Hey, I’m just not one to let a week pass without buying a new CD. I have my excuse: I write music, I need to study it, right? UT doesn’t offer any courses on the music of Richard James (AFX, the Aphex Twin, Polygon Window, or whatever else he calls himself these days), the Pet Shop Boys, or Phish, so I’m forced out on my own. So what do I listen to? Read below. This is by no means a list of all good music out there, but it’s a good start. :-)
I’m not going to go through all of these groups looking for good links to sites about them (sorry). If you’re curious, though, check the Ultimate Band List or just use Yahoo!… They’re about the same in quality, one just tries to be a little hipper about it (guess which).
These are all LPs unless otherwise noted and albums by a single group or person are arranged roughly chronologically from earliest to latest.
