I like a ton of non-rock stuff. Here are a few: 5) Sergei Rachmaninoff - Isle Of The Dead, op. 29 (Berliner Philharmoniker, Lorin Maazel, conductor) (Classical) 4) Anita Baker - Rapture (R&B) 3) De La Soul - Three Feet High & Rising (Hip-Hop) 2) Cuture - Two Sevens Clash (Reggae) 1) Willie Nelson - Red-Headed Stranger (one of the best albums in ANY genre) (Country) Thanks for the video, guys!! All great picks from the gang.
Johnny Cash - Live at Folsom Prison Hank Williams - any best of Herb Alpert - Whipped Cream or Going Places Patrick O'Hearn - Between Two Worlds Robert Johnson - King of the Delta Blues Singers
Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco de Lucia - Friday Night In San Francisco Bob Marley - Rastaman Vibration Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Paganini - 24 Caprices For Solo Violin
Here are some of my top five favorite non rock albums in no particular order ( and they do change): 1. Merile Haggard - Portrait of Merile Haggard. 2. The Miles Davis Quientent - Working. 3. Frank Sinatra- The Capital Years. 4. Devo- Are We Not Men. 5. Muddy "Mississippi" Waters - Live. And countless others such as Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Frank Gambale, Chic Coria, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Earth,Wind and Fire, Count Baise,The Commadores, Parlorment/ Funkadelic, Ice-T, Jay Z, Public Enemy, Eminem, LL Cool J, Any thing by Vivaldi, Django Reinhardt etc. 😊
Here are a few of my favorites off the top of my head: non-western: Munojot Yoʻlchiyev and Shavkat Mirzaev Ensemble - Uzbekistan: A Haunting Voice Truly unearthly singing - nothing resembling anything from the west. I love this. Oumou Sangaré - Ko Sira. Easily the best album from the Diva of Mali. jazz Milestones - Miles Davis sextet - Hard Bop just constrained enough under Miles Davis’ direction to be both exciting and accessible. Any fan of Prog Rock will love this masterful playing. Country Vince Gill and Paul Franklin - Bakersfield. A tribute by two country masters of a forgotten genre of American music. I am not ashamed to say I bought this at The Cracker Barrell..!! Ambient: Enya - Watermark - probably more for sentimental reasons, but god help me I love this. Electronic: Yello - Stella. Oh Yeah popped up in ‘80s movies and commercials, but the whole album is wildly inventive, seductive and cinematic. I don’t know what you call this: Robert Fripp - The Gates of Paradise. Fripp’s audio explorations of Heaven and Hell is the best and most ‘composed’ of Fripp’s 90’s soundscape albums.
1. The KLF - Chill Out 2. Jon Hassell - The Surgeon Of The Nightsky Restores Dead Things By The Power Of Sound 3. Tangerine Dream - Phaedra 4. Haruomi Hosono - Mercuric Dance 5. David Van Tieghem - These Things Happen
5)Kid A -Radiohead A Love Supreme -John Coltrane Catch a Fire -The Wailers Paul's Boutique -Beastie Boys 1)Astral Weeks -Van Morrison. Hat-tip to Casey Kasem, Tom Lasorda & all those who embarked on epic curse-a-thons. Nice Car Wheels Gravel Road, Phaedra, Agharta, Headhunters!
John Coltrane - Sun Ship Charles Mingus - Town Hall Concert (1964) Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz To Come Thelonious Monk - Thelonious Monk And John Coltrane Art Tatum - Solo Masterpieces (7-disc box set...or any of the separate volumes, it really doesn't matter) Non-jazz-related Honorable Mention: Peter Gabriel - Passion: Soundtrack to the Last Temptation of Christ
1. Dead Can Dance "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun", 2. Project Pitchfork "Entities", 3. Niyaz "Niyaz", 4. In the Nursery "Duality", 5. "Conan the Barbarian Soundtrack" by Basil Poledoris. Now, some of these could be considered rock if we really extend the notion far enough (Dead Can Dance and Project Pitchfork), but I think there would not be many people to defend that position, since guitars are not very present in these particular albums, the first one being a gothic neo-classic folk type of very dark music, the second german electro-dark from the 90's at it's best.
I don't know if this is my very top five. But they're the five that came to my mind first. 1. Mary Chapin Carpenter- State of the Heart 2. Madonna- Like a Prayer 3. Miles Davis- A Tribute to Jack Johnson 4. Bram Stoker's Dracula- Original Soundtrack 5. Janet Jackson- Janet I was hesitant to include Madonna and Janet because, to me, that sort of pop and R&B is still a form of rock. Hell, Mary Chapin Carpenter can rock sometimes too.
I’m very fond of African Music and other music from various countries. 1. Farafina - Faso Denou 2. Papa Wemba - Le Voyageur 3. Nusrat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Mustt Mustt 4. Jon Hassell & Farafina - Flash Of The Spirit 5. Angélique Kidjo - Logozo
This is a wonderful episode and it was great to see everyone's diverse musical tastes. Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson - The First Minute of a New Day Miles Davis - Filles de Kiliminjaro A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory John Hiatt - Crossing Muddy Waters Dee-Lite - World Clique
@@thecontrarians2438 It certainly is! "Angel Dust" was ahead of its time and one of so many fantastic songs. I am more partial to his more jazzier albums with Brian Jackson from the mid-70's but his whole catalog is worth investigating and he was so thoughtful and intelligent. A forefather in the rap genre even though his body of work was so much more than that. Cheers!
Cool topic. My picks: Miles Davis - Kind of Blue Johnny Cash - Live at Folsom Prison Origional Soundtrack to the Omen Bob Dylan - Freewheelin Beethovens 5th Symphony
Great show guys! Since I almost don't listen to any other styles of music than hard rock and heavy metal, this episode was very interesting and educational to me, I've made a couple of notes and going to check those albums some time.
Top 5 full Non Rock/ I'll include pop too for me 1. Miles Davis kind of Blue 2. Sade stronger than pride 3. Waylon Jennings honky tonk heroes 4. Curtis Mayfield Superfly soundtrack 5. Gipsy Kings Bomboleo
When I started the video the first album I thought of was Ella & Louis, so when Steve mentioned it I whooped. 1) Mahler Symphony No.2 (Otto Klemperer) 2) Getz/Gilberto 3) Ella & Louis 4) Nat King Cole - Love is the Thing 5) Emerson String Quartet - Beethoven The Late String Quartets
I have a lot, but here are some: Walter Wanderley - Rainforest The Art of Noise - In Visible Silence Hair - Original Broadway Cast Recording Masayoshi Takanaka - Alone Saturday Night Fever original motion picture soundtrack
Some of my favorites: Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison (Possibly the greatest country album. It's an essential album no matter what genre) Bob Marley & the Wailers - Legend: The Best Of (If you're new to Marley or Reggae, start here. All killer, no filler) Miles Davis - A Kind of Blue (Almost picked "Tribute to Jack Johnson" but "A Kind of Blue" is just the perfect entry point for Miles) Prince and the Revolution - Purple Rain (This album has elements of rock, but it also has pop, R&B, funk, and electronic elements) Lords of Acid - Lust (kinky electronic dance music that's perfect for a party, rave, or dungeon) John Williams - any of his Star Wars scores, even the crappy Disney sequel trilogy has great music Michael Jackson - Thriller (my brother had this on vinyl when we were kids. I listened to it more than he did.) Outkast - Stankonia (Dre and Big Boi at the peak of their powers)
Now that I've watched the video I have to say that the choices were very interesting. I love the variation. My own choices were mostly from the early 1980s when I was a kid. I was pleasantly surprised to see another Jean-Michel Jarre mention there by bicyclelegs. I've really enjoyed the "bicyclelegs Discovers Rush" videos that he's made. Take care and enjoy your weekend.
My Top 5: Enesco-Oedipe (featuring José Van Dam) (Classical), Mylène Farmer-L' Autre (French Pop), Julius Hemphill-Raw Materials and Residuals (Jazz), Nik Kershaw-Human Racing (synth Pop), Camille Claudel (Classical, Soundtrack). Very very special mention: Deep Purple-Concerto for Group and Orchestra (somehow Rock, but somehow not...) Cheers.

This would have been tough for me, since I have been listening to a lot of electronic ambient music. I guess my top five would be.. 1. Fripp & Eno/ Evening Star 2. Tangerine Dream/ Rubycon 3. Vangelis/ China 4. Tangerine Dream/ Phaedra 5. Anthony Phillips/ Private Parts and Pieces VII: Slow Waves, Soft Stars
I listen to a lot of "non-rock" music, so this is a real tough task. I'll pick one record for each genre: John Coltrane: Love Supreme, Funkadelic sftd., Aretha Franklin: I Never Loved a Man ..., Gustav Mahler: 5th symphony and Peter Tosh: Mystic Man
1) "Modern Sounds In Country and Western Music" - Ray Charles 2) "Phases and Stages" - Willie Nelson 3) "Post" - Bjork 4) "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" - Public Enemy 5) "The Harder They Come Soundtrack" - Jimmy Cliff and various
Excellent choice of Aretha Franklin's "I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You." If you haven't heard it, yet, you gotta pick up "Lady Soul" from a year later.

I haven't even watched the video yet but I accepted the challenge. I try to be quick, which is very rare to me. These are not in any particular order: Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygène (1976) or Équinoxe (1978) - It's impossible to choose... Duran Duran - Rio (1982) - You could almost call them a rock band. It seems to me that Europeans and people from the USA see the band differently. ABC - The Lexicon of Love (1982) Alphaville - Forever Young (1984) Depeche Mode - Some Great Reward (1984) There are many others I could've mentioned but these were the ones off the top of my head. Maybe I've listened to these albums the most. I still have to mention at least the first three Kate Bush albums. Well, some of her songs might still be in the category of rock, art rock, progressive rock etc. Anyway, these were just some quick choices by a Finnish musician who has mostly been into progressive rock, hard rock and metal. Take care and I hope you're having a great day.
