Although I don't listen to it much these days I love the second movement (funeral march) from the Eroica.
The soundtrack recording from the movie "Frida" is beautiful....so is "A Putumayo Blend, Music from the coffee countries"..
Good stuff. I go through phases on classical music. Usually in the fall. I tend to go for Alexander Sciabin and Claude Debussy. Although i did pick up a vinyl of classical music played on a Moog synthesizer the other day. It is fantastic.....haha. Here is Carmen. Bolero by Ravel is great as well. Recorded in 68 i believe.

I went to see Thompson a while ago at the Aladdin Theater. He serenaded the crowd with a bunch of selections from that album. Sadly, I've I can see him retiring soon. He's been at the mast for close to 50 years. So that's probably enough. Martyn was such a talent as well. But he was quite literally bonkers. I'm amazed he lived as long as he did. But that voice could convey the feeling of love like an Scottish folk Don Williams. The alcohol finally ended him.
That's tight. Ravel's Bolero is another great one as you mentioned. Here's a remix of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. I heard it during a Christmas party several years ago and recently found it again. Enjoy! And here's a Moonlight Sonata techno And a little Vivaldi trance
I don't listen to records, but I do have 4 boxes of records which were my fathers. He loved his vinyl and was a diehard Yes fan (I'm named after Jon Anderson) and liked a lot of non-mainstream stuff like Amon Duul II. For me I'll just say that NAS - Illmatic is one of the best rap albums ever released. Outkasts album "Atliens" is probably in the top ten. Pete Rock and CL Smooths debut album "Mecca and the Soul Brother" is probably the best hip hop album ever released. "The Low End Theory" by A Tribe Called Quest is also one of the best hip hop albums ever released.
I definitely appreciate my dads taste in music, but what I really like is Roger Deans artwork(did a lot of artwork for Yes's album covers). He had a sizable collection of them which I held on to mainly because I knew how much they meant to him, but over time they have began to mean a lot to me. Some of my favorites: I remember this one hanging on the wall(Yes album "Tales of topographic oceans" cover artwork)
Those are all great albums. I would have to add Bizarre Ride by the Pharcyde, Blow Out Comb by Digable Planets, Radio by LL CoolJ, Madvilliany by MF Doom, Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu Tang, Mic Tyson by Sean Price, and all 3 Run the Jewels albums.
Solid list bro! Labcabincalifornia is my favorite pharcyde album(Y? Is probably my favorite song by them), but bizarre ride has some solid tracks. MF Doom is legit, love his flow(Sniper elite comes to mind). I'd agree that 36 chambers is the best Wu Album, can't go wrong with CREAM, but Triumph off of their second album Wu-Tang forever is a toss up for my favorite song by them... Side note, CREAM pops up on my pandora stations often, I was actually listening to it on the way home tonight when I realized that I know the lyrics to every verse... Another side note, when I ask Siri to say my name she quotes inspectah decks verse on Triumph "I bomb atomically, Socrates philosophies and hypothesiss cant define how I be dropping these mockeries..."
Walsh is a great musician. I'm glad he went sober. My favorite song (which is hard) is "Life of Illusion". Always followed the WHO and Townsend. Great song is Face to Face LIVE. Loggins and Messina/POCO Live was and is still is phenomenal.
That is awesome. This is the first time I've ever thought about switching from Android to Apple.....haha. Labcab is great as well. Apples and oranges. I just wanted to give a shout out to them because I am friends with Tre (Slimkid3). I even got him to come DJ at Dots Cafe when I used to work there. He is one of the kindest and sweetest people I have ever met.
Adding to the the hip-hop sub-thread, I'd include (in addition to the Kayne albums I mentioned earlier) The Great Adventures of Slick Rick (Slick Rick), All Eyez on Me (2pac), The Blueprint (Jay-Z), Straight Outta Compton (NWA), A Healthy Distrust (Sage Francis), Black Star (Talib Kweli) and Wyclef Jean Presents the Carnival (Wyclef)
Maroon 5 - Songs about Jane Weezer - Blue Album Luke Bryan - Crash My Party Kanye West - Graduation Incubus - Light Grenades Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon Sam Hunt - Montevallo The Used - The Used Childish Gambino - Because the Internet Jay Sean - Neon Edit: the colour and the shapes by Foo Fighters has gotta be up there for me too.
