Music that stuns you to silence
Jump to: Newest in thread
So, it’s the six-week holidays which means that my days will be filled with motorbike rides and record buying. Seeing as today is a raining mess, I’m revisiting some old favourites on the turntable.
My usual process is that I listen to music, on the go, through Deezer, and if I like something I’ll put it in my favourites, but if it’s mind-blowingly good I’ll buy it on vinyl. And I don’t mean just “Yeh, that’s really good”. I mean, stops-you-in-your-tracks, rendered speechless, unable to comprehend how something so sublime could have been made.
So, what music did that for you?
Here’s a couple of mine:
The Mars Volta’s album Deloused In The Comatorium.
Cory Henry’s keyboard solo in Lingus by Snarky Puppy |

Kingfish's cover of Purple Rain.
Also Kent Nishimura, a guitarist on YouTube does numerous fingers fingerstyle covers of popular songs. His technique is unreal. |

One of the best albums ever, never mind to 90’s- everything about it is exquisite |

"Public Service Broadcasting
The first track I heard of there's was Spitfire, Spotify randomly through it at me and it was inline anything I'd ever heard. Genius band"
Love this! And Go! by them, too. |

I watched a covers band last weekend and they did Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. I'm not a PF fan but this band especially the lead guitarist did Pink Floyd songs better than Pink Floyd! Definitely an OMG moment for me !!  |

Pretty much the entire Bat Out Of Hell Album - Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf forever in my heart.
Adrian Smiths guitar solo on Stranger in a Strange Land + Dave Murrays guitar solo in Hallowed Be Thy Name
Jupiter - Holst
Elder Scrolls Oblivion OST
Wish You Were + Dark Side of The Moon (the albums)
Eruption - Van Halen
The Last Waltz (always emotional)
Slipknots first album
I could go on and on... |

Bat Out Of Hell was stunning!
Slipknot’s first album was definitely one to stop you in your tracks. It was just brutal from beginning to end.
If you like heavier music, have you heard the album We Are The Romans by Botch? That was a game changing album, for me. |
