Corpsey
bandz ahoy
I've always written off YES because I got into punk once upon a time and considered all prog the enemy - but a few YES songs have come up on my shuffle and I actually liked them quite a lot
This brings up one of the biggest gaps in my musical knowledge - PINK FLOYD
Never heard them beyond uhhh maybe 'Brick in the Wall'? What I've heard hasn't made me want to hear more, but I know they're this totemic thing in music so I probably should get around to it. My big discovery this year was that 'Pet Sounds' by The Beach Boys is actually brilliant, just like MOJO said it was.

Dark Side and Wish you were here are the ones. Dark Side perhaps needs to be heard in the callow stages of life and is difficult to listen to due to the weight of cliche built up since, but it's still an amazing record. Wish is far more clinical robo prog with a tiny beating heart at its core, but there is still some heart.
I have a soft spot for meddle which I cant justify.
The cognoscenti will tell you to stick to the early LP's, but apart from some quirky 60's pop and aimless proto prog they arent that great.

If you still have these, and the tracks are their later stuff, fair enough. But if these mp3s include "Carnage", "Beginning of the End" and/or "Sanctuary" you need to play them at airplane jet-volume. Probably while poking a rotting goat's eyeballs out and pondering the atrocity of everyday life.
Droid's wrong about early Floyd being crap (though a few songs were twee as hell), but dead right about Dark Side. Even if you can't take it seriously, or find it overblown and pompous, it's still really enjoyable and sounds like nothing else. Avoid the 'Wizard of Oz film comparison' brigade, the actual contents are far weirder and darker than their boring conspiracy theory.

I saw Strawberry Switchblade play on an all day bill at the Palais - Thee Fabulous Feast Ov Flowering Light - run by Psychic TV and all their offshoots/acolytes. They were doing sort of pop music but were a bit too arch/knowing to be convincing. I remember The Virgin Prunes stole the show but there was an early performance by Bjork in Kukl which i managed to miss.

I think Kathy Acker was there - people from Coil obvs, plus all sorts of odd looking sorts making a dreadful racket whilst GOP went around grinning at it all.

The Republican party were in attendance at a Psychic TV all-dayer with Kathy Acker and Strawberry Switchblade?
