The Top Ten Records I Listen To The Most

[@nateschmidt8881]

I’ve watched about 30 of these “10 records I’ve Listened to Most” videos the past couple of weeks, and with an exception of the Zeppelin pick and an affinity towards “meddle” from Pink Floyd (high school CD boombox bedroom sessions at 3:00 am), your picks most closely align with my taste. Nice descriptions of all of the records, by the way!

[@mazzysmusic]

Nice selection I think I have all except Voices and we overlapped on two titles. The reach back thing must have been great for the muscles. Cool you jumped in Chris stared a fun thread ✌🏻

[@lostmixtapes]

Gotta get the workout in one way or another.

[@charlesdrake3125]

I forgot about that Dexter Gordon album, definitely will pull that one later today. Thanks for reminding me.

[@mvellis3863]

Dexter Gordon's "One Flight Up" is one of the best sounding of the Blue Note Tone Poet series, it's an incredible album

[@lostmixtapes]

Sounds like he’s right there in the living room.

[@TomFazzini]

So true @mvellis3863. Maybe something about that European touch

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

Nice mix of old and new music which is important. You covered a lot of decades instead of getting stuck in just one or two decades. I have been thinking about this also. Just have to get around to it

[@jasonarsenault3791]

Wow. Great selections. Nice work🤘🏼

[@spinittweeks3246]

Hey! Wow listened to Jason Isbell for the first time on your recommendation. So glad I did. Elephant and cover me up gave me the feels. Will listen to more. The lyrical style gave me sunkillmoon vibes. Thanks bud 👍🏼

[@lostmixtapes]

The new one is really good too. Probably my favorite of his after that one. I listened to Mark Kozelek’s What’s Next To The Moon the other day…totally forgot how good that is.

[@TheDigitalGramophone]

Some great choices here, Todd. A couple of these are among my favorite albums. Waits and Isbell. As much as I love Jason Isbell, I never have considered him "go to." I just really binge his albums when inspired. The National and GBV could have very well been in my list. We share one album on our list. Posting my video soon. Glad you jumped on this thread.

[@lostmixtapes]

Looking forward to watching your video. I don’t listen to other Isbell that much. Even the new one. It’s more of a kick thing. Southeastern is the exception, especially in the fall and winter.

[@tomrobinson5776]

Beggars Banquet is my go to Stones album as well. Perfect record.

[@badger1492]

Jason Isbell: yes! Great album. Not one you usually hear ppl mention. Not always my go-to bcs it's kinda dark and serious. Elephant. What can I say. Such an emotional song.

[@davidatkinson-Music-and-More]

Great selection. Love 'Mule Variations' - a wonderful, eclectic mixture. Some real beauty in there. And 'What's He Building fantastically channels Ken Nordine.

[@lostmixtapes]

Never thought of the Ken Nordine comparison even though I’m a fan of his. Pretty spot on!

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Waits and nick cave are 2 of my favorites

[@TomFazzini]

Am with you on the Dexter Gordon album - phenomenal, first note to last. So odd, it barely ever got referred to for decades until the recent Tone Poet release, which I could never fathom when so many other excellent BN's were higher profile. Picked up a Direct Metal Mastering copy in the mid eighties in Hull UK, which still sounds good in comparison. Ps. Have a real soft spot for Houses Of The Holy too. Thanks for the posting.

[@lostmixtapes]

Loved the Dexter immediately. Drew me right in. Interesting to hear that it wasn’t really paid attention to for a while.

[@carltwidle9046]

Hi 👋 You mentioned the Pixies and their classic album Doolittle from 1989 , I had that on vinyl that year . I like their music and that album of theirs is their best. I played it alot back then. I had the pleasure of seeing Nick Cave when he fronted the Birthday Party in concert in 1982 here in New Zealand where i live. Great gig and he's an amazing singer and songwriter. I like Tom Waits too, i think his album Blue Valentine is my favorite. I'm into Jazz music and enjoy listening to John Coltrane. I saw Miles Davis in concert in the 1980s, and it was around the time of his Tutu album release. His back up band were very funky. Good top 10.

[@lostmixtapes]

So cool you got to see Miles.

[@AmericanConstellation]

The Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense.

[@lostmixtapes]

I’m excited to see it in the theaters soon.

[@AmericanConstellation]

Buy the DVD.@@lostmixtapes

[@Thedarkstuff]

Great selections. I didn't have a GBV record on my list, despite my love for the band. Alien Lanes is so awesome. I guess because they put out so much music, I haven't been able to focus on any specific album over the last few years. I almost feel like abandoning my quest to stay current with them, and just stay with the 90s when I fell in love with the band initially.

[@lostmixtapes]

Their new one is good. But so was the one before the last one, and the first one of 2021…and on and on. But none of them have much staying power for me. Great band, great lineup, but too factory like with the recordings, although the new one is more organic. I’ll always like the 90s and early 2000s eras the best. They should take two years off making records. Then Pollard can look back at all the songs that he wrote during that time and pick from them to put out a solid 10 song record. Never gonna happen though.

[@casablanca2745]

Enjoyed your takes. Newly subscribed

[@lostmixtapes]

Thank you!

[@Stuck_in_the_70s]

Great selections! Beggars Banquet and Green two of my favourite albums. One flight up is also one of my favourites I play that often I’d say it’s probably my 2nd most played Jazz album, after Jack Johnson. New subscriber take care cheers

[@lostmixtapes]

Which Jack Johnson is your fave?

[@Stuck_in_the_70s]

@@lostmixtapes oh I meant the Miles Davis album (not the Hawaiian singer/songwriter) so check it out if you haven’t heard it. I have the MOFI and it sounds superb.

[@garyolshan4177]

My list. Style Council's Internationalsits. Boston's incredible debut record. XTC English Settlement Orange and Lemons, Skylarking. Kinks Arthur, Thin Lizzy Jailbreak. Who's Next. Stone's Exile on Main Street. Dexter Gordon

[@lostmixtapes]

Cool list. Thanks for sharing.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Todd enjoyed the reasoning for your choices I saw Chris video before anyone responded and thought nice idea . Once Norman did a response I thought other people would be encouraged to jump in which is good . I like the national and that album has some great songs on it but as you mentioned it’s full of guest female Vocals. I saw them perform it live and it didn’t quite work for me they were far better in 2013 .. if I do this it will be mostly uk .. great response 👍

[@lostmixtapes]

Thanks Rob! I could see the National record not working as well live. I might even want to hear Matt do those parts in concert, if he could, just to have a unique take on them. Looking forward to your response if you do one.

[@TheLongCut1]

Putting on Alien Lanes right now. Great picks!

[@lostmixtapes]

Thanks! Great topic you started. Fun to hop on. Wilco would be on here, except there is no one record for me that I keep coming back to. Was Being There. Then Yankee. Then Ghost. Lately it's been a whole lot of Cruel Country. To answer your question...I think CC is their best since SBS for sure, but probably AGIB.

[@435982814]

If On the Beach is your favorite NY album, you should be aware that he originally planned for side one to be side two, and vice versa but, was swayed at the last moment by David Briggs. Young has gone on record stating that in retrospect, he has always regretted switching the two sides. Therefore, whenever I listen to this record, for years, I always start it off with side two. Know what? It’s an even better album when experienced from this perspective. Try it.

[@lostmixtapes]

Wow. I did not know that. Definitely going to give it a try. Will seem strange to not have it end with Ambulance Blues.

[@fitzelectricbar]

Great list! Most are also highlights of mine. Need to bring back Wish You Were Here into my rotation. Animals just missed the cut. Very unique approach to the album reveals.

[@lostmixtapes]

Thanks! What's your take on the remixed Animals vs the original?

[@fitzelectricbar]

@@lostmixtapes strangely, although I bought the remixed Animals recently I haven’t really listened to it enough yet, or specifically compared it to the original.

[@David-Ellis]

Nice video and some great choices. The Dexter Gordon ‘One Flight Up’ is possibly my favourite of the Tone Poet releases 😊 D

[@lostmixtapes]

Thanks. Yeah, the sound is exquisite.

[@TRamone01]

Isbell's latest gets replayed.

[@kevinogracia1615]

Cool choices. And some new stuff {for me) to check out. Peace one earth.

[@judegraham463]

Just to let you know as I'm guessing many others also aren't wiling to listen through 15 minutes just by chance there is an album here I might be interested in hearing your opinion. So if you do anymore, please just jot down which albums your intending on reviewing. Thanks.

[@ashrobinson4604]

I like most of the National records a lot. I Am Easy to Find is excellent. I don’t understand why fans criticize albums that don’t give them what they expect. Let people be creative: it doesn’t always work out, but isn’t this how “beautiful surprises/masterpieces” happen?

[@lostmixtapes]

I totally agree. I hope it doesn't discourage them from taking those kinds of chances again.

[@ashrobinson4604]

@@lostmixtapes I agree also, especially as the latest release was underwhelming (for me). It was still very listenable, just nothing new. Music fans need to temper their disappointment sometimes and let artists explore and evolve. Therein lies the magic and explains why Sandinista is my favourite Clash album.

The neil young ditch trilogy was his best work imo,Dexter Gordon and Coltrane fantastic albums

Yeah, you can’t go wrong with those 3. If Homegrown came out in 1975 would you group it in with the trilogy?

[@adotopp1865]

Yes the 10 albums you have 'listened to' means over all time. The ten you 'listen to' means currently.

Thanks vidéo i love it 😍

I think he means in the past 2 months or so what albums have you listened to the most or he could mean in the last 2 years or so he doesn't mean since you were a kid? 33 seconds of your video.

Nah!! There are loads more albums better than your choices. Aja by Steely Dan is just one. Agree on the Pixies choice though.

For me "The Cringe" lowers the zeppelin album at least a letter grade. unlistenable. On The Beach is one of my favorites however!!
