Obviously they had songs, Many more being a double album. Curious why Many more is the only album where you give the artist's name. Srsly, I only know about half of those albums by title alone. Why no artist names? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted Thursday at 03:07 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:07 AM The first album I ever heard in stereo: Magical Mystery Tour. I had an epiphany right then and there, that the studio itself could be part of the creative process. From a musical perspective, the album that inspired me most was In the Court of the Crimson King. It was a bolt of lightning, showing me that rock, jazz and classical were all just different facets of the same gem. For emotional impact, it would be the first Black Sabbath album. It was my first time listening on headphones. "I am Iron Man" emanating from the middle of my head! Well, I was also on acid, so there's that. For musical inspiration, Time Out by Dave Brubeck and its follow-up, Time Further Out. Prior to that, I thought that all music was in 4/4, 3/4 or 6/8. Not only was 7/4 a viable option, you could even dance to it. Look it up on YouTube; there is a live performance of Unsquare Dance with (admittedly pro) dancers having no problem bouncing along to its odd time signature. Honorable mention: Hope by Klaatu, an epic concept album on par -imo- with Dark Side of the Moon. I bought it on cassette while on the road and fell asleep to it every night that summer. Our drummer was also a big fan of it, so when he bought a Sony reel-to-reel with sound-on-sound, Hope was in our minds as we began experimenting. That was my first non-studio recording. Can't call it a home recording as it was in a motel room in Idaho. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
