Over in the vinyl sub at the Bad Place, u/Folk_nurse had been doing a Vinyl Tunes for June thing. When the blackout started, I kept adding to my own list each day, and I’d love to carry on with you all. Below is the calendar, I’ll start a thread each day.
The point is just to get us all looking at our physical collections and sharing music.
And seriously… ALL credit and thanks go to folk_nurse. I’m just not headed back there.
I’m personally a fan of “25 or 6 to 4” by Chicago
Lot of good ones already here. I’ll add this only because I just finished playing this disc:
I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard this album, but this song is frigging awesome. I’ll definitely be giving the album some time this week. Thanks!
Incredible song. Timecop 1983- Static https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCwR2k6rImQ
Celldweller - one good reason
This is the same guy who does Scandroid, right?
He does Scandroid, Celldweller, Circle of Dust, FreqGen and sometimes under his own name, Klayton.
Iron Maiden- The Number Of The Beast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxnN05vOuSM
Boards of Canada - Sixtyten
Does that count?
Marvel 83’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keg2cbnOqSk
Prince- I Would Die 4 U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkNl3pq1twE
Could just do half of Prince’s discography. 7 would have been a good one too.
Highway 61 Revisited, an all time great as far as I’m concerned.
Tommy Tutone- Jenny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WTdTwcmxyo
I wonder what the most well known song with a number in it is…this seems like it would be up there, but probably loses to 1999.
Ice V - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

Great tune. I’m not a Giz devotee, but I really appreciate how they just seem to write whatever the hell they feel like. Stylistically, the new album was just not doing it for me this week, but then there’s this and it could be a completely different band.
It took me a few attempts to get into them. Firstly the name just put me right off soo I dismissed them. Then I got desperate for something new to listen to and decided to give them a go. That was when I realised how many albums they’ve released over the last few years. It’s pretty overwhelming when you just want to do your toe in. What did it for me was watching a few of the KEXP sets on YT. They can really play!
The microtonal stuff is probably my favourite along with some of the more jam based tracks
Classic. Probably would have been my pick if I had it.
