Buy into my premise, or otherwise disregard this post in its entirety. My premise is simple: I am right. These are the top 10 Internet Music moments. There are no others that are better, and these will remain the best until at least 2024. I can not reveal why 2024 will change everything, but let's just say it has to do with implanted microchips. If you go on my journey and play each of these in order, you will be experienced (as the Jimi Hendrix song implies.) You will have a paradigm shift, but you must take this journey with some headphones in a place where you will be undisturbed for at least two hours. I have not arranged these from best to worst. The videos are arranged much like a dinner where each course builds in flavor and complexity to the next. If you follow my course, you will have joy, tears, laughter, and you will need a 'mop-on-isle-9' when it is all said and done. There are moments from the past, future, from other countries, and there will be demanding moments which will test your musical palate, endurance, and concentration. So don't toy with it, make the commitment. I promise you that if you do, a world of magic and mystery will open up to you and your shaman-self will be gassed up like a '74 Chevy mint-condition with double barrel carburetor, headers, nitrous injection, air-shocks, and when you step on the gas, it means something bigger than a road-trip. Take each in order and do not stop until the mission is completed.
1.) The Osmonds Rock? "Crazy Horses".
2.) King Crimson - "Starless" Live 1974. The most subversive guitar solo and electric violin solo in Rock history. Music from the bowels of purgatory served up on a platter of Awesome.
3.) Hocus Pocus, by Focus - Live 1973 - Sick, Freaky, Rock Yodeling, Madness.
4.) Mae Mercer w/ Sunnyboy Williams (Introduced by Willie Dixon). A Rare performance from a true Diva - A metaphorical heart is ripped out and offered to the world as a sacrament to the Blues we have and will all feel for the rest of our lives.
5.) The Bad Plus / Prehensile Dream - Punk Jazz with fractal piano-playing which is one of the most powerful experiences you will have watching such a thing if you stick with it. If you give up now, please never return to this list. You fail.
6.) R.L. Burnside - The Criminal Inside Me / The nastiest punk-blues fuck you who gives a shit song.
7.) Greg Anderson plays Legeti Etude 13 - "The Devil's Staircase"
8.) Frank Zappa - "Thingfish" - The Entire Album / An indictment of commercialism, Broadway, racism, sexism, homophobia, science, and everything else in the world.
9.) Kate Bush - Houdini / From her pinnacle album, The Dreaming.
10.) Tom Waits - The Piano Has Been Drinking.
If you survived, this bonus track will put you over the edge and into free space forever: MYSTERY TRACK!
