Tuesday "New look" thread. Whoo hoo big whup!

[DarrenH]

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - The Best Of
Gene Love Jezebel - Heavenly Bodies
Tubeway Army - Replicas
XTC - Oranges and Lemons
Joe Jackson - Look Sharp!
Uriah Heep - Abominog
Uriah Heep - Salisbury
Uriah Heep - Innocent Victim
Wishbone Ash - Twin Barrels Burning
Moody Blues - To Our Childrens Childrens Children
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Clapton - Another Ticket

I wanted to introduce myself to some Jazz so on the recommendations from the folks here I bought Brubecks' Time Out and Coltranes' Blue Train. Now, I'm not an avid listener of Jazz but these are both very fine albums and I'm happy with these purchases. I think I may get some Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk next.

Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around
Johnny Cash - At San Quentin

Like Jazz, I'm not an avid listener of country/western music. However, the late Johnny Cash is one man I will always enjoy.

Uriah Heep - Abominog

Darren

Abominog!

I have that one.. I haven't spun it in years..

I'll have to pull it out, but not when my daughter is awake, the cover art might give her nightmares!

It's got a couple of decent tracks but for the most part it has a very dated 1982 sound. Yeah, the cover art is gruesome indeed.

The earlier stuff from Heep is by far their best work, imo.

I usually lurk & learn, but sometimes feel compelled to write...

Darren,

If you enjoyed Time Out and Blue Train, and you're looking for some Miles and Monk, may I suggest:

Miles' - Kind of Blue
Monk's - Oh Yeah!

These are both good introductions to these great artists.

I too make an exception to my normal Country bias with Johnny Cash, and I just heard American IV: The Man Comes Around last week, and really enjoyed it. Seemed very poignant in light of his passing.

Hope you like the Jazz,
Mysterio

Do you mean Mingus's Oh Yeah!? (?!!!??!)
Or was there a different Monk album you were thinking of?

You are not the "stupidestboy"...

I AM!!!

I did mean Mingus' Oh Yeah. I like Monk and Mingus so much, but I haven't listened to them in awhile.

Didn't even faze me that I was mixing the two.

Well, a Monk album that I can recommend would be Brilliant Corner's...but my credibility is now shot, I'm sure.

Great, I'll just cower into the corner, shut up and return to my normal lurking now...

Before I go, check out MINGUS' OH YEAH!! ha ha

No wonder I couldn't find that. Just kidding.

Hey, I just bought Miles' Birth of the Cool, Porgy and Bess and Miles Smiles. Only listened to Birth thus far. I looked for Monk's Brilliant Corners but it was out of stock.

And you sound like you may be our friend Mad Rhetorik, Mr. Mysterio, for whom these suggestions came from.

I'll look into that Mingus suggestion also.

Don't be silly, stick around. Brain cramps are common around here. Not with me of course, but everyone else. You blend right in.

Nice "brain cramp" on your HTML there Jimbo

Stupid board! I didn't even do any HTML, it just didn't work. Pretty much sums up the point though, doesn't it. In retrospect I couldn't have done it better if I tried. What a minute, that's it-I MEANT to do that.
