hi i am trying to branch out and try some new genres of music, and i was wondering what you all thought were the best albums you've ever heard of: *acid rock *acid jazz *world music and, for good measure, what are the best rock records you've ever heard? thanks everyone. i'm way behind on my musical education -the allister
Well, I don't know if it's pure acid rock, but the name fits the music, check out this albums: Liquid sound company - Exploring the psychedelic Colour Haze - Los sounds de krauts Both bands are very inspired by the seventies acid, kraut and space rock and the best thing is that these 2 fabulous bands are making their tripping music in this time. I also would like to recommend some albums of Hawkwind when it comes to acid/space rock. Check out their album Warrior on the edge of time, it's one of my favourites.
I'm not a fan of worl music, and acid jazz isn't really my thing either... I used to always think that acid rock was the same as psychedelic rock... But my favorite albums... Oasis ~ Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory, Heathen Chemistry, and Be Here Now The Velvet Underground ~ White Light/White Heat, VU & Nico, Loaded... I've yet to hear their self-titled Syd Barrett ~ The Madcap Laughs, Barrett Pink Floyd ~ Piper at the Gates of Dawn The Beatles ~ Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, A Hard Day's Night Bob Dylan ~ Bringing it all Back Home, Blonde on Blonde, The Times They Are A-Changin', Highway 61 Revisited, Another Side of Bob Dylan The Stooges ~ The Stooges, Raw Power, Fun House The Beach Boys ~ Pet Sounds, Sunflower, Surf's Up, Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!), Today! The Move ~ SHAZAM, The Move, Message from the Country Amon Düül II ~ Yeti Yoko Ono ~ Fly The Rolling Stones ~ Their Satanic Majesties Request, Some Girls, Exile on Main Street[/i], Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers The Who ~ The Who Sings My Generation Ringo Starr ~ Ringo, Goodnight Vienna, Nico ~ The End, Chelsea Girl, Desertshore The Band ~ The Band, Music from the Big Pink Spearhead ~ Everyone Deserves Music Neil Young ~ Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Harvest, Greendale, On the Beach, Freedom Chuck Berry ~ From St. Louis to Liverpool Love ~ Forever Changes, Love, Da Capo The 13th Floor Elevators ~ The Psychedelic Sounds of..., Easter Everywhere ahaha... what was this thread even about.... wtf.. im gonna go play guitar now
as far as "world music" goes, check out Radio Tarifa...they are from Spain but combine lots of middle- eastern instruments with Flamenco...really good moody stuff
I think you should listen to a shit-load of Radiohead. Albums- Kid A, The Bends. I cant remember the others.
Yeah, acid rock is another name for psychedelic rock. "World music" is a misnomer, since there's no single "music of the world"-- try specific countries/regions/cultures instead. My favorite world musics are Sundanese gamelan, Haitian vodou drumming, North Indian raga, and Tuvan & Tibetan overtone singing. If you want world fusion, try Don Cherry (as Relayer suggests), Art Ensemble of Chicago, Oregon, Codona (Don Cherry, Colin Walcott & Nana Vasconcelos), or any of Mickey Hart's solo albums. Hmm yeah, Dead Can Dance, forgot about them...

I've tried ALL Genre's from Old School COUNTRY, to FOLK, all the way to Rap. I can only give you THIS advice. Stay AWAY from the "Top Ten" lists. Get the REAL feel for an artist. Not the public one.
