Good evening Harris. I was looking forward to your next video. Bang. The perfect intro to my Saturday evening VC video viewing. First off. Its crazy that you held up Green when you were talking about Kurt's 50 Favorite Albums. I was just spinning Green a few days ago. I would not put it in my top fifty favorite albums. But I do like it a lot. I remember him choosing Aerosmith's 'Rocks'. I can see why he choose it. I only saw Nirvana live once. It was at a local alternative radio station WFNX's eight birthday party. My co-worker sang in a band called Bullet LaVolta. They were the first on the bill that evening. Smashing Pumpkins went on before Nirvana. Kurt wasted no time going in the crowd. After the third or fourth song he stage dived into the packed full house crowd at Axis in Boston. Didn't he also choose The Shaggs album as one of his faves? Hmm... Con't Rob/Boston

Always enjoy your videos! As a teen i would discover bands by reading about bands i already liked. While reading a Duran Duran interview they listed bands that inspired them. Thats how i learned about Roxy Music. Of course that led to Bryan Ferry and Bryan Eno's solo work. Now if im talking to someone about music i always ask for a rec. That led me to Elliott Smith. Always an enjoyable hunt.

Comment Two of Two: Ah yes. Sparks 'KMH'. Stoked that you choose Morrissey as one of your favorite artists. The Chairman Of Chuckles. Brilliant Harris. Just brilliant. I am still a little bit confused about the two completed and ready for release albums Bonfire of Teenagers and Without Music The World Dies. I cannot believe that there is not one label that is willing to backup The Divine Mr. M. I appreciate you talking about the popularity of the VU in England and among some of the British artists. I cannot say the same for this country. It seemed like they were not talked about music here and were never played on terrestrial radio in the seventies, eighties and nineties. >< I thought that the Dave Grohl comment was hilarious. As a fellow music geek I would have reacted the same way that you did Harris. I was laughing when you counted the number of discs in Zen Arcade. I should have taken out my copy and counted them with you. {smile} Yes. There are only two. There has never been three as far as I know. Do you think that his quote was a typo?

I was actually thinking of you when I did this as there is a great photo of Robert Plant in the mid eighties with records all around him including The Replacements ‘Let It Be’ and an album by Fishbone. His favourite eighties album was ‘We Care A Lot’ by Faith No More! I used to love that song. Thanks as ever Rob, hope all is well..still raining sideways here! 😂

Harris I hear your cry for help & I'm here for you brother. I feel Ian McCulloch even though I'm sure he loves all of those records, that his photo is incredibly staged. Those perfect records that display the ultimate in cred & taste, just happened to be lying around when the photographer turned up 😂The chairman of chuckles 🤣I am on a quest to own every Sparks studio album (5 to go) and The Fall's studio albums (3 to go).That VU record is brilliant. John Lydon has some great fav records. As if I couldn't dig Bowie any more and he picks LKJ. So very cool! Of course Hendrix would have Little Richard. He played with him and got kicked out, because Little Richard said that only himself could be the pretty one in his band 😂 Harris oh Harris how I hate Abba. I feel like I'm the only one in the VC. Surely anyone who grew up in Australia at that time would agree with me that it's syrupy Eurovision cheese. Brian Wilson, that's how far ahead of us he is. He picks Beach Boy albums where he took a back seat & Carl took over the reigns. Sly Stone, yep I've always associated Eno with being a total funkmeister. Why does it not surprise me that Prince only really listens to his own stuff. Well he has a point. They're not bad records. Nice stuff mate. Cheers...Ben

Ha, ha I’m not that keen on ABBA tbh!..just the greatest hits! Many of which appear to have accrued in my collection. Yeah I guessed that photo was staged, ind you I used to do the same whenever a girl came round, move the cool Miles Davis to the front..try & look intellectual! There’s a lot of Fall albums!, I think they are reissue a few of the nineties ones soon, that was a good period for the band, so may pick up one of those. Yeah I loved those Brian Wilson picks, pretty unexpected, both my favourites of the middle period bar ‘Surfs Up’. Yeah Lydon was really into his dance too, cut great tracks with Bambaata & Leftfield. I forgot Hendrix played with Little Richard. Cheers Ben, just finished watching another awesome day of Ashes cricket...unfortunately rain is set in for the next 4 days!

My Bowie impersonation is just the same, think flight of the conchords song 'Bowie's in space'.

I really enjoyed that Harris. Great albums appreciated by great artists. I've have a lot of affection for Kimono My House but No.1 In Heaven is probably the better album. I think you should come onto Iain's Thursday night stream. Cheers 👍

Hi Mike, Thursdays are cricket night for me, so always rewatch the next day. I’ve got that Au Pairs debut too, that Live album looks interesting. You mention loads of albums I like, although Prog (bar crimson) is a massive blind spot for me! Thanks for watching, keep up the good work!

I read somewhere that Prince didn’t like listening to music styles that he felt he fully understood and had mastered himself, instead he preferred people to play him records by artists he didn’t understand. Apparently one of his favourite artists in this realm was the Cocteau twins.

Hello there mate.....mike vinyl spiral showed that Raincoats LP in one of his videos and he bigged it up,so i thought I'd give it a listen. Quite a different almost weird sounding record,kind of reminded me of The Creatures/Banshees ??? Not what i was expecting and probably one I'd have to listen to a few times to make sense of it all 🤔🤔🤔

Hi Nick, yeah it’s a difficult album, but I was thinking Banshees...if they were just learning their instruments! Funnily enough it was on Kurt Cobains list too. I’ve never been completely bowled over by it, but as you say an interesting listen, probably play The Slits more. Cheers Nick, appreciate it! 😊

Lemmy was a Nazi!! Should I smash my Little Richard records up now? Oddly I do have one on 78, I kept it as it is so 'symbolic' of the emergence of pop-soul music. Plus for some reason I find his 'crazy' voice oddly appealing at times. He does seem to embody the hedonism of the phenomenon. Beach Boys works well at 5.30am, when I'm usually fast asleep. Eno didn't pick 10 Gospel 45's isn't that pretty much all he listens to? Odd Prince, whose muzak I loathe, listened to such a gorgeous Lp as Mitchell's potentially finest moment. Good idea for a video Harris, you growing a beard, to look like a real man?

I heard Lemmy just liked the designs! I imagine Eno’s list is in a constant state of flux, he’s one of those hipsters. Wow that’s two albums in two videos where I’ve shown an album you like Mike? Must look to address this. I used the IPad facial hair app in this video just as an experiment. Looks like it’s worked. I’m using the app that guarantees ‘Contour shifting hillocks’ next. That should guarantee me a subscriber surge.

@@Harrispilton22 He liked prancing around in SS uniforms, I assume he was a psychopath. You might get a 'surge' if you did these naked, albeit a niche appeal, if you do contour your bullocks first. As to Ponce, I'm often puzzled why people who make muzak without any obvious or discernible value claim to have found this in sounds that appears to contain some. I'm no expert on Eno's favourites, but he has claimed he mainly listens to 'black' gospel songs. Which at the risk of annoying a few opera buffs might be the zenith of sound, or some are.
