The direction included when we did "A" (but which was notably omitted on this thread) was to post an album "that you think deserves more attention from the BEA community." So I read that as "post an obscure album."

Ah I must've missed that, now I know. The whole thread makes a lot more sense now, I thought the idea of just posting random albums that started with a certain letter seemed kind of pointless, but now I get it

Broadcast by Strawpeople

Very good, though also very bizarre album. Three or four songs are cover versions, three or four are reworks of songs that appeared on their earlier albums, then you've got a few lengthy instrumentals and then there are a bunch of singles that are kinda regarded as classics.

The Blue Depths by Odawas

Odawas self-report their genre as "psychedelic folk rock," which I will translate to you as "electronic-tinged rock with creepy harmonica." This is their third release and it's an atmospheric headphone masterpiece. Great to fall asleep to.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan

Because it's 2nd in 1975 and 33rd overall?

Or does this not have a purpose?

Blow By Blow by Jeff Beck

His first full LP excursion into jazz and jazz fusion. Absolutely stellar mix of styles and grooves and just about the greatest guitar playing ever. Yeah, it's stellar.

Loveeeeeee this

Have you heard Wired? I think it's just about as good as Blow By Blow, sometimes I think it's better. Beck's version of "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" is just incredible.
