Oh and big ups to the person who listed Bad Religion's Against The Grain. I fucking love that record!

Haha, that comparison never gets old to me. I love it.

monster island czars - escape from monster island
bardo pond - lapsed
the jesus lizard - bang

acid mothers temple - troubadours from another heavenly world
harmonia - musik von harmonia

I love that album. It is like Joy Division's "shadowplay" mixed with every Echo and the Bunnymen song ever. Tons of epic guitar overdubs. Amazing album. Everything else they did sucked though..

Ten Jazz LP's for Rob Instigator to love forever


Miles Davis - Birth of The Cool
Charles Mingus - The Black Saint & Sinner Lady
Ornette Coleman - The Shape Of Jazz To Come
Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else
Herbie Hancock - V.S.O.P. the Quintet
Thelonious Monk - Monk's Music
Thelonious Monk - Underground
Ornette Coleman - Science Fiction

Very nice list, haven't heard everything in it but Science Fiction and Somethin' Else are some of the best jazz albums I've heard !

interesting Rob. A lot of good records, though not a lot of my picks. BIRTH OF THE COOL is the cat's balls though. KIND OF BLUE is great as well. I'm not all that into SKETCHES myself.

Monk was the shiz thouhg. Who cares what record? They're all brilliant (corners).

With yr tastes, I can't believe there's no Trane in there.

What's interesting is how many of these bands I've never heard of. I suspect that they are mostly from the nineties. I think Sonic Youth maybe the only band to escape the eighties. Just a bunch of one hit wonders for the most part or two chords 8 albums otherwise known as Utwo.

who are you talking about??

I do love me some 'Trane but I frankly listen more to his work with Miles in the early quintet than to his solo stuff.
I do have 4-6 of his solo records and they are all good.

thelonious is the shit though, any album is choice

Many of the bands listed that I don't know I'm guessing are from the nineties. The fact that I'm 57 it surprises me how much I've missed.

bands in the eighties where mostly one hit wonders other than Sonic Youth and U2 who only played 2 chords on 8 albums.

Is that clear for you?

it's still pretty vague since you're not naming bands.

in no order

Sonic Youth "Sonic Nurse"
SubHumAnS "The Day the Country Died"
Bob Marley "Natty Dread"
Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus "Nyabhingi"
deftones "Around the Fur"
sleater-kinney "hot rock"
black sabbath "Vol IV"
jimi hendrix "electric ladyland"
nirvana "in utero"
pink floyd "dark side of the moon (live)"

Trane-wise please tell me you have MY FAVORITE THINGS???

show me the cover of this album so I know what yr talking about?

awesome list

monster island czars - escape from monster island (YES! YES! YES! Most ppl don't get HOW f'ing amazing this album is. Do you have the 2 MONSTA MIX albums that X-Ray put out? They're basically 2 more albums by this same MIC lineup and others. This was THEEE best MIC lineup. Sad it disolved)

I'm guessing it's a bootleg recording from their 1975 tour. I have one from June 18, 1975 at the Boston Garden which I was fortunate to attend and to this day is one of the top 3 shows I have ever witnessed.

its the Pulses disc two

oh word. I don't have that one. I should check it.
