Carmen Smalley Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I´d recommend two records Steve Mc Queen and From Langley Park To Menphis by Prefab Sprout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnO Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I was gonna recommend anything by Cannibal Corpse...but then I found out what "Soft AC" meant....so I'd crank it down just a bit and suggest G.G. Allin instead...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMY TUNES Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 My two favorite CDs of last year would fit into this category. They are :Cole's Corner / Richard HawleyThe Overture and the Underscore / Sarah BlaskoOne of my all time favorite CDs could fit into this category. That is:Chrominance Decoder / April March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susana Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Not sure if this really fits the definition - might be a little too "heavy" in the lyric department if one list I looked at is correct...but....almost anything by Rupert Holmes...EXCEPT the one he is best known for, "Partners in Crime". While a great pop album, just didn't have the chops so many of his others did."Widescreen", "Rupert Holmes" and "Singles" are all distinct, yet wonderful. "Pursuit of Happiness" and "Full Circle" (this one grows on a person after repeated listenings) might fit the catgeory best. "Adventure" is still very pop, but overall I enjoy it much more than "Partners...". "Scenario" is more late 80's-early 90's pop sounding, and probably the one I consider weakest overall. But, by that time, Rupe was ready to move on to other things...to say the least...!This is a catalog I think any of us here on the EC board would enjoy. They were all released on CD as a set (titled "Cast of Characters) last summer, along with bonus tracks. A nice addition to anyone's collection, trust me.

Tony Cartmill Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I'm with Bob on the "Best of Moms Mabley" suggestion. Didn't she record the original "Hound Dog"? There's alot of personality in that voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 This was an interesting thread I missed until just now....I would say: Check out a record called Victory Gardens by John & Mary, on Rykodisc, 1990. The duo is John Lombardo and Mary Ramsey.... He was in the earliest 10,000 Maniacs lineup, and he re-joined, with Ramsey, after Natalie Merchant left (also recommended: Love Among Ruins, from 1997). I like Mary's voice better --- she's a lot easier to understand than Natalie. Anyway, Victory Gardens is a very accessible folk-rock kind of record -- sort of mesmerizing.

Brian Mac Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 There is a little known CD called "Poetry and Airplanes" by a guy named Teiter. I was turned on to it by an article I read Esquire written by John Mayer. It's gorgeous light romantic Pop from start to finish, but NOT fluff. This guy is one serious singer songwriter. A great choice for those special moments with your mate.For something older but beautiful, Steven Bishop's first LP "Careless" still sounds wonderful.
