    I remember my older sister downloading some grandaddy songs on Napster in the early 2000s. I was in a little garage band, and we usually spent Friday nights just listening to new music together before jamming. I ripped a cd with The Crystal Lake on it and played it for my buddies. I can still remember the smiles of bemused glee that spread across their faces when the synth came in. it's so wonderful to see people genuinely enjoy something unique and special in music.

      The Colour of Spring, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock has to be one of the finest three consecutive albums by any band, ever. And despite the other two being absolute masterpieces, it’s The Colour of Spring that I head back to most. It may be nostalgia.
      Recommended listening to anybody who hasn’t heard those works of genius.

      @tramparse84 Certainly give them a listen, it’s an absolute must in my view. Start with The Colour of Spring and then work through the two that followed, appreciate their progression, how they moved from synth-pop to something quite extraordinary, and still as fresh today as it was back then.
      It’s a journey, and I hope you’re rewarded.

    This is the first WIMB I've seen where the person picks more books than music. But... he picked Colour of Spring! Fantastic album by one of my favorite bands. Their progression as artists is one of the most drastic I've ever heard, and they just kept getting better.
    To Jason's point about their impact, Spirit of Eden is often considered the prototype of the post-rock movement. I remember listening to it when it came out and being somewhat disappointed when I wasn't hearing traditional pop song structures, but half way through the album, I just turned the lights down and let it wash over me. It was magical. Just a brilliant, emotional collection of music that truly moved me. If you haven't heard it, give it a listen, but _really_ give it a listen -- it's not a singles album.

    Love all his 80's record picks. A-Ha is waaaaay better than people are recalling from the 80's and their 2022 record True North is an impressive one. Talk Talk of course are legends and one can easily see why Jason counts them as an influence. And of course Bad Brains, one of the most ferocious genre-crossing bands of their time.

    The Colour of Spring (and the album before it too It’s My Life) are the two most timeless sounding albums of the 80s.
    Then Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock are on a whole other plane in how they influenced post rock.
    One of the best bands of all time and I don’t mean that lightly.
