Title: The Discography Discussion Tracker Thread
Post by: jingle.boy on May 09, 2014, 03:21:04 PM
So, there seems to be enough interest to make this a regular thing.  There's no shortage of music fans here that know an entire band's discography, and no shortage of DTF'rs looking to find a reason to absorb new music.  I'm happy to have this be a 'sign-up' or tracker thread.  Couple of suggestions to keep in mind:

- the artist/band should have a minimum of 5 albums
- If you sign up to lead a discussion, please have it for a band who's discography you that you truly "know"
- give the forum about a week to listen to, digest, and discuss the album
- give your DTFrs a reason to follow... tell us why you're doing the band, why you're uniquely qualified to do it, why you're a huge fan, share stories/anecdotes/experiences etc...
- if anyone has any other suggestions or guidance, feel free to offer them up

Original OP:
Now that we're coming to the end of Kev leading the discussion around The Flower Kings' discography, how many people would be interested in making this a regular thing?  People 'sign up' for a band, and then lead a thread and discussion on their discography?  Bob had a ton of interest in the ones he led, and I'm up for following more bands, using it as reason to explore etc... There's no shortage of music fans here that know an entire band's discography.

Thoughts?  Anyone interested in following these kinds of threads?  Anyone interested in leading these kinds of threads?

I'd follow that Led Zeppelin one.

Maybe up for doing a System of a Down one, don't know how much interest that would generate though. Or Trivium.

Post by: Podaar on May 09, 2014, 04:19:13 PM
Zep would be really good because people are so opinionated and sometimes emotional over their output. I'd follow that.

Also, the Original Post maybe a good place to have links to the other threads. I know Orbert did Chicago, Yes, ELP and Genesis? Maybe more?

I've thought about doing one for Spock's Beard/Neal Morse/Transatlantic and related albums from SB members. It would have to wait a couple more weeks before I begin so that work calms down a bit and summer comes around.

Great idea.  If this continues to gain interest, I could make this a 'tracker' thread, maybe get a mod to sticky it, and then see who signs up for what.

I'd follow a Led Zep one, but my experience with my top 50 thread (what? It's been ten days since I did a post?!) pretty much proves I'd have no business doing a discography thread.  :lol

I think it's an interesting idea for a thread and something that would be fun, but I doubt any of the bands people would write about would be of much interest to me personally.

There's a group of fans on the board that likely would ... Reaper, DC, LieLow... plenty of others have interest in bands (eg, Gojira) I would have zero interest in.  Just like the Top 50 and Roulette 'games', all tastes are welcome, and produce all different kinds of followers.

I've thought about doing one for Spock's Beard/Neal Morse/Transatlantic and related albums from SB members. It would have to wait a couple more weeks before I begin so that work calms down a bit and summer comes around.

-Marc.

I'd do them separately, instead of lumping them all together.  SB deserves their own, as does solo Neal; Transatlantic doesn't have enough albums to do one for them, and we've discussed them all ad nauseam in the TA thread anyway.  Lumping them all together would result in a thread that takes too long and would see interest jump up and down, since you'd have people who maybe don't listen to all of those projects.

Not sure if serious.  I think with the number of Rush fans on the forum, the depth of their discography, perhaps two people could share the responsibilities, and split it?  Just thinking out loud.

You took the the words right off my keyboard Kev.  I think we collectively should come up with some 'guidelines' on how to run these.  My initial thoughts are:

- the act should have a minimum of 5 albums.  Doing a Circus Maximus discog discussion would be over in 2 weeks.
- whoever leads the discussion should truly know the band and the albums. 
- like the top 50 and roulette 'games', I don't think there should be more than 3 of these running at any given time.
- give the forum about a week to listen to, digest, and discuss the album.  Especially if there's 3 running simultaneously, giving updates every couple of days won't allow the followers that are new to the band/albums the chance to listen and participate.  I think Kev's pacing was great for TFK (though I fell behind because of work).

Any other thoughts?  I'll update the OP before the end of the weekend, and we can use this as a 'sign up' thread.

All good advice! I figure you guys would suggest to do them separately, and upon thinking about it, I agree. I guess I mean to say I would start with SB, do the band's albums, then branch off to some member's solo albums, and move on through Neal's solo albums, all in separate threads. Give the complete SB/NM experience. I'd have to do a bit of research and work on some things, but if there's a bigger SB/NM fan out there who wants to do one, go right ahead! I don't mind! Heck, I've only been a fan of them since 2003/2004, so I've only known them for half of their career! I'm sure there are a few older/long-time fans here that know more about the band.

Also, in addition to Chicago, Yes, Genesis, ELP, and The Flower Kings, wasn't there also one for The Beatles?

-Marc.

Post by: KevShmev on May 10, 2014, 08:45:18 AM
I think so, but IIRC, it was abandoned and never finished.

I think it would make sense that these should be done only by regular posters, meaning people that post regularly.  You don't want people to get interested in the thread and then have to sit around waiting weeks for updates because the person running it only shows up once in a while.  That would kill the fun of it.  If you aren't around to do updates every 5-7 days, what is the point?



Title: Re: The Discography discussion thread
Post by: jingle.boy on May 10, 2014, 09:07:53 AM
I searched "discography" for thread titles, and there were a few.  I'll link those.

Agree on premise of what you're saying Kev... though so long as someone stays committed and provides regular updates, I don't think leading a discussion should be limited to just 'regular posters'.  IMO, the purpose of 'leading' the thread/discussion (WHOEVER does it for a given band) is simply to foster the discussion with some anecdotes, insights, experiences and/or stories etc..  ytserush might not even be interested in committing to lead the discussion on Rush, but actively participate. 

My suggestion was just to ensure whoever leads it does as good a job as Kev/Bob have done in their discog threads.

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I think not being around everyday probably disqualifies me.
Besides, the anal level of detail would likely crush any good that would come from it if I do it.

You're on the list.  Given there's only a few on the 'coming soon' list, I suggest anyone start whenever they're ready.  If this grows like the Roulette and Top 50 series', then we'll start using a first come/first serve method.

Post by: Elite on May 12, 2014, 01:49:05 AM
The only bands I could think of that I could lead a discussion with are Shadow Gallery, Pain of Salvation and Haken. Unfortunately Haken is off limits, due to having only 3 albums and the Haken thread seems to be flowing nicely anyway. I would like doing a thread on Shadow Gallery, but given the marginal interest on these forums, I'm not sure whether that's a good option (and Doc and Nick would hate me for taking the band probably ;) ), so I could do a Pain of Salvation one if people are interest. I could line it up up to have it run with the Survivor I plan on doing again as well. They have 8 studio albums and some other stuff, as well as a very interesting development as a band. If that's all right with you, I'll gladly do it when there's room.

Post by: KevShmev on May 12, 2014, 09:38:15 AM
I'd love to see someone do one on Queen, although I am not sure I am the one to do it. There has to be someone here who knows a lot of the ins and outs of every Queen album, to where they could do them justice.

I wouldn't mind doing a U2 one eventually, but I am not sure how high the interest would be for that one.

I thought about doing Queen, and also Rush.  Both are bands I've followed for a long time, pretty rabidly at first and then less enthusiastically later, and doing a discography would have given me a good reason to dig more into their later material.  I have each band's entire catalogue.  But there are probably people more knowledgeable about each of them than I.  Well, probably not Rush.  But there's a lot more work involved, there, so I'll just let someone else do it.

I'm in as a follower for pretty much anything, though.

The problem there is I am not familiar at all with the inner workings of the band and whatnot, so I wouldn't be able to offer any inside information, so to speak.  Not saying I wouldn't do it, but just saying, it'd be pretty vanilla.  And I am not familiar with much of the 80s stuff, outside of Audi-Visions and a few songs from the other albums.
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion thread
Post by: Orbert on May 12, 2014, 11:09:52 PM
It might not be everyone's bag, but you could do what I did: augment your own knowledge of the band by doing some research prior to each installment.  I learned a lot about each of the bands for which I did discographies that way.  Even just hitting Wikipedia, AMG, and the band's website often yielded a lot of good information.  I'd mull it over for a day or two, then synthesize some kind of writeup.

I mentioned in one of the FK threads about people doing this discography thing for other bands, and the one I was hoping for was Spock's Beard. I see that's in the "future" list, so I shall definitely be following that one with interest when/should it happen.

Blue Öyster Cult could be a decent discography thread too. I know that Kev certainly has a great deal of knowledge of their output (not to volunteer him, but  :biggrin:) People are often surprised at the breadth of their music and the history of contributors/producers is quite fascinating. Just a thought

I'm along, I love these things.  Not sure I could really "lead" one as good as the ones already done for any band other than DT, but I love reading them.

Well, maybe the Allman Brothers Band, but that seems outside the norm of listening habits around here.

I feel the same. I feel like I should like BOC more than I do. Following the discog might change that maybe. I do love the Marshall Plan track from Cultosaurus.

Hell, sign me up for Devin Townsend and various assorted projects based on whichever ones I feel like covering (I'll try to keep it under 20). My one request is that someone let me jump up several slots so I can do it over the summer rather than have to worry about it during school.

I'd love to do a Devin Townsend one, but that fucker has a ton of albums, even more if we include his time with Strapping Young Lad. I know way more about Devin's work than I should, so I'm not worried about making it interesting to follow.

I think it would make the most sense to feature his albums he has done primarily as a solo artist (whether it was called Devin Townsend, Devin Townsend Band or Devin Townsend Project).  Strapping Young Lad is a whole other animal and shouldn't be included, IMO.

I feel like all of the SYL albums are counterparts to whatever he was doing as a solo artist at the time (Heavy = Punky Bruster, City = Ocean Machine, SYL = Accelerated Evolution, Alien = Synchestra, and The New Black kind of sits on its own), but you're probably right. There's just way too much shit. By my count, there's the 6 DTP albums (if we're counting Casualties), and 7 solo albums, so 13 really isn't all that bad.So, I'm willing to start whenever, but I'd really really like it if I could jump ahead in the line to at least first or second so I have a fighting chance of getting it done over the summer. If not, that's cool too but I might have to back out if shit gets too hectic.

I'm a Fripp newbie, and right now there's nothing I want more than a King Crimson thread. I would go to sllep at night dreaming of the next one.

Also...and understand it would be daunting...but also INCREDIBLY popular... Uncle Frank himself. The only problem would be that you may have to assign decades to people...and that would suck.

We should just have Wey and Debra hold a "Zappa Class"....we could start with "Understanding the mighty Zappa 101...in which there is heresy."  Think you guys would be up to teaching a class? Maybe Debra could do Zappa while Rai does The Dead. It would all make a BIG HUGE BOWL OF AWESOME SAUCE.   :coolio :hat :xbones :yarr

I think it should be fine to start Floyd immediately as well.  Assuming the Devin one is up and going here soon, too, that'd be three, and since they all come from different styles - Devin is metal, Floyd is psychedelic/prog, and B.O.C. is rock/hard rock - it's a good mixture of ones running at the same time.  Thats my two cents.  :coolio

I'm curious to see how you start off the Floyd one, since Piper is their first disc, but they had a bunch of singles that pre-dated the first album, which I'd like to see addressed and discussed.  Time will tell. :)

Now that we have 3 underway, let's do the next batches in order of priority from who signed up.  With a dozen+ albums from each of the existing acts, and a week or so per album... well it'll be deep into the summer before myself, Scrop and Marc are up.  So, no reason why the three of us shouldn't start to build our content over the next few months, so that we're all ready to go when the current three are done.

If I can write up one album a week, ánd there would be enough interest, I'd totally do it though. Would be an awesome way to do a new Zappathon again. I did one about 2 years back, listen to as many Zappa as possible, following his album list, but even that took me about 5 months. And there's been at least 5 new albums since then.

I had the same problem, I'd lent Stage 3 from my uncle, and then downloaded everything at once. But that was way too much to handle. So I started with Freak Out too and worked my way through his discography. The 60's and 70's became instant favourites, but the 80's stuff is still not really among my favourites.

Well, I'm looking forward to this.

If you did it, I would try as hard as humanly possible to listen and at least say something for every album. Might be tough for other people who didn't already download everything to get in on the action because I don't think much of his stuff is on Spotify, and that's how people tend to follow discog threads, I think.

Totally with you on the overall progression of his music, as well. Everything up to Joe's Garage (that I've heard) is pure sex, but the stuff that followed hasn't done too much for me.

I've thought about this for a while, and I just noticed an omission on the list of the bands that I find quite striking, given their popularity on this forum: Symphony X. So if everyone's cool with it, I'd probably rather do an SX discussion than a Trivium one, as I'm pretty sure the former would attract more attention. Probably.11

Sorry for switching around so much, I guess. Last time, I promise.

I'm personally not that into Trivium at all. SX is someone I at least have a passing interest in. I own V and found it a bit too cheese whiz for my taste, but then again, I've been told there are better albums, so I'd be at least curious about an album by album analysis.
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion thread
Post by: Scorpion on June 01, 2014, 08:50:09 PM

Count me in as interested in SX as well. I get the feeling that this is a band I should be way more familiar with and a Discog thread would be a great excuse.

Also, I'd like to chime in my EXTREME interest in Zappa (obviously) although I'm sure that I've heard all of the official releases at one point or another and about 1/4 of it doesn't interest me much. Sure, I recognise the brilliance of all of his output yet some of it just isn't my glass of gin.

I'm looking forward to Kansas and Rush as well.

It isn't like I love all of his work (earlier today I gave my thoughts on Thing Fish in the Zappa Thread), but I'd be happy if there's a number of people trying to comment on every single album.

Ditto on all of this. I'm super familiar with Rush already, and Kansas I used to be pretty familiar with when I was getting in to prog about a decade ago, and I ended up getting their whole discography. I really enjoy their first 8 albums or so.

As for Symphony X, I have all of their studio albums, but I really only listen to four or five of them. A discography thread of them will definitely help me flesh out their work for me since I've never given them their due attention.

It turns out that I completely overestimated my knowledge of the man. I looked up the Zappa discography on Wikipedia today and I calculated that I own eight albums and am familiar enough with another four albums that I could sing along with every moment. There are roughly another ten albums, prior to the 1990's, that I've heard up to two times but have not heard in years and can't recall more than impressions. That means that prior to his death, I'd consumed a whopping 36% of his music... :omg: :lol

I'd say I could actually use a discography thread but I may not live that long!

Personally, I think we should only have three running at a time.  I know it doesn't seem too hard to be listening to three albums every few days, but not everyone is here every single day, life gets in the way preventing people from really digesting the albums. If we are to use this outlet to not only discuss a discography, but attract new fans, I think three at a time is the right number.

Also,
Now that we have 3 underway, let's do the next batches in order of priority from who signed up.  With a dozen+ albums from each of the existing acts, and a week or so per album... well it'll be deep into the summer before myself, Scrop and Marc are up.  So, no reason why the three of us shouldn't start to build our content over the next few months, so that we're all ready to go when the current three are done.

By all means, start your research and writeuos, but my vote is to hold off on actually starting the discussion until 1 of the current guys is done.

And Scrop... I'd be all over a SX discussion.  Way more so than Trivium. Shall I modify your chosen band?

However if people are getting into one or more of the artists through these threads, having more than 3 could be overkill. It my discourage someone from following or getting into an artist.
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion thread
Post by: KevShmev on June 05, 2014, 01:44:15 PM
Yep, that's the thing.  For example, if someone wanted to do a 4th one right now, it being a band very different from those currently being featured, I'd say go for it.  You just don't want too many similar-type artists going at the same time.
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion thread
Post by: jingle.boy on June 05, 2014, 02:58:23 PM
I know I'm not the only one following all three.  While I already know the PF albums, BOC and Devy are new to me. Even stacking on SB (whom I know) I do want to listen while participating, so a fourth will be a little taxing.

I guess the question is this... Are we more concerned with giving people enough to be interested in (for example, Jay's only following 1, so one more isn't a big deal), or are we more concerned about overloading people (eg, me and Hef)?

The latter potentially limits participation more so than the former. That's my only point.

Chatter seems to have died down here, so I thought I'd throw out a couple of requests to see if there are any takers?

Ozzy
Dio
Rainbow

Those are a few of the acts that I just never explored for some unknown reason.

About Rainbow, I'm a big fan and I bloody love Dio era and Stranger In Us All album, but I actively dislike almost everything they've done with Turner, so I'm not the person you would look for this job. However, if anyone hosts this one, I promise I'll be down to discuss everything.

The problem with that would be that there is little consensus on what his best albums are, especially when it comes to PT, so leaving any of them out would seem weird.  I think someone doing just PT makes the most sense.  He only has three solo albums and all three have been discussed a ton in the SW thread over the last few years as each has been released, so it's probably too soon for those.  Someone doing a PT discography thread makes the most sense, at this point.

Whoa whoa there Tex.  Kansas is at the bottom of the list  I've been starting my Zeppelin writeups, and I think Marc and Tommy Boy have been as well.  Now that we're underway, I think it's only fair we do things on a first come, first serve basis - unless otherwise stated by the person who signed up.  I'm still probably two weeks away from being far enough along to really start, so I'll defer to Spock's or S-X, and do Zeppelin when the Floyd or Devy discussions are done.

Orbert's discographies are the gold standard for sure! I've read them all and I've used the Genesis thread several times while trying to get into the band. His insights are invaluable for pointing out things I would miss on my own. It's about time to attempt my annual Genesis trek so I'll be using it again.

I wonder...I suppose we should have checked with Orbert before we started this project. I mean it was his idea for sure and some of these discographies could have been in his plans. For instance, Pink Floyd.

Hey, Orbert, if we stole your thunder with any of these bands, I'm truly sorry! A little after the fact, yes?

Also, I'd like to apologize for not doing your tradition justice with my BÖC discography--it's pretty embarrassing for me to go back and read it in comparison to, say, your Yes thread.  :blush  Still, I did about the best I could, which is about all I can expect I suppose.

No worries.  I don't "own" the discography concept or anything.  I just wanted to do something a little more in-depth, and share some of the trivia that's been accumulating in my head for the past 40 years.  This place has kept me sane through some tough times, and I felt like I needed to give something back.  Also, I'm a teacher and a writer, so I figured if I was going to do it, it had to be well-structured and consistent from the start or I myself wouldn't be happy with it.  The Yes Discography was first, as they're still my favorite band, but you can see how the discography goes through a few tweaks in format and approach at first.  But there's no set format; the forum might have certain expectations, but each writer has to do it in a way that suits them.

Will do.  It should be soon though - within 3-4 weeks I suspect.  I suspect UMH will be done with Devy next (2 albums I think), then Scrop will go with Symphony X.  When the Gentlemen is done with Floyd (only 3 albums to go + some solo work potentially), you're up with either SB or Morse - your choice.  I would suggest/recommend that you only do one at a time, and we push the other one further down the list?  That would give you and your followers a break.

So almost a month from now? I'm good with that. That'll give me the rest of this month to prepare a bit, then after my busy weekend at Otakon (August 7-10), I'll have time to finish initial preparations for my first few write-ups.

As for my Discography, I'm going with Spock's Beard, and at the point where Neal leaves (between Snow and Feel Euphoria), I'll make a note about his departure and plan to discuss his relevant solo career in another thread at another time. Since both SB and Neal are working on new albums for this/next year, it'll be a good time to do these discographies to get people interested in them as SB's 12th album is in recording, and Neal is about to release a new singer/songwriter album, then possibly a new prog album next Spring/Summer (and given the rate of these discussions, I'm sure my SB one will go well into October, then I'll hope to start the Neal Morse one sometime in the Winter (January would be good) to help gear up for whatever he has coming out in 2015.

It's probably a great idea to write while the mood strikes you and have them banked away...especially with how many you'll be asked to do.

I was thinking about that the other day and thought, "If I was Nihil, I think I'd try and figure out a way to do write-ups by years." You'd have some write-ups that would encompass two or three records per post but if you gave them a week or ten days for discussion it might work. Still, you'd be hosting the discussion for a year even by doing that!  :)

Of course, the problem with that is Frank's output could vary radically from one album to the next so that wouldn't make it conducive to a single post.

Either way, I'm looking forward to it!

That's an interesting idea. I could stitch albums together in a single post. Not by year per-se, but by similar albums right before or after. (Absolutely Free and We're Only In It and Mothermania come to mind. Lumpy Gravy sits in between but has nothing to do, stylistically, with those albums)

I don't think there's a single thing related to Zappa that could qualify as "simple" or "efficient," let alone a thorough analysis of his entire discography. It's going to be a hell of a slog, no matter how it's done. I'll be there though. I swear on my life I will try as hard as I possibly can to at least contribute SOMETHING to every discussion.

It's a very good idea to start writing now though. I've had several times where I realize "oh fuck me it's been a week" and I have to rush through the write-ups.

I'm probably posting the first update of the SX discussion on the tenth, because I then leave until the 15th, which is when I will be posting the second one, which should work out nicely.

Go ahead, I'm not quite ready for my SB discography yet. Work and life have kept me busy, but rest assured, I WILL get to it this month. Then I'll try to update once a week from there on out. I just need a solid day to start my first couple write-ups, and I really wanted to read through some of Neal's biography first to get some info ont he beginnings of the band.

After a few days of thinking it, I've realized that I may not be the most indicated person to do the Anathema discography thread. Maybe ? or Zantera are better than me for this, since they have known the band for much longer time.
Sure, I can do it. :)

So with Symphony X going now, there's still an open spot by my calculations. Who's taking it?

I'd like to, but work has been tiring lately and I haven't had a solid chance to really sit down and do any of my preliminary write-ups. So someone can go ahead of me if they'd like. The SB thread will have to wait until the next available slot is open, but I will likely start my write-ups next week when I finally have a few days off work.

Unless no one else is ready or willing to go, I can start next week.

I would love to run a thread like this, because I've been following the others (even if I don't listen to the artist) and they are all very fun and enlightening. You learn a lot. But I thought a bit about who I would do it with, because it's not fun if the discography is too small. So I thought maybe I could do one for Neil Young, if there's any interest by others to follow a thread about him. He has a huge discography though, I think 35-36 albums (and that's not counting his outside work with Buffalo Springfield or Crosby, Stills, Nash), but I know I'm good at keeping a steady pace and keep frequent updates, so I feel confident I would do a good job with it. Only his "solo" stuff though, so not albums released under other names or other bands. But again, only if people are interested in following it. Because a list with 35-36 albums (or more) is quite huge, and if there's only 2 people interested it might be a waste.  :P

It was a long shot. I know there are some fans on the forum who enjoy the classic albums, but I don't know if there are many other than myself who checked out his middle albums/the weird ones.

Hey Jimmy, have you thought about doing Agalloch? I'm pretty sure there'd be quite a following, and their discography is not that small, but not impossibly large either.
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion Tracker Thread
Post by: jingle.boy on September 09, 2014, 07:41:33 AM
I personally think like 10-15 albums is the sweet spot for being enough that a) the band has a following, b) there might be some albums not every fan knows, and c) isn't too onerous to lead/follow.  Anything more than 20 could get highly repetitive.  Rush is probably the only exception, and only get up to 20+ with all the live and DVD releases.
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion Tracker Thread
Post by: KevShmev on September 09, 2014, 11:45:51 AM
I agree, although I should mention that as I go through Rush's catalogue, I will only briefly feature the live albums.  In other words, while the studio albums will get 5-7 days for discussion and whatnot, the live albums I'll probably only give a day or two.

Yea I'm wondering how Zappa will go because of that. :lol I'm going to try and follow as much as I can, but there are some albums here and there that I'm not too familiar with/don't like enough to care. I imagine a lot of fans are the same way, so it'll be interesting to see how that will turn out.

I'm a bit more familiar with them now, and wouldn't mind doing a two-person discography thread along with him, with both our opinions on all the albums, because he prefers their earlier stuff, and I'm a sucker for the later albums. I don't know, it could be interesting, and it would leave Ulver to another person.

Update on my Spock's Beard discussion:
I am *still* going to do this, despite delays and such. I really want to read Neal's Testimony book first, at least, up to where he departs from SB and the Snow sessions, just so I can include his personal insight into the formation and his duration with the band.

I am also delaying myself a bit more so I can start the discussion and time it with the release of the band's 12th album, although at the rate they're going, I'm sure the final album won't be Rich-mixed until later NEXT month (or even March), which means a summer release date...so if I start sooner, I guess I'd have to revive the thread once we finish the discussion on BNADS.

I also want to do another SB Survivor, so I was hoping to time the Survivor to go in tandem with the discussion, so as to encourage people following the thread to participate in the Survivor.

If I get around to read the book soon, I'm hoping to start the discussion and Survivor by the end of the month, which will give me plenty of time to read and start my write-ups for the albums to discuss. Hopefully by then, we'll have more information on the next SB album!

-Marc.

I may have gotten confused somewhere along the way, but Sacul is listed in the OP as doing Ulver. Originally I think he offered to do Anathema, along with ?, but he then decided not to. He later offered to do Ulver, but then more recently said that he wouldn't be able to do anything (due to roulettes and other things popping up).

I'm only bringing this up so that if ? is still interested, he isn't forgotten. I'm chomping at the bit to follow and discuss Anathema's discography  :lol

I'd follow Incubus. Loved Make Yourself/Morning View/Crow back in the day and liked bits and pieces of SCIENCE, and still listen to some songs every so often. I never did give Fungus much of a chance though, and other than a single listen of Light Grenades when it came out I haven't explored anything beyond Crow.

I was re-reading this thread trying to get some idea of a discography that I could do when I saw this.

I thought about doing Queen, *snip*

I think everyone has done a great job of presenting these discographies and it's been a lot of fun but I must say, Orbert is really the gold standard with his original threads. I re-read them on occasion just for the entertainment value or when I try (again) to get into Genesis. I'd be very interested if he picked up his professors coat, stood on the lectern and took us through the Queen discography.

Any interest, Orbert?

I don't know if there would be any interest in a Pain of Salvation discussion thread at the moment, but I could start it whenever one the previous threads has finished. (Though it's probably a good idea to postpone it until I return from my holidays in august.)

I'm not sure how much it matters, but I finally finished going back over my discographies and updating links to all the album covers and other images.  Basically, I was using Facebook as a poor-man's Imgur, but Facebook apparently changes the links every once in a while, probably to prevent people from doing what I was doing, so most of the links were broken.

I ended up re-reading a lot of them, and the ensuing discussions.  Holy shit, I write a lot!

Anyway, I think I got them all, and now I feel better about life in general. :)

Free time with an upcoming half term approaches me. If there's any interest, I've been listening to a lot of Van der Graaf Generator recently. I can do that over the coming weeks if anyone wants it. It won't end up like the Mars Volta one. I promise.

Yeah and I have a lot of free time coming up. I wouldn't necessarily say I'll do every single Rick album ever in the history of Wakeman, (i.e. the collaborations and stuff with Strawbs and stuff pre-musical noteworthiness) but I'd certainty do the main body of his work.

Is anyone on the hook for a Gentle Giant discography?  They're another band I've been listening to forever, and I didn't see them in the OP list.  I could probably do one.
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion Tracker Thread
Post by: hefdaddy42 on December 28, 2015, 07:47:01 AM
That would be interesting.  I am (sadly) not very familiar with them, so it would be an interesting read, and a good introduction, I'm sure.

Other classic bands that would be neat to see covered would be Camel or Caravan.
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion Tracker Thread
Post by: Kwyjibo on December 28, 2015, 07:53:38 AM
They (Gentle Giant) are on my "to-listen-to-sometime-in-the-future" list, as I've heard a lot of good things. Maybe such a thread could help in moving them further up my list.

And then, an Orbert discography thread is always worth reading.

Sorry to reply so late (I joined the forum just two weeks ago). I'm not a fan, but when I was 14/15, my best friends listened to a lot of Kerplunk!, Insomniac and Warning:, so I got to know and like a lot of their songs. Nimrod features some cool music too! And I used to play all of American Idiot on guitar with a friend, so I know that album very well.

I'm not too familiar with other albums, though, so to answer your question: yes, I'm interested. :)
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion Tracker Thread
Post by: SebastianPratesi on February 19, 2016, 12:42:58 PM
If there's enough interest, I'd be glad to start a thread for Soda Stereo, a band from my country (I talked a bit about them here: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=45968.msg2099969#msg2099969 (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=45968.msg2099969#msg2099969)). They have 7 studio albums (and some live stuff and EPs), so it wouldn't be too long. I was in a huge phase in my early teens, so I know their discography inside out.

As their career progressed, their albums sounded extremely different from each other, and they had a vast amount of influences (hard rock, ska, new wave, electronic music, britpop, grunge, funk). I think you might enjoy getting to know them.

I should say that A7X can be removed from the 'currently running' list.

Alright, so as some of you guys know already, I'm planning to run a big Arjen Lucassen-related Survivor in Polls / Survivors section in 2017, which will include all Ayreon albums and most of his side project albums (not counting the various spin-off survivors and some other content I'll need to check with mods about before I'm going to get into details). I'm laying the schedule for it right now and it looks like it will take the whole year with threads popping up on daily basis.

The thing is, 2017 is more than four months away, and I'd like to get as many people as I can on board, so it seems reasonable to run Ayreon and Arjen Lucassen-related projects Discography Thread to maybe get some people into Arjen's music, nudge people into discovering some Arjen albums they've never bothered with or just to enjoy relistening to some great records Arjen has put out over the years. And after it's done, maybe I'll get more people in the P/S section for the survivor thing. Or maybe not, but it's worth it in any case.

I've checked with Chad about this (since he called dibs on Arjen's discography thread earlier) and he gave me a green light. I'll need about two weeks to prepare enough material so that I don't fall behind but manage to maintain decent pace instead. With more or less one album a week schedule, I'm planning to finish this right before Christmas.

Is there enough interest in this?

So much yes! I wanted to check other Ayreon albums and Arjen's projects since forever but I couldn't make myself to do it :P Right now I know only The Human Equation and The Diary. I think I listened to The Theory of Everything and Space Metal once and 01011001 few times (about 5 years ago, I think :D).
Also, you should link or copy your post in Arjen Thread, not many people open this thread (I wouldn't if I didn't see it was last post in GMD)

Thank you and done.

I've found these threads really help to get you into the band / artist if you have some time each week to listen to the respective album and if you have enough dedication. I've followed Anathema Discography thread and really enjoyed it, not to mention discovered some great albums along the way.

Well, we've kinda discussed this through PM shortly and I still wouldn't be able to tell you what a single song sounds like apart from "Betrayed" (the one Parama sent me) but the magnitude of this whole Ayreon project has got me intrigued and I might join the ride somewhere along the way.

On another note, I just decided I want to do a discography discussion thread for Novembre. Would fire it up a few months from now (maybe in November? :lol) if there's a spot left.

I'd like to know if anyone would be interested in this, regardless of whether they're familiar with the band. I know one or two DTF members who are into this band but haven't fully explored them, but I feel like a lot of you would like some of their output and could use this thread to check them out. I don't want to do a discog thread for only one or two people.

No need to add me to the list yet, but I think I will do this. As I said, I'm pretty laid up this week. I feel like if I can get a good intro down, and knock off the pre Schenker era this week, then I will be happy. I'll quietly try and put this together over the next few months.

I just did the writeup for the first album, and have the next two outlined.

Not at all. After Kiske left, I gave up on them. Over the past few years, I have pretty much gotten the rest of their discog. But I honestly haven't paid any attention to the Deris Era.

You're talking about making a Helloween discography thread? I'm familiar with Their discography very well, I'm fan since I was Young kid and heard Walls Of Jericho. But, I don't know if I could managed it, I would have to remember some most important parts of Their history which is quite complicated especially in Hansen/Kiske era. I could give it a try soon...I think so.

I'm thinking about a form of it, but I think I'll go with a normal album by album runthrough with some insides in the band. Have to prepare it, but I want to do this. I love Helloween since I was kid, when I heard Guardians it took from the first time :) And I bought (to be precise, my Father did ;) )that album on cassette, only because of the cover  ;) From then, Helloween is one of my favourite bands of all times.

After reading Mosh's great great great detailed posts regarding everything related to Iron Maiden so far and seeing how descriptive the Bruce stuff has been so far, I would like to see a discography thread of Chris Cornell being made covering his entire music life that ranges from his early days to Temple of the Dog to Soundgarden to Audioslave to his solo stuff (yes, including Scream as well).

I know I can't do this justice, since I wasn't even born yet when he did Temple of the Dog and everything pre-Badmotorfinger, and I'm a casual fan at best, but I always like what I hear from Chris Cornell from all of his stuff, and I would like to see a thread of his stuff being thoroughly discussed.  Can anyone here do it after the Iron Maiden discography is done?

Instead of Ulver, I think in a couple of months I'll be ready to start making a full Steven Wilson discography thread, covering all his body of work, that is: PT, Solo, No-Man, Blackfield, Storm Corrosion, and even I.E.M., Bass Communion, Karma and Altamont if there's enough interest. I'd cover main albums, EPs and live releases, and also rare EPs, singles, collabs, etc. only if people request it :P I'd also revive the survivor along the way, maybe even start it over if necessary or just following it.

I would be so down to read that thread Sacul
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion Tracker Thread
Post by: Sacul on September 30, 2017, 02:27:21 PM
Great! I've been planning it a bit and was thinking about going from each project in the following order, from most popular to least known: Porcupine Tree -> Solo -> Storm Corrosion -> Blackfield -> No-Man -> Bass Communion/Continuum -> I.E.M. -> Altamont -> Karma. And maybe Pride of Passion if I can find a rip or something, shit's so obscure  :lol .

I'd review every official release under each project and classifying every entry in one of three categories: Essential, Optional, Obsessive. Essential is just main albums, not counting live ones nor EPs nor anything else, perfect for the newcomers. Optional includes most EPs, live records, and even a compilation or two of discarded material/outtakes. Obsessive would focus on obscure releases, such as Japan-only tracks, rare singles, demos, collaboration and production work with other artists, etc.

This would enable me to chronologically go through all releases and tie up all the writeups better. Essential releases would be posted one per week to let people have time to digest them, as usual, and was thinking of assigning less time for the other categories, like 5 days for Optional and only 3 for Obsessive, as those will include shorter writeups and would likely incite less debate than the rest. I will provide streaming and purchase links for each release when available. I would also consider hosting a listening session on plug.dj each week.

This project will take a long time but I hope it will help folks get into some of his wonderful work. Any feedback and suggestions are welcome  :D

So, I guess I allegedly was going to start a Neal Morse Discography thread at some point, but life got busy. I'm not sure if anyone would want one at this point, or if I would even be the most qualified to start one, but if there's any interest, I may start some write-ups in my spare time and start it this fall once I've gotten most of my write-ups done ahead of time. I've been spinning a lot of Neal Morse(-related) albums in my commutes lately, so the albums are fairly fresh in my mind and I wouldn't be opposed to doing a discography thread in the coming weeks.

I've thought about it a bit more since seeing you quote my 4-month old post about an idea I had over a year ago... I have been in a very Neal-Morse-mood lately, so I may try doing some write-ups, but I feel the pressure of trying to do something as great as Orbert has for his own discography discussion threads. I really wanted to do a lot more prep-work for mine, like read Neal's Testimony book (which I actually own... I've just never gotten around to reading it), to gain more insight into the history and musical background of the man himself. I'd also like to re-watch any and all DVD documentaries he's release, from his SB days, to the stuff with his solo albums, all the way through TA, FC and NMB. It would be a huge under-taking, but if there's a lot of excitement for it, I will honestly give it a go this year. I may not start it until closer to the summer (when work dies down for me), but that gives me plenty of time (3-4 months) to prep and do what I can to make my write-ups and discussion-primers really good.

If anyone else has been waiting on me for doing this, thank you for your patience. I know there are several others on here who are probably as big, if not bigger fans of Neal than me (looking at you, Kev), who could probably do a discography thread some justice, but if you're willing to wait for me just a bit longer, I'll begin working on one in earnest.

I'm planning on starting the AC/DC album discussion/listening party thread later on tonight. 

Still not sure if I'm going to have the pre-album days as its own discussion, or just include it as a prologue for High Voltage '75.   There is some interesting beginnings.   Even a TV appearance with a different lead singer before Bon Scott joined.   But I'll ponder over it and make up my mind later.

Gateway
The Tangent
Phish

I would follow Phish (good luck, brave soul!) but I don't know the other two, so I guess that makes them each a Maybe.

Post by: darkshade on November 15, 2020, 04:02:48 AM
I would follow Phish (good luck, brave soul!) but I don't know the other two, so I guess that makes them each a Maybe.

Phish currently has 17 traditional studio albums, 2 traditional live albums, 3 live-only albums of original material, two non-official studio albums, and of course, the band has released dozens and dozens of other full show live releases, sound check jams, secret sets, every one of their shows from the last 19 years is officially released on the band's websites, and recordings in various quality of roughly 90% of all the shows they played from the 80s and 90s easily circulate for free to download online.

Considering they are known as a live band, and since many of their songs can only be found in live performances, I thought about going through the studio albums, with a corresponding live album/show every few releases that best represents the time period, but also includes as many live-only compositions as possible. I wouldn't start that until we got up to the band's first official live album, which was released after the band's 5th album. I would find it interesting as I haven't listened to the band's studio efforts in many years.

The Tangent are similar in some ways to The Flower Kings, proggy, hard, heavy riffs, mixed with loud synths but they have a jazzier edge and British vocals, not unlike Canterbury scene like The Soft Machine or Caravan.

Gateway was the jazz trio band of John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, and Jack DeJohnette. Technically they have only 4 albums, but the trio appears on 3 other albums so that beefs it up to 7 albums. So that wouldn't be the longest discography thread.

So I'm thinking about listening through a bunch of albums I haven't listened to in a bit, and I thought I'd get DTF in on it.

Basically, I'll do a "duel" discography thread: a Mike Portnoy discography thread that merges with a Neal Morse discography thread. So no post-Neal Spock's Beard, or post-Portnoy Dream Theater. Also not trying to go through every album Portnoy has ever played on, just sticking to Dream Theater related studio albums and Neal Morse related studio material, and only prog-related albums for Neal.

Chronologically going back and forth (based on release date) between:

* Dream Theater's first 3 albums
* 1990s DT, Liquid Tension Experiment (including the 2 Trio albums), Neal era Spock's Beard + his first solo album
* 2000s DT, Neal solo, and Transatlantic
* 2010s NM solo, The Neal Morse Band, Flying Colors
* 2020s Transatlantic, JP solo, and LTE3

Who's down?
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion Tracker Thread
Post by: ReaperKK on August 02, 2021, 06:09:10 PM
I'd be down for that. There is so much of Mike's work I haven't listened to outside of DT that I think it'd be fun to explore.

She is a very talented guitar player that does a lot of solo acoustic stuff (similar to Preston Reed's music), she also dabbled in some post-rock music as well. If you've listened to the Foo Fighters song "The Ballad of the Beaconsfield miners" she is playing on there; she also did a couple of songs for August Rush (those are her hands that are playing in the acoustic scene). Here are a couple of good songs that represents a large chunk of her work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo2mLu306w0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U_prRNXG4w

Hopefully people will notice this thread has been bumped.  Lethean and I are interested in co-hosting a Katatonia discussion thread.  I've never done or even read one before, so I'll have to glance at a few to get the gist of things, but it sounds like it's an album a week, which would be a good 2-3 month immersion in Katatonia, which I'm sure fans of theirs would enjoy, and in a few other threads there were a few people who indicated that they were curious about them, so this might be a way to dive in headfirst. 

As to my qualifications, I've been listening to them for over two decades, they're arguably my favorite band, I've seen them live, and I've heard all of their material, including EPs and B-sides, the meat of it countless times so I know it fairly well.  Lethean hopefully will pipe in at some point, and I'll see if this thread gets many responses.  If not, he or I can just start a new dedicated thread for it and see what interest it receives. 
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion Tracker Thread
Post by: Lethean on October 26, 2022, 10:52:18 AM
I have been listening for less time than LithoJazzoSphere, but around 13 years total and ten years of obsession.  I've also seen them live and have all of the studio albums, b-sides, EP material (mostly as part of album rereleases or compilations), and live albums/dvds. 

This would be a lot of fun for me to do, hopefully existing fans would enjoy participating and maybe some new listeners can come along for the ride.

So between this thread and the normal Katatonia chat thread we have so far have Kwyjibo, nick_z, TAC, twosuitsluke, and The Realm interested in listening along.  Hopefully more to come, but already is probably enough interest to give this a whirl.  With the discography split, Lethean would be up to bat first for Dance of December Souls.  How soon do we want to start the first week of listening?

I will as well.

I was thinking we time it to end by January 20th when Sky Void of Stars is released, and everyone who's been following can listen to the new album.  With 11 studio albums, we should be able to take a couple weeks off as well if needed for holidays and stuff.

I'll try to start Monday if I can, but it might be a little later than that.

Technical question - how do I post album covers? (Or any pictures really) :)
Title: Re: The Discography Discussion Tracker Thread
Post by: LithoJazzoSphere on October 28, 2022, 01:20:44 PM
Find the URL source of the image you want (something like right clicking and selecting "open image in new tab" might work).  Click "reply" to the bottom right of the last post for the full set of controls, click on the icon right under the B icon (for bold), which should say "insert image" if you hover the mouse over it.  Copy and paste the URL into the pop-up box and you should be good to go.

OK, that's simple enough.  In the past I'd tried to somehow upload my own pictures but didn't need to enough to really try to figure out how.  But for album covers I can just use existing images.

Ultimetalhead did a great job, but he left out a lot, and Dev's been busy since then. I'd love to do my own take on this starting from the beginning and covering EVERYTHING. And I do mean EVERYTHING.
I'm talking Grey Skies, Noisescapes, Strapping Young Lad, guest appearances, bonus discs, live albums, Contain Us. You name it.
I made a list of everything I'd like to cover and it's a whopping 62 releases. Not everything warrants its own post of course, and some stuff would be lumped together. For example: Epicloud/Epiclouder/The Retinal Circus would all be one post, all of the Quarantine-era stuff would be one post, etc.

It's a heavy undertaking I'm prepared to undertake, but obviously if there's no interest, then I won't waste my time.

Well, both, though PetroDragonic is a fair amount better.

I've never clicked on this thread before. I've seen the individual band stuff but never clicked here for some reason. So I go to the first post and see this:

Coming Soon (allegedly):

GentlemanofDread/Coheed & Cambria

So I think, "Hell year, lets do it". Only to see this was posted in 2015, and the person hasn't even been online since 2015  :lol

I would get started with Radiohead but I'm on a mandatory work placement that's just eating my life up. (I'd also like to do a Coheed and Cambria one in the future too)
