I decided to go a week of just putting my iTunes on random shuffle and rolling with it. Hearing some stuff I haven't heard in a LONG time. Also hearing some stuff I did not want to hear again. But a fun exercise.
This is probably going to get a wide array of opinions, but I always really dug it.
Well yeah, if you’re tripping and have nowhere to be…It is haunting, hypnotic, long, right atmosphere, sure.
I’ve been bingeing them for the last several months. They’re phenomenal. And Warren Haynes is a damn genius.
One of the first jazz jam LPs from the early 50s. (maybe the 1st) Organized by Buck Clayton, the great trumpeter from the Basie Band.
I think her older stuff with the Nocturnals was much better than these days. I’m not sure her career’s been the same since the crossover attempt with TEQUILA. Back in the day, I was a pretty big fan, having seen them several times. A great live show, this was always my favorite:

I agree. I’ve seen them many times and always GREAT !! This is my favorite riff and would be my WALK-UP tune in MLB

Today's binge!
The best of CCR. If you've never listened to this one, I'd urge you to do so. Perhaps the greatest best-of ever published. A literal soundtrack to the Vietnam era, with these hits from their short career from 1968 to 1972.

You won’t be sorry… 
About 40% into show, A Whiter Shade of Pale cover that’s amazing. Never thought I’d hear someone even try to pull that song off live.

You can make a case that nobody has ever had a more prolific 2- to 3-year stretch as an individual songwriter than John Fogerty.
A trombone player by nature and a singer by heart.
Out of all the various string music acts since around 1970 only Leon Redbone was in his class, and Redbone did covers. Hicks wasn't a virtuoso: he was funny. Unhinged even. I don't imagine many remember him all that fondly: no hits. But his first 3 records were fantastic and several along the way were almost as good.
Not sure how I missed this before and I blame everyone in this thread for not making me aware of their existence prior to this moment in time…
I am currently listening to the 1977 Van Halen 30-song demo tape. Holy shite, man!!!
WTF is wrong with you jackals? Do better.

Anything noteworthy? Always cool to hear a band’s early stuff to see where they started.
Incubus (yes… Incubus) Fungus Amongus is my favorite example of this. Very groovy album for some teenagers to put together, despite the fact that the songs are pretty nonsensical.

So the past 4-5 days I've been going down the King Gizzard rabbit hole going all the way down to see what's on the other side. And the more I keep digging, the more I f'n love it.
Just insanely talented musicians who can actually jam and keep it dynamic and captivating. Sort of like a psychedelic Mars Volta with some math rock, 70s jam vibes, and metal thrown in. Their drummer must never skip leg days either, holy lord. The album recordings don't really do much justice to what they do live, but some of my favorite cuts I've recently dug into:
Drip, drip from the tap don't slip (don't slip on the drip)
(the lick at 5:35 is sublime)
