Happy 50th - A Love Supreme
http://www.npr.org/2014/12/07/369191...a-love-supreme
As time goes by, one of my most enduringly favorite albums of all time. One of maybe 10 I've listened to over 200-300 times, and perhaps the only I always listen to 100% engaged. Like, lower the lights, ease into the La-Z-Boy with a scotch and just drink it in. Jazz at the Pawnshop, Famous Blue Raincoat, Dark Side of the Moon, Pictures at an Exhibition, OK Computer, A Love Supreme. Those are the biggies at casa BL.

I want you to imagine me slowly stroking it to these real chill tunes.

Pictures at an Exhibition? I thought that was Mussorgsky or somebody. Or is that a different song by the same name?

In case you are confused, the last line is a list of other albums, NOT tracks on ALS. Arne Domnerus, Jennifer Warnes, Pink Floyd, Modest Mussorgsky, and Coltrane. I'd probably put Dvorak's New World and Holst's Planets in there, maybe Brubeck's Take 5.

Ravel did a fine job with the orchestration but to me, the orchestra takes away from the deeply personal impact that each picture is supposed to have on you. Kind of a too many cooks in the kitchen sort of thing. I totally prefer it the way Mussorgsky intended. |

I know people are going to want to curb stomp me for saying this but I HATE jazz and think it is the MOST overrated genre of music I've ever heard. It comes across to me as something pretentious hipsters listen to while smoking their hand rolled cigarettes and drinking things like Drambuie on ice.
I've never gotten it no matter how many times I listen.

Famous Blue Raincoat too eh? I like Jennifer Warnes' voice very much, but if I want to listen to Leonard Cohen tunes, I go straight to the source.
That being said, both that and A Love Supreme are incredible albums. The first minute or two at the beginning of Acknowledgement always gives me goosebumps. |

Growing up I listened to rock, some pop, dance music from the clubs, but what I really liked then and still love today is R&B/Motown, especially stuff from the 50 and 60s.
The Temptations, Teddy Pendergrass, Diana Ross and The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Barry White, the Four Tops, The Spinners, and on and on. I listen to a lot of alternative today including the Black Keys, Silversun Pickups, AWOL Nation, Cage the Elephant, Imagine Dragons, Bastille, Muse, Metric, Red Hot Chili Peppers. I hate country, hate rap, hate jazz.
