Neil Young - After The Goldrush
Velvet Underground - Peel Slowly and See
The Gaslight Anthem - American Slang
Bruce Springsteen...
Great stuff. Really enjoying these at the moment. I've always regarded Springsteen with an air of suspicion. I don't know. I think it must be something to do with all the punk I bothered my ears with when I was younger - he always seemed too bloated, too mainstream. The realisation that the reason some things are mainstream just because they're awesome is both humbling and liberating.
Anyway, it turns out that pretty much every great rock band of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries owes a huge debt to The Boss.
It's kind of hard to type while punching the air with one hand.
