most of all the one of the ones that cannot (it seems) be mentioned. you know the one i'm talking about.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 8 July 2005 10:08 (twenty-one years ago)

when i say "most of them" i mean that i have not heard scott or scott 2.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 8 July 2005 10:11 (twenty-one years ago)

"I'm just getting into Scott Walker"

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Friday, 8 July 2005 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

good for you.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 8 July 2005 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Scott 3, I guess.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 8 July 2005 15:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Probably "Scott 2", if "all" is not acceptable.

― Billy Pilgrim (Billy Pilgrim), Friday, 8 July 2005 16:17 (twenty-one years ago)

It really depends.. I'm in Scott/Scott 2 moods, then I'm in Scott 3/Scott 4 moods, then I'm in Climate Of Hunter moods.. and occasionally I want to retreat into Tilt for a very long time.

― donut e- (donut), Friday, 8 July 2005 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been digging '60s Walker for a while, but I finally heard one of his '70s "rock" albums and it was fantastic. Shit, I can't rememebr the name though. Anybody? Damn was it great.

― Justin Farrar (Justin Farrar), Friday, 8 July 2005 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Til The Band Comes In?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 8 July 2005 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Donut otm.

― Leon C. (Ex Leon), Friday, 8 July 2005 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i need to get "Climate...".

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 8 July 2005 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

y'know what's rilly rilly good? Scott's cuts on the Walker Brother's Nite Flights (1978): "Fat mama Kick," "Shut Out," the very spooky "Electrician" and the thrilling title cut.

the other tunes are by the other Walker bros, and are thus utter piffle.

― veronica moser (veronica moser), Friday, 8 July 2005 17:13 (twenty-one years ago)

climate of hunter!!

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 8 July 2005 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

shut out = scott walker disco, or am I thinking of another track?

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 8 July 2005 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

No, you're otm, Dan.

Also, the box is fantastic.

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Friday, 8 July 2005 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i have an article on scott walker that goes up on tuesday. my favorite of the original four is probably scott 4.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 July 2005 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i loathe his ingmar bergman 'adaptation' on that one

yes shut out is discoriffic

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 8 July 2005 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

you should see the video, scott wears a sweatband and pulls out some crazy moves on the dancefloor

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 8 July 2005 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

what other songs does he have that are like "hero of the war" and "get behind me"? also, does he scat on many other of his songs?

― albrecht, Friday, 8 July 2005 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

what other songs does he have that are like "hero of the war" and "get behind me"?

Are these songs supposed to be in the same style?

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Friday, 8 July 2005 17:58 (twenty-one years ago)

no, but they're relatively upbeat and energetic, and sound to me to be the most accessible on the album. and they have scatting.

― albrecht, Friday, 8 July 2005 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

4 is a bit inconsistent style-wise and quality wise, but mostly great. I also have no time for the Bergman song, but do love the faux-soul of Get Behind Me. My favorite songs are probably on 2, but 3 flows the best as a total record, maybe that's just because I got 3 first. I actually don't have 1.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 8 July 2005 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

"hero of the war" upbeat?!

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 8 July 2005 20:11 (twenty-one years ago)

seven months pass...

can someone provide me a link to a chronological list of ALL the scott stuff? it's maddeningly hard to work out what goes where after SCOTT 1-4.

thanks.

try dat.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 13 February 2006 12:47 (twenty years ago)

Between Til The Band Comes In and Nite Flights there are a few nice covers here and there, but nothing essential unless you're a hardcore fan.

― jz, Monday, 13 February 2006 13:35 (twenty years ago)

make a good compilation from all 4 records, and youll have the best walker record.(cause there are weak tracks in all of them)
though most critics would say "4".

― bibi, Monday, 13 February 2006 14:34 (twenty years ago)

i can't find my copy of "nite flight"

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 13 February 2006 16:50 (twenty years ago)

ive never understood people's hate/indifference toward "the seventh seal." its not my favorite song on scott 4 (it has been before, though!), but its great!

i like 4>3>1>tilt=first 4 from nite flights>2>climate of hunter>rest of nite flights, but theyre totally all keepers.
