Try to contain your excitement.

#7Albums

1. Grace Under Pressure - Rush
2. Bring on the Night - Sting

Moving from old server

Narrowing down my album list to seven is extremely hard and makes me sad for the albums I slighted. In alphabetical order:

1. Dire Straits “Brothers in Arms”
2. Genesis “Genesis”
3. Jimi Hendrix “Electric Ladyland”
4. Led Zeppelin “II”
5. Pearl Jam “Ten”
6. Peter Gabriel “So”
7. SRV “Couldn’t Stand the Weather”

I need another dozen when my mood changes five minutes from now.

@JeremytheJedi lol…I could not do the #7albums …not that I couldn’t make the tough decision but that it took me down too many rabbit holes…pulling out LPs and listening, reading, remembering…I’ll admit I forgot what I was supposed to be doing🤣

Gave it some thought #7AlbumsToKnowMe #7Albums #music #musik #albums
Evergreen - Evergreen (1996)
Pharoah Sanders - Karma
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues
Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
Black Country, New Road - For the First Time

OK, the followup 7 items list, #7FilmsToKnowMe

I was surprised this list was slightly easier than the #7albums challenge for me; probably because I define myself less via film than sound. Anyways, the weekend marquee of me:

Glory (1989)

Fear of a Black Hat (1993)

Mortal Kombat (1995)

The Fifth Element (1997)

LA Confidential (1997)

Zoolander (2001)

Scott Pilgram vs. the World (2010)—my all-time favorite; no film will ever get me like this one did.

@sojbanks Cutting a lifetime of influences & experiences down to 7 is brutal—I did this for the #7albums challenge and the amount of greatness left on the cutting room floor pains me to look at. When I take a stab at this later tonight, I imagine I’ll feel the same way.

#7albums #7albumstoknowme #music
Brian Eno - Another green world
David Sylvian - Blemish
New Order - Power, corruption and lies
Two lone swordsmen - The fifth mission
Yusef Lateef -Eastern sounds
Keith Hudson -Pick a dub
Ambarchi, Berthling, Werlin - s/t

#7Albums (To know me)

Astral Weeks - Van Morrison
Rain Dogs - Tom Waits
Music For Airports - Brian Eno
The Velvet Underground & Nico - (Artists)
Rickie Lee Jones - (Artist)
Bryter Later - Nick Drake
Broken English - Marianne Faithful

(This could change in 30 minutes)

#7albums I like

1. Dead Can Dance - "The Serpent's Egg" (1988)

2. R.E.M. - "Life's Rich Pageant" (1986)

3. Sonic Youth - "Washing Machine" (1995)

4. Pink Floyd - "Wish You Were Here" (1975)

5. The National - "Boxer" (2007)

6. Suzanne Vega - "Solitude Standing" (1987)

7. The Bats - "Silverbeet" (1993)

There are many more albums that could have made this list.

I’ve seen this #7albums hashtag going around & this is *brutal*. But, it also seems like a great way to meet musically inclined Mastodonians. So, if you wanted my musical fingerprint in 7 LP’s, this is what you’d spin:

1) Bon Jovi, “Slippery When Wet” (1986)

2) Stone Temple Pilots, “Core” (1992)

3) Delerium, “Karma” (1999)

4) Linkin Park, “Meteora” (2004)

5) Foo Fighters, “Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace” (2008)

6) Brick + Mortar, “Bangs” (2013)

7) Coleman Hell, “Summerland” (2016)

Choosing #7Albums is so much harder than choosing 7 books! There are many albums I wanted on this list, but here are the 7 I’ve chosen… I might regret leaving a few out, but it is just a silly list... right? 🤷🏼‍♀️

1. The Sky is Crying - Stevie Ray Vaughan

2. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

3. Diva - Annie Lennox

4. Fleetwood Mac - Rumors

5. Crowded House - Crowded House

6. Ten - Pearl Jam

7. Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
