13 Final Sounds To Take With You Into A Dystopia, and Why (in brackets, please)

1. Peabo Bryson - Feel The Fire (something about this soaring soul ballad and Bryson's immaculate tenor gives me such a rush of energy, and opens up the space around me spiritually)
2. John Coltrane - Naima (no question for me, this piece of music is always in my head, as far as I'm concerned it's perfect & instills so much emotion and joy)
3. The Pretenders - Revolution (because I'll be part of the resistance)

I know nothing about these guys, can you recommend me where to start?

The first two studio albums Nothing's Shocking, then Ritual de lo Habitual. Ritual is my personal favorite. Their first self titled album is a live recording. Ignore their later two albums that they released after Ritual (Strays and The Great Escape Artist) Both were recorded without original bass player Eric Avery whose bass lines began many of their most epic songs and who contributed (but never given enough or any credit for) to the lyrics and overall art direction of the band. They were also recorded long after lead singer Perry Farrell had completely lost his mind and talent for writing lyrics.

I'd also say that from 87-91 they were the best live band going.

First time hearing this and i want to say it's beautiful though that doesn't cover it, it's really extraordinarily beautiful. I can see why you'd want to carry this with you - listening it's like alchemically downloading every art form, holding them in a distilled timeless mist.

@Violent Violin you're a jazz cat right? How familiar are you with Paul Desmond?

I've only just discovered him but man, I'm blown away by Desmond Blue. That dude is awesome

Three Days
Then She Did
Summertime Rolls

Check those three out. I love all their songs from the original lineup (they are my all time favorite band) but those three are the best if I had to pick a top 3.

8. Arcana - Innocent Child (The song is about being remorseful for bringing a new life into a world that is vile and corrupt, which seems pretty fitting for this scenario)

I graduated from high school in 1992 and lived in the sticks, so sadly didn't get to see this band live during that period, but Nothing's Shocking and Ritual were on constant rotation in my car's tape deck at the time. All these years later I still love Ritual in particular. Awesome band during their brief peak.

My favorite Jane's Addiction song:

Yeah, Desmond is great. He's on one of my favorite jazz albums, Concierto by Jim Hall. If you don't know it, you should:



He's more cool jazz so I'm not as up on his music, I tend more towards hard bop, straight ahead, bebop, modal, etc.
