T.Rex - The Slider

Artist: T.Rex

Album: The Slider

Year: 1972

Genre: Glam Rock, Proto-Punk, Classic Rock

Country: UK

Simply put, it's summer, and what a disservice I would be doing if I didn't share an excellent album to kick start the hot months.  Not much else gives me the feeling of freedom and possibility with as much zest as a good ol' T.Rex album.  T.Rex is one of those bands that should have been/should be more popular than they are.  Marc Bolan is simply fabulous, and definitely a must on everyone's summer evening play list.

riyl: The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The New York Dolls, Freddie Mercury

The Coral

artist: the coral
album: the coral
year:2002
genre: folk, neo-psychedelic(ish)

mixing in some olde tyme folk and neo psychedelic sounds the coral had an original hit in 2002 with their debut album. what's happened since then? well honestly nothing all that notable some four or five albums later. admitidedly after nightfreak and the sons of becker i didn't feel there was any reason to keep up to date with them. but that doesn't change what once was. genre splicing and sound blending, this album is fantastic. by all means though don't let me tell you what to think about their later albums. feel free to update me on their latest.

I was hyping these guys back in '06 when this came out. Yet another classic case of no one listening too me. Look where they are now!

Get that shit!
