I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

There will be a lot of jazz: Sun Ra Peter Brotzmann J Coltrane A Braxton Bang On A Can J Zorn The Thing Merzbow I can only think of 8 atm it seems. It seems I like prog. |
Albert Ayler? Ornette Coleman? George Adams? Derek Bailey? |
Hmm...Ayler was a big miss for me. He totally deserves to be on my list. Asmuch as I love Bailey, his solo discog has too much solo guitar for me to rate it too highly. But he has produced some great stuff. Good suggestions all.

I always think more in terms of albums. There are many bands that have produced some of my favorite albums, but then I either haven't heard much of their other material or don't like their other material.

I was thinking this over. I included both Manic Street Preachers and Massive Attack on my list, on the basis that I couldn't possibly live without either This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours or Blue Lines, but do those groups really belong on my top ten list? So how do you categorize a group that produced one brilliant album when you're kind of "meh" about the rest of their output? and how different would a top ten non-prog album list look from a top ten non-prog band list? Hmm, I sense another thread in the offing. |
Indeed. Television's Marquee Moon is one of my favorites, but I couldn't put them on my list for just one album. On the other hand, And Also the Trees, the Fall, and Boris have had long runs without a single bad album that I've heard, yet their albums may mean less to me than some others by one-great-album bands. I also didn't include more recent bands or ones that maybe are my favorites now, but haven't quite received a tenure. My list was very safe.
