is my favorite.
if you want to get a good feel as to why so many of us think Radiohead is right up there with bands like the Beatles and Pink Floyd try the two live in the studio sessions they did from the basement. Both shows are incredible and the In Rainbows session has songs from Kid A and Hail To The Thief as well. There are no copyright issues with the In Rainbows session either so you don't have to chop it up. The other session for the King Of Limbs does have copyright issues so be warned.
So the last track Untitled was a hidden track, if you waited and listened to silence to silence for a few minutes on the CD album it would play this. It was a little bonus or maybe resurrection of the next life he talked about on the track before
Yep, hidden tracks were a thing that CD technology introduced, not really practical on older formats, and are also kinda lost on streaming services. A gimmick of the era, a lost art. I can't remember which but I had an album where the hidden track was padded to track number 99 with dozens of blank tracks filling the space.
How to Disappear Completely is based on a mantra Michael Stipe from REM gave to Thom when he was struggling during the OK Computer tour. Full of "Blown speakers and hurricanes".
You would think "In Rainbows" would be somewhere on that list. Many RH fans think it's their best. Personally, I could never choose between those 3 and AMSP. To me they're all 4 "top 10" albums of all time.
@@SR91313 I was going to say that very thing In Rainbows is probably their best record when it's all said and done but they're all great even the King Of Limbs from the basement is incredible.
This is a popular opinion that Kid A or Ok Computer is THEE album, but i would Argue Hail to the Thief is where Radiohead peaked in creativity and complexity. Yes there are masterpieces scattered through out many albums, but as a whole, Hail to the Thief is the most immpresive album of theirs.
