5. A song that needs to be played loud
My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise

Watch on YouTube

Literally. You have not heard MBV until you've heard them at ear-splitting volume. Kevin Shields writes songs that are supposed to harmonize with the screaming in your eardrums. Live, the breakdown in the middle of this song can go on for 20 minutes of blissful chaos. No, of course it's not healthy, but it's incredible.

I'll tell you what: I've been thinking about Don Ellis ever since you posted that performance. Crimson also specializes in odd time signatures, so maybe we would both enjoy an exchange of album recommendations--three KC for three DE.

My end:

RED (1974)
DISCIPLINE (1981)
IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING (1969)

Sold! (And thanks!)

My Don Ellis intro would be three albums he put out in 1967-1968: Live At Monterey (that's the one that opens with "33 222 1 222"), Electric Bath ("Turkish Bath" is not only in 7/4, but it's in quartertones as well) and Autumn ("Pussy Wiggle Stomp" is sort of his hit).

Then I'll just toss in "Bulgarian Bulge" as well just because there are only so many jazz tunes in 33/16. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUYtWvavvYg
