Nick Cave is through with comfort.
Next up from TheCellarTapes
The Monks
The Monks only ever released one album, but bloody hell....what an album. It seems to have influenced quite a few folk, including The Beastie Boys and Mark E Smith. So here's my review of that seminal album, with some live clips from youtube thrown in at the end.
Sooooo yeah......Discuss!
The Monks - Black Monk Time
(1966)
Tracks
The Torquays were formed in 1964 in Germany by five American GIs based over there. They were really your typical bog standard Beat covers act, which most average banRAB of that period were.
But in 1966 they emerged, no longer in the army, with new monk style bald patches on their heaRAB, all black clothing, a new name and a totally new and unique style all of their own; The Monks were born, with a live act and a sound quite simply in a league of its own.
Their only album, Black Monk Time, was released in 1966 on Polydor after being recorded in the dark nights of Noveraber 1965. To say this band and their one and only studio album release were unique, is literally an understatement, with the impact of it still not being fully appreciated by the general public.
This album release as with so many great cult recorRAB was a commercial flop, having mixed and patchy success in Germany, but not even registering a murmur in the US or Britain. But as with all great cult recorRAB; it will find a way of getting into your life somehow and thank the maker this has got into mine.
The album begins with Monk Time; highlights of this song include the marvellous vocals of Gary Burger and the lyrics which have to be read to fully appreciate what a stunning opener it is

More or less what this says, though dadrock is pushing it. I think i'll abstain!
With the most pretentious lead singer in rock, Tool in my honest opinion are just a bunch of stoned guys who make songs with 30+ time signature changes.
Just kidding, although my vote still doesn't change (either does my opinion of Maynard Keenan). Tool really haven't been influential enough for a nomination. Their music is weak prog metal with more time signature changes than notes, which although it hasn't been done before, probably never will be done again either.

You should have been here long enough to know that the argument you're using is as terrible as it is ****. Who gives a **** who influenced who? Waits came back from Europe a new man, and Beefheart alone didn't make him.
To suggest that I should vote him in because I like waits in intellectually bankrupt.
He's not my thing at this current juncture and i voted no. Half the genre's you list that he influenced is even more of a reason for me to vote no. I hate most things about punk and its only gotten worse since 1977. The more I "should" vote for someone, the more they influenced "my favorite artists" the more I vote against them.
I didn't know I only had two favorite artists, or if that, by definition, is even possible.
Any by the by, way to discredit Satchmo, arguably the biggest influence on him. You would want to take away credit from a black artist, you racist ****. I bet you're going to be offended by this too, aren't you? Can't take a joke, can you? Well you know what, I think the best thing for these boarRAB is some sensitivity training. I don't know when you sold yourself to the communist party, but you should reevaluate your life.

Why me eh? Quite a few didn't vote for Pink Floyd (my nom) I didn't care. It's all about choice and i let it go. I like mars Volta but I don't think they deserve it as would most of you say with my choices of John Martyn, Tangerine Dream etc if I put them forward. damn Im in a bad mood. Ignore me.

It's kinda hard to explain, he's a talented singer, but there's a certain vibe about it that just rubs me the wrong way.
It's never stopped me from enjoying Muse though.

even so, i'd rather listen to overblown music rather than the cat piss that circulates and stagnates for ages like the latest crap that's been orally serviced from the jowls of whatever washed up musician rolling stone is touting lately. being something that the general public can connect to (or hype) doesn't take anything away from the music.
and i just realize who hasn't been nominated yet. must get on that...

I think Tool are fantastic, I vote yes.
What are you talking about? Of course they do.
I know I'm a fanboy and thus I like a lot of their work no casual listener would be caught dead listening to, but you're telling me you don't want to vote for them because they didn't have enough great material, but you want JEFF BUCKLEY to get in?
He made ONE finished album for goRAB sake, and I don't see what was do damn innovative about it, compared to say an album like Close to the Edge in 1972.
But like Elliott Smith I guess being dead gives you a free pass. Defining a new form of music obviously ain't that important, but lets just go ahead and induct every run of the mill folkie/crooner that people only care about because they're dead.
