Raslee Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I used to find Mahavishnu Orchestra or Return to Forever got rid of all but the musician types, especially when I had a lodger who was a techno DJ 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Belly Evans Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 As Trout mask replica has been so wonderfully included. I will up the ante slightly. This will do it every time😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 The one album guaranteed to remove people from my room at university was, odd as it may seem, by ELO. The second side of ELO2 is very easy listening compared to some of the others here, but From the Sun to the World and Kuiama were clearly a bit much for my Dire Straits loving friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey ho, you wouldn't have got me out of your slippers and off your sofa had you have played such bangers to me.

StickyDBRmf Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 All my selections are stuff I adore. I have to add one other album & cut. My second Frank Zappa album (when I was 11) was Weasles Ripped My Flesh. (first was Chungas Revenge) Both bought because of the titles. I liked W.R.M.F. alot better. The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbeque turned me on to E.D. (my favourite horn player). I figured if he deserved a BBQ he must be IMPORTANT. And the title cut, man I wanted to be in a band that had the balls to end a show like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I love NiN Broken, bit it doesn’t seem popular with many people. I think it’s a work of complete genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 When I feel utterly desolate and need to wallow, while being simultaneously cheered I play Bish Bosch by Scott Walker. While it reaches deep into my soul, nobody else seems to want to hang around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthedoghouse Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) If you have more classically music minded visitors this ought to do the trick 🙂 Or for something more orchestral 🙂 Edited May 17, 2020 by inthedoghouse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like my kind of thing It’s brilliant, Bob Mould was going through a really rough patch of his life with band and relationship breakups and other problems. You can really hear it all come out through the album. And as we all know, happy people don’t write good music............. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Primus, Zappa, Kills witch Engage, Five Finger Death Punch, anything jazz based like Miles Davis or Weather Report/ Jaco scares off the Mrs. The kids generally love metal (both are under 4) and I used to sing them to sleep with NIB.

ubit Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 If I want to get my Mrs complaining ( that's what would happen, she definitely wouldn't up and leave) I just need to put on Kylie. I don't particularly like Kylie but can appreciate some of her dance tunes but Mrs Ubit absolutely detests her. To the point where she gets angry if she comes on. I refuse to delete her songs as I like to have a variation on random but I am sure there are less of her songs on the computer than there used to be.

My ex firstly heard Gong Gazeuse , saying oh no not hippy trippy crap. She loved it. Secrets became her favourite. She accompanied me to an AH gig @ Brentford Waterman's Arts Centre, there weren't many females at Holdsworth gigs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can now blitz people with the Eidolon double CD, about 150 minutes of Allan. Luckily my Portuguese neighbour's son, no mean Fado'ey guitarist has now discovered he loves Allan. His girlfriend blames me however 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbass13 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Haha yes Allan's Music seems to be a little challenging to people who come from different listening habits..... When I feel like I need some alone time and recharge, I listen to his music. My girlfriend thinks its weird....she does like some John Mclaughlin though!

The ex sang in BBC symphony chorus and liked Messiaen, Henze and Bartok. .& from Weather Report to 1990s rave. My Stereo used to get some workouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
