Thank you for the reminder DW, Tricky laid out a very specific question, and I for one failed to respond, and will now amend.
Okay, I want to claim Lou Reed's Velvet Underground as the music that stands out for me, and I know that a lot of people would absolutely not 'get it'. It's jangly, discordant and frankly disturbing. [Any confusion here this is way, way, before Transformer and the likeable ditties such as Andy's Chest [ok, yeah Warhol's chest], and Satellite of Love.
This early Underground music resonates with me in a particular way, because it evokes a time in a period that is revelant to me [even though it pre-dates some]; and in little ways, I believe it helped to make me the person that I am today. That may sound a little extreme (given that they were, no matter how gifted, a bunch of drug-crazed-addled-speed-freaks: and I love them for that), however, I think I am justified in making this statement, as I aspired to a little of something that they were doing with their music. I think that this music let all of us who either lived at the time or after, allowed us to be different. That is a gift, no matter how you slice it.
It was a time that the Warhol Factory was happening; Joe Dallesandro, Edie Sedgwick, the amazing Jean-Michel Basquiat; the whole 'Factory' ambience. [And just to be clear here, not in the purest sense of the word 'aspired': like dying young, talking Edie here don't know if Joe is still around], but I loved and wanted to be like them and emulate their creativity. They were different. [Don't start humming Venus in Furs and thinking "oh so, sado-masochism?"]. Wrong.
This was NY [70's]. It was CBGB. They were writing and performing music that was in its entirety a reflection of their lifestyles. I think about Billy Idol, and The Clash, The New York Dolls, Sex Pistols and who knows what...can't tell you how much I love The Ramones, Dee Dee and Joey ...and none of this would have happened if Lou, who used to hang around outside of jazz clubs listening to the likes of Thelonious Monk, hadn't got his music 'jones' from doing that.
So you see this music for me was and is a pivotal point in the world of music and of personal freedom. It was new and it created a new platform for this new type of jazz. I'm using the word jazz here, because jazz to me always means different and often like in the works of Miles Davis, slightly unnatural and often discordant. Resonance? Yes, it definately has.
