Closed Threads

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

White Light/White Heat

Sgt. Pepper would be an obvious one. I think it's overrated, but I think the studio tricks were still pretty influential.

Never Mind the Bollocks would be another obvious one.

As would Bowie/Eno on Heroes and Low.

Murmur ?

Oh, The Feelies Crazy Rhythms.

Dude, last 30 years.

Oops, sorry. Guess I'm stuck in the past.

Heh. Just yanking your chain. I can easily think of the canonical reinventing-the-studio from the 60s and early 70s. After that I have the nagging feeling that I'm missing a few. Also, while R.E.M. (for example) were widely imitated, I don't think their use of the studio was as innovative as (say) The Smiths.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

I do like Ana Ng! Really. I just like those other ones MORE.

There's very little *bad* TMBG, in my opinion.

Silence means security silence means approval

That is, records which exploited the studio in some new way such that records which came afterwards reflected that new approach to sound. Obvious examples range from Pet Sounds to It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back

I'm still not sure I get it. Is this a technical question or a musical question? Because these are two different things to me. Are you talking about the sort of technical innovations Tom Scholz did in his home studio, or the massively imitated "sound" of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I'm going to have to say Never Mind the Bollocks, because nothing sounded like it before. I don't know how much of that is technical, though, since I'm just a simple unfrozen caveman.

More like Loveless I guess.

The Talking Heads, Speaking in Tongues

I would've said Remain in Light or even My Life In the Bush of Ghosts was the breakthrough record.

Remain in Light

That's probably what I meant to type.
