1. Can - Tago Mago

I'm surprised you had not heard this 'till now. Great album, if a bit uneven (the first half is way better than the second). I also prefer Future Days over Ege Bamyasi, although I seem to be the exception there.


4. The Feelies- Crazy Rhythms
5. Sparks- Kimono My House

Yes! Wonderful, wonderful albums that are not listened to enough (especially Kimono my House)

[transmogrifier]

Haven't really been on a music kick this year, but some albums that have impressed me upon first listen this year:

Let England Shake, PJ Harvey
The Mollusc, Ween
Vol. 9 & 10, The Desert Sessions
A Web of Sound, The Seeds
Bullhead, The Melvins

[Acapelli]

Joy Division - Singles Collection (She's Lost Control, Komakino, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Sordide Sentimental, Transmission, A Factory Sample, An Ideal For Living)

The Smiths - Singles Collection (Barbarism Begins At Home, How Soon Is Now, William, It Was Really Nothing, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, What Difference Does It Make, Reel Around The Fountain, This Charming Man, Hand In Glove, Sandie Shaw - Hand In Glove)

Tom Vek - We Have Sound

not really the first time i've listened to joy division or the smiths (had the heart & soul boxset downloaded, but rarely ever listened to anything past "the hits"), but these collections exposed me to a lot of b-sides and alternate versions i've nver heard before. they are also excellent rips from what are generally considered to be the best possible versions (sound quality-wise) of the songs released

if you want to check them out for yourself, i believe the guy is still working on the smiths, but he's done the complete joy division/new order factory singles

1. Can - Tago Mago
2. Wipers - Is This Real


That's a hell of a top two there. Can of course is one of the greats, an absolutely essential band. I always say that anyone who's interested in modern music has to hear the big Krautrock bands (especially Can, Faust, Kraftwerk, and Neu!) because of what a massive influence they've been on so much music that's come since then. Not to mention that they're just great albums in their own right.

And it's fantastic to see another admirer of the Wipers. One of the best punk bands, in my opinion. I love Is This Real but their next two albums, on which they verge more into post-punk than punk, are possibly even better.
