Full and unedited episodes please! (best podcast ever )👹
Finally Peter Hammill’s solo work is getting the attention it deserves! And on top of that, it’s being done by two of the best music commentators. He is my personal favourite musician! Emotional, courageous, and can eloquently say so much about the human experience.
You could spend many years trying to digest all of Peter Hammill’s solo (and with VdGG) records - so much great stuff
Ha! My "Where's Prince?" question made it to the podcast!
Talk Talk...top of the list, should be!
The most surprising thing about this live podcast is the fact that Steven Wilson is wearing shoes.
Concerning Hammill: you forgot one CRUCIAL point: his voice. It's a love or hate thing. Since all his music is very centered on his singing and his delivery is very unusual for the most part, lots of people will never dive into his large, beautiful, strange, unique body of work
You should invite Peter Hammill as a guest at some point.. and maybe run through his solo discography in 15 parts or something
Awesome idea! But that would be a loooong video😂
Btw, does someone know what Hammill is up to at the moment? He went very off-radar since his health problems and is releasing way less music than in the past and almost no updates on sofasound.....I really hope he's ok!
I like the term “a moving to silence”. As an older song writer I can really appreciate a concept of silent music aka ambience, tone building.
Steven Wilson must be now the happiest person on this planet. This is why having loving family is so important.
Timelord, Otto Spooky, The Ultraconformist. 3 great Momus albums.
I started getting into Momus about 3 years ago and there's so much to discover.
I am delighted that Peter Hammill came top. Considering he has been releasing albums once or twice a year through the period covered by the Album Years, and you have been referencing him regularly, I would have been surprised if he did not feature. I discovered PH in the late 1970s with the PH7 album. I went off and collected his back catalogue and the VDGG catalogue over the next few years. What an eclectic mix of music this is!! As Steven says, there is no obvious “in door” album to start with. His voice can be “marmite”. I sometimes struggle with his shouty barking style myself. (Enough with the existential angst, just sing it Peter!)
PH has a very devoted following. Am happy to be one of them.
You forget Peter Gabriel Tim mentions him often
I know you got Battiato' covered, but there's another mainstream Italian artist who was gattin' 'sperimental in 1974 and made a "concept" album with a prog group. The opening track is kinda somewhere between Talk Talk and The Blue Nile FFS (and not a little Floyd, now I'm listening again,) and that's just for starters (literally.) I am speaking of Lucio Battisti's Anima Latina.
Wonderfull The Album Years boys
Love you guys give some love to Peter Hammill
The Ham!
Can't believe ABBA isn't top 1
hahahah, of course, THE HAM!
Had to be ‘The Ham’ even tho’ was rooting for ELO (who have been mentioned a time or two). 😊
I love the interplay, you guys!
What I wouldn’t give to have Steven Wilson remix some of Peter Hammill’s solo albums!!! Please make it happen one day @StevenWilsonHQ and @cherryredgroup! You could make it a labor of love 😉
The only time i didn’t want Bowie to change just for one record would be for a Brother release to Station to Station. How good would that have been !
Todd Rundgren should be mentionned on each and every show about good music. What about Steely Dan ?
The end of an Album Years video is the low point of my week.
Nice! Looking forward to more of this. Wish there was no editing on the live episodes though.
i think the meat that had been beaten for Clara was actually pork and not beef. Just in case someone needs the recipe,
Out of context, your two sentences are a beautiful abstract poem.
I really enjoy the 'Tube vids, but please, please, please put the full podcasts online too fellas... :D
I didn't grow up with David Bowie, so I never really knew his music apart from the hits. Recently (Im 41 by the way) I decided to listen to all his albums in chronological order.
I have always loved Bowie as an artist, I have watched hours of interviews with him, but I'm (genuinely) sad to say his music does very little for me. Of course there are absolutely genius songs (I mean genius to me, to lots of others everything he did is genius of course), but as a whole I'm not really impressed by his repertoire. I know I'm in the minority though. I want to say that maybe with time his music will grow on me, but I don't think it will.
At least you tried.
Never say never though. He’s done so many different styles of album, theres a chance that at least one might grab you one day. Low is my favourite album by anyone ever. As a useless muso myself nothing has influenced me more
It is so weird that Common One is not way up there for everyone...I cannot imagine his catalog without it.
ohhhh, Veedon Fleece...may be my favorite of all of his.
Loving these videos as of recent. Keep it up guys 👍
As for Van, railing, yeah...in fact, he has become GET OFF MY LAWN central if not adjacent.
You guys got me to finally investigate John Martyn...got a ton of releases.
I'd say the best period is from 1971's Bless The Weather (beautiful) to 1981's Glorious Fool (Don't You Go is devastating). Beyond and before, patchy offerings lie.
@@bowness1 yeah, I have definitely noted stylistic and tone differences!
@@bowness1 I meant, I went and got a ton of em!
@@bowness1have to agree.
best album to start with?
You can keep Floyd 🙉 but the rest are cool.
Steve - I really enjoyed your work on the Deluxe Ultravox albums. I was hoping they were going to make some similar editions of the first three Foxx era records but I get the feeling that ship has sailed. Would be very keen to hear what you would do to Systems Of Romance, one of my most influential records of all time. Were the Foxx Vox albums ever discussed with you ?
Lol...in whatever situation (solo or with PT), I've never had any kind of obvious connection between Steve Wilson and Pink Floyd. In fact, I'll see comments all the time about how folks like the Pink Floyd essence or sound in a SW or PT tune, and 95% of the time, I don't see it. I would say Wilson's approach to MAKING music has more of a PF approach versus a direct steal from the sound. And just to qualify, I love most of the SW's or PT's catalogue, and I think more so because any Pink Floyd influence isn't so obvious (I'm also a massive Floyd fan).
La primera vez que escuché PT pensé " WoW, alguien como Pink Floyd, nadie ha hecho eso" luego escuché Eloy y es un caso claro
the most blatant example is voyage 34's delayed palm mutes and bird swells, but other than that i agree with you
@@nuisanceguru Good point. In my comment, I almost typed "with the exception of some of his earlier stuff" which would be the majority chunk of that 5% of the time when I DO hear something of his that sounds Floydian.
Nice candles.
The ham???
Can't believe XTC aren't in the top 10 - Talk Talk are in it, though, so it's ok.
I lived in Swindon for a while and got to know Mr Partridge…..🤔🤨
Missing: Abba, Donna Summer, Tears for Fears and Frank Zappa
I never saw no 1 coming. great choice !!!!!!!!
Excluding one name that I personally cannot put in any list...there are Huge names...in there....
Thank youuuuu...for another SUPER LOVELY PODCAST...
Tim and Steven!!!🙏👍💯💎🎙💎📀💎💞💗💕💞🌬🌊🎶
Frank Zappa is really missing here
I often wish Sufjan Stevens would have come along earlier, because I feel like he would sit so perfectly in the stuff you cover, esp the top ten.
I DEMAND JUSTICE FOR XTC
But youre gay so…
Very entertaining dialog as usual! But please check again, i think the most pronounced word by both of you was "pastiche"
I was hoping Taylor Swift to be number 1.
🙄
@@lms2932 🙄X2.
People who don’t get her, dont get it ;)
@@peterbuckley9731 🙄🙄
@@peterbuckley9731 It was a joke, I was expecting ABBA.
So anything pale and male, then 😂 there's a window into the CZcams demographic right there. 🎉
And women ??? When come the list???
No women made it to this list? Really?? Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Laura Nyro, PJ Harvey, Jane Siberry??? Really????
We didn't come up with the list. It was apparently generated by an AI app. Given that we have discussed Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, Alice Coltrane and Jane Siberry a fair amount, we were surprised they didn't make the list. Ditto Sylvian/Japan and The Blue Nile.
@@bowness1 No ABBA was a surprise.
Pink Floyd sucks lol. Yes and all the other prog rock bands are way better
I loathe Floyd. The most over earnest, self-important drivel Ive had the misfortune to hear. Don’t mind Piper - at least that’s got some humour. But all that chin-stroking stuff …🙉. Nasty.
The Piper and Meddle are good
