Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
ludosti, I think it's very good. It's one of my Top Five. Among other things, Matt Bellamy finally reveals the full extent of his piano virtuosity.
On another note, Lylatov by Alain Lefèvre is remarkable. The title track alone is worth the sticker price of a CD. It's classical, for those who are into that (I am).

That album was already classic when you started liking it. I feel so old.

Dag! You know it!
I think that music has become part of the structure of my brain.
Starry, starry night. Portraits hung in empty halls, Frameless head on nameless walls, With eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the strangers that you've met, The ragged men in the ragged clothes, The silver thorn of bloody rose, Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
The album is firghteningly good. Did he do anything else of note?
I know most people just know American Pie, and maybe Vincent, but the whole thing is full of great music and lyrics.

I don't know - I never heard of anything else that he's done.
It is an incredible album. It's one of two that I own (Counting Crows' yellow album being the other one) that I never skip any songs on, no matter how many times I listen to it.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
Kat, that's one of my favorites too. I started liking it when american Pie was on the radio on the way to my grandma's one time. I bought it after we went to Chicago to see a Van Gogh exhibit. But I wouldn't say that no one pays attention to it, almost all my friends have the same cd, and whenever we're playing a lyrics game castles in the sky or jerusalem come up (the ones not just everyone knows), so maybe it's actually more popular with teens than you'd expect.
Posted by Lady Jane (Member # 7249) on :
Clearly I had the wrong friends in high school. I'm glad it's an album that still lives. That's my favorite kind of music - I like everything, but I LOVE a singer/songwriter and their guitar. I think it's made me pickier about music in general, because I expect every album to be as resilient and timeless as that one.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :

Pretty much anything recent from Jimmy Buffett. I really like the songs from 'Don't Stop the Carnival'.

"Unfinshed Life" is a pure wristslasher...just thinking about it makes me want to lay down and give up. I LOVE it tho!
I like March by Michael Penn. It is the one album I always like and seldom take out.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
"That album was already classic when you started liking it. I feel so old."
I am simply repeating your statement, Dag, and feeling even older.
Don McClean did a free concert in Boston a few years ago. My daughter, seven at the time, just loved him. She took her cd, and we waited in line for an hour after the concert to have him sign it. He was such a snot! He did not even look at her. American Pie Schmamerican Schmie!

Test for Echo? That album isn't ignored, it's despised. I love Rush, but other than the title track, that's got to be their worst album ever. It's definitely got the worst song they ever made.
I'm glad someone mentioned Rush, though. Great band. Just please choose a less embarrasing album. Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
Tick, I love the old Buffett. I haven't heard much that's recent, though.
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
solo, I loved the Refused I've heard. I'm really not sure why I haven't purchased one of their CDs yet...but I haven't.
I thought of a couple more CDs:
Attention Please by Caroline's Spine Cure for Pain by Morphine
Well, they got some attention when they came out...but nobody seems to care about them anymore.
Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :

Total disagreement. Driven and Resist are two of my all-time favorites of theirs and Half the World, Color of Right, Time and Motion, Dog Years, Totem, and Limbo all have nice moments. Carve Away the Stone and Resist are great sets of lyrics.
But then again, I actually liked "Virtuality" as well (which I presume you are talking about as the worst song they've ever done) so take all that with the proverbial salt grain.

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
By the way, SteveRogers, are you talking about Lines on my Face? Or is the CD called Time and Time Again? Or is that a different CD?
I have mixed feelings about Chronic Future, but it's really my duty as an Arizonan that likes hard rock to like their music.
Posted by Lost Ashes (Member # 6745) on :
I'm with Jim-Me on this one, but I like Totem and Half the World the best.
I loved Virtuality until I started to quote it one day and just had to shake my head. It is pretty lame.
But then again, I also really liked Roll the Bones and Presto. They aren't Signals or Hemispheres, but they are good listens.
Secretly, though, my favorites are often the instrumentals... YYZ still rocks.

Once I heard Moon had shut its doors, I ripped all my out of print stuff to hard drive, thus ensuring that I won't ever lose it.

I really like this thread because everyone has something that they really feel is unique to themselves, and we've got such a wide variety. What's bad, though, is that a small part of me wants my favorite "ignored" albums to stay that way, because they make me feel special. Does that make me an elitist? I'm always trying to get away from that. These are the albums I like that I've never seen anyone else have:
Phantom Moon by Duncan Sheik How did you find me here? by David Wilcox Veneer by Jose Gonzalez echoed: Modest Mouse albums before Good news.. both of Rory's Stitt's albums (great for solo piano lovers in the vein of Ben Folds) Sufjan Steven's albums other than Illinois Lemon Parade by tonic
Muse and Elbow are in my top 5 behind only Radiohead From what I understand, they're huge in Britain. I've got all of their albums Definitely get all of Muse's early albums--and Elbow's Asleep in the Back is my favorite falling asleep music.

Some of you may laugh me out of this thread, but I like Elton John's Leather Jackets (1986), even if many people including Elton himself hate it. It's definitely in the lower half of Elton's albums, but it has such a quintessential 80's synthesizer sound.
