Duke Ellington: ..And his mother called him Bill
(RCA Victor, US 1968)
From perhaps the greatest composer and band leader in jazz, this eulogy to his beloved friend & close collaborator is just as beautiful a listen as you would expect..

Kenny Burrell: Midnight Blue
(Blue Note, US 1963)

A classic blue note album - just enjoyable jazz with a hefty dose of blues. An impeccable and sophisticated performance.

Joe Henderson: Mode for Joe.
(Blue Note, US 1966)
One of the leading innovative tenors emerging in the 60s. Released a remarkable streak of 7-8 consistently excellent albums.
This is absolute zenith 60s jazz..

Clark Terry:The Happy Horns of Clark Terry
Impulse! US 1964
The undisputed happiest flugelhorn in jazz and a stalwart of the Duke Ellington Orchestra in the 50s
This album with Ben Webster is every bit as enjoyable as the cover advertises

Stiff Little Fingers: Inflammable Material
(Rough Trade, UK/SE 1979)
A late but refreshing addition to the punk scene. IM - crisp to this day & one of the finest punk debut albums - took no prisoners: Raw, sharp, -in-your-face👊

Talking Heads: Remain In Light
(Sire, US 1980)
A truly innovative band at their very peak. Still flawless and incessantly powerful to this day.

"And you may ask yourself, well how did I get here?"
..as one does from time to time

A unique blend of pianist/flutist/saxophonist/composer with clear Monk influences.This is one of his earliest recordings live from Montmartre Copenhagen.
These covers 🙌

Oscar Peterson: On The Town
Verve, US 1958
A legend.
Effortless & joyous authentic live jazz with Herb Ellis and Ray Brown. Surprisingly-hard-to-find-in-original-collectible-condition, it brings me so much joy every time...

Hole:Live through this

Geffen/City Slang, GE 1994
Whatever you think of Courtney Love, this powerful, defiant & sometimes angry rock album still holds its own among many strong releases that year.

(Love the timeless anthem "Rock Star" 👊)

Sinéad O’Connor: Universal Mother
Ensign, UK 1994

The most consequential musician for the last 40 years. The force and beauty of her music and voice are unparalleled.
We did not deserve her, but The Bastards never really got her down..😥

John Coltrane:A Love Supreme
Impulse! US 1965
One of the Rosetta Stone Albums in jazz.
Universally loved and praised. I keep returning to this album and its stark beautiful complexity.
An extraordinary and enduring gift to us all.

Giant Sand:Chore of enchantment
Thrill Jockey, US 2000
Giant Sand and various permutations involving Howe Gelb has delivered an almost uninterrupted series of solid-to-excellent indie/alt-country/ rock albums every other year since 1985👏

The Beach Boys:Summer Days
Capitol, US 1965
Part of the transition from surf to enshrinement in the Music Pantheon with Pet Sounds. Not totally satisfactory, but very enjoyable with hints of greatness.

My favourite Beach Boys album cover.

Big Star:# 1 Record
Ardent, US 1972
The birth of power-pop and an enduring legacy from a bygone era. With The Clash, my favourite band from the 70s.
Marvel at "Thirteen" perfectly and poignantly capturing your youth

@throwingmuses.bsky.social :The Real Ramona
(4AD, UK 1991)
THE quintessential indie-rock band at their absolute peak.
🥇 Pop-tunes tweaked by "that" alt-rock-sound.
(Kristin Hersh: strong & ongoing catalogue + a book on Vic Chesnutt, IKYN)

Douh Dillard & Gene Clark: The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark
(A&M, US 1968)

A great songwriters album and in my opinion Gene Clarks finest hour. An early example of alt-country/americana. Gotta love that cover 😃...

Paul Bley: Footloose
(Savoy, US 1963)

A very original - and sometimes quite aggressive - pianist Paul Bley was integral to the free jazz movement from the get go.
This is among his most accessible records...

The Chesterfield Kings: Here are the Chesterfield Kings
(Mirror, US 1982)

A(nother) personal weak spot:
US 80s retro rock/psych/garage bands! Yay😎!

This glorious unpolished debut helped the garage retro revival. Nice hair guys!

Nick Drake: Fruit Tree
Hannibal, US 1983
The core exposed. Impossible to describe the tormented beauty perpetuated here.
I can say with 100% certainty to the uninitiated: your perception of music WILL change upon listening to "Pink Moon"

Billy Bragg & Wilco:Mermaid Avenue

A superb realization of a project putting Guthrie lyrics to music. I was wildly surprised by this collaboration, but they pulled it off with songwriting talent to spare, love and respect #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #musicsky

Lou Reed: New York
SIRE, GE 1989
The peak of a great if uneven solo career. Slam-everyday-life-poetry-hard-hitting guitar rock. Zero fillers 👊

Let's club ´em to death and get it over with.."

The Posies: Frosting on the beater
(Geffen, NE 1993)
The Posies were sort of a 1990s cousin to Big Star. This superb album superimposes grunge guitars upon psych powerpop. What's not to like 😎?

John Coltrane: Meditations
Impulse, US 1965
Trane is well into the realm of free jazz here. The loud screeching organized chaos of side A is not for casual listening but highly rewarding. I defy you to "meditate" to this though..😬

Buzzcocks: Singles Going Steady

Just the single greatest rock compilation album of all time, that's what (no, I am not taking arguments) 👊
