This list is from the Paul Morley's Book - Words and Music
It is a list of albums he recomends you find if you start a conversion about what makes music weird "...and then after the weirdness - what happens, what changes, whats goes on, whats the point.."
I have created a Spotify Playlist from the selections though not all the LP are listed on spotify and not all the artist are available either, I have just dropped in tracks and not completely LPS but its a great starting point.
There is a second list which I will try and do this week.
If You Think Kid A Is Weird - One
This is the list below.
Thanks to Rocklists for saving me the time typing this our
88 Albums - If You Think Radiohead’s Kid A is Weird, Then You Should Really Hunt This Music Down
“After you have listened to at least twenty-two of the following, then perhaps you can begin a discussion, with Kylie or her ghostwriter, about just what makes music weird, and then – after the weirdness – what happens, what changes, what goes on, what’s the point – is it just a pleasure listening to weirdness that is just straightforward pleasure, or is the weirdness making the world, you mind, your mind in the world, a better place thing space capsule container mind room, etc… ?”
