An attempt to see if I get this. Here are some albums which strike me as "avant-pop" (and they're all great):
Al Green, The Belle Album (1977) Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band Meets King Pennet (1978) Chic, Risque (1979) Elvis Costello, Get Happy!! (1980) Au Pairs, Playing With a Different Sex (1981) The Clash, Sandinista! (1981) Associates, Sulk (1982) Prince, 1999 (1982) Public Enemy, Fear of a Black Planet (1990) Son of Bazerk, Bazerk Bazerk Bazerk (1991) De La Soul, De La Soul Is Dead (1991) Scritti Politti, White Bread Black Beer (2006) Do these count or are these experiments more 'avant': David Byrne (and Brian Eno), The Catherine Wheel (1981) Pet Shop Boys, Battleship Potemkin (2005) Last edited by TrueFaith77; 09-18-2007 at 07:21 PM.. |

Njood spoons EUPHORIA!!
That's a great one, shouldn't have forgotten it. But no New Order? Your faith certainly isn't true. PS to Gerald: The day you'll actually list something mainly machine-driven, that's the day I'll eat my shorts.

Well... which album would best represent this avant-pop cred of New Order? I suppose Substance with its extended mixes and disc-2 remixes/b-sides displays this, plus that's kind of an interesting way to collect an artist's work, so even it's format is "avant-pop." And, yes, it contains the greatest song of all time. But really all New Order albums are avant-pop, no? But what about the first Electronic album? That should be on there too (though I prefer the last two Electronic albums -- all three mighty -- but they strike me as less "avant-pop"). |

Oh and Face of Glass. . . I love Hats by Blue Nile. That's my favorite make-out album!

But, I said kate bush's the dreaming was a fave of mine. Lindsey's Go insane could/should be on this list. (although Law and Order would be the first LB-album to match the criteria). And the Model by Kraftwerk. You're alowed to eat a clean pair.

Sounds great! I'm getting quite excited about hearing it now. I'll just have to wait a week or two until I get settled into my new place before I start filling it up with more CDs

Probably, although Johnny and Bernard first had a more experimental direction in mind (as evidenced by the b-side Lucky Bag). But yes, an oboe interlude in the midst of electronics can't certainly be forgotten.
