Music sharing poast?

So, in an effort to sate my need for good music I have yet to hear, I propose we all share an album that means a great deal to us, preferably one you think is either relatively unknown or criminally under-appreciated. Post the album and artist name, as well as a youtube video of a track you think characterizes the album's sound well.
Hope you guys enjoy this. Here is a track from Don Ellis, from the album Tears of Joy. A really incredible composer/trumpeter/bandleader that specialized in writing really swinging compositions in a variety of odd time signatures. This album means a lot to me and it may strike you if you listen to it.. I hope to be moved by your recommendations, fellow ghettoers.


Also, bewbs..

Hahahaha! I've always thought that you shouldn't dance to music... it should give you an epileptic seizure, whether it be physical or mental. I assumed you may have a taste for the Avant-Garde with your choice of username here. I also thought you probably previously heard of some of these already. Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST. ;)

True dat. ;) I have heard all the artists, but not the tracks you recommended, which were all awesome! Check out these guys from my hometown of Asheville, NC.. They are a bit like Massacre on speed, but with some cool melodic moments as well.



I don't know about not dancing, but I do know I at least like to listen to tracks enough to where I can seizure to the beat in a live setting. That being said, we need to have some kind of weekly JammyPac/Creamcheese avant-garde/experimental post thing..

There are so many to choose from through my life and even the most recent records I've bought can sometimes jump way up there.

This record has been a steady favourite for thirty years and it never disappoints.  If I could go back and convince him to leave the Intergalactic Laxative off the lp, I most certainly would as it interrupts one of the best collections of songs from any era, to my ears.  It's a little broody here and there and has some stellar production/arrangements.  So, I'll pull this one...
