I can pin-point the exact moment chronologically that I get off the Stereolab bus and that's "Monster Sacre" toward the end of Tomato Ketchup. (The title track right before it is of course one of my favourite Stereolab songs)

flamboyant goon tie included, Friday, 1 March 2019 16:46 (six years ago)

i listened to Dots and Loops once and knew it was over for me. I wanted buzzy punchy moog-heavy dance/pop

calumy (rip van wanko), Friday, 1 March 2019 16:53 (six years ago)

^^ that's what my experience was

Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Friday, 1 March 2019 16:54 (six years ago)

"Monster Sacre" is such a pretty and forlorn song though! Also interesting rework of an Erik Satie piece.

This is the thread for controversial music opinions. This is the thread for all this Stereolab talk: "Their early stuff was better"

everything, Friday, 1 March 2019 21:42 (six years ago)

Dots & Loops is best Stereolab LP, Margarine Eclipse is #2, there's your controversy?

ETK is ruined by Cybele's Reverie, a great single which does not fit on there at all.

Between her and leikeli47 I’m happy that Missy is being felt if not justly beafied

here's a proposition: there's virtually no instrumental rock or pop music that wouldn't be improved by some sort of vocal

imago, Friday, 8 March 2019 12:10 (six years ago)

Nice try.

― imago

Easily falsified by thousands of techno, trance and house club hits, subsequently rereleased with added vocals to score a chart hit.

Siegbran, Friday, 8 March 2019 13:27 (six years ago)

Also, Rush.

Siegbran, Friday, 8 March 2019 13:28 (six years ago)

those aren't rock or pop imo xp

give me a break, oscillate wildly is just about the only smiths song i can bear now

kolarov spring (NickB), Friday, 8 March 2019 13:41 (six years ago)

but yeah, could you imagine albatross with vocals? or popcorn or nut rocker or green onions or telstar

kolarov spring (NickB), Friday, 8 March 2019 13:43 (six years ago)

i can imagine albatross with vocals, yes

they go as follows: "this is no ordinary chocolate trifle..."

imago, Friday, 8 March 2019 13:48 (six years ago)

:D

kolarov spring (NickB), Friday, 8 March 2019 13:53 (six years ago)

'Albatross' by Fleetwood Mac sung by a pair of horny albatrosses

LJ that's as bad a controp as I've seen but I perversely want to hear someone try YYZ with vocals

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 8 March 2019 15:02 (six years ago)

I mean, "rock and pop" are predominantly vocal musics and a lot of the best instrumental examples are pushing the definitional categories (you could e.g. argue that Mahavishnu Orchestra and GYBE, or even "YYZ", are something other than pop or rock). NickB's counterexamples seem strongest. I don't want vocals on Dick Dale. 2xp!

The Chantays - was trying to remember who did "Pipeline"

what about the theme from Star Wars?

sarahell, Friday, 8 March 2019 15:05 (six years ago)

Do big band era hits count as pop?

The Shadows' hits dried up when they started singing.

The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Friday, 8 March 2019 16:41 (six years ago)

this was more a test-the-waters than an actual cast-iron opinion, but I have seen far too many support bands that could really have done with, yknow, a singer

imago, Friday, 8 March 2019 16:50 (six years ago)

Tim Booth (lead singer of James) regularly cites Patti Smith as his biggest influence, and despite James not really having the same truck as Patti in the critical world I immensely prefer Tim both as a writer and singer

flamboyant goon tie included, Saturday, 16 March 2019 16:50 (six years ago)

I think I feel the same away about almost anybody she is said to have influenced. Much respect but those records, eh

heinrich boll weevil (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 16 March 2019 17:35 (six years ago)

think not liking Patti Smith is more a "controversial opinion" than a controversial opinion these days

L'assie (Euler), Saturday, 16 March 2019 17:42 (six years ago)

I unabashedly still love her first three albums, and plenty of what came later, which seems more controversial these days.

All along there is the sound of feedback (Sund4r), Saturday, 16 March 2019 18:31 (six years ago)

Oh don’t get me wrong I do love Patti Smith

flamboyant goon tie included, Saturday, 16 March 2019 18:47 (six years ago)

Kraftwerk, Roxy Music and David Bowie are considered to be the holy trinity of influences on synthpop/new romantic etc. but personally I think Pink Floyd (Meddle to Animals) should also be in there.

Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Friday, 29 March 2019 16:25 (six years ago)

Not saying no one was familiar with PF, but if you asked say Daniel Miller or Robert Rental who they were listening to, I think they'd claim their influences were Wendy Carlos, Tomita, Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Can and Faust on the instrumental side.

with Chew Guard™ technology (Sanpaku), Friday, 29 March 2019 18:22 (six years ago)

Daniel Miller was a fan of early rock'n'roll (hence the Silicon Teens), The Beach Boys and The Kinks. Also Can, and yes, Pink Floyd.

Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Friday, 29 March 2019 19:04 (six years ago)

John Foxx? Pink Floyd fan - even covered 'Have a Cigar' ... Andy McCluskey also a Pink Floyd fan, confessing as much on OMD's forum a few years back. Alan Wilder of Depeche Mode chose Meddle as one of his favourite LP's in a Quietus article. Phil Oakey said Floyd were his "model of what a band should be" in a 2003 interview...

Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Friday, 29 March 2019 19:10 (six years ago)

David Gilmour is on Duran Duran side project Arcadia's LP, and I'm fairly certain he didn't end up on there by accident.

Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Friday, 29 March 2019 19:13 (six years ago)

no, he ended up there because money

recriminations from the nitpicking woke (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 29 March 2019 19:15 (six years ago)

Vince Clarke chose The Dark Side of the Moon as one of his favourite LP's for the Quietus, too.
