my namesake...by Paganizer
Fleetwood and Doobies were the perennial examples of anti-TP. The ones that make me run for skatepunk. I've since come to appreciate Buckingham's chops and Johnston's arrangement skills. But I can't even type the other guy's name. Likewise there are elements of Steely Dan I appreciate today. But to actually listen to any of them... But the thing I like to point outby Paganizer
It's the logical progression from Flesh + Blood. I love the simple guitar line in Take a Chance with Me; Yanick in the title track; the headphone spaciness of True to Life; the typical Ferry cool irony of Main Thing. I can even sit through the opening track though it was the theme song of my first wedding. It plays as a trilogy with Boys & Girls and Bête Noire, all of which have the sameby Paganizer

Avalon is great (even the worst, Manifesto, is not execrable), but Rhett Davies isn't usually lumped-in with that '80s sound. There are several components of that sound, but to oversimplify, it's the gated reverb. It was started by the Thin White Duke himself.

Don Williams should be noted also one of the dudes from Molly Hatchet btw - metal is as big right now as it's ever beenby Paganizer
i think you mean he made his own playlistby Paganizer
wow - i was! went outside to sell an extra tix and had a long convo with grant. actually every time i saw them i talked to him it's not often said but he was cool & intellectual i just watched that movie earlier this year> it's well worth the $1.99 stream!! i'm tearingby Paganizer
BTW - I think zwirm's bulls-eye's epigrammatic re:LCD And I was just going to say: every song is 3x as long as needed to be at their most effectiveby Paganizer
National timing LCD indeed, the first that's listenable ; i.e. written. I hear Bowie and Pavementand while we're oot and aboot Yawpers - Boy in a Well maybe their best Weddoes - Home Internationals after all these years, they become experimental on the last coupla War on Drugs - Deeper certainly some nice trax so far Pains of BPaH probably not going to smack yr snack The Fall youby Paganizer
The cutting-edge angle is relative to their OWN peers: Lorde Halsey Katy Perry TLC SZA The one I can't figure out is Ed Sheeran. Okay, inoffensive pap. But 10x platinum??by Paganizer
Yes, but you have the critical background for that exegesis. I otherwise paired HAIM with Spice Girls, which clearly wasn't fair. But Go-Gos isn't apt, as far as magazine-cover-all-female-play-their-instruments.by Paganizer

After the Snow has never left my turntable rotation. I spin it once a year or so. They had great live performances at the time and I liked Ricochet Days almost as much. They went generic pop on Stop/Start and the earlier stuff is weird Early-Cocteau Twins-Wax and Wane/Bauhaus-Gothic-Bela's Dead and with ambient experimentation. So pretty much a 2-LP catalog. I listened to their two reform Lby Paganizer
I have so many stories on this subject... But I figure people would still be this way were the following criteria met: *The internet and video games were non extant distractions *People could actually tell one rap band from another *Camaros, Firebirds and Fieros were still top-sellers tl;dr - People don't change, Detroit does Breno - The world won't end.

It was Diamond Dogs, on that import K-tel Bowie, that was unique to that release - I remember completists sending out tendrils - but I see it was since released on Diamond Dogs 30th Anniversary. I don't think the unique edit of Life on Mars is since elsewhereby Paganizer
to be clear they weren't singing something stupid by frank sinatra, they were singing something stupid by frank sinatra but after searching The Sound Effects - the simulacra in my family's giant wood console* predated the venerable TSE Seems the phenomenon peaked before them - surely it was too easy to just grab an ensconced and biding second rate wrecking crew and churn *nby Paganizer

breno in my mind there is both fawning concordance to your memory-flash anecdote and a brilliant exegesis on the phenomenon. but sans a rollback on my indolence: *did that market crash due to education of public? *was it a social leftover from the sheet music generations? *they were sold as tie-ins to things like dishwash soap *one of ours had them singing both Monkees and Frank Sinatraby Paganizer
new Bowie (unless you were in isolation) new Besnard Lakes (good) new Eleanor Freidberger (her best) new White Denim (70s done with originality, melody, depth and without bellbottom cliches) new Wussy (still getting better) new Iggy (an Iggy statement if there ever was one) new Suede (2nd best ever) new Mould (some choice ones) new Autolux (not sure yet) new TacoCat (like cross of Pavement>Slby Paganizer
Bowie was my in. I was listening to my older siblings pop albums,a young american, when the Heroes video came out and I went and bought ChangesOne and discovered the music under the floor and out in the spaceship. Realizing that one of the greatest musicians of all time might not be on the pop chart - might be unknown to everybody in my town. And there were more and more. Eno meant Roxy Musicby Paganizer
