5. Hey Byron, Is Loveless
the MBV album with a song that has "Shallow" in the title? I used to love that song.

I'm down with your Clash, Drake, and Stone Roses choices. My list changes pretty frequently, but London Calling would always be on it somewhere.

Rock-solid entries in my Top 10:
1. Tim by The Replacements
2. Automatic For the People by R.E.M.
3. 10 Shades of Brown by Junior Brown
4. Patsy Cline boxset, particularly her cover of "You Belong to Me"


Currently, I couldn't live without:

The new Dido, which is all about loss and pain, and surprisingly dire for Dido, who I thought was pretty lightweight beforehand.

XTC's "I'm the Man Who Murdered Love." I missed this first time around and discovered it on the Gilmore Girls soundtrack.

Tenacious D. It's ALL about the D, and always will be. Does that do anything for ya, Jack?!

21. Almost exactly right, except swap A3 for Little Feat
Edited on Thu Dec-04-03 10:17 AM by Screaming Lord Byron
I don't know Hoy Hoy too well, so I can't say if I like it much. Sand Rubies I've never heard, and I used to live with an obsessive Ani fan, so that ruined it for me. (you forgot Sandanista, which I really like - with some editing, of course!)

23. Hoy Hoy
Is a double disk. My wife hates me for it...she brought all the Little Feat albums into the relationship. Hoy Hoy was my first and only Feat album up until that point, which is why she can't stand it...it is entirely outtakes, rehearsal sessions and alt versions of their catalogue. So, all the versions of the Feat chestnuts I know are completely "wrong." A slow, accoustic "Rocket In My Pocket." Linda Rondstadt fronting "All That You Feel." I absolutely love the disk, and to me, all of the "real" versions sound wrong.

26. Cheap Trick... Very Cool
I just listened to "In Color" about a week ago. Cheap Trick has a brand new released in 2003 album. I haven't heard it myself, but the reviews were better than favorable. They said it was the best thing they've done in many years.

22. Ride - Nowhere
I totally agree. The band themselves do not think much of it. I don't understand why. Their attitude is "well, it's out there if you want it". I like it more than any of their other efforts.

42. So you know of Martin Newell, then?
Do ya?

I've mentioned Martin at least 10 times in the couple of years I've been posting here, but his name never elicits a response.

Everyone I've every played a Newell CD to immediately fell in love with it.

I highly recommend Martin, who is the most published poet in the UK in addition to being a songwriter and musician of incredible taste. He's on Cherry Red Records.

Think Ray Davies meets Andy Partridge meets Brian Wilson.
