R. Stevie Moore - I Wish I Could Sing (1976)

[@ummagumma33]

This has existed my whole life...and I'm just finding it now.

[@BogeyMusicProject]

Same here, 5 years later...

[@T4vion]

Seven years later too

[@michaelb7307]

Yup

[@gumpymcbarfbag3884]

1976??????? Waaayyyyy into the future is this genius!!!!

[@zonqor]

I wish I could have heard of Stevie 30 years ago, instead of only last week.

[@bassinblue]

To be honest, it's his fault. Most bands struggle for years playing in shitty clubs before they make it big. Those days of playing in crappy places isn't wasted, it's their conditioning. I guess RSM wanted to stay home lol

[@grahamblackmore2632]

Its bizarre but im glad I have actually thanks to Ariel Pink for the hook up.

[@BogeyMusicProject]

Same here :D

[@Nathanwatchingstuff]

You have to hunt for the good ones.

[@annala2956]

[@JSLiCc]

Thanks for the tunes RSM. Hats off to you sir

[@Half_giraffe]

7 years before Guided by Voices, unreal. This guy is a pioneer.

[@theheadphonea-hole4133]

This guy was out in the 50's

[@kelechi_77]

[@dougyuck]

​@@kelechi_77 The earliest documented work on his Bandcamp page is from 1957.

No matter what year you end up here .. it's all part of your journey. Now go... Do it yourself.

[@jesselopes5196]

R Stevie is everything I've ever wanted in music

[@jf3715]

Holy fuck…this is an actual musical genius. Thank you whoever told about this guy…can’t remember

[@crow33215]

This is ridiculously ahead of its time

[@porkchop9258]

I love R. Stevie Moore!!! One of the best creative minds ever!!!

[@ronbo11]

The closest non DYI artist I can compare to RSM is Roy Wood of The Move, ELO and Wizzard fame. There's a certain vocal similarity and definitely a willingness to write experimental yet catchy pop music. Great stuff!

[@icareg]

id put pink floyd on that list

[@antvic123]

Now when i play in A it sounds like this:Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaammmmm!

[@thecjwolfpack]

Whenever a new sound comes out, people are quick to call it garbage. Then 5 years later everyone is doing it.

[@dannyj77dj]

No wonder Ariel Pink loves this guy, he's awesome

[@ErikGiovani]

Bro wtf, I was just listening to Ariel pink trying to sing a long... I was like fuck I wish I could sing and I googled that and now I’m here

[@PeasGraveny]

His sound sometimes reminds me of XTC and Squeeze, but better. Modern, yet Beatle-esque pop music of the highest order!

[@trashheep7482]

R. Stevie Moore is a huge influence on me for sure. Home taping ftw

[@traxonjackal]

I feel like this is one of Jack Stauber's main influences

[@Grimosaur]

You should listen to You Think You Really Know Me by Gary Wilson, really does sound like a 70s Jack Stauber.

[@MasDouc]

Jack Stauber is just a poor man's ariel pink

[@Yasherdooble]

I wish I could sing just as a good as you

[@fuegoalert8804]

Mr. Moore's song are indeed special, but I still feel a little young. Now the can has been open I can't come back. I have been de-moorelized.

[@permanentvacation2406]
