Scott Walker recommendations

(1/2) > >>

Hi all.

Sad news about Scott Walker. Must confess Im not consiously aware of much of his great body of work. but from reading all the obituaries it's clear he had a long and impressive and diverse legacy.

Anyone here been influenced by him? Any recommendations as to what to listen to? 

PaulAds:
Coop Funeralcare are always sober and reliable...and reasonably priced.

Those woodland burials are good for hippy-types.

In future, I must remember to read the full post, not just the title...

:-)

MichaelA:
Yes @mickyplankton I am with you on that obituary thing. maybe his broader work was not as well known in the U.K.

But 'Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' is surely one of the best ever pop songs. The hooks in that are so good I almost want to cry when I hear them.

I will watch this thread with interest, Co-op funerals aside!  ;)

rightly:
I don't know about his back catalogue either.
Hoping for recommendations.

@mickyplankton

I remember walker being recommended to me years ago.
I listened to tilt and drift - the albums.

He is intriguing , his voice takes some getting used to.
Not exactly easy listening.
I've been listening to him the last hour or so.
 I think he's a cool, respectable dude but I really cannot get on board.

My favourite: “The old man’s back again (dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist regime)” (real title!) from the Album Scott 4 (Also contains the tasty “Seventh Seal”)
