Definitely

Good thing this is the Song thread he has bangers

The early Impressions albums were pretty good tbh, about as good as Motown was churning out.

glad you got me back on Dionne cause Dont Make Me Over b/w I Smiled Yesterday is definitely a classic debut single

Also have you gone in on Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions for his aforementioned Hendrix (your goat) influence?

yeah, the main impressions singles and first 4 curtis solo albums

del snapped on these '62 singles as well

one of the first soul artists i got into just found that b-side i posted last page and its been slaying me

this definitely song of the week tho

Realised I only really listen to classical music from 62' but here are some cuts I really enjoy.

classical and jazz a big blind spot for me and kinda too daunting to research like the more familiar genres so keep em coming

im pretty basic, handful of Miles (Sketches my fave) and a few other randoms "goat" jazz albums. Guys like Sun Ra and Mingus seem really interesting but i dont have much luck finding a way in.

Overall compositions are fine if its in one piece. by the late 60s alot of my favourite songs are 10+ mins.

oh s*** this mingus has slight Sketches Of Spain vibe

not f***ing with this conway guy too much

fine

what you been jamming?

still some 70s soul, springsteen, motorhead, sun kil moon, rage against the machine, tom petty, some alt country, fats domino, p funk

hit me with a potent deep cut from tom and motorhead

i dont know any tom petty deep cuts yet lol and im not too many albums into motorhead either (first 5/og lineup only so far)

gnarly

always thought this songs was great but f***ed up for Spector to have written then found out recently it was a Carole King's not sure if her masochistic side was represented in her 70's singer songwriter work lol
