This section will contain reviews of stuff that I'm currently listening to, or stuff that is fundamentally important to developing an appreciation for certain styles of music. Currently I've not written any articles, but they'll be coming very soon.
In the mean time, here's an excruciatingly short list of artists and albums that I'd recommend:
Jazz:
- Pat Metheny - Bright Size Life
- Diana Krall - All For You
- Bill Evans - You Must Believe In Spring
Classical:
- Arnold Schoenberg - String Quartet in D Major
- Igor Stravinsky - Rite of Spring
- Natalie Dessay - French Opera Arias
Folk/Acoustic:
- Dave Grisman - Dawgwood
- Nickel Creek - Why Should the Fire Die?
- Robin Bullock - Green Fields
Rock/Pop:
- System Of A Down - Toxicity
- Sheryl Crow - Wildflower
- Steely Dan - Aja
Country:
- Willie Nelson - Stardust
- Ricky Skaggs - 16 Biggest Hits
- Tony Rice Unit - Manzanita
Hip Hop/Electronic:
- Black Eyed Peas - Elephunk
- Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
- Talvin Singh - OK
Wow! I figured that a huge list wouldn't do anybody any good, because you wouldn't know where to start. However, I didn't realize how hard it would be to be limited to these categories and just three albums in each. I'll definitely get started on writing more complete reviews A.S.A.P.
