Inspired by the Early / Middle / Late period threads and my random select throwing me
Oasis - Gas Panic! and
Primal Scream - Where the Light Gets in
Back to back…
Tracks from artists past their prime that cut through and approach the highs of their best work. Buried treasure, hidden gold. Things that might have been missed after 90% of the fan base drifted away or a legacy act going through the motions who alight upon something great.
Go…
Rolling Stones - Love Is Strong
Nobody needed 90s Stones (or 80s Stones really) but Voodoo Lounge had a couple of highslights (obv ymmv because it’s the Rolling Stones)…
People who call this album self indulgent are WEAK
Arguably more RTJ than DJ Shadow, but it still counts
I’m a bag of dicks
Put me to your lips
Could stick this on a playlist of imperial phase Pumpkins and it wouldn’t feel out of place, unlike 99% of the post 2018 reformation material and 90% of the post 2007 reformation material
Motorhead’s final album Bad Magic was their best in absolutely years and a fitting testament to Lemmy bowing out. Commercial success too - top ten in the UK, number one in Germany!
This is a fun video…
Their best song
Love Crystal - great shout
the single version (where they chuck in an extra chorus) is better than the album version as well
I also have a soft spot for Krafty
This one too
Works twice as Rivers Cuomo wrote it
Not sure the kids were crying out for a response record to Dave Bartholemew’s The Monkey, but there it is. Also enjoying the completely unnecessary Jenny Lewis video cameo.
And Blackstar
This for Bowie and ‘Songs of A Lost World’ for The Cure for me.
