Over in the vinyl sub at the Bad Place, u/Folk_nurse had been doing a Vinyl Tunes for June thing. When the blackout started, I kept adding to my own list each day, and I’d love to carry on with you all. Below is the calendar, I’ll start a thread each day.
The point is just to get us all looking at our physical collections and sharing music.
And seriously… ALL credit and thanks go to folk_nurse. I’m just not headed back there.
Lot of good ones already here. I’ll add this only because I just finished playing this disc:
I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard this album, but this song is frigging awesome. I’ll definitely be giving the album some time this week. Thanks!
Iron Maiden- The Number Of The Beast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxnN05vOuSM
Celldweller - one good reason
This is the same guy who does Scandroid, right?
He does Scandroid, Celldweller, Circle of Dust, FreqGen and sometimes under his own name, Klayton.
I’m personally a fan of “25 or 6 to 4” by Chicago
Incredible song. Timecop 1983- Static https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCwR2k6rImQ
Tommy Tutone- Jenny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WTdTwcmxyo
I wonder what the most well known song with a number in it is…this seems like it would be up there, but probably loses to 1999.
Highway 61 Revisited, an all time great as far as I’m concerned.
Marvel 83’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keg2cbnOqSk
Fun Boy Three - “Our Lips Are Sealed (12-inch)”
Sounding in places like Massive Attack, almost a decade before Massive Attack.EDIT: I’m seeing an expando on the links in other comments but not on mine. I used the link function (chain icon) to post the YouTube video. Does anyone here know how to format the link properly so an expando appears in this comment?
EDIT2: Huh… now the expando is there. Never mind, carry on, etc.
Prince- I Would Die 4 U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkNl3pq1twE
Could just do half of Prince’s discography. 7 would have been a good one too.
Classic. Probably would have been my pick if I had it.
Porcupine Tree - .3, from the album Absentia. And a few tracks have Phase I and Phase II in their titles.
