Vinyl Community: Favourite Albums Chosen By Some Of My Favourite Artists

[@gregshelt1187]

Excellent and interesting video.......Well done!!!

[@Harrispilton22]

Glad you enjoyed it Greg, I’m trying to come up with different ideas...& struggling badly 😂

[@Paneeks1960]

Good evening Harris. I was looking forward to your next video. Bang. The perfect intro to my Saturday evening VC video viewing. First off. Its crazy that you held up Green when you were talking about Kurt's 50 Favorite Albums. I was just spinning Green a few days ago. I would not put it in my top fifty favorite albums. But I do like it a lot. I remember him choosing Aerosmith's 'Rocks'. I can see why he choose it. I only saw Nirvana live once. It was at a local alternative radio station WFNX's eight birthday party. My co-worker sang in a band called Bullet LaVolta. They were the first on the bill that evening. Smashing Pumpkins went on before Nirvana. Kurt wasted no time going in the crowd. After the third or fourth song he stage dived into the packed full house crowd at Axis in Boston. Didn't he also choose The Shaggs album as one of his faves? Hmm... Con't Rob/Boston

[@shaunspins]

Great video, Cobain also loved the Raincoats. I have heard that some of Hendrix’s records are in the museum flat around your way. I one time got to see sone of Jackson Pollocks records. It is an interesting experience to be around someones guitar, books or records. A lot of soul and personality with in them.

[@Harrispilton22]

Hey Shaun, yes I used to pore over that Cobain Top 50. Clearly liked the artier side of Hardcore. Loved the Buttholes. His list switched me onto Saccharine Trust & ‘Gone Fishin’ by Flipper, which I’ve always loved.

[@andrewodonnell5058]

Great video .very enjoyable mate .didn’t know Chet baker played on shipbuilding wow .love knowing things like that thank you👏👏👏

[@Harrispilton22]

Yeah, I think Chet was on his last legs at the point, I believe he had no teeth left too! , but it’s a beautiful solo. I love both versions tbh, but Wyatt’s pips it for me. Thanks for watching, appreciate it.

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

Missed this video until just now. 😴 I love 'Green', and saw them on that tour. They were fantastic. But I gave my vinyl copy away to my brother and held on to the CD instead. Bloody fool that I am. You should chase down the vinyl version of 'Sketches For My Sweetheart'. Listening to it now - it's amazing. I'd love 'VU' on vinyl. Fine album - 'Temptation Inside Your Heart' is brilliant. Oh, and early Bee Gees and even ABBA too. Awesome. 👏 And 'Surf's Up' is my fave too.

[@baggyhi-fi8628]

You’ve hit on something here. We do love hearing what musicians like listening to. Jimi Hendrix’s choices were interesting. I do remember Shipbuilding cropping up again and again in Rebellious Jukebox along with the perennial Velvet Underground. Very entertaining!

[@Harrispilton22]

Thanks! Tbh, I wished i’d planned this a bit more, but I thought it would be better to choose more household names, rather than the favourite records of Stephen Pastel! I’ve been Googling those Rebellious Jukebox articles & it’s fascinating pre-Internet/streaming how safe people’s choices now appear. Odyssey & Oracle appears to have been quite an exotic record back in 93..which it possibly was I guess? Big Star,Stooges..almost household names now, but everyone was picking them as oddball choices back then!

[@baggyhi-fi8628]

There are certain vintage records which only seemed to have been rediscovered and name checked in the 90s or later. Odyssey and Oracle is one and so is Bee Gees 1st.

[@Harrispilton22]

@@baggyhi-fi8628 Yes! This has set me off on an idea for a video. Has streaming destroyed music? I’ve been talking to myself for the last five minutes about it 😂 I’ve already got about 6 wacky theories including ‘ The albums format has always been rubbish!’ I’m going to attempt a video next week.

I’m sure your a little choked up right now. I love lists to and also analyze pictures of people surrounded by records. Lol. Too funny, it is a collector obsession. I use to have that 1001 book in both music and books and was working on it. Since the flood I said screw it lol. New Da Rising is King of Husker Du. Wilson has a boring list lol.

[@mariawesley7583]

Always enjoy your videos! As a teen i would discover bands by reading about bands i already liked. While reading a Duran Duran interview they listed bands that inspired them. Thats how i learned about Roxy Music. Of course that led to Bryan Ferry and Bryan Eno's solo work. Now if im talking to someone about music i always ask for a rec. That led me to Elliott Smith. Always an enjoyable hunt.

[@Harrispilton22]

Hey Maria ,thanks & likewise! (Although my comments often disappear on yours, KZbin seems to think I’m a robot 😂. Yes that exactly how I discovered music Jesus & Mary Chain>Velvet Underground>Stooges>MC5>Mudhoney..it just went on..totally relied on the U.K. weekly music press, which was brilliant..I loved Elliot Smith..’Between The Bars ❤

[@retromusings]

Will look into The Raincoats and Husker Du albums . Love the Sly album cover!

[@Harrispilton22]

Hello! The Raincots is a strange one. Quite shambolic the band literally couldn’t play their instruments until deciding to form a band. Very interesting Kurt Cobain was obsessed by them too. If your not familiar with Husker Du the album ‘Flip Your Wig’ is a good starting point. A real mixture of distorted guitars and almost Beatles like melodies. Zen Arcade is their more Hardcore album...but if you like hardcore punk that’s good as well! Try the song ‘Pink Turns To Blue’ it’s fantastically catchy!

[@fitzelectricbar]

Hey Harris, Great idea for a vid and very well executed. I also love the VU record and Foggy Notion is one of my favourites of theirs. Mo’s metronomic drumming is incredible. For Your Pleasure would battle Country Life for my favourite Roxy Music record. You crack me up, while also providing some music education. Cheers!

[@Harrispilton22]

Hey Fitz! Cheers appreciate it. Yeah Mo suddenly had a style. Foggy Notion is a killer. Country Life is fantastic too. That’s got ‘Mother Of Pearl’ on it right? Which is probably my favourite Roxy track Glad you enjoyed the video..tbh after collecting 40 years & a library of about 400 music books...this is all I know! Much to the detriment of the rest of my life .I found myself at work today having an intense conversation about my favourite Whitney Houston song! I’m beyond help! 😂

Cheers Rob, it’s a really nice stream, I tend to watch it on catch up Saturday mornings! I love it when Mike Rice pops in just before starting his paper round! Yeah ‘Friends’ is a really lovely listen, in a way I prefer it to Pet Sounds because I can listen through to it in one go without skipping anything. I think lots of the post punk crowd liked ABBA, Elvis Costello based the Piano of Oliver’s Army from Dancing Queen. Cheers Rob appreciate it.

Hi there, new to your channel Harris and just subscribed! First off, that is a fantastic T shirt! I have an original Canadian pressing of that VU record from the 80s. The first few BEE GEEs records are outstanding, and I have those as well. That Abba Vol. II is the only one by them in my collection.

[@Harrispilton22]

Mike! Hello fellah, I think I’ve been a subscriber of yours for about 2 years 😆 Always enjoy your content. Yeah that Bee Gees is fantastic..I like ‘Main Course’ as well.sort of pre-disco..post psyche! Cheers that T-Shirt is a few years old now..thanks for the Sub Mike..subbed back ...in 2021! 😆

[@MGKBOSTON]

@@Harrispilton22 So many channels! By the way, I have that Hayes album on your shirt and a few of his others. Great stuff!

[@ricefieldrecords]

Indeed. That's what I zero in on as well. So many photos of artists at home with their records. You mentioned Jimi Hendrix. There's one of Frank Sinatra, Steve McQueen and countless others. What were they listening too? How were they affected by it. It goes right into our psyche that at moment. What did the great artists listen to? Great starting point and great premise for a video. Always the original, Harris.

[@Harrispilton22]

Hey Micheal. Thanks. Yes fascinating stuff.I’m not supper whether women are the same, but men just seem obsessed by lists. There’s a great photo of Robert Plant in about 88 sitting with his record collection including The Replacements & Fishbone, so his finger was still well on the pulse at that time.

[@Paneeks1960]

Comment Two of Two: Ah yes. Sparks 'KMH'. Stoked that you choose Morrissey as one of your favorite artists. The Chairman Of Chuckles. Brilliant Harris. Just brilliant. I am still a little bit confused about the two completed and ready for release albums Bonfire of Teenagers and Without Music The World Dies. I cannot believe that there is not one label that is willing to backup The Divine Mr. M. I appreciate you talking about the popularity of the VU in England and among some of the British artists. I cannot say the same for this country. It seemed like they were not talked about music here and were never played on terrestrial radio in the seventies, eighties and nineties. >< I thought that the Dave Grohl comment was hilarious. As a fellow music geek I would have reacted the same way that you did Harris. I was laughing when you counted the number of discs in Zen Arcade. I should have taken out my copy and counted them with you. {smile} Yes. There are only two. There has never been three as far as I know. Do you think that his quote was a typo? This was an informative smile from the 00:01 to 17:47. I enjoyed it thoroughly. One of your finest HP~ Rob/Boston

[@Harrispilton22]

Hi Rob, what a lovely response. The Morrissey situation is odd, but must be music business politics, as he has a hardcore set of fans that will always guarantee healthy sales. The songs I’ve heard on KZbin are some of his strongest for years. Yes I suspect the Dave Grohl quote is a misprint! I was actually thinking of you when I did this as there is a great photo of Robert Plant in the mid eighties with records all around him including The Replacements ‘Let It Be’ and an album by Fishbone. His favourite eighties album was ‘We Care A Lot’ by Faith No More! I used to love that song. Thanks as ever Rob, hope all is well..still raining sideways here! 😂

@@Harrispilton22 Blimey HP, really? That makes me pretty bloody sad mate. You have the most entertaining, enlightening and amusing channel on the whole tube. And no, I haven’t been drinking 😀 Some people have no taste mate. In Every Dream Home is one of Mrs B’s favourites as well. I love that one, Amazona, Mother of Pearl, Grey Lagoons, actually anything dissonant and dynamic (which is most early Roxy stuff) as for that matter is the Planets Suite, another favourite of mine, I was well dumbstruck to see that in the list. Hope things look a lot more positive for you soon, and look forward to my lot (Birmingham) taking on your lot soon, at least then your luck is sure to be in! 🤣 Take care bud.

[@SteviesVinylCupboard]

Harris, I think you would be great on RTOs Last of the Summer Wine stream. Just remember the elasticated chinos, get on it. I would have to go for BBs Don't Worry Baby just for the opening lyric. Karaoke Party Fears Two is the ultimate challenge, and the ultimate embarrassment after a few drinks. But I always think of the Cures Cut Here whenever its mentioned. Cheers for your comments 👍

[@Harrispilton22]

Hi Stevie. I’m not really a live stream person..more a voyeur! & Thursdays are cricket night, so it’s nice to chill out & watch that stream over the weekend. Great bunch on there, always enjoy your ‘Bus Break’. I’m thinking of clipping those into a compilation! 😂 I don’t know ‘Cut’ but have started listening to Kiss Me x3 a lot recently. That’s such an underrated album. ‘Like Cockatoos’ is marvellous!

[@SteviesVinylCupboard]

​ @Harrispilton22 Voyeur? 🤔 well I guess we cant stand in the way of a mans cricket. Glad that Bus Break section is finally getting the credit it deserves. I am sure it boosts the ratings with people wondering if the bus will be on time or not! I think Cut Here was a song he wrote about the regret of not meeting up more with Billy Mackenzie following his suicide etc. I have a large space where Cure albums should be!!

[@martinsvinyl1985]

Hey Harris loved the video, as I was watching I couldn’t help but think of others music/artists you had mentioned they also had liked. For example Jimi Hendrix was massive fan of both billy gibbons and Rory Gallagher, one of David Bowies favourite bands was ‘Fanny’, you mentioned little Richard being a great inspiration to some of the greats, Chuck berry had the same effect, Angus Young was a massive fan and copied his step over routine. Great video 👍

[@Harrispilton22]

Hi Martin, yeah it was interesting doing a bit of research for this one. Good call with Angus Young’s ‘Duckwalk’ Billy Gibbons was a great guitarist, think he started in The Moving Sidewalks?, I’ve got a great single of there’s on a comp. Cheers Martin appreciate it.

[@EmbryonicRobot]

Interesting idea for a video. I'm always interesting in what musicians are listening to. Ian picked ABBA? Maybe I need to reevaluate, or not . . . 😔

[@Harrispilton22]

Cheers Brian. There was that thing in the 70’s where Abba became so huge in Europe for about 6 years, it was quite trendy for punks to mention them. I know Elvis Costello based the piano of Oliver’s Army on ‘Dancing Queen’ I only like the singles really, but it would be a hard heart that didn’t appreciate the majesty of SOS, Knowing Me, Knowing You or Gimme,Gimme,Gimme 😊

[@mistery-ed7900]

Maybe Dave was so blown away by Husker Du's cover of Eight Miles High he thought it was a third album. Just guessing. I was one of the few who actually loved the Velvets in the 60s. They say that everyone who bought (well, I stole) the first album went on to form a band. Maybe I didn't since I didn't buy it.

[@Harrispilton22]

That’s Karma Ed, if you’d paid for that record I’d probably be showing albums by The Mistery Ed Quintet’ in my videos..but alas the secret ingredient was crime! 😂 Cheers Ed, appreciate it!

[@Ed-Topo-108]

Great video/ topic Harris! Prince definitely referenced Joni (Help Me) in his Ballad of Dorothy Parker. Pretty sure he covered A Case Of You too. Always remember an interview with Miles Davis in the 80’s in Downbeat magazine where the journalist gets let into Miles’ pad and he was in another room practicing to a Bananarama song! Am sure I’ve heard him quote the “Robert De Niro’s waiting” melody on a live solo.

[@Harrispilton22]

Hi Ed, just picked up ‘Southern Freeze’ & Oliver Cheetham 12”!! ‘Get down Saturday’ Interesting you mention Miles, he was obsessed by The Beastie Boys ‘Paul’s Boutique’ Yes you can se why Prince liked that Jonie album, good spots by you!

Hi Harris - Billy MacKenzie & The Associates spent plenty of Warners money on Sulk & it's follow-up , Perhaps. No is an incredible vocal track by Billy that Bjork was set to cover only to be derailed when he offed himself. I had a crush on keyboard player Martha Ladly who had been in Martha & The Muffins. Check out video for White Car In Germany video for explanation. Both the Roxy & Jeff Buckley are often cited & both are brilliant. Killing Joke get much love from contemporary musicians as do American trio Kings X. Gotta go listen to Sulk & Bap De La Bap !!

[@Harrispilton22]

Hi David, yes I love ‘White Car In Germany’ I’ve got the Billy Mackenzie biography, which is hilarious & heartbreaking in equal measure. He was obsessed by his dogs & charged about quarter of a million to his expense account for dog food 😆 I’ve started listening to the Jeff Buckley album again after a 20 year break, it’s actually fantastic, I can see why Mozza was a fan, he tends to like that operatic video cal style, he also chose The Smoking Popes album??? although I do love their single ‘Need You Around’

Great stuff here, Harris. Sparks had heard that Mozza was a big fan and in recognition tipped their hats with tongue-in-cheek song "Lighten Up, Morrissey" from their 2008 album Exotic Creatures Of The Deep. Do check out the official vid for this on KZbin and look up the lyrics - brilliant.

[@Harrispilton22]

Thanks Richard will check that Sparks track out! Coincidentally ‘William It was Really Nothing’ by the Smiths was about Billy McKenzie of the Associates ..& they answered him with a song called ‘Stephen It was really something’ Morrissey seems to inspire this sort of thing!

Nice. I actually have that VU record - the ONLY one I have on vinyl. Of course, my favourite LP is the last one, which I'm told is an unpopular opinion. Not as unpopular as "John Cale goes on waaaaayyyy too much, and often ruins the songs he's on", but definitely unpopular. Enjoyed the video! Quite a few records I hadn't seen before. If I wasn't already in an overbought condition, I'd probably crack the Discogs right now. Cheers! 😁

Now then! I'm always a bit sus with photographs of musicians surrounded by influential records, especially Mr McCulloch, less so Jimi. It's like a politician's carefully curated bookshelf behind them for a Zoom interview on Newsnight. I actually revisited R.E.M.'s Green yesterday, and was reminded what a cracking record it is. Yes, Stand is a bit twee, but they manage to bring their indie sound and mix it with some corporate stadium shenanigans. I also had Tourfilm on video, yup it was cracking. The version of King of Birds from Document knocked my socks off. I always like the musicians who are not so worried about maintaining their image, and list records by the likes of Slim Whitman and Brenda Lee in their lists. Hed

Again love the Black Moses T shirt. Didn't realise Moz was a fan of Sparks. I still need to find a copy of that Raincoats, been a favourite of mine for a long time. Yeah In Every Dream Home a Heartache is probably their best track. Yeah Forces of Victory is stellar and had no idea Bowie was a big fan. That Little RIchard must have been a nice Oxfam find. Yeah I'm always surprised how different (and great) the early Bee Gees is. I think Grohl needs to enter his elusive 3XLP Husker Du on Discogs. Men Pushing Fridges Downstairs actually sounds like a very good avantgarde record. Yeah The Jungle Line is funky as shit so not surprising Prince would go for that when you think about it. Love that Associates cover art.

[@Harrispilton22]

Hi Dan, love ‘In Every Dream Home’, Maybe just pipped by ‘Mother Of Pearl’ on the next album. That’s a s song with a weird beginning, but then just becomes sublime!

Great video idea! And well done. I like that VU record too. I didnt know the story behind that. Think I had it on CD during university years. Never see it over on wax. Kurt cobain liked REM? So odd.

My Bowie impersonation is just the same, think flight of the conchords song 'Bowie's in space'. Oh Dave the Grohlmeister the dozy twonk being a drummer he should be able to count to three at least..... Nice idea. The VC is getting more creative and intellectual these days, we'll be on the south bank show next....

[@Harrispilton22]

I have every intention of stifling any signs of creativity or intelligence! 😂

Harris I hear your cry for help & I'm here for you brother. I feel Ian McCulloch even though I'm sure he loves all of those records, that his photo is incredibly staged. Those perfect records that display the ultimate in cred & taste, just happened to be lying around when the photographer turned up 😂The chairman of chuckles 🤣I am on a quest to own every Sparks studio album (5 to go) and The Fall's studio albums (3 to go).That VU record is brilliant. John Lydon has some great fav records. As if I couldn't dig Bowie any more and he picks LKJ. So very cool! Of course Hendrix would have Little Richard. He played with him and got kicked out, because Little Richard said that only himself could be the pretty one in his band 😂 Harris oh Harris how I hate Abba. I feel like I'm the only one in the VC. Surely anyone who grew up in Australia at that time would agree with me that it's syrupy Eurovision cheese. Brian Wilson, that's how far ahead of us he is. He picks Beach Boy albums where he took a back seat & Carl took over the reigns. Sly Stone, yep I've always associated Eno with being a total funkmeister. Why does it not surprise me that Prince only really listens to his own stuff. Well he has a point. They're not bad records. Nice stuff mate. Cheers...Ben

[@Harrispilton22]

Ha, ha I’m not that keen on ABBA tbh!..just the greatest hits! Many of which appear to have accrued in my collection. Yeah I guessed that photo was staged, ind you I used to do the same whenever a girl came round, move the cool Miles Davis to the front..try & look intellectual! There’s a lot of Fall albums!, I think they are reissue a few of the nineties ones soon, that was a good period for the band, so may pick up one of those. Yeah I loved those Brian Wilson picks, pretty unexpected, both my favourites of the middle period bar ‘Surfs Up’. Yeah Lydon was really into his dance too, cut great tracks with Bambaata & Leftfield. I forgot Hendrix played with Little Richard. Cheers Ben, just finished watching another awesome day of Ashes cricket...unfortunately rain is set in for the next 4 days!

[@benrankins4446]

@@Harrispilton22 That Lydon Leftfield track is a banger! Rain is to our advantage mate 👍 If only Warner wasn't in the Aus team...what a knob!

[@markmclaren7577]

I'm with you when it come to abba greatest hit their singles were great

[@Harrispilton22]

Great singles band Mark. I’m not sure why I say some of those comments mps are better than the other...I think they all contain the same tracks! 😆

[@thewavingbear]

I read somewhere that Prince didn’t like listening to music styles that he felt he fully understood and had mastered himself, instead he preferred people to play him records by artists he didn’t understand. Apparently one of his favourite artists in this realm was the Cocteau twins.

[@Harrispilton22]

You are spot on.Prince did like the Cocteau Twins..& funnily enough The Sunday’s..I was going to show a Cocteau Twins record but I’ve only got 12” singles & I wanted to stick to albums for this video. Cheers for watching appreciate it 😊

Lemmy was a Nazi!! Should I smash my Little Richard records up now? Oddly I do have one on 78, I kept it as it is so 'symbolic' of the emergence of pop-soul music. Plus for some reason I find his 'crazy' voice oddly appealing at times. He does seem to embody the hedonism of the phenomenon. Beach Boys works well at 5.30am, when I'm usually fast asleep. Eno didn't pick 10 Gospel 45's isn't that pretty much all he listens to? Odd Prince, whose muzak I loathe, listened to such a gorgeous Lp as Mitchell's potentially finest moment. Good idea for a video Harris, you growing a beard, to look like a real man?

[@Harrispilton22]

I heard Lemmy just liked the designs! I imagine Eno’s list is in a constant state of flux, he’s one of those hipsters. Wow that’s two albums in two videos where I’ve shown an album you like Mike? Must look to address this. I used the IPad facial hair app in this video just as an experiment. Looks like it’s worked. I’m using the app that guarantees ‘Contour shifting hillocks’ next. That should guarantee me a subscriber surge.

@@Harrispilton22 He liked prancing around in SS uniforms, I assume he was a psychopath. You might get a 'surge' if you did these naked, albeit a niche appeal, if you do contour your bullocks first. As to Ponce, I'm often puzzled why people who make muzak without any obvious or discernible value claim to have found this in sounds that appears to contain some. I'm no expert on Eno's favourites, but he has claimed he mainly listens to 'black' gospel songs. Which at the risk of annoying a few opera buffs might be the zenith of sound, or some are.
