Emmylou Harris, such a smoke show

and I'll shake you

music for infographics

You really can't talk about Don McLean without mentioning other artists: Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, Waylon, John Denver, etc.

lots of imagery around competing textures: barbwire concrete, metal firecracker, rubber on gravel

First time hearing. Good stuff

what he's looking at?

iViva la experimental! A lot of reviews at the time said the good outweighs the bad. But I think the "bad" is still good. It had major influence on other experimental, math rock bands.

Paul Williams is one of the best pop song writers of the 20th century. We've only just begun is a banger. And they've got a Horn in the woodwinds!

Method's debut. Cool but, this list doesn't dig too deep into rap. Mostly top of the pops stuff, Wu-Tang, and its members.

what am I listening for. . .the covers?

so don't you bring me down

the tribute to Damo Suzuki and Can is cute

turn on the samba jets

verryr, experimental. I mean the album begins in the middle of a song.

Still sounds modern. Good album.

I don't like morrissey, but this is a good album

Bloodbuzz Ohio was used in a commercial on Current TV like 15 years ago. Seems I'll always keep that association.

atmosphere

psychedelic indeed
