Agree with you. Great album, though usually I listen to the early stuff these days.  Goodbye Blue Sky one of my faves.

Karfagen - Echoes from Within Dragon Island

On the Raw - Climbing the Air

Both excellent albums, each in its own way. Though I do like the latter slightly more because it's funkier.

^ Todd played lead guitar and I think other Utopia types were involved. Daryl Hall always had an experimental urge in him, so most of the songs and ideas on that album were his. Todd just encouraged it, though he took the hit when the album was a commercial failure. Oates wasn’t all that comfortable with that direction anyway, so they returned to a more pop/soul approach from then on.

I think Abandoned Luncheonette is the peak of the early H&O. Very much a 50/50 creative effort from the duo, with someof the strongest songs from each individually and together (“She’s Gone” being the best example of a successful collaboration).

The Cars - live Houston 1984
Hall and Oates - Whole Oats
Hall and Oates - War Babies


Wow, what a difference between the first HO album and War Babies. The latter is pretty wild stuff courtesy of Todd Rundgren producing, I'd imagine.  The debut is sweet but just a bit undercooked.

Early REM can take some time to grow on you. I burned out on them years ago, but if not for them, I never would have gotten to see the Minutemen! :D

Yeah. I'm not a huge ELO guy, generally, but I can enjoy all of their albums. Discovery, Time, Balance...I like them all. 

Surprisingly, the REM left me pretty unaffected.

^^ I was pleasantly surprised by Balance of Power. Quite a good synth-based ELO record. Added it to my collection just a couple of years ago.

Beach Boys | Friends
Beach Boys | 20/20 (I find the Beach Boys very fascinating as a study in musical development, not just of the band as a whole but of individuals within the band, especially the Wilson brothers)
Reynols | Polos Mosco (file under truly weird outsider South American music)
Chris Squire | Fish Out of Water (first listen in many years to this wonderful solo album. a great companion to the 70s Yes albums, and of equal quality)
Big Dipper | Supercluster: The Big Dipper Anthology (continuing this 3 disc set from earlier this week. New to this early alt-rock band but man, practically every song has a cool hook, riff, or something to set it apart. It rocks, too)

Environmental sounds - red-winged blackbirds and crickets

My God you ALL have amazing taste . Clap
Love seeing DCD getting some air time with some of you gents .

And Mr . Holymoly. You don't wanna know what I shelled out to get that MFSL of Songs From The Big Chair. Confused
Worth it though for me since I'm nuts about fidelity and that album . Actually There are 2 bonus tracks on it. Shout (extended mix 8:46 ) and Everybody Wants to rule the World (5:24). Absolute heaven. Proggy in a way? You bet .Smile

Well gents . Just one album today on my way to work. 

The Prodigy-- The Fat of the land .( RIP Keith Flint .) what a shocker man . Sleepy
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

That stretch of three albums from Chord to Children's are my favorites. The amount of hallucinogenics that must've been involved... 

Those three are also my favorites...and hallucinogenics were a requirement.....for them and their listeners.

thanks for the Al Kooper pick, just finished that and loved it.  Any other gems from him?

Al Kooper’s albums are real consistent. I’d recommend “Easy Does It” to just about anyone (double album, 1970). Naked Songs is my 2nd favorite. I Stand Alone is his first (1968) and it has an adventurous Beatle-like vibe to it.
If you like one, you’ll probably like em all, I do.

He’s bestknown for his “Super Session” album with Bloomfield and Stills, but that is a different kind of thing- very jammy. His studio albums are tasteful, detailed affairs showing a strong command of musical forms and studio technique.
