Oh I thought you were intending to mean the stuff with Sunn0))) or whatever that terrible album was. His solo stuff was concurrent with Walker Brothers, no? I love his early solo stuff.losthighway wrote: Thu Sep 12, 2024 8:05 pmWhy not?enframed wrote: Thu Sep 12, 2024 12:12 pmNo.jimmy spako wrote: Thu Sep 12, 2024 10:18 am
Scott Walker? In terms of finding an authentic personal voice pretty far along into a music career...
Because the Walker Brothers were kind of awesome, or because you don't really care for SW?

46Who is doing the deciding on what amounts to "Landmark..."?losthighway wrote: Wed Sep 11, 2024 8:16 pm There are those who released a debut album that took the world by storm, then fought the sophomore slump. But I'm thinking about the other stories. The promising talent who creates some records with potential but doesn't craft a landmark until album three or four.
I'm thinking of people like Kate Bush who clearly had a talent but didn't coalesce into something truly incredible with album four, The Dreaming.
Or The National who didn't really know who they were until album four where they became critical darlings with The Boxer.
Or let's not forget George Harrison who wrote mostly shitty songs until suddenly he had stockpiles of great stuff.
Who do you see as a musical Late bloomer?
I know when the peeps finally caught onto Soul Asylum, but I think that they were laying waste the entire time.

47Or Vebena...
There is the whole stretch before they ruined Laura Ballance's day by knocking the cover off of it when they made Souls For Sale.
That said, it's not like that stretch is truly unfortunate or anything.
Or the time before that when they were Shallow.
