Great to see Joni Mitchell's jazz period albums being given some love. They are all of the hghest quality - both musically and lyrically. Utterly timeless as well. Also gratitude for praising Simon & Garfunkel - some excellent songs throughout their career.
Hejira is my favourite Joni album. Incredible lyrics and of course, Jaco.
Love Yesterday and Today. Excellent choice.
Right on Pete! Joni Mitchell!
The jazz period is my fav era too. I would say from FOR THE ROSES in 72 up through the live SHADOWS and LIGHT in 1980 featuring Pat Metheny.
GRATITUDE by EWF is full of great musicianship.
EWF, The Moody Blues, and Rush were second to none at being able to merge with the times while keeping their overall sound.
Love Hejira a great deal Pete! So cool you are highlighting this beauty - Jaco plays so well! Refuge of the Road a fav! Wow 1973 Mahavishnu I have to hear. Ladies of the Canyon from Joni another mind bending album , so cool you point this out. Morning Morgantown indeed! Absolutely love her vocals and unusual tunings and expert finger picking. Let alone Woodstock, what a version! And of course Blue and For the Roses (love the hippie risqué photo at Big Sur, wow, I’m with David Crosby) all great! Simon and Garfunkel goes without saying - so good!
Hejira is a great album. Jaco of course adds a lot of magic, my favorite of her discography.
hey Pete! these are my absolute favorite series on your channel. Please do more!
Thanks for sharing Pete! We picked up the 4 CD set of Y & T’s “Earthquake: The A & M Years 1981-85.” Love it!🎧
Nice to see you delving into Joni Mitchell. Apart from just loving her artistry, I 'll always be grateful to her for having highlighted Jaco. The first time I heard him play on Hejira, I was just a teenager but that was like nothing else I had heard before. Have loved him ever since and , well, ...Joni, is just...wondrous.
Nice I see Hijera Joni Mitchell
My second favorite album of hers behind Court and Spark
It's so cool how she aligned up with Jocko out of nowhere and did this Jazz thing for a while.
In fact there's a great concert on CZcams from 1980 or 79 with Pat Metheny and Jocko backing her up and it's awesome
Jaco
@@MackeyWilliams ya. Fast typing few days ago
I shall leave it and give you credit for the discovery of the error of my ways 👍🏾
Early birthday gift for me. Thanks, Trucker Kev.@@truckerkevthepaidtourist
I'm trying to recall the story - someone in Joni's circle recommended Jaco because he was the kinda bassist that played everything but the Root. IIRC, it was a Joni interview in either DOWNBEAT or MUSICIAN magazine.
Very happy to see another The Listening Room episode. Great picks, some that I never heard off, will check them out asap. Some albums I'm listening to the most these days:
Billy Cobham - A Funky Thide of Sings
Therion - Leviathan III & Lemuria
Herbie Hancock - Thrust
Lucifer - Lucifer V
Hexerei - Nihil I Celandum
Alunah - Strange Machine
So cool that you are digging Joni Mitchell Pete, love those albums you mentioned, the live album Shadows And Light is a must. Also great to see Earth Wind And Fire-Gratitude, killer live album.
Love the jazz era of Joni
My favourite albums by Joni Mitchell are: Herija , followed by Don Juan’s wreckless daughter , and then “ Dog eat Dog “ which was a real change of direction for Joni and features and is co produced by Thomas Dolby
Originally, I was drawn to the channel by my love of hard rock and progressive rock. If Pete has been enlightened by The Hissing of Summer Lawns, then I just became a lifelong sub.
Since we’ve been doing the milestone albums that turn 50, 40 and/or 30, I’ve been re-listening to those albums.
Recently at the gym, I’ve been listening to: (on Spotify and/or iTunes)
Motörhead- Kiss of Death
Judas Priest- Angel of Retribution
Iron Maiden- A Matter of Life and Death
Toto- The Seventh One
Asia- Astra
I just bought No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unleaded, Marillion ‘Radiation’ and Toto ‘Kingdom of Desire’ on CD I have just given that a spin.
Last weekend, I listened to Steve Hackett ‘The Circus and the Nightwhale’
I really like the NO QUARTER album & DVD. Cool re-imaging with Eastern instruments & musicians.
I wish Pete had his own Sirius channel.
Give him time . He's a man on a mission .
Great to see you playing some Joni Mitchell. 'Hejira' is possibly my favourite album of all time.
Got the VMP version of Master of Reality last month and been listening to that a ton.
Thanks to the upcoming ranking for Chase, I've been listening to them again as well as a bunch of similar jazz-rock/funk bands (Cold Blood, Tower of Power, Sons of Champlin, Rhinoceros, Lighthouse, Swallow, Brian Auger and the Trinity featuring Julie Driscoll) and Streetwalkers because of the death of one of the members.
Rhinoceros was pretty cool, 3 quality albums (s/t, Satin Chickens & their best Better Times Are Coming). Funky soul, I believe they were a band 'constructed' by their record company, with ultimate ties to Lou Reed, Zappa, BS&T & Iron Butterfly...Been getting more into Tower Of Power lately although I still don't have a lot - but when they were good they were great...Lighthouse is a classic with at least 8 excellent albums...Swallow (the US/Boston band) is pretty obscure, I believe only 2 albums, I have their s/t 2nd album (1973, not bad) - still hunting for their first from '72 called Out of the Nest.They had ties to Atlanta Rhythm Section & Skunk Baxter
I can't thank Tim enough for that awesome book! Really opening eyes to a band that I had only heard in name, but now feel a strong attachment to the band.
Excited for an upcoming Voyager or Angra ranking - both would be tons of fun.
And, of course, we're here for the Sabbath bootlegs!!
Been listening to a bunch of 70s Herbie Hancock recently, as well as Maiden Voyage and Empyrean Isles. Also have basically had Aja by Steely Dan on repeat.
I will try and be in and out. Have dinner arrangements with bro in law. Will definitely watch later / if not live. Enjoy classmates 👍💯
Unacceptable. Take control of your student body, Prinicpal Joyce
@@georgelamie7001/. Lmao. I will give it every effort/ you know that my friend 👍💯
Love the listening room show!
So happy to see Bread mentioned and look forward to the ranking episode. A band that doesn't get talked about anywhere near enough, some beautiful singles and deep album tracks, always loved James Griffin's voice and of course Mr David Gates
I like the Jaco with Mitchell
I also got the Y&T bug.
Today i bought the Y&T Earthquake A&M years boxset. The guy from the record store immediately sad how much he liked Black Tiger and Forever.
I used to own In rock we trust and Down for the count lp's but never liked them.
After hearing you among other guys talk about this band i'm really curious about the earlier ones.
And last week ik bought the Type O Negative Dead Again on vinyl. Really got me on the Type O mood
AWESOME VIDEO !!!
The new Steve Hackett album “The Circus and the Nightwhale” has been on my repetitive playlist for the last couple of weeks. Fantastic!
My favourite show of the month, picked up number of Joe Bonamassa live albums, enjoying live at the Sydney opera house, great to see a Bonamassa live ranking. Picked up 3 Skull Fist in the last couple of weeks, actually the later albums really have some melodic touches, moving into a real Canadian classic sound. Completed my Armored Saint and Lizzy Borden studio album releases, while buying more recent releases, Fires In the Distance and Aetherian , Kardashev, with the odd box set by Fruupp, The Mott inspired Down N Outz, live recordings with Joe Elliott and to finish, Temple Balls with Avalanche
Worked at music distribution warehouse in early 90's in Albany got my hands on a lot of promos would listen to 20 secs of each song.
Lately I've mainly been listening to Judas Priest (Hell Bent), Saxon (first four albums), Kreator and Overkill
"Meniketti, one of the underrated dudes in all of hard rock and metal; just a great vocalist, great guitar player. Needs to be more of a household name in my opinion."
A little louder, for the people in the back! This can't be said enough.
Great to see another episode of the Listening Room! I picked up Gratitude as part of an Original Album Series from Earth Wind and Fire recently and it is spectacular. Joni Mitchell's work in the 1970s is amazing and my favorites are from For the Roses through Hejira, respectively. As a fellow Y&T fan, I have to pick up those Unearthed CDs.
I have been hitting these new albums hard lately:
Saxon - Hell Fire and Damnation
KMFDM - Let Go
Tinsley Ellis - Naked Truth
Gratitude is smokin. Love the vintage live in seventy five
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Absolutely!
Seems I've on a bit of a tear recently:
Bad Company - In Concert: Merchants of Cool
Blazon Rite - Wild Rites and Ancient Songs
Chemikilled - Aftermath
Case History-The Best of Dr. Feelgood
Deep Purple in Rock
Great White - Stick It
Helvetets Port - From Life...to Death
Iron Curtain - Jaguar Spirit
Legs Diamond - A Diamond is a Hard Rock
Liege Lord - Master Control
Manowar - Hail to England
Rival Sons - Hollow Bones
Satanic Rites - Which Way the Wind Blows
Savage Grace - Demo 1991-New York Tapes
Saxon - Into the Labyrinth
Michael Schenker Group - Assault Attack
Supertramp - Crime of the Century
Good choices.
My wife and I are currently listening to:

Anthrax - Sound of White Noise
Stanley Clarke - School Days
Phil Keaggy - Town to Town
Wishbone Ash - Four
Black Sabbath - Vol. 4
Tourniquet - Psycho Surgery

There are a few others, but we listen in our studio and don't feel like going there now to look at the rest...this list was from memory, lol.
@@boomer3150 quality selections
@@independenceltd. Thank you, sir...so much music, so little time.
That Meniketti solo album is great
Nice to see all those Joni albums on the ol' Pardo ranch. Court and Spark turns fifty this year. It's arguably her finest all-round album and the bridge between her folk and jazz periods. Keep spinning 'em Pete.
That Mahavishnu sounds like a great pick up. Those Sabbath Boots will be high on my “to get” list.
Glad U picked up the Y & T "Unearthed" Vol. 1! Both 1 & 2 are good & I've been enjoying them for several years. + those Sabbath bootlegs look interesting🤔
Lots of bands for me to check it out ! Cheers !
Always love hearing what people are listening to, it’s what makes us music heads.. How about a ranking of the Top Mike Millard recordings?? … I also love Long Beach ‘75 except it’s his Zeppelin recording 😂.. fascinating story behind the guy and his technique as well.. think it would make an interesting episode and plenty are on You Tube as well for people to check out.. ..
I'm reading Y&T Down For the Count book now!! - great band totally underated !! Very cool picking up those cds! The live one is tremendous on Metal Blade !
Hey Pete, would love a video of you covering Great Whites studio albums
Missed Joni's "Turbulent Indigo". Very good, Grammy winner
Kreator did those Media Book Re-Releases for their 1st 8 Albums, with various Bonus-Stuff. So, theoratically, you could get "Extreme Aggression" and "Pleasure to Kill" in those, too. Just in case you didn't know about these. Around the same time Celtic Frost did Re-Releases in Media Books, too (all but "Cold Lake" and "Monotheist").
I'm currently playing the new albums from ,
Mary Halvorson -- Cloudward
Mr. Bison - Echoes From The Universe
Big Scenic Nowhere -- The Waydown
Doing this show monthly would be a good replacement for the much missed Curse of the Collector. Cheers 🍺
new stuff:
Nemophila's Evolve, Saxon's Hell Fire & Damnation, Tinlicker's Cold Enough For Snow
old stuff:
Anthem's Heraldic Device, Krux's III (first time), Soen's Imperial, Galneryus' Union Gives Strength, Candlemass' Live, Moderat's III, Stanley Clarke's Journey to Love, Yello's Stella
all good stuff.
I just got the Motorhead "The Lost Tapes, 8 cds boxset. That's currently spinning. New Lucifer, Artillery, North Sea Echo.
Joni is having a resurgence in 2023/24 . There is so much to discover or re- discover , as we all get older . How about checking out Leo Kottke ? The 1st one , with the Armadillo on the cover ( 6 + 12 string guitar ) is still an all time favorite .
Here’s some of the new stuff I have discovered. Nick Drake / Five leaves left, Bryter layter, Pink Moon. Crabby Appleton( 2 CD anthology) Circus 2000( 2 CD anthology). Titus groan(1970) Fuchsia (1971). Horse, For twisted mind only (1970). Nosfertu a kraurtrock band from 1970. Charge (1973). Iron butterfly/ Scorching beauty,Sun and steel. The blues image, Open Frijid pink, The Deram recording 1970 and 1971. The Doors(without Jim Morrison) Other voices and Full circle and An American prayer. The Writing on the wall, The power of the picts(1969). Leaf Hound Growers of mushrooms (1971). Salem mass,Witch burning (1971). Now I know that sounds like a lot but I try not to get too excited as I discover Singers and groups from the 60s and 70s🤩👍🎧🎼🎸🥁
Def Leppard, The Monkees, and Opeth.
I saw that one of y'all said nice variety. I was just in I have plans of listening to certain bands entire catalogue. Had fun listening to all of them. Def Leppard never were hair metal, but definitely one of the best bands of the 80s. Plus I have a shirt from them. It looks clean and awesome. I decided to listen to The Monkees since I forgot to listen to them. I was listening to The Byrds again. I listened to them in January, and I thought why not listen to them again. I love The Byrds. Didn't listen to The Monkees last month, so I decided to listen to them, and I did that yesterday. I love these guys. Good Times is a great comeback album. Everyone is gone except for Micky Dolenz. And just today, I decided to listen to Opeth because I was just in the mood. I wanted to listen to Helloween, but seeing how long it would take, I decided to go with Opeth because I like them. They're one of my favorite progressive bands of all time. Number 3, behind The Moody Blues and Pink Floyd. I plan on listening to Helloween next week, during spring break. I want to listen to Kreator and Sodom, but I have plans listening to other bands instead. I plan on listening to Manic Street Preachers because they're one of the most underrated bands of the 90s. Plus, they're Welsh. Great band that came out of Wales.
listening to a bunch of stuff lately. lots of Sabbath, Bowie, Slayer, Lucifer, Priest, Ace Frehley, Death Angel, and Nine Inch Nails
Y&T and Simon and Garfunkel 👍
I just watched this very cool lots of neat stuff
Mini Joni Mitchell deep dive she's I really come to appreciate her more and more as I've gotten older.
You and Grant going to be doing bread wow!
Yeah they did Rock a couple of times too 😂
Mother freedom is a kick-ass fuzz guitar rocker
And their truckin not same one everybody knows from the dead another fun tune.
I think I'm going to get that Mahavishu orchestra before it goes out of print on CD that looks really cool.
You should also get the Destruction live album Live Without Sense from 1989
Sometimes i wonder if you have eough than 24 hours to do all things . lol . i will always continue to watch the sot . Great work
At 5:46 Pete mentioned me aiding him in getting that Sodom 5 Original Albums in 1 box. That is a rare sucker. There is another one that is sold out, I purchased the other one on Discogs - sorry Pete.
That Energit set is great! Did you ever pick up the Mondo Drag albums outside of the last album?
Way to load up on the Y&T!
Sweet.
I’ve also been on a Y&T kick and just picked up the same live album as well. I’ve been looking for those Destruction cds as well, where did you find them?
Kreator 🤘🤘🤘
I've been in a HUGE Derek Sherinian, Planet X and Allan Holdsworth vibe for a couple of months already, and I've been playing the heck out of DS's 'The Phoenix' (2020), 'Vortex' (2022), and 'Sherinian/Phillips Live' (2023), Planet X's 'MoonBabies' (2002) and 'Quantum' (2007), as well as a Holdsworth 2-CD compilation released in 2005 called 'Against the Clock', which the first CD comprises of guitar-oriented songs, and the second one of SynthAxe-oriented songs.
Also, since I'm gonna see them this Saturday in Brasília, I'm listening to a lot of Rotting Christ, a Greek black/death metal band with some great songs in their catalogue! I'm gonna list their most recent compilation 'Their Greatest Spells' (2018), comprising of a 30-year retrospective with songs from all of their albums, and their most recent album thus far, 'The Heretics' (2019).
I almost forgot to mention a Brazilian hip-hop/rap artist called Victor Schiavon (aka Yun Li), who released at the end of 2023 his most recent, and IMO his best, album, 'Biitersweet Memories'. There are some really memorable songs, some are energetic, while other are really melancholic.
I think Nemophila are one of the best bands out there at the moment. But it seems like the Western world doesn't listen to Japanese bands very much.
100%agree.their live youtube videos are absolutely killer.
@@robertadams998I was hooked from the moment I saw the Dissension MV. The best thing to happen during Covid was finding their music.
Hi Pete I know I’ve asked a few times but do you plan a Steven Wilson ranking with Steven Reid ?
I have that same 3 CD destruction box set but I usually just listen to the Antichrist. Looking forward to that Kreator and Sodom rankings. Only Sodom I’m missing is Masquerade In Blood mainly since it’s pretty expensive.
I’m so surprised you had bread there bud there Awsome I just never seen u being into them I like the element of surprise way cool have a great day everyone 🏴🍻👍🏼
It might be one of those ones for homework he learned to listen to other than just the known radio hits
Because it's kind of like the yacht Rock episode with Pablo Cruise him and Grant are going to get together and rank them.
The albums I've had on repeat as of late aren't too varied, but wanted to share anyways...
Creatures In The Night - Kiss
Lick It Up - Kiss
Look What the Cat Dragged In - Poison
Reload - Metallica
Pronounced' Leh-'Nerd 'Skin-'Nerd - Lynyrd Skynyrd
No More Tears - Ozzy Osbourne
Sabotage - Black Sabbath
Women And Children First - Van Halen
Try the band Paradise Lost- Album - Icon
Oddly enough there’s a YES song titled Yesterday and Today on the first album.
Due to his recent passing earlier this week, made a Bobby Tench playlist for myself & have been listening to that for a few days: Gass, early 70's Jeff Beck, Hummingbird, Streetwalkers, Boxer, Hanson (UK), Widowmaker, late 70's/early 80's Humble Pie...
I'm listening to all the Kreator albums in reverse order.
I'm on the fence if I need Destruction, Sodom & Tankard
I also own the Bread Original Album Series set...Joni Mitchell - MILES OF AISLES, a live set with Tom Scott & The L.A. Express is also quite cool. The Joni MINGUS-era album...we all know the players...I kinda recall seeing a pic in DOWNBEAT with a different line-up ; Jaco-McLaughlin-Wayne Shorter-Tony Williams-Herbie...TMK, nothing out there with these guys. Sounds killer. Anybody?
Not a big Mitchell fan personally but that Mingus album has some interesting stuff. Supposedly prior to those recodings she made some "experimental sessions" with Williams/McLaughlin/Hammer/Clarke that (according to Wiki): "...rumored to have been lost, destroyed, or otherwise made unavailable, have become available as bootleg tapes". Check out Jivin' With Joni: The Lost Recordings 1978-1979
As for German thrash try Deathrow's first 3 albums. Riders of Doom, Raging Steel and Deception Ignored. All released on Noise. Better than Sodom.
Whadayadoin' Pedro!!?? Think you're "Wolfe Pardo" in the CNN "Situation Room"!! LOL!! ♠
Joni Mitchell? You’re a stone’s throw away from rocking out to some Dylan! Don’t turn back now Pete!!
😂😂😂😂
Man I hope Pete gives Dylan a chance. Seriously, if you understand that his lyrics timeless. And Highway 61 Revisited is just a genius masterpiece album.
Then go to Blood on the Tracks and Desire.
Some of the best albums ever made.
@@randytaylor220 I don't think that's going to happen. He might like Dylan sung by other people though😂
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist yeah, but I didn’t think there was hope for me either. I hated his voice and harmonica growing through my metal and hard rock phase, but I’m glad I saw the light when I did.
It’s just master class art and genius songwriting. He will be studied and talked about alongside the Beatles generations from now.
yes, Bob Dylan, Magma, RHCP and Mars Volta rankings by Pete would be utterly surprising.
Any Gino Vannelli albums ?
only the debut. he sold out after that
@@independenceltd. yes but only for three albums black cars big dreamers never sleep and inconsolable man
Then after those albums he made great albums again in all genres of music
Coincidentally was just listening to Y&T's Free To Roll: Santa Barbara '85 King Biscuit Hour - not great sound quality (might be a boot) - high energy. Meniketti's On The Blue Side is a nice departure from the heavier Y&T sound, more bluesy (naturally) but still features some blistering guitar. I actually prefer this blues/rock stuff to Y&T, the attack/aggressive style reminds a bit of Gary Moore's approach to blues (and that's a VERY good thing)...
Jazz Q is a pretty cool Czech band that's proggy/jazzy/psyche, I've got two 70's albums: Watchtower & Symbiosis (those are the English titles), they've got at least a handful more releases. Following those band members down the rabbit hole leads you to a bunch of good proggy/jazzy bands like: the aforementioned Energit, Bohemia (some Zappa vibes & Tull - I focus on the instrumentals), Collegium Musicum (some interesting tracks, think ELP but not quite as 'overblown' & with more guitars...but you know what you're in for when the first track on the first album is a 22 minute suite),
A Bread ranking episode? Yes! Not into their poppy/schmaltzy hits but their early stuff (1969-72) is good plus 1977's Lost Without Your Love...Pete getting into Simon & Garfunkel! A Bob Dylan appreciation episode can't be far off...just kidding😎
