Sorry guys, but "Machine Head" is a song by the group Bush. 


And now, for the second straight post, I've mentioned a member of the Rossdale-Stefani family.  Best Show Coincidence.

µ-ziq.  I know there are not too many techno fans on this board, but Tango 'n' Vectif, Bluff Limbo, The Auteurs v. µ-ziq, and Spatula Freak are just so good.  And then he went down the laptop-driven drill and bass route which ruined electronic music for a decade.

I really liked 'Lunatic Harness' and 'Royal Astronomy' even more so. Royal Astronomy was rather accessible and not drilly at all, I thought (although that track Mentim almost makes me physically ill. Other than that, one of my favorites).

I recently got the µ-ziq vs Auteurs album on vinyl. Very pleased with that purchase. Floor filler!

Ramones and hundreds of other bands/artists. 

I think the challenge is finding a band/artist that was GOOD then BAD then GOOD again.  Johnny Cash?

Talking Heads put out "True Stories" which sucks by any standard imaginable (may have been "on purpose" in some way but I still find no excuse for it). Then they came back with "Naked" which is a lovely album.

Neil Young falls into this camp as well.

Mountain Goats: Not a fan of their first two 4AD releases, Tallahassee and We Shall All Be Healed. But the stuff before and after is amazing.

I liked the early Super Furry Animals, but around Love Kraft my interest began to die off.

Tallahassee is great.

Bob Dylan is the only artist I can think of, off hand.

Tallahassee is great.

I guess.  Maybe I was just put off by the initial switch to hi-fi and needed some time to warm to it.

From everything I've read, I'm probably in the minority on really liking it and a lot of that has to do with hearing certain songs from it live, not necessarily the record itself.  Seems like most people warmed up to the switch around [i[The Sunset Tree[/i].

Phantom Power was a really great album, I thought. Where was your jumping off point?
