As good as the albums with Eno were, he wasn't wrong when he admitted they made their best album after he left f***in mega opus

If There Is Something will always be my favorite song of theirs but you can't beat Amazona, Mother Of Pearl, Song For Europe and Just Like You

yea eno recognized real

eno gets started on his solo journey next year

ill never forget that first Amazona listen was barely hanging on to my pantaloons

no dilettante, filigree fancy beats the plastic you

@RASIE is a MOP stan too

when i saw roxy last year at MSG they didnt play one song from stranded kind of a bummer still a great show tho

I know damn well you dont listen to these versions tho

2nd best

was going through the most soul shattering breakup when I got this album

"I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder"

damn now that you mention it neither did Ferry when I saw him in 2017

sometimes i do, i obv prefer the scratch versions but burnin is still nice and it was all i knew before i heard the scratch stuff

and on pure songwriting those 4 songs cant be beat

Ive had a real hard time going back to any later Marley since I discovered Scratch productions ngl. Chris Blackwell productions were just too clean sounding.

yea i agree it sounds like clapton or some s*** there's a reason tosh called him chris whiteworst

the songwriting remained as strong as ever but yes the whole point of reggae is the production and post 71 bob is severely lacking in that department. it's what put me off his music initially when i was getting big into the congos, culture, toots, heptones etc.

i still love burnin, catch a fire and uprising especially though

WOAH NO, WILLIAM AND MARY WONT DOOOO

Wake Of The Flood

God yes. Peak music

Ngl I've never heard Byrds and power pop in the same sentence but I guess I can slightly see it. Thought The Who were considered the progenitor.

yea maybe second after DIAMOND DOGS

that's a banger but probably his 6th best, tops

I think we already had this conversation like 5 years ago lol

Have you heard Kevin Ayers album Whatevershebrings from last year? Still imploring all Eno stans to check it out to hear where Brian got a lot of his juice

ill check it out. all that canterbury stuff was too weird and goofy for me but i havent tried to get into it in years. maybe itll stick this time
