|
|
What do you guys think is the most easily likable and accessible album to a casual music fan? I'd choose Remain in Light or Kind of Blue.

The Biebs... ahahhaha
Coldplay... I mean I guess look at artists that sell a lot...
Nirvana's Nevermind sold a lot for example... so I wouldn't be showing Bleach to someone who has never heard Nirvana before.
I remember In Rainbows by Radiohead something I IMMEDIATELY connected with... but I was already a Radiohead fan... having said that just because you are a fan of a band doesn't always mean you immediately connect with their new album, and that one I did.
Best of collections usually help people get to know a new artist.

What we can access depends a great deal on the tools we have been given by our past experiences. Prejudice and preconception play no small part as well.

This is a difficult one: even a casual music fan is already a music fan so must already have a clue on what in his/her idea is an accessible album. Abba maybe?

I wouldn't say Kind of Blue. Beautiful album and music, but I know a lot of people who won't give jazz the time of day. It's not that easy for some people to appreciate instrumental music, let alone labeling it jazz.
I do agree with the idea of Nirvana's Nevermind being a good choice for this topic though.

Totally agree and listening to it now (just by chance due to my review of the 80s.

This was my first thought.
I also consider myself a "fan" of Talking Heads and really liked their Sand In The Vaseline collection... still not crazy about an album of theirs and like I said I consider myself a "fan" of their music. I guess what I'm saying is as much as I'd want to agree with your initial suggestion... let's just say when I was listening to it, my wife came in and said... "not impressed".
I also agree with previous comments of accessible is totally hinging on the person in question. Some people cringe at the Beatles. Some people cringe at Radiohead. Some people cringe at Michael Jackson, some people cringe at Miles Davis, and some people cringe at Kanye West ... so it all depends.
Anyway, glad you are trying to get someone to listen to an album instead of the radio. Noble effort.

Very very true. But in today's globalized society there seems to be some sort of a shared space where there are recurring tools, prejudices and preconceptions pretty much for the big chunk of the population.
