Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?

@devinplombier -- My GY!BE show on Nov. 17th in NC was postponed. One of the founding members, Efrim Menuck, became ill, causing them to cancel the shows in Nashville, Knoxville, and Atlanta. The night before my show was supposed to happen, they attempted to play Charleston, SC, but quit after about 70 minutes. I got an email the morning of my show saying it was off. Alan Sparhawk (of the fabulous band Low) played his set as a "pay what you can". GY!BE postponed all remaining shows except for the last 2 -- in their hometown of Montreal. I opted to keep my tickets to be used when they reschedule hopefully in the Spring.

If you ever get a chance to see them live...do it. It is an experience you’ll never forget. At their shows, I feel like I enter a trance -- the sound and visual effects are reminiscent of 1960’s Pink Floyd concerts. Every album is a must listen, but this is a great start: "Lift Your Skinny Fists like Antennas to Heaven"

I also heard BIG|BRAVE was wonderful at those Montreal shows. I did a deep dive as well.

Lift Your Skinny Fists like Antennas to Heaven is fantastic. I got it some 20 years ago, my first GYBE album. Later I put it on my son's musical radar, because that's what dads do :)

Sorry about the cancellation, hope you catch them next spring.

All, jazz is such a broad and inclusive music genre, isn't post-rock like part of it? Almost? Apologies for the hijack and thanks for the great recommendations :)

Yes, it gives me great joy when my adult sons put on an album and say, "I remember when you turned me on to this, Pops!"  Be it Led Zep, Neil Young, Talk Talk, Psychedelic Furs, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Bowie, Queen, Soup...the list is endless.  They've already started calling dibs on who gets which system and which albums.  That's better than hearing a lot of old farts like me on here saying no family member is interested!

So glad to discover another GY!BE fan.  I'll never forget seeing "28 Days Later" in the movie theater and realizing Godspeed was part of the soundtrack.   I didn't have any other friends who had heard "F♯ A♯ ∞".
