Also, it contains not enough pop for being placed as the 60's 'progressive Pop' subgenre.Īlthough I for one tend to think that 'Their Satanic.' is an early Experimental rock album, this album actually escapes categorization, but certainly stands alone in the Stones' discography. Somehow the Stones tried to do space themes, but it's not a space-rock record either. Pepper - the band uses too many 'psychedelic' elements to be classified as 'Rock' as a distinct genre with capital *r* and without *roll*, but that doesn't really make 'Their Satanic Majesties Request' a fully fledged Psychedelic rock album.
However, on 'Their Satanic Majesties Request' - released in 1967 which caused many critics' comparisons, perhaps wrong, to the Beatles' Sgt. Let's go back to the Swinging Sixties, at the time when the Stones gave the world some magnificent albums in the 'Rock' genre, like 'Aftermath', 'Between the Buttons' and 'Beggars Banquet'. It takes some getting used to, but once you are smitten, there’s no going back. Mansun - Six // the follow up release, and it is completely bonkers, often changing tack mid-song. Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern // this has a story, not that you can follow it, also some wider screen sounds, some clattering rockier moments, and a captivating bunch of tunes. This was before they ever found chart success. The Boo Radleys - Giant Steps // there’s a lot going on here, it can be arch and odd, and then surprisingly poppy.
The ones that initially spring to mind are: I love them all, and I can honestly say that to the uninitiated, they are worth exploring at least once, you’ll probably find something that resonates. There was a spate of albums by alternative indie types that I think fall into this category, dense in structure, thematically linked in part, all over the place in style, chopping and changing at will. As a long time mega-fan of AWATS I feel I must explore that Steve Harley recommendation.
