Oh hell yeah, thread bump.

YouTube any five random songs from that list (don't cherry-pick the dogs), I bet 3 or more of them are awesome.

Resurrecting this thread for Grace Jones, 1982.

Breaking racial, sexual, and fashion (!) boundries, the woman has been lucky and is an absolute monster.

I mean, my goodness. The very first shot, she's a black 'man' in a monkey suit

Wait, she was heavily managed and produced by people catching the underground trends of the day and making money on them, diversifying her into fashion, music and film.

Close enough.

^^ So would you say RuPaul is a Rule63 Grace Jones?

I think Grace Jones peaked just a little before her time; she definitely pushed more boundaries further than Madonna Ciccone, and yet the latter is the one everyone remembers for being "edgy".

Non stop 80s music! Yay!

Ru was just another pretty face (I keed, he's had an amazing career). Grace helped pave the way for that face being a man's.

Black Uhuru - Dub in the Mountain

From Brutal Dub, '86. And it was.

just for the sake of it --- warm leatherette is not her's originally.

hhh · 2016-08-03 22:36:21

Most of that isn't hers. Sting let her record Demolition Man, heard it, and then finally recorded it for Ghost in the Machine. Private Life is Chrissie Hynde/Pretenders. La Vie en Rose is flipping Edith Piaf, and Grace made it a hit again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Vie_en_rose

Sly and Robbie. ~200,000 recordings since the mid-70's. All of them in metronomic time.

This is the "golden age" of buying used CDs. You can buy them used $.50 to $3.00 at Goodwill and various other thrift stores. Today I bought the classic "Cure"

^ Take care of em. Could make a killing when the eventual 'CD Revival' comes around in a decade or two.

Irulan · 2016-08-08 02:30:54

Well... it's digital. The only thing that can change is the player, so I rip them, then put them in the closet. I suppose if Skynet becomes self-aware and sends the EMP, I'll need to get them out again;)

@hinto: I've noticed you can get a lot of older CDs from Amazon in the same price range. I saw a copy of the old Taco Bell DoSomething compilation a few days ago.

ohnonot · 2016-08-08 06:39:27

i recently went to a fleamarket where somebody was selling off their cd collection for insanely low prices - like, 50ct for a longplayer, but good sort of indie/alternative stuff from all eras...
mindboggling, but understandable (now there's a paradox!).
i still remember the times i had to haggle over the "rare" or simply good ones, and carefully count my budget beforehand.

Late 70's to early 80's Peter Gabriel. Shakers and closed hi-hats, but no cymbals. Dry percussion.

'77 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGaqmvIEyaI

'78 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITsdkbfQQus

'80 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xZmlUV8muY

'82 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnVf1ZoCJSo

Check it out, in all the tracks from his first 4 albums, no cymbals. It's not until the first track of So in '86 that he uses anything approaching a full drumkit.

hhh · 2016-08-08 08:31:27

I'm not sure that there is a cymbal crash in that track, the biggest crash I heard was a synth at 2:37. Still, more conventional drum sounds, killer songs, his best album.

He gets sparce again after that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0C3DHp36zc
