I usually define an album as a recording which one experiences by listening back. And to be among the best of the year, it needs to have been unavaiable the previous year.
Tape music concerts are an interesting one, in an era when physical media is no longer required.
"When a Man Loves a Woman" has some good backing vocals, and that Cher album has some great parts too!
Three decades plus, going back to Clinton for sure
maybe more hard rock than punk, I hadn't heard this song in ages
Better than finding a dead baby starling above the drop ceiling in my living room!
after 1961's Who Put the Bomp (on ABC-Paramount, with a hit title song), Barry Mann did not release another album until 1969. Obviously, he wrote many hits, but he did not perform them.
The 1968 album was on Immediate, which sort of counts as popular.
Duncan Browne, between Give Me Take You (1968) and Duncan Browne (1973).
Ancient (with his band Deep Dark United) and Too Late Blues are the ones I’d start with.
he's been making great albums for decades, and this one is no exception!
also the first Divine Styler (though I love Spiral Walls even more).
While 1966 is one of my favorite years for pop music, "The Ballad of the Green Berets" still manages to sneak in at #10!
I (and probably only I) LOVE Radian Vs Howe Gelb
Also, the recent-ish one with Colorist Orchestra is pretty great
This sounds like a desirable outcome
Also, what kind of pop filter?
Israel Quellet, Josep Mestres Quadreny, Ike Quebec
I’m now leaning yes on 2/3 and no on 4
