I never got into Killing Joke besides Night Time. It's not their most representative record, is it?

I love it, it was their first album I listened to and the others were too harsh comparing to that one

Btw, this gem popped up in my Spotify recommendations today. Lush, (mostly) instrumental, dreamy shoegaze:

Brighter Than a Thousand Suns is even less aggressive than Night Time. Not as good of an album but "Adorations" is excellent.

Oh man. This was the first new release I reviewed as a member of the music staff at my college radio station, and I pushed it so relentlessly that it beat out And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out for the top of our chart for a week or two. Our program director wasn't amused.

I love this album. This one, Pandemonium, and the self-titled with Grohl on drums are probably my favorite Killing Joke albums.

Their newest one was pretty great.

(The Durutti Column - LC)

I listened to this in passing last year and filed it away and I dunno why. The mixture of light Floyd touches combined with dreamy post-punk guitar is pretty much exactly Mt Hing.


I know they existed but never listened to them, thanks for the tip

Like most 90s kids, I've known of the Meat Puppets forever, but I never really went back and listened. And, well, holy shit this album

What became of her? She lived, as she liked to say, off the kindness of gentlemen. I assume she’s dead.

This was my gateway album when I first heard it back in 1987. My first exposure to anything underground. Still love it.

I didn't realise Giant Sand's early stuff was kinda cowpunk/paisley underground, basically a less hooky more energetic Green On Red or Dream Syndicate, a bit of unhinged gun club blues clang.. Black Francis probably took a few pointers, uh it's good whatever it is.. simple honest nervy tunes that are better listened to than discussed on internets

Valley Of Rain and Ballad Of A Thin Man are the albums that grabbed me (on a single reissue CD)






and I've been hammering the early Elton John a bit, when he sounded more akin to Faces or Mott The Hoople's bluesy rock or a Nilssonesque singer-songwriter than the more puffed up hitmaking machine he became

I mean he looks like a sullen boarder on Honky Chateau (plus it has fuckin rocket man which we all know is GOAT canon)
