me too lol. He should recommend one album at the beginning of each concert. I would have checked out over 30 by now lol. Still hoping they come back to US for end of year tour. Ive seen them twice on new years eve great time
A few days ago I had a conversation with a colleague of mine about our favourite music. I played Firebirds by Clutch to her. Alltough she‘s not into rock or metal she immediately said that the guy singing there has an amazing voice and is extremely talented. I‘m looking forward to see Clutch live in Cologne next month. To me, they are one of the greatest bands in the world today.
Just saw them in Barcelona! I was shocked that the venue was so small, and in the end grateful cause Neil was able to interact with us a ton, there were so few of us
I just came back from their show in Cologne. So awesome! It was the first time I saw them live after ten years of listening to their records. The two bands that supported them (Tigercub and Green Lung) were also really good.
@@mentality-monster went to that same one, i'm still jealous that other towns had longer set lists, unfortunately the guys only played like one song each from their late 90s/early 2000s albums
I hate labeling Clutch as stoner metal. Clutch songs and music cover so many genres. Sure early on they were pretty heavy and that was what turned me on to them. But as I got older their music got better and covered many categories. Now Im 50 my father and kids listen to them. I am waiting for my kids to be old enough to take them to their first clutch concert.
I'm 45 and have been listening to Clutch since their begining in the early 90's. They are an important piece of why the 90's was so great. But I've been a fan for 30 years, I love all their music. I agree with you though, they were and are a genre onto themselves. Both my daughters listen to them also. I would love to take them to a show also......
I suspect had they never recorded Spacegrass they never would've got saddled with the "stoner" label. For whatever reason some people seem to want to cling to that song as the defining Clutch moment/sound.
They were one of my first ish concerts. I went to see Black Label Society and Clutch toured with them at the time and I had no idea who Clutch was. This was 09 I think when I was 14, and I've been a huge Clutch fan since
I have the feeling of different flavoures in their different songs. Sometimes ZZ Top, sometimes Monster Magnet, then blues or country. I will see them next Friday in Zagrab. Can't wait.
Thank you for this video, I’m not a metal head but your list awakened a memory from my youth with the lord of the rings album which I had as a teenager in the 70’s. I’d completely forgotten about it but have just re listened to on Spotify and it brought back so many happy memories of me with my vinyl collection in my early music listening years. I’m going to listen to the other ten records now. Cheers from the UK
I been a Metal-Head since I was 15 (56 now!) and for me one of the most powerful non-Metal LPs is... "Madman Across the Water" by SIR ELTON JOHN (1971)!! Yeah, everyone knows "tiny dancer" but NOT everyone has heard the deep title track or the intense prison lamentation "rotten peaches"! (Both tracks are on UA-cam... call 'em up!)
“Funeral for a friend/love lies bleeding” is a great track from Elton John ( not from “Mad Man…” I know ) great soundscape with some interesting guitar work.
I love that Neil is a Funkadelic (and especially Eddie Hazel!) fan. First saw them tour opening the first album. Then into headlining their own club tours. I remember the FBI in Orlando like it was yesterday. Still a fan. Got to make a poster for them too
@@vietnamd0820 I saw them open for Sepultura down south in the Miami area. They opened for another band after that before I saw them tour on their own. Fairbanks Inn was a venue in Orlando that they played on the 2nd album and I think maybe The Edge too. Blurry years for me. I can tell you that they played with Shift and Tad opening the s/t album and the guy driving the Jeep we went it had a mushroom party that night before the show. On the way home with 7 of us in the Jeep, he swerved to purposely hit the back end of an oncoming car and missed. We flipped over on our side and I walked back to my friends house. My back has never been the same. Great show though. I can actually remember the vocal transition for Neil when he started singing more and screaming less because his voice couldn’t hold up for a tour like that. The s/t album is a classic, but it caught us off guard at the time. Crazy years for me back then
@@thomasminarchickjr.7355 I got to see Clutch several times in NYC for the Transnational Speedway League tour…they also did a show in NYC shortly before the self titled album was released…we got to hear Spacegrass and Texan Book of the Dead…for Spacegrass, when he said “don’t worry it’s coming”, we took it to mean his screams and music mayhem was coming, which it did indeed come 😁
@@thomasminarchickjr.7355 That must’ve been amazing seeing Clutch open for Sepultura…Sepultura was excellent live then…were they touring for Roots or Chaos AD at the time? I’m guessing Roots
I love Neils descriptions of these records - very considered. Love that he’s checked Hooker & Funkadelic as well as John Carpenter- all fantastic musicians & records. Thanks Neil 👏👍
Love these album recommendations. My husband and I have gone to see Clutch 5 times in the last 6 years. It’s always an awesome show and such a good time. Rock on 🤘
Great call on Burt Jansch! I’ve been listening to Pentangle for years. You could add Fairport Convention‘s ‘Liege & Leif’ album to that list as well. Some suggestions: Kraftwerk ~ The Man Machine Prince Buster ~ Judge Dredd Current 93 ~ Swastikas For Noddy Wolf People ~ Fain The Tall Boys ~ Yeah Buddy! John Wayne ~ Texas Funeral
Cool idea. I'm pleased to see Neil Fallon is both ecclectic and humble. I definitely still think in those terms (how new music can be compared to my "go to" music). I listened to classical music as a kid, it was the only LPs worth listening to in my parent's house. Any example of baroque music is metal. Early baroque late renaissance, Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Probably a lot more, but that's what I can recall.
Night Tripper is one of the most mind blowing albums ever. John Lee Hooker - everything from the depths of his soul!Happy to see a few on here I don't know and looking forward to diving in. Great choices!
Bert Jansch is amazing but personally I'm a bigger fan of his fellow guitarist in Pentangle, John Renbourne!!! Absolutely amazing. Excellent picks Neil!! Clutch are solid!!!!
Love these 11 great non-metal albums for metal heads vids - always interesting, always inspiring - demonstrates yet again just how educated and open minded metal musicians and the fans are, great stuff 👍
To tie a couple of things together ( ie: John Carpenter and country music ) Carpenter’s father played in The Nashville Brass ( they were a horn orchestra that backed many country artists as well as orchestral versions of popular country tunes). You can hear their work in the horn break on Jerry Reed’s famous theme “East Bound and Down” ( from “ Smoky and the Bandit” ). Great video dude 👍🤘!
Yes really cool video. Clutch may not quite be metal. But they sure are the best rock and roll band in America right now! Thanks Neil, for taking the time to do this video! (I tell ya a band metalheads would like and probably don't listen to much: The Ramones!)
I listened mostly to metal and punk as a teenager. Some of the first bands that caught my attention and drew me in another direction were Radiohead, The Cure & The Smiths.
Hey Revolver and Neil from Ned in Spain. Cool choices. The Indian instrument used on Alice Coltrane's that makes the drone sound is a Tanpura ( TAN pura ).
Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter, Willie, these picks are right up my alley. I'll be checking out the others that I don't know about for sure especially the LOTR album. Great choices.
I'd suggest any Japanese pop and rock groups to metalheads who are very open-minded and can get into any good music in general, they're really underrated worldwide and some of them can go really creative into composing my recommendations are: Yorushika: from very soft stuff to rock in general, they're very good at making catchy songs Suichu Spica: very chill music with advanced guitar tapping Ado: insane vocal techniques WagakkiBand: kinda close to metal but they add a lot to their songs with Japanese traditional instruments like koto, shakuhachi, shamisen Wolpis Carter: for people who enjoy high pitched vocals this might surprise you
I would suggest getting into Opeth. They were strictly a death metal band in the 90's and early 2000's but have transitioned into folk and jazz. I suggest their albums; Damnation, Sorceress, Heritage, Pale Communion, and half of Watershed, for non-metal but highly complex, progressive, folk, jazz, rock and Celtic influenced works of art and storytelling. Michael Akerfeldt's voice, and guitar phrasing / tone is world class. Must be heard through headphones to be fully appreciated.
Mr Fallon covered an interesting mix of music and also gives great pointers - Clutch of course is one of the best bands of recent times and surely in the future some other artist will mention Clutch in their list of great bands. Salute!!
Your description of #6 (which I will be sure to check out) reminds me somewhat of the American Band Negativeland. My personal favorites were kind of all from the same period, Helter Stupid, Free and Dispepsia are all tape loop, analog editing classics.
I'd like to add Hound Dog Taylor to the list. I used to play this for my metal loving friends who were stunned by how "heavy" the guitar sounded. Real dirty sounding (and he had 6 fingers on one hand). Miles Davis Kind of Blue. Put on headphones and walk through a popular part of town on a Friday Night. Kind of like your own personal movie sound track...Duane Allman was a huge fan of this album. Last one...The Easybeats...Friday on my Mind has been covered numerous times and guitarist George Young produced some early stuff for his two little brothers Malcolm and Angus...yep AC/DC. Great list...you introduced me to some new stuff to listen to. Thanks! no1uknn0
cool selection of absolute classics. a couple of my own suggestions, if you like the hypnotic fuzz and drone aspects of stuff like Burzum - Filosofem, check out Natural Snow Buildings - Waves of the Random Sea, and Barn Owl - Lost in the Glare
Great list, Tangerine Dream is one of my favorite non-metal band out there. Along with the one stated I would recommend Stratosfear and Green Desert. They were my introduction to Tangerine Dream.
Wow. Was always a clutch fan when I was a kid (mid 90s), and expected to find some cool blues and Maggot Brain on this list (because it’s awesome). As a film school nerd, I did not expect to see love for John Carpenter and Tangerine Dream on this list. They did the soundtrack to an old William Friedkin film called Sorcerer, which has become a re-appreciated classic by some. Along with all the varied folk stuff and country goes to show there must have been a reason I began liking Clutch back in the day.
I'm not sure what made me click on this because I don't consider myself a metalhead at all...but this was so interesting! I love your list, and I especially love your brief discussion of each album. I'm inspired to check out the albums I'm not familiar with. Thank you for this.
I knew Neil and Danny a little bit in high school. Awesome to see them grow into what they are. He had 'thrashing doves' on his Chuck Taylor's and 10000 maniacs in my tribe CD next to master of puppets. Loved that we both had eclectic taste and the SAME crappy Cort electric guitar.
I'm with him on the harp. It's the most beautiful instrument to hear and see played live. Completely enthralling. To the main topic at hand, Jim Croce is a good non-metal listen for metaheads and punks alike. His great simple riffs and fable-like stories seem to be loved by everyone.
I did not expect Bo Hansson to be mentioned, thats also one of my all time fav albums. Its probably one of the best swedish releases during the 70s beside November-En ny tid är här.
Hi Boss I will check out the 11. You guys doing your 5 show count down to New Year's? Wish I could be there. But I still have a few surgeries to go through I'm not done hitting up and being ran over.
My two favorite genres are metal and blues. Reason being, both have popular artists but also huge underground followings. With that said, I tell students to listen to everything. You can get ideas anywhere. Also, there's no telling where music will take you. I used to play metal for fun but play weddings for cash. The funny thing was all the stuff my mom played on the stereo was what I ended up doing in the wedding bands. There was a few times I shocked the bandleader after I looked over the set lists. But yeah, definitely listen to anything and everything. Spin the dial on the radio and see what comes up
Man has great taste!! I'm definitely going to check out that LOTR album. I'd like to recommend Yr by Steve Tibbetts. Some world class guitar playing!!!
This is great. I like to think of myself as an experienced audiophile but there is always someone else around the corner who introduces new shit to me.

much appreciated

@@karlamckinney8947 Hail Sata...I mean seventies
I hope Revolver makes this a very regular thing. It’s a really great idea.
I would easily pay to hear Neil just talk music. The Man is such an articulate speaker & fan of the craft.
me too lol. He should recommend one album at the beginning of each concert. I would have checked out over 30 by now lol. Still hoping they come back to US for end of year tour. Ive seen them twice on new years eve great time
Great picks! Thanks for sharing. Maggot Brain is a must for any music fan of any genre.
And one of the greatest guitar solos if they didn't need to be said

Revolver...This needs to become a regular segment on this channel. This is great!!
That Willie Nelson album is outstanding. One of the finest story tellers in music, this may be his finest effort.
I love Clutch and Mr. Fallon is just a very pleasantly cool and smart person. So smooth! Much Love!!
Thank you so much Neil! I’m looking forward to checking out many of your picks!

That and Tumbleweed Connection...two of his best.....actually, one could stop there.
I could not agree more. Mad Man is so good.
46, metal head, and I know what you’re talking about. What is they say these days…. “Real respects real”?
“Funeral for a friend/love lies bleeding” is a great track from Elton John ( not from “Mad Man…” I know ) great soundscape with some interesting guitar work.
Excellent suggestion 🤘Elton's first few albums are all really good...

Musical education from the enlightened leader of the mighty Clutch. Thanks for sharing.
Great call on Burt Jansch! I’ve been listening to Pentangle for years. You could add Fairport Convention‘s ‘Liege & Leif’ album to that list as well.
Some suggestions:
Kraftwerk ~ The Man Machine
Prince Buster ~ Judge Dredd
Current 93 ~ Swastikas For Noddy
Wolf People ~ Fain
The Tall Boys ~ Yeah Buddy!
John Wayne ~ Texas Funeral
Wolf People, good call. Brilliant music.
Cool idea. I'm pleased to see Neil Fallon is both ecclectic and humble.

check out the group SUSS - country meets ambient
Somehow I missed the boat on Clutch till recently . I can't stop listening to Beale st and Oblivion.
I'd pick Tori Amos Little Earthquakes. Back in the day all my friends including myself were metal/rock fans and we all loved this record. I still do.
These are fantastic profiles of musicians’ influences. Excellent!
Maggot Brain 100%. Funk is not metal and vice versa but we are fellow travelers.
Thanks a lot for the input, Neil!
Yes really cool video. Clutch may not quite be metal. But they sure are the best rock and roll band in America right now! Thanks Neil, for taking the time to do this video! (I tell ya a band metalheads would like and probably don't listen to much: The Ramones!)
What a fantastic list! Thank you Neil for turning me on to these great, obscure albums. 47 years of album collecting and they all alluded me!
Thank you! Good suggestions for anyone, from any background.
Every time I listen to Neil talk, his interesting and provocative lyrics make more and more sense; guy's smart and deep.
It's really cool to get a little peek inside the heads of my favorite musicians. Thanks for the awesome content.
One of the most underrated guys in the industry right here.
Maggot Brain is my fav choice of them all. No doubt Eddie Hazel is criminally underrated and the title track has everything. Perfect choice
I listened mostly to metal and punk as a teenager. Some of the first bands that caught my attention and drew me in another direction were Radiohead, The Cure & The Smiths.
Great choices
Fascinating insight as to why these albums are good.
I will listen to these as the description given for each was very insightful
Hey Revolver and Neil from Ned in Spain. Cool choices. The Indian instrument used on Alice Coltrane's that makes the drone sound is a Tanpura ( TAN pura ).
Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter, Willie, these picks are right up my alley. I'll be checking out the others that I don't know about for sure especially the LOTR album. Great choices.
I'd suggest any Japanese pop and rock groups to metalheads who are very open-minded and can get into any good music in general, they're really underrated worldwide and some of them can go really creative into composing
my recommendations are:
Yorushika: from very soft stuff to rock in general, they're very good at making catchy songs
Suichu Spica: very chill music with advanced guitar tapping
Ado: insane vocal techniques
WagakkiBand: kinda close to metal but they add a lot to their songs with Japanese traditional instruments like koto, shakuhachi, shamisen
Wolpis Carter: for people who enjoy high pitched vocals this might surprise you
Couldn’t be more spot on!!! I knew there was a reason I totally respected Clutch-
I owned the Bo Hanson vinyl in 1970 for gods sake. I had totally forgotten its existence. Fascinating.
I put on Tangerine Dream to fall asleep to (Zeit usually) love the early albums up through the 80s.
I would suggest getting into Opeth. They were strictly a death metal band in the 90's and early 2000's but have transitioned into folk and jazz. I suggest their albums; Damnation, Sorceress, Heritage, Pale Communion, and half of Watershed, for non-metal but highly complex, progressive, folk, jazz, rock and Celtic influenced works of art and storytelling. Michael Akerfeldt's voice, and guitar phrasing / tone is world class. Must be heard through headphones to be fully appreciated.
My dad loved Tangerine Dream, and he loved "Ricochet." R.I.P. dad. I love you and miss you.
Love it! Great picks. I've seen Clutch live and they're amazing. I think Neil's sister was on that show Ace of Cakes
She was!
Great picks Neil! So much great music 🎶
Mr Fallon covered an interesting mix of music and also gives great pointers - Clutch of course is one of the best bands of recent times and surely in the future some other artist will mention Clutch in their list of great bands. Salute!!
Your description of #6 (which I will be sure to check out) reminds me somewhat of the American Band Negativeland. My personal favorites were kind of all from the same period, Helter Stupid, Free and Dispepsia are all tape loop, analog editing classics.
Such an interesting list. And your #11 choice is wonderful.
I saw Pharoah Sanders at the John Coltrane Jazz and Blues Festival 2 years ago. Awesome Dude.
Rest In Power Pharoah Sanders a true Jazz Legend he will truly be missed by many.
In-credible musician
Loved this. Also that Neil drives around in the middle of the night bumping this music and being terrified lol
I'd like to add Hound Dog Taylor to the list. I used to play this for my metal loving friends who were stunned by how "heavy" the guitar sounded. Real dirty sounding (and he had 6 fingers on one hand).
Miles Davis Kind of Blue. Put on headphones and walk through a popular part of town on a Friday Night. Kind of like your own personal movie sound track...Duane Allman was a huge fan of this album.
Last one...The Easybeats...Friday on my Mind has been covered numerous times and guitarist George Young produced some early stuff for his two little brothers Malcolm and Angus...yep AC/DC.
Great list...you introduced me to some new stuff to listen to.
Thanks!
no1uknn0
Some Bo Hansson love! Awesome! Jimi Hendrix did a cover of one of his songs. Never released but you can find it on UA-cam...
cool selection of absolute classics. a couple of my own suggestions, if you like the hypnotic fuzz and drone aspects of stuff like Burzum - Filosofem, check out Natural Snow Buildings - Waves of the Random Sea, and Barn Owl - Lost in the Glare
I thought the video would include Clutch, didn’t know it was hosted by Neil, YES!
Great list, Tangerine Dream is one of my favorite non-metal band out there. Along with the one stated I would recommend Stratosfear and Green Desert. They were my introduction to Tangerine Dream.
Phaedra is really great too.
Wow. Was always a clutch fan when I was a kid (mid 90s), and expected to find some cool blues and Maggot Brain on this list (because it’s awesome).

This whole series has been awesome, every artist so far, has been among my favorites, esp Neil, and Randy.
This is my kind of content! Keep it up!!!
Maggot Brain is a total masterpiece. Talk about face melting guitar playing. Just insane!
Tangerine Dream!!!! Yes! Ricochet is a Masterpiece.
good stuff. yeah this is a super cool idea. it gives me a lot of ideas for new stuff to listen to
Remain in Light by Talking Heads. And the first three Tom Waits records put out on Island. Oh and Kenny Burrell's Midnight Blue.
Props for mentioning Bo Hansson. Very nice list
Great list!! I really love the inclusion of Alice Coltrane on there. Jazz is my favorite non-metal foray.
Also, I spy a Cotillion shirt! 😁🤘
I'm not sure what made me click on this because I don't consider myself a metalhead at all...but this was so interesting! I love your list, and I especially love your brief discussion of each album. I'm inspired to check out the albums I'm not familiar with. Thank you for this.
Heilung is also pretty roundly loved by metalheads too.
That was worth every second - gonna go listen to Willie soon and the red-headed stranger - and Burt Jansch Jack Orion
I kept wondering how to find new artists... young or old, new to me... thank you, sir!
Wow, great taste! I will now listen to some Clutch.
Thanks for the lesson, Neil. Love your take on the familiar and the introduction to the unknown. Well done…!
I can vouch for most of these records. Excellent selection.
I knew Neil and Danny a little bit in high school. Awesome to see them grow into what they are.
He had 'thrashing doves' on his Chuck Taylor's and 10000 maniacs in my tribe CD next to master of puppets. Loved that we both had eclectic taste and the SAME crappy Cort electric guitar.
I own that Bo Hansson album, and it is indeed a trip!
Can’t wait to check some of this out!
Solid list for sure!
Red Headed Stranger is, and forever will be, the greatest country album. Shotgun Willie is damned good too.
I'm with him on the harp. It's the most beautiful instrument to hear and see played live. Completely enthralling.
To the main topic at hand, Jim Croce is a good non-metal listen for metaheads and punks alike. His great simple riffs and fable-like stories seem to be loved by everyone.
You don't mess around with Jim!
I did not expect Bo Hansson to be mentioned, thats also one of my all time fav albums. Its probably one of the best swedish releases during the 70s beside November-En ny tid är här.
Don't forget the other Swedish greats like Philemon Arthur and the Dung. 🤣🤣
Hi Boss
I will check out the 11. You guys doing your 5 show count down to New Year's? Wish I could be there. But I still have a few surgeries to go through I'm not done hitting up and being ran over.
🤘🏼 *Funkadelic is fantastic!* 🤘🏼
The Fugees "The Score" and OutKast "Southernplaylist" are my two fav non-rock albums of all times.
Why don’t they have the list in the description?
Whats the doom song playing while hes talking?
Love Clutch! Heavy ballads to bang head by. Love validation of my quirkiness for various non-genre albums.
Seriously great ears, amazing selection.
10:15 - JLH Burning Hell was recorded in Detroit at United Sound Systems, Funkadelic recorded there a lot as well.
Loving this series!
Neil is such a renaissance man. So well-rounded. Truly. I mean it in the most complementary way.
I’d completely forgotten about Bo Hansson’s Lord of the Rings. I bought this album back in the 70s.
Good choices. I completely forgot about Bo Hanson.
Wow! I can really hear how these influences affected Neil's music. Surprisingly Rob Zombie as well - Blood, Milk, & Sky in particular.
My two favorite genres are metal and blues. Reason being, both have popular artists but also huge underground followings.
With that said, I tell students to listen to everything. You can get ideas anywhere. Also, there's no telling where music will take you. I used to play metal for fun but play weddings for cash. The funny thing was all the stuff my mom played on the stereo was what I ended up doing in the wedding bands. There was a few times I shocked the bandleader after I looked over the set lists.
But yeah, definitely listen to anything and everything. Spin the dial on the radio and see what comes up
I love this series a lot.
Pronuced it perfect , sagan om ringen!
Surprised that Carmina Burana by Orff wasn't mentioned.
Man has great taste!! I'm definitely going to check out that LOTR album. I'd like to recommend Yr by Steve Tibbetts. Some world class guitar playing!!!
This is great. I like to think of myself as an experienced audiophile but there is always someone else around the corner who introduces new shit to me.
