2000-KRANKY
Produced By DARYL SMITH
1. Storm
2. Static
3. Sleep
4. Antennas To Heaven
The genre of Post Rock has been described this way. “Music using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbre and textures rather than riffs and power chords”. This is perhaps the best way to describe the sound of this Canadian band, and particularly their third album, Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven. The band, which was once a collective with a fluid membership, on this album utilizes three guitarists, two bass players and drummers, along with cello, violin and horns. Although Post Rock is directly influenced by the work of The Velvet Underground and Public Image, Ltd., there is little to suggest any direct lines to either band here. What may seem like just noise to some is actually a sprawling and breathtaking work by a band that has dared to be different and on the outside for what is now twenty years. The tracks are long…this is actually a double CD album with two songs on each disc. The first three are all within a minute of each other in length at just over 22 minutes, with the last one a virtual quickie at only 18 minutes.
Each track is broken into several separate parts, and the CD insert contains a fascinating drawing of how the entire album flows, with diagrams of how the intensity rises and falls. There are no vocals on the album except for pre-recorded spoken word pieces. But despite the length and sometimes airy atmospheres of the songs, this album somehow holds your attention. It manages to never become boring or stale. In short, it’s really masterfully done, managing to not be overdone or repetitious, but evolving constantly from one beautiful scene to another. This is not the kind of music the masses will enjoy…their albums have never sold well, and they’ve never had anything close to a hit song. But their fans keep them in business, enough so that they have, to this date, been able to release four albums and an EP. This is music for your adventurous side, and if you have the patience to handle the massive scope of the album, you will be rewarded. This is not rock…it’s post rock, at its absolute definition. A beautiful album, and a most intriguing band. [First added to this chart: 09/30/2025]

1999-RCA
Produced By JACK RICHARDSON
1. These Eyes
2. Laughing
3. Undun
4. No Time
5. American Woman
6. No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature
7. Hand Me Down World
8. Share The Land
9. Hang On To Your Life
10. Albert Flasher
11. Rain Dance
12. Sour Suite
13. Heartbroken Bopper
14. Guns, Guns, Guns
15. Follow Your Daughter Home
16. Star Baby
17. Clap For The Wolfman
18. Dancin' Fool
The Guess Who has now been at it for 50 years. Starting in 1960 as The Silvertones, they have gone through more than 40 lineup changes, and there is still a Guess Who touring today. But in 1969-70, they were maybe the best singles band on the planet, with 8 US top 20 hits in a row. Those 8 are the first 8 tracks here. After guitarist Randy Bachman left in 1970, the hits started to dry up, and Burton Cummings called the band quits (albeit temporarily) in 1975. This album covers the period from 1968-74.
After track 9, the selection gets really spotty. "Guns, Guns, Guns" is pretty good, and "Clap For The Wolfman" is worthwhile for how catchy and weird it is. The rest of the later tracks suffer from continuous personell changes and the loss of Bachman. A better choice is The Best Of The Guess Who, released in 1971, which sticks to the better earlier material, and includes the terrific "Bus Rider". (There are more Guess Who compilations than there are albums the band actually went into the studio to record themselves).
The band name came from a single they released in 1965, a cover of "Shakin' All Over". The band name was excluded from the packaging, with only "Guess Who?" on the cover. Speculation ran wild that it had been recorded in a basement in Liverpool by at least one Beatle and one Stone, and it sent the band over the top. [First added to this chart: 09/27/2025]

1976-COLUMBIA
Produced By RON HAFKINE
1. Sylvia's Mother
2. Acapulco Goldie
3. Freakin' At The Freaker's Ball
4. Makin' It Natural
5. Penicillin Penny
6. Cover Of The Rolling Stone
7. Get My Rocks Off
8. Carry Me, Carrie
9. Queen Of The Silver Dollar
10. Roland The Roadie And Gertrude The Groupie
Before sinking into the schmaltz of "Only Sixteen" and "Sharing The Night Together", Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show were actually one of the more hilarious bands in rock & roll. All of the songs on this compilation were written by Shel Silverstein, and there could have been no better interpreter than Dr. Hook. "Sylvia's Mother" is actually a beautiful tune, and "Cover Of The Rolling Stone" got them just that. The rest is pure comedy, with "Acapulco Goldie" being by far the finest of the lot.
Of course, an album from the 70's about smoking pot and skanky women gets old fairly quickly, no matter how well it's done. When I was 15, this was the greatest album in the world. Now? Not so much, although the best moments still shine like gold. [First added to this chart: 08/26/2025]
