Post 66' Beach Boys

 

Pet Sounds may have been their masterpiece but the three, Smiley Smile, Wild Honey and Friends, post 1966 albums prove Brian Wilson's genius.  Other than the grandiose Good Vibrations the music is a timeless minimal baroque lo-fi pop that is so unique that it can only influence and never be mimicked!

Tripping Daisy -- Jesus Hits Like The Atom Bomb

  Holy frig what a terrible jock rock version of The Flaming Lips!  No wonder no one remembers these guys!

The Animals -- The Best Of ...

  The Animals sit right inbetween the Stones and Them, it's not that I want to demean their carreer, it just them's the breaks!!

Apples In Stereo -- Fun Trick Noisemaker

  Their debut and best release.  The modernized super produced Beatlesesque sound is done so well that bands are still trying to mimic it today!

Sebadoh --The Freed Weed

  This compilation, of sorts, features early Sebadoh, while Barlow was still in Dinosaur Jr.   The Freed Weed is reminiscent of early pure and raw folk music while sounding modern and inavertently inventing lo-fi indie rock all at once!  Thanks Lou, you're the best! 

Seu Jorge -- The Life Aquatic

  The life aquatic is hands down my favourite Wes Anderson movie and part of it's charm is the perfect musical background of Portuguese classic era Bowie covers all acoustically done by Seu Jorge and let's face it, if the mainman himself says that these versions show, "a new level of beauty," to his songs, you know that the album is nothing short of being great!

Pink Fairies -- Kings Of Oblivion

  What can I say about the Pink Fairies, other than just state the obvious?  They are the UK's answer or version of the MC5!
