Echo & the Bunnymen

Are they really seminal? I have heard people talk about them like they are important.

Highly important member of the late 70's early 80's english post-punk scene. IMHO, the first two efforts are the best 'Crocodiles' and 'Heaven Up Here'. They pulled an Oasis and exclaimed that they were going to put out the greatest album of all time. As much as I love 'Ocean Rain' the album definitely did not and does not live up to the lofty expectation brought on by the bands own arrogance. Regardless...

I F'ING LOVE THE BUNNYMEN!!!BUNNYmen...BUNymen...Bunymen...bunnymen...bunny...bun...bu...

Ocean Rain is fucking incredible. If I made that album, I would probably think I had just made the best album of all time, too. I like the first two a lot, but Ocean Rain is transcendent.

I think I'm in the minority with that opinion.

Zeppelin I was the one I was always hung up on the most. The other albums have their moments but ZI shows more of how they got to that point to me. Lots of blues, lots of great musicianship. Anyway..

Janes Addiction
Nine Inch Nails

Fuck Jane's Addiction.

Listen to Nine Inch Nails. My favorite is definitely The Fragile, but a lot of people would disagree with me and say The Downward Spiral or Broken.

I agree with all of this. Janes Addiction is fucking terrible. Any of those NIN albums would be a good start, but I'd also add Pretty Hate Machine. That album is one of the best debuts of all time. Unfortunately everything after The Fragile is kind of lame.

Correct, Pretty Hate Machine is also pretty rad.

Starting at Pretty Hate Machine and working your way through the collection of albums would probably be the best way to do it. I am kind of a Trent Reznor fan boy, so I love everything he makes. I really enjoy his later material too. I have found that the Ghosts albums have drawn in many fans. They are more laid back instrumental albums.

Pretty Hate Machine is an amazing album. Fucking excellent. It's really different from any of the NIN releases that followed, though -- definitively less heavy. It's my favorite for that reason; the melodicicsm and Reznor's frequently great lyrics tend to be pretty buried in all the aggression in every album from Downard Spiral onward. Compared to the rest of their catalog, Pretty Hate Machine sounds like pop music.

I don't really dig Jane's Addiction either, but I will say that I enjoyed their set at Squatch '09 more than I enjoyed NIN. And NIN blew my mind.

I have never listened to Brian Eno or Godspeed. I feel that needs to change and now is a good time to do this. Any recommendations for first albums to listen to?

Eno:
Here Come the Warm Jets
Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)
Another Green World

Somebody else will have to tell you which of those first. I love them all. Those are his first three.

Thanks Stormy, once work is done bowls will be loaded, headphones will be worn and Eno will be listened to

Eno and Godspeed began their careers on very high notes, so the beginning is an excellent place to start for both. My favorite Eno record actually came before Here Come the Warm Jets. It's called (No Pussyfooting) and consists of 2 single LP-side length tracks recorded with Robert Fripp. Then everything that Stormy said.

As for Godspeed, most will recommend Lift Your Skinny Fists... but for you my friend, I would advise treating yourself to a vinyl copy of their first masterpiece F# A# (infinity). That thing contains deep dark secrets; right up your alley.

Hmm...that sounds like a plan. I will wait for Godspeed until I can snag that vinyl and just go in not knowing anything. I like doing that sometimes.

I am on track two already on Here Come The Warm Jets. I don't know what I was expecting but it is different from that. It is really cool and I might have to quit work a little early to expedite the bowl loadage
