What are you listening to?

[garbon]

My parents played a lot of Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Yanni (to the point that I hid my mother's Yanni Album), Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey. At least that's my recall of the bulk of what was played.

Jewel, Sheryl Crow, Ace of Base, Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLachlan  (and probably someone else I'm forgetting) all had honorable mentions as my father bought their albums trying to track down a song by Suzanne  Vega.

Shirley Bassey- Where Do I Begin
2pac- I Ain't Mad At Cha
Eddy Grant- Electric Avenue

And if you consider Abbey Road an A+, then I'll wait for your votes on Rubber Soul, SPLHCB, Revolver and the White Album.

The White Album was next: A

It's very long so I've only had time to hear it twice. There are some absolute killer songs on this one but then it ends with Good Night which I don't really know what to make of, it's like they wanted to make fun of people after having just played Revolution 9. I'm getting the feeling that Starr shouldn't really have been allowed to sing.

McCartney's trip down silly lane was slightly better on this than on Abbey Road, but Maxwell's Silver Hammer was a strong contender in that category.

But yeah, so far it's #1 Abbey Road, #2 White Album

BANG! BANG! Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head

Blackstar music video

Wow. The shaking really freaks me out. Really creepy generally and is that Major Tom?

It fits beautiful with the music though.

Watching Hateful 8 prompted me towards an Ennio Morricone binge. Once Upon a Time in the West

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: A

I'm more and more ashamed that I thought the Beatles was just a pop band. Is With a Little Help Starr's best song? I think it might be, it's still a bit boring though. I like it when the Beatles goes a little prog rocky and medley-y which they did excellently on A Day in the Life. Fantastic!

#1 Abbey Road, #2 The White Album, #3 SPLHCB

Revolver is more than worth a listen through as well.  It really shows the period of evolution for the band at the height of their creativity.

Lana Del Rey - High By The Beach

I'm upgrading The White Album to an A+

Goddamnit there are so many amazing songs on that album.

I'm upgrading The White Album to an A+

Goddamnit there are so many amazing songs on that album.

The White Album is such a mess, and such a great achievement...both at the same time.  The fact that the group was falling apart by this time but still could (at times) get together to create songs is important.  That is why the later stuff was so good, the tensions mixed with creativity made for such an amazing crucible.
