The Chorus.Fm Users Definitive Albums List • Page 47

That was a great listen. I listened to these two albums a lot this week and this one fit well w them:

Soul Station - Wikipedia

Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins - Wikipedia

Work and Nutty on this one (which don’t have Sonny Rollins) are especially killer

 

YES I love this album. Eva introduced me to it awhile ago. So glad you like it

 

I did this at the end of last year, so kinda relevant

 

Do you like the 1975 or Tokyo Police Club?

 

Yeah they’re okay

 

Totally lacking the wow factor

 

Once it gets a liiiiiiittle colder (like November) I'm breaking that album out 3x a week.

 

Water is wet lol.

Pretty much the soundtrack to an entire semester in college.....and one I still listen to probably monthly 13 years later.

 

listened to Either/Or for the first time today – another stunner! I don't know much about Elliot Smith but he kinda gave me a low-fi Beatles vibe? if that's possible?

 

He has a few Beatles covers that are worth checking out

 

him and Brion were two of the more prominent beatles-heads of that era I feel like

updated the list through page 10. some shakeups in the last few lists. hounds of love is no longer #2. I'll leave it at that for now.

 

I have a strange appreciation for Elliot Smith in that I think Either/Or is absolutely phenomenal and yet none of his other albums do anything for me at all.
I do like a few individual songs (Waltz, Miss Misery, Needle in the Hay).

 

Figure 8 is his best album but you can’t find a bad one.

 

Oh cool, I'll listen to that one next

 

I definitely hear a lot of Beatles in the sort of “orchestral” playing on Elliott’s records. He creates a depth of sound that is a lot like John/Paul’s songwriting.

 

Heatmiser is great too. Need to shout out Jimmy Eat World for name dropping them in “Kill” and lead me on the path to dive into Elliott Smith’s discography.

 

Plus that Heatmiser cover on the Stay on My Side EP right?

 

yes sir!! Good call I’m going to spin that EP right now.

 

I like Either/Or significantly more than the others, of which I like neither/nor

 

“Los Angeles”, “Junk Bond Trader”, “Everything Reminds Me of Her”? None of those are good?

 

goodness gracious

 

Tangential, but this post made me think of it:

Have you heard Live at the Star Club, Hamburg? Given how much of your 50 is driven by raucous energy and ferocity, I feel like it’d be right up your alley.

 

Can’t remember if I’ve heard either of these, making a note to listen this week!

 

i remember it being in my parents record collection. probably a handful of times but it’s been forever. i’ll check it out again

 

I never really got Jerry Lee Lewis until I listened.
