Yeah, I’ve seen a couple live videos of them and I can’t stand that. Still love most of their discography.

There was a thread awhile back debating whether being a good singer or a good dancer made it easier for unattractive guy to get laid. Adam Duritz is Exhibit A for the singer argument. He’s goofy looking and comes off like a fuckin’ weirdo but he writes songs so powerful he fucked Jennifer Anniston.

Emmy Rossum

Winona Ryder

Courteny Cox

Samantha Mathis

Christina Applegate

Mary-Louis Parker

 

The guy is the Pete Davidson of the prior generation.   He must be packing serious heat.

Being funny is right up there with being a musician.

He dated a friend of mine while she was an undergrad at USC.

Phish - Junta

The white tape preceded Junta. So did Trey’s senior thesis The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday but i don’t know exactly when that got circulated within the tape trading community.

As an aside, the first time Trey went to a Grateful Dead concert they opened the second set with Scarlet > Fire. At Phish’s first live performance they opened their second set with Scarlet > Fire.

I try to like Blind Faith because I’m a huge fan of Ginger Baker and 60s Clapton. But it just has too much Steve Winwood lameness. 

LMAO.  I try to like Blind Faith because I'm a huge fan of Steve Winwood, but I hate Ginger Baker and am ambivalent to Eric Clapton.

“Steve Winwood lameness?” (Note to self: Never pay attention to BrickHorn’s opinions about music.)

Also, are we too cowardly to post the actual album cover? I own the album. It’s a great album. Doesn’t make me a pedophile.

I own all of Traffic’s albums. I saw them live at Blossom Music Center in 1994. One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. (I also saw Jefferson Airplane there in 1989.)

You can give me a higher love right after you go fuck yourself with your totally wrong opinion about Steve Winwood. One of the all time great voices in rock.

Higher Love fucking sucks. So do Finer Things and Back in the High Life. Those are terrible fucking songs.

Clapton and Baker kicked ass together in Cream. Clapton kicked ass before that in Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and Yardbirds. Those two join up with Winwood and suddenly they’re putting out absolutely lame bullshit, almost all of which was written by Winwood. Then Winwood disappears and resurfaces in the 80s to fill the pop radio airwaves with even lamer bullshit. Winwood is the common denominator in a long string of musical suckitude.

I will refer you back to my note to self never to pay attention to BrickHorn’s opinions about music.

Look, musical taste is subjective and reasonable minds can differ in their assessment of the quality of an artist. Haha, jk. Steve Winwood sucks and your opinion is stupid.

Ginger Baker is a great drummer, in his own mind.  Otherwise, he fucking sucks.  I mean, he sucks bad.

ADDENDUM:  he seems to think he's Elvin Jones, but his internal clock is all over the map.  He has a very poor sense of groove/tempo.

Lot of food ones already.  Here’s another of my favorite debuts.

I think yours might be the first that has anything to do with food by virtue of the lemon slices on the cover.

Not a big fan of either Winwood or Clapton solo stuff.

Seen both and in my experience you are much more likely to get laid if you escort a lady to a Winwood show.

Magnificent album and I’d argue it was the invention of prog rock. But I’d also argue that Larks’ Tongues in Aspic and Starless and Bible Black were both better albums. Islands probably was too. And that’s not to even mention the later incarnations of the band and their various offshoots. I even saw ProjeKct X live.

I had my CD collection stolen back in 1990. Larks’ Tongues was the first KC album I replaced. Probably would be again. Play it LOUD! (Actually that goes for all KC albums.)

There are tons of good examples here.  I'l view it through a slightly different lens: which debut albums "upset" their genre and/or changed the mainstream?

In no specific order - many have already been said

  • Beatles - Please Please Me
  • Velvet Underground and Nico
  • Jimi Hendrix Experience
  • Sex Pistols - Bollocks
  • Roxy Music - Roxy Music
  • Ramones
  • Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
  • The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
  • Van Halen
  • The Smiths
  • REM - Murmur
  • GnR - Appetite
  • Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
  • Beastie Boys - License to Ill
  • Black Sabbath
  • Nirvana - Bleach
  • The Stone Roses
  • Oasis - Definitely Maybe
  • NWA - Straight Outta Compton
  • Public Enemy - Yo! Bum Rush the Show
  • Eminem - Slim Shady
  • Weezer - Blue Album

I saw NIN in a bar in Miami in 1989.  Opening acts were Meat Beat Manifesto and what would become Marilyn Manson.  NIN played the entirety of Pretty Hate Machine and a few other songs.  It might be the most entertaining show I have ever seen.  

There are many that I likely forgot.
