Oh, Complain, you live up to your name. Credit you for upping his discography for me, much kowtows and kudos deserved...<virtual bows to Groucho avatar>

But I knew of him way before SOMB--I liked his stuff only on the strength of accidentally hearing TWO SONGS, but had no idea where in the hell I could find it.

Couldn't resist. I still think Diesel should check out the Chagall Guevara disc - a lot of it reminds me of Bob Mould sonically.

Tell me more about Disco Inferno

[Sid Hartha]

so many, but this one just popped into my brain:

Some of the greatest things ever. Including: Ricardo Villalobos Disco Inferno BBQ / King Khan

[mouthbreather]

so many, but this one just popped into my brain:

Ditto. That was a great find too.

There must be many more...

[mouthbreather]

A few that come to mind: Flower Travellin' Band Exploding Hearts Jay Reatard Burzum Earth Hanoi Rocks Sparks My appreciation was deepened / renewed for: Kinks (Elc) Springsteen, rockabilly, old r&b / soul (norton) Petty - deep cuts, late period Rush (bobandbob) Sid Hartha has turned me on to many obscurities like Love Sculpture, Q'65, Outrageous Cherry... and furthered my Pollard obsession with his many side projects. I'm always curious about what Bobzilla, Paves, Sask, Avec, held, simakos, ryan, mitch, rob gordon, aftershock, huckle, dicorice... and several others are listening to.

I suspect irony in the entire list.

There have been a lot, but the biggest for me is probably New Order. I went from only knowing "Blue Monday" to loving pretty much every track on Substance.

i'm a tastemaker. i've learned of nothing while posting on here.

Yesterday I was just thinking about how back in 2004 (2005?) everyone on the Internet was obsessed with Gang of Four and how nobody even mentions them today. I still have a CD of Entertainment! on my shelf that I probably haven't played since I moved in here.

I doubt I would have purchased it if I wasn't spending so much time here back then.

mistake.

[Saskadelphia]

Two others for me are Wire and Eyehategod. Oh, and LCD Soundsystem, the somb got me into DFA, big time.

[The Luscious Phil]

Looking back, I think the artist that I can say I love that is 100% because of the SOMBies is M. Ward. And while I would hardly say that SOMB has turned me on to The Replacements, but I think the first time I really really listened to Let it Be was because of the 80's poll.

[Chicken Invaders!]

OK, well today I have this board to thank for Flipper. Generic Flipper, to be exact, and "Sex Bomb" to be even more so. I don't know where this song has been all my life, but it's here now, and I feel good. Wow.

[Pavement Ist Rad]

"Ever," "Life," "(I Saw You) Shine," all that shit... Flipper is my emo.

Those albums are being reissued! CDs this month! Vinyl at a later date! YES!!!

Arthur Russell! Seriously, so many great 'artists' are in my life thanks to you guys. You rule, etc.
