    havent heard this one, only heard hats, will put it on my list

    Yeah I recommended that album earlier in the thread, it's nearly as good as Hats and has one of their all time best songs.

    Yep. It's got a lot of content but more to love. Plenty for everyone. It's like Mule Variations stretched out and reorganized into separate discs.

    Mule Variations is everything. What's He Building?, Big in Japan, Cold water, get behind the mule, and so much more. Great later waits record

    of those decades in total or a specific decade? If you mean in total either Aretha or Nina. Coltrane could maybe overtake one of them but I have to listen to him more

    oh, i meant favorites of the 40s and 50s

    the b******s disc is the main problem

    I bought the Real Gone vinyl for my best friend for his birthday one year and it turns out that was an extra thoughtful gift because the version that's on streaming isn't the same anymore. I didn't even realize.

    Miles Davis for the 50s since Howlin has only one album from that time I think.

    Billie Holiday for the 40s

    if it was just brawlers and bawlers, that be a top 5 waits album easily, but b******s besides a few tracks is unnecessary

    Anyone else like Japan and David Sylvian? I was obsessed with them in college. Now I'm coming back to Sylvian's solo stuff and discovering his connections to Ryuichi Sakamoto. He always had the best collaborations.

    I relistened to KMKMKM a week or two ago and it definitely is my least favorite of their classics. It's got some jams but the production of the era kills that album and too many tracks meander around or don't stick.

    Head on the Door has all the variety and just as many great songs in half the time.

    I still haven't forgiven the first IT remake for that incredibly awful "Six Different Ways" needle drop. S*** made me legitimately angry when I watched it

    Check out Mekons sometime if you haven't, they're a really interesting blend of post punk and country rock.
