Just listened that Lemon Kittens album, it´s really great! Going to listen the Big Dentist too. BTW I believe you are familiar with Boys Next Door/the Birthday Party?

Oh cool, where'd you find either album? I haven't found The Big Dentist anywhere myself (although I prefer to buy albums beforehand, so I may just be shooting myself in the foot; there's a good chance it's on Youtube).

I know of The Birthday Party, and I've listened to selections from Prayers on Fire, but I wasn't really all that impressed. As for Red Krayola, I've heard Parable of Arable Land a few times. It's great in concept, but the execution leaves me hanging. Perhaps it's just the sound quality; if nothing else I like a few of the Free Form Freakouts.

Yeah, Atom Heat Mother is a great one. Gotta love the symphonic touches on the title track and the slightly pastoral feel of the second side. I'd probably have it tied for first alongside Animals for my favourite Floyd album. I'm not a huge Floyd fan, though, so I haven't really taken the time to look into their solo careers. Any albums in particular you'd recommend I'd start with?

Camel - Mirage
Van Halen - Fair Warning
Van Halen - Women and Children First
Rush - Caress of Steel
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
SBB - Pamiec
Charlie Cawood - The Divine Abstract
Well, I have been huge Floyd-fan soon almost four decades, but a long time only solo album I`ve listened was Rogers Pros and Cons (not even any Gilmour albums). When Roger released his new one and Gilmour put out Pompeii, I decided to listen all the solos I can get. I think you just waste your time with them, none of them are not even close to the greatness of Pink Floyd albums (quite recently listened a Final Cut after a long time and it sounded much better than I thought, it´s better than any Rog`s solo). If you really want to try some, then listen Roger´s Is This the Life We Really want? If you like what Wright has done on Floyd, then Wet Dream will be your choise too.

Really funny, it´s not a long ago I listened Van Halen eighties album (there was also really long time I`ve listened them)

I think I read some other chain you like Country music too. I have never been big fan, but Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has been my long time favourite (their Uncle Charlie-album is sooo great!). Just recently I have started listen also Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson.

Totally agree about Odyshape! I found it just a few years ago and really accidentally. Some years ago somebody has recommended me Red Krayola (what do you like them?) then I noticed that Gina Birch who is in the Red Krayolas Kangaroo? album has been in the Raincoats and started to listen them. To me it seems for example the Slits is more respected than Raincoats even it´s not even near of the greatness of Raincoats. I will listen Lemon Kittens, thanx for the recommendation.

So absolutely great great great album, just like Dub Housing, New Picnic Time & the Art of Walking are too!

It's a fine album, but it doesn't quite reach the peaks of other post-punk acts (The Pop Group, Lemon Kittens) for me. I'll probably be getting Dub Housing relatively soon, however, so I'm looking forward to more inane ramblings over dissonant, screeching punk.

Have you heard The Marble Index or Desertshore? Both are great; the latter especially is an incredibly special album. 

Edit: In other news, happy 1000th point for me apparently. Seems like just yesterday I was but a prog pipsqueak, posting his first list on Kevin's Best Songs thread. And now I'm... well... living in the same hallway of the same dormitory while listening to much of the same music. Oh the ravages of time...

Absolutely! I would consider myself every bit as much of a Southern Rock fan as a prog fan, so the Allman Brothers definitely get some heavy rotation on my stereo. As do the Marshall Tucker Band, Outlaws, Charlie Daniels Band, Blackfoot, etc.

Anyway, just one album today:

Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
Well, I am not. Mostly listened just Lynyrd and Allman, quite recently listened all the Blackfoot albums from No reservations to Marauder, they´re all quite good. My brother used to be big southern fan, so I have heard all the bands you mentioned. Maybe listen some Outlaws some day...I remember I liked their Hurry Sundown album. Atom heart is my favourite Pink! Just have listened some of their solos first time, have to say Rog´s the best, although there are some great feelings in Wright´s first. Fictious Sports is also kind of interesting album, but not for the Nick´s sake. Like really Wyatt´s vocals in it.
