It's cuz I'm super-cool. Pixies was the best concert I ever went to. Can't remember if it was '88 or '89, but it was Bristol (UK) and I saw Black Francis sitting in the middle of a park beforehand buried in a comic book. I seriously feared for my life when they were playing Tame.

Did you see that the Brothers Reid are currently on speaking terms again? William was super-chubby for a while, but seems to have slimmed down again.
Yep. Read below I should have said so and I even thought about it, but I was thinking of only true albums. Otherwise my list would be filled with the best of's. That and live albums don't count because they are compilations of songs from many albums 99% of the time. Otherwise my list would be something like this.... A Decade of Steely Dan Tom Petty's Greatest Hits The Who's Greatest Hits The Best of..Al Green Etc Etc Etc. Its cheating.
Always thought that was overrated. I'm more into Goat's Head Soup. Dancing With Mr. D, 100 Years Ago, Heart Breaker, Angie, Starfucker.... For some reason it doesn't get the love it deserves.
I hadn't heard about this (the new music, not the weight loss--though not that either). I'll definitely need to check out the album--the song sounded great. JAMC are one of the bands that I consider incapable of writing a bad song, by and large.
I really need a list of about 100 minimum...I put 20 down and as soon as I was finished could have replaced the list with a new 20
The "White Album" is the best official Al Green album I know of. The Belle Album is great as well. Of course that is personal taste.
To my mind Angie is the song that devalues the entire rest of the Stones' catalog. That they should be capable of producing that excrescence makes me question the worth of every other song I thought was good. Kind of like "I just called to say I love you" for Stevie Wonder.
Back in my undergraduate days, when jukeboxes still existed, and contained actual seven-inch slabs of vinyl, I played "You Trip Me Up" on the jukebox in the college bar while the guy who serviced equipment was in there. He RAN over and stopped it. When I complained, he said that he thought the machine must be broken because of all the hissing and feedback. True story.
Jeez! It's just a fucking ballad. I Just Called To Say I Love You was Stevie Wonder paying his fucking taxes. We are getting into High Fidelity territory here, Mr. Black.
No, Sexual Healing is a fucking ballad. Maybe it's that Mick Jagger just shouldn't sing ballads (see also "Wild Horses"). No, it's also that Angie is shit. And hey, this is the internet, so I'm practically honor-bound to be obnoxiously opinionated.
We have some similar tastes. My list, although it changes monthly: Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies Village Green Preservation Society by The Kinks White Album by The Beatles Loveless by My Bloody Valentine Psychocandy by Jesus and Mary Chain Drum's Not Dead by Liars Soft Bulletin by Flaming Lips Experimental Jetset, Trash, and No Star by Sonic Youth Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa and Soul Sonic Force. I am already upset about leaving certain things off before I've even posted it. I really wanted to throw something by Donovan, Air, Deerhunter, Panda Bear, Elliott Smith, MC5, Wreckless Eric, The Clash, and etc....... oh, and way more Hip Hop......
That is one of the greatest albums in history. Rose For Emily and Time of The Season were some of the best songs ever written Yet the Beatles are considered geniuses and yet the Zombies don't get any love. They weren't even together when the album was released in America. Shame.
Interesting how people like what you'd guess they would by their political posts. It isn't groundbreaking insight I know but my mind is just tuned to a certain rhythm for the most part. I get why Soil never got super huge and famous but I love it. Guy sings and occasionally does some growling type shit (which I generally hate) too much of that ruins it for me.
