MindCrime Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Anybody who voted for Buddy Holly that didn't get one of their nominations in the final 10, can steal credit for it. I don't know if I can honestly comment well enough on the influence of that album as it was way before my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I don't know if I can honestly comment well enough on the influence of that album as it was way before my time. I am mildly offended by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappled Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 OK, here I go: Released in the Summer of 1966, with a disturbing art cover by Klaus Voorman, Revolver showed the rising of a new style. A first step into pyschedelia. An album with sounds from India melting with Motown style, a childish melody or a nice enchanting tune, tabla and harsh electric guitar, piano or maraccas, simple love songs or tripping lines, "Revolver" told the world pop music was going to take a deep turn only one year later. And if you spell it backwards you get "Revlover" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 And if you spell it backwards you get "Revlover" ...and it was suggested by Ringo Starr that the album might be called "After Geography" (after "Aftermath", the Stones last album by then...)

bluesboy Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 The Complete Recordings - Robert Johnson There's only 29 songs + 12 alternate takes that were recorded at 2 sessions in 1936 and 1937, but most bands from the British Invasion and the American bands of the 1960's used to start out covering blues songs. Some of the rock icons that were inspired by Robert Johnson were Jimmy Page, Elvis Presley, Keith Richards and Eric Clapton. And their music has had a great impact on blues, country, pop, rock and heavy metal. As his playing partner Johnny Shines put it, "Some of the things that Robert did with the guitar affected the way everybody played. He'd do rundowns and turnbacks. He'd do repeats. None of this was being done. In the early '30s, boogie on the guitar was rare, something to be heard. Because of Robert, people learned to complement theirselves, carrying their own bass as their own lead with this one instrument." He remains to this day one of the most influential progenitors of rock and blues music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm afraid getting admitted to the honours programme is just that tiny bit more important to me Of course the Songfactors' Choice is a very close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) Seeing as how the honors program hinges on it, I guess it'll be ok this time. It's certainly a better reason than "my dog ate it". Also, it's really ok to take your nominating post & rework it if you want to, or whatever you prefer.

Farin Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm pretty satisfied with my nomination's text Trans-Europe Express ~ Kraftwerk (1977) It's not their first album, it wasn't even their most commercially succesful one, but I think it's Kraftwerk's most important album. While their precursors "Autobahn" and "Radio-activity" were a bit more experimental, this here is a round, fully electronical listening experience, influenced by classical music, catchy repeated melodic themes and vocoded vocals make for a hypnotic (in a good sense) experience. The title track is, similarly to 'Autobahn', made to let you feel like you're on a train ride. From station to station / back to Dusseldorf City / Meet Iggy Pop and David Bowie (who both lived in Berlin at that time and were good friends of the band). But besides these two the record has had a tremendous influence in the following decade's music. Without it there would be no electronic music as we know today, from synth-pop to house and techno. fun fact: this is one of only 2 (!) albums by non english speaking artists in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" (the other being "Buena Vista Social Club") and at the end we'll listen to some hip-hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
