Home of the Brave * O Superman

No comments for this unique, enigmatic artist? Shame, shame, shame! Big Science is an electronic music masterpiece, containing some of the best and eeriest vocoder work ever recorded. O Superman (A transgressive, musically progressive and radical track that still sounds as fresh and hypnotic today) is probably the track most other posters know Laurie Anderson for; she is certainly the epitome of an acquired taste, but give Big Science a few listens before judging.

Unpopular opinion here, but with all due respect to Lou Reed (whom I do like for some of his work, primarily his glam rock stuff like Rock N' Roll Animal; the more vocally oriented stuff like New York, not so much, as I find it musically dull), I much prefer his widow Laurie Anderson's output, primarily for the arresting soundscapes and much broader palette of influences displayed in her sound.

ABBA, Madonna, other posers in the so called rock hall yet Laurie and many others influential, game-changing musicians are not. Still surprised Iggy and the Stooges are. Need Sparks in there as well or just shut the stupid place down.

Hi Everyone,

I'm back from my short lived break from technology. I'm still limiting my hours on the internet for my goal to focus on my mental, emotional and physical health, but I'm still going to stop by here on here from time to time to catch up on everything.

With that out of the way, I am thrilled that Laurie Anderson is receiving a lifetime achievement honor at the Grammys. This lady has always been a singular genius, just like Kate Bush. I hope the rock hall nom com are paying attention to this news and seriously consider her for a nomination or induct her into the musical influence category.
