Can’t get the following song out of my head at the moment:
Ah another FF fan! I love them, it’s great that he’s still writing music even after his assassination!

Surprised @Martha didn’t know the famous alltime classic “Rock Lobster”…the track that induced John and Yoko to come out of retirement in 1980!I bought that Spiritualized album 20 years ago, and didn’t care for it. And even though the spooky voices are kinda cool, maybe modern day Floydish, that track is still pretty meh to me. Turn it down.
This track…this is what I’d hoped/expected that Spiritualized album would’ve sounded like at the time I bought it…

Apart from Silver Machine, I’ve never had much appreciation for Hawkwind, turn it down to 0.
As for Spiritualized, @Martha, @Von Bontee @vonbontee, I always preferred Jason Pierce’s former band, Spacemen 3. The break-up of Jason and Pete Kember was as up-there heartbreaking as the split between Morrissey and Marr. The Perfect Perscription remains one of my Top 20 albums of the ’80s, with this rewrite of the old spiritual Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dying Bed, best known by Dylan’s version of Josh White’s retitled In My Time of Dyin’ version:

Offline Haha I also owned a Spacemen 3 album back in the 90s, that I likewise bought hoping for some kind of Hawkwindian space-flight rock.

I know, I know, shame on me, I’m young and foolish and there’s still so much great music for me to discover, including lots of all-time classics.
(But I’m getting there!)
So little love for the heartbreakingly beautiful ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, We’re floating through space’? Oh well, I guess I’m just too sentimental.
Anyway, I like the Spacemen 3 track quite a lot, it has something almost meditative about it due to the many repetitions. Turn it up!
Here’s something I’ve discovered on Bandcamp, it’s quite new, from August this year. (Btw, if you want to skip the creepy voices at the beginning, go to1:30, but I wouldn’t recommend doing so)
Not once does the diversity seem forced -- the genius of the record is how the vaudevillian "When I'm 64" seems like a logical extension of "Within You Without You" and how it provides a gateway to the chiming guitars of "Lovely Rita. - Stephen T. Erlewine on Sgt Pepper's

Young maybe but far from foolish – you’ve posted lotsa great stuff here that I’ve never heard! (Or have, as the case may be.) I just wanted to mention the B52s significance, Beatles-lore-wise.

Offline Turn it up. I’ve heard very good things about that album but not listened to it in full yet.
I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

Offline Haven’t played that song since 1992 or so! It’s not one I have any special fondness for…but it’s not bad, and JD is too legendary a band for me to do anything but turn it up. A little bit.

Offline I loved the humour in that song and also the sound of Iggy Pop’s and Deborah Harris’s voices, I could have listened to them talking all day because their voices sound so great and when they sing, it’s even better! Turn it Up so much that the collision of Mars and Earth at the end can be heard in its lifelike volume.

Offline That Blondie/Iggy cover wasn’t what I expected – I’d known they’d done that song but I always expected it would be a more traditional elegant swing song rather than new wave-grunginess…
Turn that Ty Segall track up 3 1/2 notches! It’s catchy and I like the production. Falsetto kinda reminds me of T. Rex and I love the piano and recorder soloing.

Offline So now I’ve finally heard The National! Reminds me of a few assorted ’80s alternative bands I used to hear at my old college radio station. Bit of Joy Division, maybe. It’s not really my sort of thing (wasn’t back then, either) but it builds nicely….good enough to be turned up a bit.

Offline Oh, I love this one, the first violin’s impersonation of a singing bird and the overall light, bouncing character of the piece warms my heart everytime. Turn it up and play air-violin to it!
Sorry for posting the whole sonata, I actually only wanted to show the second movement but I love this recording of Pollini so much and he only plays the whole. But I marked the beginning of the second movement. It’s only about seven minutes long ( I think), don’t worry.
