Old 97’s - my first exposure to them (despite my OP). Enjoyed every tune.
Don’t see a 30th anniversary on Spotify, settling for 25th Anniversary live album.
mmm
Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by the Flaming Lips.
I’ve not been able to get in to any of their other stuff but damn is this a great album.
Just listened to RUSH’s Permanent Waves again. Wonderful album. This was when RUSH came of their ‘long song’ era and started with a little more radio-friendly stuff. In my hometown, they started being the ‘biggest thing in rock’ with this album, followed by Moving Pictures.
Thorogood is down.
On to Paul Simon’s Graceland, which is in my all-time top 5.
Or 3.
Or 1.
mmm
Best house CLEANING music is Prince-Dirty Mind. Accept no substitutes.
I see your music tastes all over the place (ahhh, similar minds!).
One I love Is The Best of Louis Jordan. It’s from either '75 or '77
-
It really has all of his hits on it. Caldonia. Saturday Night Fish Fry. Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens. Beans and Cornbread. Knock Me a Kiss.
-
They’re almost all very high energy songs and fun. (Plus a few slower ones for when you take a break.)
-
I hate cleaning (or whatever you’re doing around the house) and I need music that makes me happy. And nothing makes me as happy as the blues!
Good luck and make it fun!
I need to get some stuff done tomorrow–I think I’ll have to get it out myself!
Not that it matters, but I’m painting, not cleaning the house.
On to Day 2. First up is Dave Brubeck’s Time In.
I’ll be painting at least through tomorrow, possibly Thursday.
Gonna need more recommendations. 
mmm
Try some of the Baroque masterpieces. And not just Handel. For example, chances are you’ve never heard more than the prelude to Charpentier’s Te Deum, right? The rest of it is just as good.
A good Youtube channel to hit for this stuff is GustavAdolphusRex.
I liked the Dave Brubeck quite a bit.
Now, for quite the change of pace, here comes a little AC/DC’s Back in Black.
mmm
(note: please suggest specific albums, I’m trying to eliminate any decision-making on my part)
My house cleaning albums always depend on my mood…however, I never seem to go wrong when putting on the following:
Iron Maiden’s Live After Death
Faith No More’s The Real Thing
Saturday Night Fever soundtrack
My suggestion for you today is Erroll Garner’s Concert By The Sea.
Some individual song recommendations - maybe put them into Pandora, and see what else pops up?
Florence + the Machine, “Ship to Wreck”
Fall Out Boy, “Uma Thurman”
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, “S.O.B.”
Hozier, “Jackie and Wilson”
Modest Mouse, “Lampshade on Fire”
Fitz and the Tantrums, “The Walker”
This is a lively group of songs, so if you’re cleaning or doing other active projects around the house, this set (and whatever Pandora thinks matches well with it) will keep you rockin’.
Up next: Elvis Costello, Armed Forces
Another of my favorites, I know this album inside-out.
Great suggestion.
mmm
Okay, I’m gonna make this a Two Fer Tuesday suggestion: Television’s Marquee Moon.
Ok, I’ll suggest one. Thelonious Monster - Next Saturday Afternoon*. Not even their biggest record, but it’s a good one. However, I’m suggesting it because the insert wisely advises:
[QUOTE=Bob Forrest]
Anyways My Advice is do somethin Constructive while Listenin to the Record. Like Washin the dishes or Somethin
It beats sittin around stoned Lookin at Some stupid trippy Lyric Sheet
See Ya Take care of Yourself
Love Bob Forrest

*That clip is two albums, it’s set to start at the first track of the one I’m suggesting. Good god, that is terrible album artwork.
Interesting. I’ve known about this album - and the fact that its held in very high regard - since it came out in the late 70’s. But I’ve never had the opportunity to listen to it.
I’m going to bump this one and listen to it next.
But, first things first: lunch time. 
mmm
Heh, that link I posted has strange ordering. It’s side A, then cuts off after track 1 of side B.* Well, if you like it. See your local recycled record store.
*Shhh, shut up. I know I’m old.
Yes! Great suggestion. You’re in for a treat MMM.
No love for my pick? It’s no problem. We’ve been listening to it since I suggested it to you and it’s still great.
I didn’t get anything done but I’m happy 
I can’t speak for MMM, but I love Louis Jordan and heartily endorse your suggestion!
