YES!!

Explosions In The Sky and Mogwai are my favorite instrumental artists, especially of that era.

EITS is also great live. Saw them at Bonnaroo...2011(?) They had to leave a song early to go watch Dirk and their Mavericks win the title over Lebron and the Miami Big 3. Absolutely great set and fantastic night watching Dirk put on a historical performance with a bunch of Mavs fans.

This was about 20 feet from us. We didn't shoot it, but must have been very close to whoever did. This girl just looked so full of peace and joy and EITS was killing it...love watching this every few years. Reminds me of the joy of music.

I listened to "Tubular Bells" after looking at this thread yesterday
Different, a little haunting.
You've probably heard a little, and didn't know it.

I should have used blue font, since both sides of the album are actually ONE song. :cool: Also, it was the theme song for "The Exorcist".

I couldn't recall the movie with Tubular Bells. I have never watched the The Exorcist. It just never intersested me.
I Listened to the album many times about 50 years ago.
Yeah, one side is part 1 and the other is part 2.

I've got a little different taste but I've seen a lot here that I agree with. These are whole albums I have saved on Spotify. Kind of all over the place, genre-wise.

Thrice has a couple of great albums where I don't skip anything-
Artist in the Ambulance (the Revisited version is even better)
Vheissu

Radiohead has a ton as well-
OK Computer
Kid A
In Rainbows
A Moon Shaped Pool

Weezer- Blue Album
Led Zeppelin IV (my first CD)
The Shins- Oh, Inverted World (amazing live show, too)
Friendly Fires- Pala
Sturgill Simpson- Ballad of Dood & Juanita
Atreyu- A Death Grip on Yesterday
Jungle- Jungle
Drake- More Life
Bombay Bicycle Club- So Long, See You Tomorrow
Disclosure- Settle
Washed Out- Purple Noon
Haim- Days Are Gone
Kendrick Lamar- good kid, m.A.A.d. city
Vampire Weekend- Contra
Tool- 10,000 Days
Aesop Rock- None Shall Pass
HONNE- Love Me/Love Me Not

The Beatles - Abbey Road
Pink Floyd - The Wall, Darkside of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours, Tusk
Bee Gees - Main Course (this is an underrated album)

Re Tusk: Good Album but it definitely has some weak songs. I think ole Buckingham got a little too much magic dust and went really weird on some of his contributions

Didn't buy the album, but my sister gave it to me long ago...maybe she tired of the same "song". "The Exorcist" is a movie with great acting & effects, but be prepared for getting disturbed, frightened. Yikes!:eek:

Does Tubular Bells have any singing? I think a woman reads off a list of instruments

No vocals, & just one performer: Mike Oldfield. A most unique (yet somewhat tedios) production. CORRECTION: Checking liner notes, it lists a string bass, flute, drums & choir. Oldfield played all guitars, keys, electric bass, bells, etc.

I still have the concert tee from when I saw Ziggy on the Conscious Party tour. Doesn’t quite fit now.

Def Leppard - High 'N' Dry

Funny story, a radio station in Columbus Ohio had a survey of who people wanted to see, overwhelming favorite was Def Leopard, it was sometime in the early 80’s. When tickets went on sale people were camping out for a few days, the people at the front got trampled when the box office opened.

In summer of 83 I went overseas and was talking to some brits about them and none of them even heard of the group. Apparently they were huge at that time in the states and pretty unheard of in their home country.
