Chef Jim Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Yes. But this one is a bit more of a challenge. Post an album from your high school days that is a bit obscure that you listened to a lot! I just pulled this one out and it still kicks ass and I recalled every beat.
RaoulDuke79 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) This one was a few years out of high school.....cant find a link for the full album, but all of the tracks are on YouTube.......wow, now that I go back and listen to it I think it holds up well. Probably haven't listened to this in 15 years. A lot of great stuff on here. Although this type of music isn't for everyone. Good memories. Edited February 10, 2018 by RaoulDuke79
Greybeard Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 I played this album so much when I was a kid that the color of the album was literally grey. Those sapphire needles and a lot of plays did that. Surf music, my second most favorite genre. Earlier today I was searching Youtube for versions of Pipeline. Back in the 90's when I frequented users groups, there was a guy who claimed be had over 100 different versions of Pipeline, so I had to see how many I could find. 1
Greybeard Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Here is another which probably has more universal appeal. A buddy let me borrow his copy back in late 66. This was the album that showed me there was more than just pop radio. Still rates in my top 10 albums. If you like blues based music, I am sure you will find a couple of great songs on here. The song "Flute Thing" was so different than anything I had heard before, at the time. In late 67, when I went to college, guys from NYC said these guys would give free concerts in Central Park back then. For whatever reason they couldn't catch on. Also, I believe this to be Al Kooper's first band, for those that know who he is. Edited February 10, 2018 by Greybeard
snafu Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 ^^^ I listened to a lot of the Cramps. Saw them in Toronto in '85 when I was a Junior in HS. Here's one from my youth, even though it came out a little before my days in HS:

They had a cover of "David Watts," a song best heard live. 1
SinceThe70s Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) If you never heard this band, 12:30 in is a good start: "Gotta Keep a Runnin". Edited February 11, 2018 by SinceThe70s

I've been in CA for 35 years and never really got into Surf Music. Then I moved back to SoCal from NorCal this past July and added Surf Rock station to Pandora kind of as a welcome back. Fun stuff!!
SinceThe70s Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Great topic. I listen/sample most of what gets posted in the various music threads if I haven't heard them before. But this thread is tough to keep up with...I just don't have the time to listen to all of these full albums (much as I'd like to). Unsolicited suggestion: in addition to posting the album link, post the time of the song that will make us want to hear the rest of the album if it's new to us.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 I wouldn't say it was obscure but this is what I listened to in highschool; A LOT:
Just Jack Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Peter Murphy - Deep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jtVvyCUVnQ&list=PLNxh7oae2bu14P0Kw7EIRW4ZeUa3ST-Aw
The Poojer Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Was just thinking about this album from my high school days. It was always an interesting listen. Paul Winter Consort - Common Ground https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4HydhsXYonLTg8Cn4uLNAvullwdhZTfx
dhg Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Saw Paul Winter at Buff State or UB in late 80s. Canyon album. Interesting sound for sure. 1
