I think Sign O The Times is my favourite Prince album but would happily chuck 1999 and Purple Rain on the turntable.

There's a few Prince albums I could have put on the list, but tried to keep it to one from each artist.
Greatest musician ever in my opinion.

I have to agree wholeheartedly with that post.
Best concert I've ever seen too. Bar fucken none.

I have been listening for the past year to quite a few cds by Bailter Space, at ear-splitting volume, naturally. I love their tone, and the recordings hold up well I am pleased to say, better than most shoegaze from the era. I discovered they released a couple records several years ago 2012 and 2013, but I haven’t heard them, last one I have is Solar 3 from 1999. Anybody heard those new ones?
Here’s a pair of entrancing tracks from the mid 90s.
-
I was a fan from their days as The Gordons (still wear the t-shirt, heaps) and took me a while to get into the later nineties records, but grow on me they did.

That’s awesome. I’m super-jealous. Are you going to do earplugs? (I’d consider it. I saw them in the early 90s and I’d rate the decibels right up there with the very-loudest MBV and Swans shows, louder than Motorhead,.)

Haha, I will definitely be wearing earplugs!
growing up in Christchurch I saw them many times. Pretty sure they are the reason my hearing is so stuffed these days.

What i love about Spotify is the way it directs you back to stuff you haven't thought about in yonks. I use the "Your Daily Mix" a lot, and on one last night The Strokes turned up. I haven't thought about the Strokes in like 15 years, other than the occassional time "Last Night" turns up, and you think, "that's a great track"
The main guitar lick on this is fucking awesome

@mariner4life Spotify is utter shit at directing me to music I actually like.
If there is a personal hell then mine will be: living in Palmerston North, the only sport is the Wallabies winning the Bledisloe Cup on a loop, the only books will be overrated classics, the only podcast will be made by the guy who makes the Teachers Pet, the only TV show will be The Bachelorette, the only movie will be Titanic, I'll only be able to get into the Politics section of the Fern, and the only music in existence will be Radiohead.
Guess how many times Spotify directs me to Radiohead? Every single time. Their algorithm or whatever is supposed to suggest similar music is fucked.

Spotify's algorithm is light years more advanced than Netflix's. How many times do I have to downvote Bollywood crap, woke disabled black lesbian dramas etc? "We thought you'd enjoy this". Well you thought fucking wrong.

Clearly Netflix shares algorithms with your Pornhub.

And after listening to Billy Corgan all yesterday arvo, all i listened to last night and so far today is the Pumpkins. God i love them.
Obviously Siamese Dream we have discussed a heap recently. Rhinoceros is my third favourite song of all time.
If you take the best parts of Mellon Collie it's fucking unreal, and i don't give it enough love. If i had to rank my top 10 Pumpkins songs, probably half of them are on that album. And it's so varied, you go from something sweet/sad like "In the Arms of Sleep" to a ripping heavy metal track like "Tales of a Scorched Earth.
Billy Corgan was a fucking genius

no idea aboot spotify but youtube is great for that, sending you to similar bands. maybe should get onto it, this $20 LP buying is getting to be a strain**. Can someone do a spotify primer for idiots?**
Radiohead, oh GOD, they drive me batshit insane, I just cannot hear a fuckign thign, kind of pisses me off because it should be my thing, miserable gits and some "inventive" synth rabbiting "oh man, OK Computer is the best album everrrr" but ffs it just goes plink plip moan moan mewl mewl end.
Free music ... or pay a bit each month and get more control over your music. On the paid versions you'll still be saving money on your LP buying (I'm assuming you mean electronically) you just wont own the LP and if Spotify disappears you'll have to go buy them anyway. Not all music is on Spotify but nearly everything is.
I even saw Radiohead live, because often seeing a band live is a different experience and makes you appreciate their music ... nope, still shit.

I pay for Spotify. Prefer the freedom.
I consider OK Computer to be one of, if not the, most over-rated albums of all time. It's not bad, but it's widely held up as one of the greatest albums to come out of the UK, certainly in the 90s. Fuck off. It's not even the best Radiohead album of the 90s (not that i expect many to agree the Bends is better).

The rest of the post is completely redundant after that statement.

Stick to the record buying, the sound quality of spotify is shit.

I still use my 160 GB iPod classic when travelling/working. ~13,000 songs on there from my own collection rather than be force fed songs via an algorithm. At home I'll crank up the stereo.
You know you can choose what you listen to right?
