no scott walker - pathetic

 

[luka]

that was definitely a name that was starting to be dropped again around that time but 1995 maybe a bit early for Mojo.

Big star were great but you picked their most miserable song there. Very beatles indebted so your mileage may vary, but they had their own thing going on too. I think this is lovely (and yes, drippy)

Julian Cope put this out very early

Chelsea is a choice selection. Easily his best song

 

[luka]

Easy peasy

 

[Benny Bunter]

I guess the list was made before the post punk revival. No fall, PiL, Slits...

 

[luka]

1995. That's like, a decade or more previous

 

[Benny Bunter]

I absolutely hate scott walker but the walker brothers had a few bangers

 

[luka]

It's definitely legitimate to hate Scott Walker.

1995. That's like, a decade or more previous

Yeah, I think Simon Reynolds was responsible for it actually

Who the fuck is donald fagen when he's at home?

Who the fuck is donald fagen when he's at home?

He's from steely dan

 

[Benny Bunter]

Oh. I don't get steely dan.

This marks it out as a very very american list. I mean I'd maybe heard of steely dan back in the 90s but had never heard them and didnt know anyone who listened to them.

 

[luka]

It's not music is it.

 

[Benny Bunter]

No, its really not.

I could understand them maybe including one, but three steely dan albums AND the fucking donald fagen solo album is just totally baffling to me

 

[luka]

It's an act of aggression against music.

I can't believe we're discussing a list of rock albums from a 1996 issue of mojo, wtf happened to this place?

It's a good conversation. It's about changing values.

Fagen and Becker named the band after a "revolutionary" steam-powered dildo mentioned in the William S. Burroughs novel Naked Lunch.[17][18][19
