Daydream Nation is a timeless album.

>1980 or earlier

>>69228905
There are moments on this that sound like post-hardcore or post-rock it's amazing

>>69228805
Well, half of it did.

>>69228938
I thought you were talking about 80s. Sorry.

That aged like already spoiled milk

>>69229081
It really didn't.

Noise rock bands are doing today what Sonic Youth was doing during the 80s.
A lot of bands from last decade was using the same guitar tune that Sonic Youth used during 80s.

The vocal harmonies and instrumentation are on par with anything Fleet Foxes can produce.

My other suggestion. Townes' songwriting and guitar playing remain as poignant as ever.

>>69229159
I feel like I could listen to this in 50 years and it would still be great.

We still have to catch up to this album.

>>69228805
I think Neil Young fans underrate this album, there are so many great songs. I love Words in particular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN53WZjCL_g

>>69229998
wow thats literally a prog rock song

It took me a long time to figure out what's wrong with Harvest, which is that the tempos are so fucking dull. This problem is most apparent on Out on the Weekend and Harvest, but it also pervades Are You Ready for the Country, There's a World, Old Man, Alabama. Now, these are all good songs (Alabama excepted), but listen to the ones he repeats on the Massey Hall album and you'll see what I mean. Also you get to hear Heart of Gold as a sea shanty.

>>69229998
I think everyone agrees it's a great album, it's just sort of entry level for him, has his biggest radio hits and is very popular.

>>69230136
whats wrong with alabama?

>>69230183
It's just sluggish and I especially don't think the chorus sounds good. I don't hate it, but if the album has a lowlight it's that.

>>69229159
It's still alright but it doesn't hold up near as well as anything from the Bill Bruford lineup. Lark's Tongues sounds not just out of time, but otherworldly, aside from "Easy Money" at least.

>>69230272
you got problems mate. alabama's chorus is one of the best on the album

>>69230297
Check the reply again sonny, I was talking about King Crimson not Neil. Almost everything Neil did up until like Live Rust is still great anyways

Islands sounds even more out of nowhere. Any band but King Crimson that would be one of their best albums. My *only* issue with LTIA is the recording quality isn't on par with some of their other, earlier releases, and fripp's guitar tone sounds slightly "off" at times. I completely understand what you mean however.

ITCOTCK definitely still holds up though, as I started re-listening to it recently, and there isn't really a "wasted" second of that album save for the improv section of moonchild, which even then has its fans for its atmosphere (including me).

It's a testament to that album's quality that the followup copied the album's structure to a degree and many of its sounds, but could not get anywhere near the fame of the original album. I actually really wish there was a second King Crimson album between those first two, just so that lineup could shine for longer, since Poseidon had the unfortunate luck of being made right as the band was basically breaking up or already had as lake turned it over to Fripp.

I love the Bruford era, but there is a reason the original lineup is so legendary.
I love LTIA to death and back. I would defend that album's honor in a sword duel.

wrong guy oops

Once Neil and Bob die, there's going to be nothing left to live for anymore. No one will ever write songs like that again.
