Match-Cut Band Consensus - Brian Eno

[D_Davis]

The Rules of the Game:

How to post selections:

- Assign a rating to each album based on a scale of 1-10
- Half points may be used
- It is not necessary to rank the albums. Instead, please post all lists in chronological order, starting with the earliest album.

For an album to be eligible for the band's overall rating, it must have at least four (4) votes. Otherwise, there isn't a sufficient amount of votes to make the rating as objective or effective as an album that has received twenty (20) votes. If an album is mentioned only once or twice, I will still post that album's average (quite easy if only mentioned once) but I will separate it from the albums that factor into the band's overall rating.

[D_Davis]

Now that I think of it, we should probably include Roxy Music here, right?

[Russ]

No.

[D_Davis]

No.

Harmonia?

I guess I should rate his installation pieces as well.

[Russ]

I guess I should rate his installation pieces as well.

Nooooo.....

I defer to your knowledge, good sir!

[D_Davis]

I don't think I will.

I do really like some of them (especially Nile and Compact Forest Proposal).

I didn't rate Textures either. It's definitely one of my favorites, but never officially released at all.

[D_Davis]

I feel that your Shutov Assembly score is too low, Russ!

Whenever people talk shit on the Yamaha DX7, I always point to this album as a testament to how amazing that synth is.

Hmm...thought I had given that one an 8. Oh well, * fixed *.

Bumped Textures up to an 8 too; that was too low.

It is kind of hard to really rate a lot of his instrumental ambient albums. I mean a few really stand out, but for the most part I think it is a little arbitrary.

[Winston*]

I think the next band we do should be The Sex Pistols...

Yeah, but I'm like you - Textures has always been one of my more highly regarded of his purely instrumental/ambient works.

[Russ]

I think the next band we do should be The Sex Pistols...

LOVED their concert in San Antonio. One of the most memorable concerts I ever attended.

And I get the joke.

[D_Davis]

I

I think I rated this album too low. Need to give it another listen, it's been awhile.

[D_Davis]

I think the next band we do should be The Sex Pistols...

I'll never get around to listening to their entire discography.

Just wait until Frank Zappa. LOLLL!L!L!L!L!L!

Confession: I've never listened to a single Zappa song. Don't even know where to start.
