Recommend an album to the poster above Given the vast knowledge of the org, I thought a venture like this may be a good idea. My initial thought was to have posters list all of the albums they have from their birth year and have the poster below recommend them a different album from that year. However, the rules don't have to be that fixed- I suppose you can just pick any year for which you'd like a recommendation.
I'll start, and I will go with the birthyear format.
I was born in 1980, and it also happens to be one of my favorite years for music. Here are the albums I already own from 1980:
Blondie - Autoamerican Change - The Glow of Love David Bowie - Scary Monsters Echo and the Bunnymen - Crocodiles Gap Band - III Gary Numan - Telekon Grace Jones - Warm Leatherette Joan Jett - Bad Reputation Joy Division - Closer Kano - Kano Killing Joke - Killing Joke Lou Reed - Growing Up in Public Magazine - The Correct Use of Soap Mtume - In Search of the Rainbow Seekers OMD - Organisation Pretenders - Pretenders Prince - Dirty Mind Roxy Music - Flesh + Blood Siouxsie and the Banshees - Kaleidoscope Talking Heads - Remain in Light Tantra - Double Album The Associates - The Affectionate Punch The Cure - Seventeen Seconds The Human League - Travelogue The Sound - Jeopardy Ultravox - Vienna X - Los Angeles Zapp - Zapp
What would you recommend?

Can't recommend anything worthy to sit beside them. If you like some Gram Parsons or Johnny Cash then there was Emmylou Harris' Roses in the Snow, but it's a bit of a stretch if not. | |

Based on your taste here, the one glaring omission I think is Bauhaus' In The Flat Field.
It's their best album in my opinion and is a great companion to Closer, Kaleidoscope and 17 Seconds.
edit: Assuming of course that you want to take that step from quasi-goth to real goth. [Edited 1/5/11 12:34pm] | |

Jane Birkin/Serge Gainsbourg - Jane Birkin/Serge Gainsbourg Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I Laura Nyro - New York Tendaberry The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis The Stooges - The Stooges The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground
Going by what I like above, what album from that year should I buy next? | |

461 Ocean Blvd--Eric Clapton (his great comeback LP) Chicago VII--Chicago Can't Get Enough--Berry White Fear--John Cale Fullingness' First Finale --Stevie Wonder Fire--Ohio Players Dark Horse -- George Harrison Diamond Dogs -- David Bowie Dedication -- Herbie Hancock The End -- Nico Interstellar Space -- John Coltrane Let Me In Your Life -- Aretha Franklin Natty Dred -- Bob Marley and The Wailers Nightlife --Thin Lizzy Never Can Say Goodbye --Gloria Gaynor Too Much Too soon --NY Dolls This is Augustus Pablo--Agusrus Pablo and others
My fav band The Who were on tour then in support of "Quadrophenia" | |

If you like Stevie and Aretha then the 1974 album I'd recommend first to you is Shuggie Otis' Inspiration Information.

I know you have a thing for chick vocalists, so I'll go with Nico's The Marble Index. It is VERY freaky, as well! Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

I see you have a little glam in there, so I'd recommend Kimono My House by Sparks. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

I should have put that album on my list since I ordered a cheap copy from Amazon last week. It should arrive in my mailbox any day now. | |

OK, then the only other album I can recommend is my favorite from 1969. I'm not sure it's your taste, as it has a male vocalist who goes way off key sometimes, but his presence is still awesome, and the music is one of the greatest mindwarps I've ever experienced: Can - Monster Movie.

That one I will try. Another orger burned me a copy of Future Days which I thought was great, but never heard anything else by them. Thanks! | |

It's very, very different to Future Days, but still classic! Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

I recommend any album by Betty Davis to everybody. I'm just saying... | |

The Doors: The Soft Parade
They are definitely an acquired taste (especially their later albums) but their discography is a must IMO!   She has robes and she has monkeys, lazy diamond studded flunkies.... | |

War: War Live
An awesome live double album. She has robes and she has monkeys, lazy diamond studded flunkies.... | |

1986 Housemartins "London 0 Hull 4" Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |
