...in which Che dates himself as being an old fart... In compiling these, I'm laying out the albums that really changed the way I heard music, albums I can still listen to & hear something new...in vaguely chronogical order (of experience, not release)... The Who - Quadrophenia Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon (Ok, I can't listen to DSOTM any more - I have a complete copy of it in m head, so I don't need to anyway) Robert Fripp - Exposure (this one really dropped a bomb on me in high school. My friends thought I was nuts.) King Crimson - Lark's Tongue In Aspic King Crimson - Discipline Brian Eno - Here Come The Warm Jets (esp. Baby's On Fire) Brian Eno - Discreet Music Brian Eno - Another Green World Brian Eno/David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts David Bowie (w/ an assist from Eno) - Heroes XTC - Black Sea Kraftwerk - Computer World New Order - Blue Monday 12" YMO - Technodelic Japan - Gentlemen Take Polaroids Wire - The Ideal Copy Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back 808State - Newbuild (yes, I heard it before 90) 808State - Utd. State 90 (I'm still waiting for a Techno album to top this one) Richard Harris - The Yard Went On Forever (Waits & Cave only wish they could be this sick) Martin Denny - Exotica Various - Biorhythms 2 (unbeknownst to me, the revolution happened in Detroit while I wasn't listening) Black Dog - Live In Toronto Amon Tobin - Permutations (this one is so good I have trouble listening to anything else) yeah, I know, heavy on the Fripp & Eno, but they did more to change the way I listen to music than anyone... Props to: Public Image Ltd., George Clinton, Devo, Captain Beefheart, Kate Bush, The Cocteau Twins, The Cure, The Smiths, Coldcut, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams Sr., Frank Sinatra, Perez Prado, Jon Hassell, Harold Budd, Model 500, The Orb, Autechre, Global Communication, TPower, and uh oh, The Grateful Dead. Che rock - rok (v.) - having a conventional and/or boring nature. ex: "Khakis rock". "That Rolling Stones show rocked". syn: suck.
