they are my all time favorites, but after LOVE YOU it was sadly over. surfin' safari is what it sounds like : a bunch of kids. the beach boys were never a garage band. they were a living room band. surfin' usa is a HUGE improvement; a giant leap forward. the lonely sea is one of my all time favorite songs. the first glimpse we get of bw's more melancholy side. to me surfer girl, little Deuce Coupe, shut down volume 2, all summer long, Christmas album, TODAY! (my all time favorite album by ANYONE), summer days/nights, pet sounds, SMiLE! sessions, smiley smile (in the 70's this album was my favorite album by anyone of the previous decade, then i heard TODAY! and the doors's debut), wild honey, friends and 20/20 are all classic albums. i don't really count party! as a studio album. i could live without it. i like most of sunflower. i like much of surf's up. i really can't get into much of carl/passions and holland. i appreciate them more than i actually enjoy them. Mount Vernon and Fairway however is amazing. 15 big ones is/was a HUGE disappointment. the bb recorded it under duress. their label was threatening to sue them for not meeting the obligations of their contract. they owed the label two more records.they went into the studio and attempted to record two albums at once. they were going to record one album of covers and one album of new material, but the clock was ticking and they were running out of time. so they presented what they had recorded thus far as one album to buy them more time. this album should have been either all covers or all new material, not a mash-up. around this time they also recorded their second Christmas album hoping that would fullfill their contract, but the label rejected it. they did not want a Christmas album. it would take decades for this material /their second Christmas album to finally be released. LOVE YOU is my favorite album of the 70's. it is their last truly great, classic album. it was the last time they attempted to move forward. originally love you was to be a solo brian album called brian loves you. special note should be made of nearly every member of the band walked out during love you's recording process not knowing what to make of what brian was doing; dennis and carl MAY have hung around the studio more than the others. after this the bb stopped even atempting to move forward. mike love seized control of the band. they then proceeded to attempt and failed to regain their former, early era glory. i wish they had retired the BB name or retiring from recording after love you. the beach boys are my all time favorite band, but i do not listen to any of their post 1977 love you albums. even bruce says they sound like old men on MIU. l.a. light album has a very few good songs, but everything else post-love you i just wish would cease to exist. still crusin' to me isn't a studio album; just a compilation with left overs. That's Why God Made the Radio is a good reunion album.
I like your list. I would place the second album higher but agree with all other selections. For me, the last three albums were slightly gimmicky compared to the more substantial earlier output. Cheers.
Beautiful Mike.
Thanks a lot man!
You should do a a list on stone temple pilots
amazing technique, maybe i could be able to play like you, one day. Are you using backing track or is the band there?
Thanks a lot! This was from a duo gig with a bass player so no backing track
@@MikeGodetteMusic wow, the backing souds gives more of that jazz vibe

my ranking would be: Doolittle Trompe Le Monde Bossanova Come On Pilgrim Doggerel Head Carrier Beneath the Eyrie Surfer Rosa Indie Cindy ( I know, I know, Surfer Rosa is really low on the list, sacrilege right?)
Nice list! Even though Come On Pilgrim is a "mini album" I still think it should be included. Every song on it is incredible, I like it more than Surfer Rosa as a group of songs.
13) Revival 12) Infinite 11) MTBMB Side B 10) MTBMB Side A 9) Encore 8) Kamakize 7) TDOSS 6) Relapse 5) TSSLP 4) TMMLP 2 3) TMMLP 2) Revovery 1) The Eminem Show
Glad someone appreciates their Christmas album, one of my personal favourites.
I was working in college radio when I first came across Curve and they quickly became one of my favorite bands. In fact, "Coast Is Clear" used to be our sign-off song every night for several years. Cuckoo is probably my favorite album, but barely winning that as I love them all. "Unreadable Communication" is a song I love playing while driving down the highway at night, like something out of an action movie...
Very good form! I agree with the sublimes albums, 1 for me is The Wall. The Final Cut is very good. This is the last album, after, there is no more Pink Floyd.
WYWH,The Piper on Gates of Dawn,Of Saucerful of Secrets,last three The Dark Side of The Moon,The Wall,The Finał Cut.
This is special. Thank you ✨️

A Top 10 Bjork Songs list without Human Behavior & Unravel? *thinkyface*
Being a huge fan since ‘63, and being really familiar with ALL of these albums, I have to disagree with more than a few. Little Deuce Coupe- A Summer Days(and Nights) should be an S, while Today w/b an A. Wild Honey-C, Sunflower-S Friends- B MIU- E 15 Big Ones- D Love You- E Beach Boys- B it does have some really good songs(Where I Belong, Getcha Back) I know this is 4 years later from your video, but I just felt strongly on these differences. Good video!
Personally, my favourite track from Adolescent Sex is "Transmission" and my favourite from Obscure Alternatives is "....Rhodesia", which just goes to show that we have completely different tastes and that there's plenty of room for debate! I'm not very fond of Japan's first two albums, on which David Sylvian's voice isn't quite up to scratch yet. My n°1 Japan album is still Quiet Life, where I love all the tracks (with "Halloween" at the top of the list). I'd put Gentlemen Take Polaroids at n°2 because Rob Dean takes a back seat on this one. "My New Career" is my favourite track on the album. My n°3 is Tin Drum, which is more synthetic overall (with "Still Life in Mobile Homes" as my favourite track). I never really got into Rain Tree Crow because the album is more ambient in nature, although I like the genre (but I prefer, for example, the ambient instrumentals on David Sylvian's double album Gone to Earth). "Every Colour You Are" is my favourite Rain Tree Crow track.
🔥
Adam Franklin and the other guitarist tend to also use altered tunings, rather than the standard tuning. Which makes their songs a bit more challenging to figure out.
Good ranking. 1) Technique 2) Power Corruption and Lies 3) Low Life 4) Music Complete 5) Movement
My ranking Blue Bell Knoll A++++ Heaven or Las Vegas A+++ Treasure A++ Four Calendar Cafe A+ Milk and Kisses B++ Victorialand B+ Head Over Heels B Garlands C
Just found this great interview. I would like to say that John is a true master, as a musician and as a person. I have worked with him and I can tell his wisdom and attitude toward life goes as far as his music mastery. His vision of the guitar is a treasure for any player cause when you go, he already went all the way and back couple of times. I´m sure anyone who has been around him agrees with me. I´m really looking forward to perform with him again very soon.
No1. NOT a rock song.
You should make video about band called "Trollin Withdrawal",this is the band of that guy who talks about viruses at the end of the track "Wait Forever", he also sing in "Torr's Empathy Jam" track. This band is way more mysteriously, its really a big rabbit hole. I can share you what i know about it, if you interested.
Jazzy. Brings out the depth in BB songs. Brian had a way of using guitars that made them sound like keyboards.
Nice work!

I picked up Skylarking not long after and enjoyed it quite a bit but never explored their back catalogue until much later. However, I did pick up nearly all of their subsequent albums when they came out. * I really fell in love with the quirky herky-jerky early stuff. It was a bit irritating at first, but I found that alcohol really unlocked this music for me. To quote "Meccanik Dancing" - "alcohol is an easy key." This is not me saying that alcohol (or any drug) is necessary to enjoy this music. It just helped me appreciate it by putting me in the right mindset. * White Music is indeed a good drinking album. Frantic, bizarro post punk/New Wave/What Have You with some excellent rhythms. However, I have some issues with the title. They originally wanted to call the album "Black Music" in reference to "black comedy." When that was rejected (rightly so), they went with White Music which was supposed to reference "white noise" - and I think they would have been better off calling it that. The title imports an uncomfortable racial element, although this is undeniably white music made by white people. And what is with that cover? Seems to be some sort of pro-gay message, what with Andy Partridge bending over towards the camera with arrows on his pants pointing up to his ass while his bandmate suggestively stands there with his finger on his mouth. I'm very pro-gay so this is not a problem for me, but it's kinda weird, and weird that no one seems to talk about it. * I'm crazy about the cover of "All Along the Watchtower." The bass is funky as hell, the mouth harp is off the chain, and the vocals are completely unhinged. This thing gets me dancing like a crazed rooster. I thought Hendrix had the final word on this song, but no. * I'm a fan of Barry Andrews, the keyboardist on the first two albums. And Colin Moulding is probably one of my favorite bass players. * These guys are melodic masters, and as such they occasionally drift off into sing-songy territory, but in most cases, this doesn't annoy me. * Mummer introduces some cool new sounds, but the songs aren't very catchy. "In Loving Memory of a Name" is fun though, and very good. * The Big Express is really good but with no major standouts, and points off for the weird baby talk lyrics. * 25 O'Clock is my number one because I think it's perfect and every song is 5 stars. I don't mind that it's short. I hear people complaining all the time about long albums. Then enjoy a short one muthafukkas! Anyway, this album is a blast, the songs are exceptional, and they really nail the 60s psyche pop influence. In particular, Magical Mystery Tour is an obvious inspiration. * Skylarking is positively brilliant, undoubtedly their best produced album, but some of it is a bit limp and wimpy for my tastes. And I had the American version with "Dear God" which I think is markedly superior. But since that version doesn't count, it hurts the album to some degree, and I might've even ranked it higher. Still 5 stars, though. "Mermaid Smiled" is a nice jazzy tune, but it can't hold a candle to "Dear God." Which also has a supercool violin solo! * Psonic Psunspot is a fantastic continuation of what they were doing on 25 O'Clock, but it takes second place because the second side isn't as strong as the phenomenal first side. * I used to be at 2 stars for Nonsuch. Truth be told, I found the album annoying. I love the opener "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead," but it felt like a bait and switch because the rest of the album doesn't really rock like that. Much of it is too twee for my tastes and it gets preachy in places. But today, I'll give it credit for having some good songs. "Books Are Burning" in particular went from "meh" to "very good" and it's got a great guitar solo. * I think it's fair to say the trumpet is XTC's favorite brass instrument, considering how often we hear it in their music. * I love this band!!! Cheers mates!!!!!!!!!! Top 20 songs: 20) Runaways (English Settlement) 19) Helicopter (Drums and Wires) 18) Vanishing Girl (Psonic Psunspot) 17) Season Cycle (Skylarking) 16) Bike Ride to the Moon (25 O'Clock) 15) That Is the Way (Drums and Wires) 14) Making Plans for Nigel (Drums and Wires) 13) Crowded Room (Go 2) 12) Radios in Motion (White Music) 11) Spinning Top (White Music) 10) Meccanik Dancing (Oh We Go!)

Glad Murray street and sonic nurse are in the top tier list because they are my favourite!!!!
Killin Mike! Give the crew my best please
@@darry_lavis thanks a lot man! Getting to Litchfield today so I’ll give everyone your best. Hope all is well with you and hope to play soon!
For me they should be ranked in phases: A.Debut (trying to get a sound) : Confusion is sex and the other more rare before (Sonic Youth) B.Constructionnist phase (being more and more structured from album to album) : Bad Moon, Evol, Sister, Daydream C.Peak phase ( doing what they do best ) : Goo, Dirty, Experimental D.Deconstructionnist phase (being purposely less and less structured from album to album): Washing, Thousands, Ghost (Ghost having strangely a vibe similar to Bad Moon... the circle has closed) E.Tail of the Hurricane : In the last four albums, they start to repeat themselves and get less and less creativity... still with some highlight of what they do best. I would rank C first and B/C second and only bother with A/E when i'm bored and need something else
スコットの曲を 丁寧に弾いてくれて ありがとうございました。😊🎉🌹
Superb solo Mike!! Band sounds great as well! Fantastic music!
Thanks a lot Sean! Really appreciate that
Swinging!

My Ranking: 1. Treasure: Incredible album. All songs are strong and beautiful. Could listen to this anytime and fall in love all over again. 2. Head Over Heels: In my opinion the most solidly gorgeous album out there. When I first listened to them, this was an album way down there. However, as I have matured, it’s the album I find myself coming back to the most. 3. Garlands: I absolutely LOVE this album. I own the CD extra long version. It used to be my favorite. However, it is a specific mood for me. I need to be ready to take it in to experience it fully. 4. Heaven Or Las Vegas: BEAUTIFUL tracks here. Not, in my opinion, as strong as the first two. Not as complex and layered as Treasure and not as edgy as Head Over Heels, but beautiful album. Garlands overtakes this one due to its complexity. Good album for the summer. 5. Blue Bell Knoll: Great album. Lots of variety and flows in between the songs. Solid. 6. Victorialand: Great album. Gorgeous vocals and super atmospheric. 7. The Moon and The Medlodies: An extension of Victorialand almost. Beautiful album, but not quite as good as VL. 8. Milky And Kisses: Super solid. Just isn’t as incredible as the top 6, but incredibly solid. 9. Four-Calendar Cafe: Couple songs I love. Feels a little redundant but is still an incredible album.
Easier to say the bad Rundgren albums to steer clear of...A Capella ( sorry its got no decent songs) Johnson, Arena, Reproduction
surfs up is easily s tier wdym?
I just discovered this channel because of the Brian Wilson video. I really like how you narrate the videos and how fluid they feel. I love this band, and I completely agree with your list. Great job.
30th Century Man is a stellar song. Ended up in a Wes Anderson movie. Case closed.
