January Challenge - The Music Awakens…

[Poly-Rythmo]

January 8: Anakin/Vader

Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story

Growing up in the 90s, I kind of thought Stewart was a joke. Until I discovered albums like this and the Faces...

January 8: Anakin/Vader - Play an artist that changed (persona, genres or some other thing that made you view them differently)

Sigh.

January 6: Dagobah Meditations – Let’s chill with a calm, introspective album, appropriate for a Jedi’s reflection

Brian Eno - Reflection

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Day 8: Anakin/Vader

Chicago - IX: Chicago’s Greatest Hits ‘69-‘74



Originally a jazz-rock band that gradually started heading toward a soft-rock sound in the mid-‘70s and would go full AC lite rock in the 80s.

January 7: Luke, I am your father - Darth Vader never says, “Luke, I am your father.” In actuality, he says, “No, I am your father.” Play something you misheard or misquoted.


"It's such a feeling that, my love, I get high"
is actually
"It's such a feeling that my love, I can't hide"

Day 05: Rise of the Sith
Give me something dark, powerful and menacing

Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights

I think I read somewhere that “Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down” was playing on repeat in Darth Vader’s helmet throughout much of the original trilogy… don’t quote me on that though.

Day 06: Dagobah Meditations
Let’s chill with a calm, introspective album, appropriate for a Jedi’s reflection

The Books - Thought For Food

This album is enjoyable and relaxed. It’s rewarding regardless of deep you are listening.

Day 07: Luke, I am your father
Darth Vader never says, “Luke, I am your father.” In actuality, he says, “No, I am your father.” Play something you misheard or misquoted.

Elton John - Madman Across The Water

It feels more like a modern myth than something that was oft misheard but the story for a while has been that the chorus of “Tiny Dancer” was at least misheard by someone at some point as “”Hold Me Closer Tony Danza…”.

Day 08: Anakin/Vader
Play an artist that changed (persona, genres or some other thing that made you view them differently)

The Men - Drift

While they don’t shift styles with the same frequency and aren’t nearly as prolific as the chameleon like King Gizz, I could play 3 different albums from The Men and they would sound like different bands entirely, on one record they sound like a contemporary of early 80s Sonic Youth, while on another they sound like they could have opened for Tom Petty and and the Heartbreakers or fit in seamless on a mix tape featuring The Stooges. Here they sound like they have been spending a bit of time with The Velvet Underground & Nico. Regardless of the style, the execution is flawless and the music is brilliant.

Oh no. This is bringing up memories of taking my high school girlfriend to see the Peter Cetera-era smoooooooooth Chicago.

I don't think I've ever actually misheard it as that, but I definitely mis-sing it as that all the time!

January 9: Jabba’s Sail Barge – We’re on a boat!

Steely Dan - Gaucho

Somebody say yacht rock?! Damn, this disc sounds good through my new amp.
