Essential Remnants: #28. The Sex Pistols, Never Mind the Bollocks

July 2, 2013 by peter

One great album and out. Doesn’t get more R’n’R than that (besides maybe Supershit 666). The Matlock on bass version of this album is equally great. (SM) Deserves all of its acolades because of the singles and because they really didn’t give a fuck. (GM)

Best live album ever also inspired MC5 thus arguably punk/garage rock. (MS)

Essential Remnants: #30. The Band, Music From Big Pink

July 1, 2013 by peter

Canadians find Southern (American) influences and greate an American sound, giving birth to country rock. (MS) This record has a fantastic sound, but it ranks because the songs will never die. (PK)

Essential Remnants: #31. The Who, Live at Leeds

June 30, 2013 by peter

The extended version is well worth it, gigs from the same few days. They were executing. (GM) Who’s Next is their greatest album, but for me the one that changed my idea about rock and roll and music was this one. Young Man Blues indeed. (PK)

Essential Remnants: #32. The Ramones, Leave Home

June 30, 2013 by peter

They erupted with three albums that felt like one long jam. (PK) Reverse their order and I’ll probably agree with you tomorrow. (GM)

Essential Remnants: #33. T. Rex, The Slider

June 30, 2013 by peter

So here’s “Slider.” Bolan’s absence makes the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame a joke and he’ll likely never get in. (SM) Silly, happy fun with raunchy riffs continuously crashing out of the speakers. (MS)

June 30, 2013 by peter

Essential Remnants: #36. Patti Smith, Horses

June 29, 2013 by peter

I heard this in a bookstore in San Francisco in 1976 and within days decided to move back to NY, where such sounds could be found on the street. (PK)

Essential Remnants: #37. Neil Young, Everybody Knows This is Nowhere

June 29, 2013 by peter

When I was in college I would type my papers to this elpee because it was really long for vinyl, meaning more time to type before turning the disk over. But also because the music is killer, from start to finish. (PK)
