Unfavourable
Was ist noch schlimmer als 70er? Folk-Rock der 60er! Bah, ich finde daran nichts was mir gefàlllt ..
Her voice is generally awful
Oh god, I hate this.
Basket Of Light is crap, has no business being on here, isn't offensive but has no redeeming qualities. 1.
Completely silly
Why is this on the list??
Late 60s folk was wild
Reminded me of a medieval carnival with people dancing in flowing garments chanting to the gods. Perhaps it I was high and had dropped some acid or mushrooms I would have appreciated it more.
It's like the worst parts of the Renaissance Festival in audio form.
Pentangle - Basket of lights Wasn't sure what I was going to hear when this album popped up for today. But I feel like this would have been one of those artists you listen to at the Renaissance faire. Super folksy and reminiscent to early Simon & Garfunkel (Scarborough Fair). While I enjoy this music some of the time, I don't know if I was missing anything by never hearing it before now. I recommend that y'all just skip over this one as it's not anything mind blowing. 1/5
uno de los 1 más fáciles de esta lista. Entiendo que hay que escuchar de todo en esta lista, al menos una vez por cada género, pero eso obliga a escuchar todo TODO. Y no estoy obligado a que me gusta.
This album made me laugh. I don’t think this was the artist had in mind.
Really not good.
Renaissance fair ass music
Some hippie cult shit. Not my jam.
This may have been good for people on acid fucking each other in the mud 55 years ago, but I had to listen to punk for 3 hours after this album to get the taste of patchouli out of my mouth. No thanks.
the worst kind of village-fete renaissance fair folk shit.
I think I like Fairport Convention better. Far better, actually. What else do you want me to say? It's skillfully played and sounds decent at first, generally speaking. But when that humourless mimicry of a medieval/gregorian chant turned up by track four, I couldn't help rolling my eyes up to the back of my head. Same with the overaffected tones of that lead singer. Who can listen to that shit seriously in 2023??? At least with Fairport Convention / Sandy Denny, you had many moments filled with genuine, tangible emotions. Likewise, the much-maligned The Incredible String Band (much-maligned on this app, at least) could display off-kilter psychedelic moods going beyond the occasional mandatory late-sixties sitar--giving some of their tunes a potential fresh flavor today. In comparison, most of *Basket Of Light* sounds like aimless noodling and empty exercises in style. It's biteless, tasteless, and harmless. Utterly boring record. Nice glockenspiel arrangements, though. I wish I could erase everything else, and only keep those. :D So, just like that other reviewer's wife, I roll my eyes and turn away. I'm aware that Bert Jansch is supposed to be a legendary British folk artist, but I'll try my luck with him on a solo album, I guess... 1/5 for the purposes of this list, which translates to a 6/10 grade for more general purposes. Next, please. Number of albums left to review: 383 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 280 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 146 Albums from the list I won't include in mine (many others are more essential to me): 197 (including this one)
This album has absolutely no business being on this list, or any list, unless it’s a list of absolutely overwrought, poorly written and mind-bogglingly boring albums. I find this so much more offensive than hardcore pornography.
Too far out of my wheelhouse to enjoy at all. The vocals are what Truly takes me out of the music....the instrumentation itself is enjoyable.
Nothing stood out other than a few minor guitar moments but not my jam
Meh, totally not my style.
Wtf is this? Is this what the knights of the round table were jamming to?
Woof. This was rough. I ended up skipping through tracks, and that was more than enough.
I tried but I just couldn't
Not for me, that's for sure.
Hm
Hippy bullshit
folk nonces
Back to psychedelic folk
Way too folky for me
This is music for a renaissance fair.
Nah dawg 1
Just some folk
For folk's sake.
English folk from the late sixies - I suppose it is a solid album but it is hard to see justification for having this included in the list as even within its genre there are much better albums around from the same time period.
This was unlistenable drivel. I felt like I was trapped in folk concert hell and the only way out was through a patchouli hurricane.
Not good psychedelic rock. Funeral dirge song about cremation and talk of Christ completely turned me off.
This is a band from the 60s? The sound is almost from medieval times... Am I listing to some satanic verses?
The dirge was an interesting change of pace and it was interesting to see a broader world music flair, but there wasn't much i enjoyed here. I wasn't a particular fan of the vocal work (both male and female)... and the sound is definitely stuck in the 60's.
Absolute shite
Big (1988), Directed By Penny Marshall: JOSH BASKIN (RAISES HAND) PAUL: (looking at Josh) Yes, Josh? JOSH BASKIN: I don't get it.
Not for me
For someone like me who used to groove heavy on the hippie side of things, this kind of music just doesn't groove for me. I'm sure at the time it stood out quite well, but listening to it today it almost sounds like it's from a music mockumentary, kind of like Spinal Tap when they were The Thamesmen singing "listen to what the flower people say." Just how I'm hearing it, folks.
Sloppy, airy, fairy tosh.
Terrible nonsense
Basket of Shite. The worst yet.
Hippy drug addled nonsense.
Nich für mich.
Beim letzten Song „I saw an Angel“ erinnere ich mich an die Titelmelodie von „Der Fahnder“ mit Klaus Wennemann. Ganz Großer, viel zu früh von uns gegangen. Ansonsten: nein, du, kein Interesse an deiner Taizé-Gruppe jeden Dienstag um 19 Uhr in der Teestube. Nein, auch nicht mit mondsteinbetanzter Demeter-Kamille, lauwarm in belebtem Wasser aufgebrüht. Hey, aber klar geht duzen, du.
no way...
Me sentía en Zelda
Eh
Nope
man-- I did not enjoy this.
Listened to about 3 songs from this. Fuck this Jesus music.
