Post here and I'll 'give' you your very own album from my collection

[LynneSin]

'Give' meaning it's the special album we'll always share together!

I'll be up all night working on the album project so who knows what you'll get but it's safe to say you won't be getting any Britney Spears or 50 Cents (this is vinyl, I don't think I have anything much past 1990)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear LynneSin.......

Well, I would be honored to receive a special album from you!

What'll it be?

And how are you tonight?

:hi:

[LynneSin]

4. You'll get Sly & the Family Stone's "Stand!"

[Blue-Jay]

2. Dibs on Leo Sayer!

[LynneSin]

5. I almost bought that album, but you'll get Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick

[Blue-Jay]

11. I'll make a compromise.

[LynneSin]

13. Hell, I could photoshop that one

Sounds good

And seriously, I kept looking to get that damn Leo Sayer album, but the antique co-op with all the albums closed out the record department. Someone bought this guys entire stash which was almost 10k albums

:cry:

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. And let me guess, you probably have enough albums for

every DUer here, right? ;) :P



Edited for a silly typo. :o

[LynneSin]

6. We'll lock after 500 posts - and you'rs is Tumbleweed Connection

by Elton John

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. Awesome!

Thank you Lynne! :bounce:

[hobo_baggins]

31. Thats my favorite album ever, I want it!

lucky bastard

[SeattleGirl]

7. Darlin' LynneSin, I am so curious to know what you would

pick for me!

[LynneSin]

9. How about Wings - "At the Speed of Sound

[SeattleGirl]

10. Cool! I love it!

Thank you! :bounce:

[MrScorpio]

12. I'd love to see what you have for me

Lay it on me, baby

[LynneSin]

14. Our album will be War - "All Day Music"

[MrScorpio]

15. I love you!

That album is the BOMB!

[LynneSin]

16. That was the one I was entering into my DB when you posted

had you posted about 2 minutes earlier it would have been Barry White's Greatest Hits

[MrScorpio]

20. Well, I saw War live in concert 23 years ago

Great time

Besides, I already have that Barry deal

Great pick

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

17. Hey Lynne, what ya got for me???

Hint, I still adore the Beatles...

[LynneSin]

18. I'm suppose to give you what's on top now, but I'll give you Abbey Road

(if you hadn't given me the hint it probably would have been The Beach Boys "Endless Summer")

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

23. Lynne, you rock!!!

Abbey Road is my absolute #1 favorite album by the Beatles... I think you're psychic...

Thank you....

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[nutsnberries]

19. are you arranging them autobiographically?

;)

[LynneSin]

21. Right now there is no order & you get Stevie Wonder's "Hotter than July"

Usually I just do it in alphabetical - I'm boring!

[nutsnberries]

25. say, Thanks!

"...Of course, when we meet Rob, he's experiencing the misery instead of the music whole. Spinning records in his dingy apartment, a veritable vinyl cellar, he's merely listening to the notes--unlike his two hired hands, Rob's passion for music seems to rollercoaster in tune with his love life. (He's also organizing his personal collection "autobiographically," effectively deintellectualizing the albums themselves.)..."





I was picturing you in a Rob-mood.

[LynneSin]

26. Dupe

dupe

[LynneSin]

27. Not tonight

Maybe another time once I know what the hell I have in this collection

[nutsnberries]

29. good luck and

have fun. :)

[Jamastiene]

22. Got any Rolling Stones albums.

I love them and the Beatles and the Who. I get an album. My albums are still in storage and I lost most of mine in the move except one little box, so this will be a special treat. You are such a sweetheart. :hug:

[LynneSin]

24. How about The Rolling Stones "Get Yer Ya-Ya's out!"

I don't have much in the stones because I wasn't the biggest fan of their stuff cept maybe some of the older ones I would pick up if I found them while used record shopping

[Jamastiene]

28. Perfect.

I wish I had some of my old record. I had some of their stuff on records and cassettes. I can't find half of my cassettes either. Thank you, this will be great. I'm so happy.

[FredStembottom]

30. "I'm sure there's nothing for me in that bag..."

I'm not very well known around here - and my musical tastes are just SUCH a problem! Ask anyone! I actually really LIKE Bing Crosby! And the B-52"s! And Pat Martino and Gentle Giant! hopeless..........

[LynneSin]

33. Everyone is welcomed to an album. Ours will be Steely Dan "Pretzel Logic"

I love this record, btw!

[FredStembottom]

35. That's magically appropriate!

ah, yes....we will hum this on our journey thru life!:toast: Just you and I.

[Katherine Brengle]

32. Hmm... Do you have any Joni Mitchell or Paul Simon lying...

around unclaimed?

:toast: Happy St. Pat's!

[LynneSin]

34. I have both - how about Simon & Garfunkel "Wednesday Morning, 3am"

[Katherine Brengle]

106. Yaaaay!!!

(Unless you had "Blue"--J.M.--my faaaaavorite!)

[mdmc]

36. thats very kind of you. thank you.

[LynneSin]

37. We have a great album to share: David Bowie "Hunky Dory"

[mdmc]

38. oh...

thanks

[LynneSin]

40. You didn't like it - it's my absolutely favorite Bowie album

Whismical and fun. Heck I'm going to put it on right now!

[mdmc]

42. well, i think ill give it a listen too. perhaps i should open up to more

music

[LynneSin]

44. I wouldn't give you a crap-ass Bowie Record

Right after Katrina there was an already scheduled Fashion Show TV event on one of the Networks. Because of Katrina they used the event to help raise funds and one of the performances was David Bowie singing "Life on Mars?" It was absolutely stunning - goosebumps type of material. The whole first side of Hunky Dory has some of my favorite DB songs including Mars, Kooks and Changes.

Here's the song we can share - wonderful lyrics

Will you stay in our lovers’ story
If you stay you won’t be sorry
’cause we believe in you
Soon you’ll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

Will you stay in our lovers’ story
If you stay you won’t be sorry
’cause we believe in you
Soon you’ll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry
And a funny old crib on which the paint won’t dry
I bought you a pair of shoes
A trumpet you can blow
And a book of rules
On what to say to people when they pick on you
’cause if you stay with us you’re gonna be pretty kookie too

Will you stay in my lovers’ story
If you stay you won’t be sorry
’cause we believe in you
Soon you’ll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

And if you ever have to go to school
Remember how they messed up this old fool
Don’t pick fights with the bullies or the cads
’cause I’m not much cop at punching
Other people’s dads
And if the homework brings you down
Then we’ll throw it on the fire
And take the car downtown

Will you stay in our lovers’ story
If you stay you won’t be sorry
’cause we believe in you
Soon you’ll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

Will you stay in our lovers’ story
If you stay you won’t be sorry
’cause we believe in you
Soon you’ll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

Will you stay

[yvr girl]

39. OK, which one has my name on it?

*waits somewhat patiently*

[LynneSin]

41. How about Talking Heads "Fear of Muisc

I'm getting into my 80s section and just started to enter this one. When I flipped it over there was a green maple leaf (same shape as what's on the flag) so it's perfect for you because of the Maple Leaf (Canada) and it's green for St. Patty's day (although I'm guessing that's an American holiday)

[yvr girl]

43. St. Patty's is an Irish Holiday

And it's observed in Canada.

I'm not familiar with this album, but I trust you. :hug:

[6000eliot]

45. Something from the '70s please?

[LynneSin]

46. How about Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything?

One of his best!

[6000eliot]

62. Also one of my all-time favorites

"Sweeter Memories" and "Couldn't I Just Tell You." Yes.

[ContraBass Black]

47. OK.

[LynneSin]

48. How about In-A-Gadda--Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly

Your cross reminded me of the Simpson Episode where Bart replaced the organ music with sheet music from this classic song

[hfojvt]

49. just as long as I do not get

any Led Zeppelin

[LynneSin]

50. Then how about Madonna "True Blue"

Told you I was in the 80s section (and that'll warn other's to knock LZ - I can top even that one)

:loveya:

[hfojvt]

58. according to Wayne's world

she's the hottest babe of all time.

I supposed "Papa don't preach" is aprop,
although I would have thought "Like a virgin" would be more so.

[Initech]

51. Got any Zappa?

[LynneSin]

53. You can have my 1 Zappa album - Apostrophe(')

Don't see much used Zappa out there



I have this one but the cover is kinda beatup

[Initech]

55. Good choice!

[LynneSin]

56. I'm listening to our album right now

:bounce:

[Whoa_Nelly]

52. LynneSin....Baaaby!

Hit me with your best shot! Yeah!

[LynneSin]

54. Some Enchanted Evening by Blue Oyster Cult!!

Cowbell anyone?


BTW, I could have given you some Pat Benetar - I have about 3 of her albums in the collection!

[Whoa_Nelly]

63. The cover alone is eanough to make my heart race and my body to

*** GASP *** quiver!

Cool surprise album! Thanks! :loveya:

[Maddy McCall]

57. What do you think for me? I'm staying in a tavern's bed and breakfast...

this weekend. I need a very social weekend.

What do you think?

:hi:

[LynneSin]

59. I'm giving you Box of Frogs "Strangelands"

Ok, I know what you're thinking - what the hell is that? Well that, is one of my more favorite albums. The group came out in the 80s and was basically ex-Yardbirds im McCarty, Chris Dreja & Paul Samwell-Smith along with some other musicians. Included in a few of the songs is Jimmy Page (also an ex-Yardbird) doing some solo work

But because of your Frog, I give you Box of Frogs. It's a good album! Sometimes the song "Another Wasted Day" sings just for me, now it'll sing for us!

[Maddy McCall]

60. I'm absolutely gleeful.

:hi:

Frogs, as you know from my sig, are my fave animals. I just might have to give that album a try!

Thanks!

[LynneSin]

61. If you can find it

Worse case I could zip up some of the MP3s and mail them to you

[Starbucks Anarchist]

64. Over here.

:hi:

[LynneSin]

65. Here you go: Cheap Trick "At Budokan"

[Starbucks Anarchist]

67. I want you to want me...

Sweet! :hi:

[lizziegrace]

66. Any Robert Plant left?

:hi:

[LynneSin]

68. For you I'll give you "The Principle of the Moments" by Plant

It's my favorite Plant album because during "In The Mood" (which is on this album), I held Robert Plant's hand while he sang the second chorus of that song at Hersheypark during a wonderful sunny Sunday afternoon concert

[lizziegrace]

73. I'm honored!

I'll treasure it. He held your hand huh? Where's that swooning smilie??

:hi:

[LynneSin]

74. I have no idea but it was the greatest thrill

to be in the front row for that concert. It was a magical moment until some bimbo got on her boyfriend's shoulder and whipped her shirt & bra off for him :banghead:

[jmm]

69. Wow, how many albums do you have?

It sure is taking you a while to finish this project ;-).

[LynneSin]

70. I've been working most of the night and your album is Blind Faith

It's their only album and it's the clean cover. Never seen the one with the naked girl on the front except in CD form

I've done 100 albums so far and that's just from what I purchased recently. I still have 2 shelves to go and I'll probably do the same with my CDs (that's around 400 too)

It's a labor of love!

[Deja Q]

71. Okey doke, I'm hip! Sock it to me! Nice of you to offer!

:)

[LynneSin]

72. I'm thinking a little psychadelic with Disraeli Gears by Cream

[blondeatlast]

75. Donny! Donny! Donny! Puh-leeeeze! nt

[LynneSin]

76. I have no Osmonds but how about Breakfast in America by Supertramp

I love this album - second one I ever bought and I still play it all the time.

And I love the line in the "The Logical Song":


Now watch what you say
Or they´ll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won´t you sign up your name
We´d like to feel you´re
Acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

[blondeatlast]

80. I like it! Thanks! nt

[rbnyc]

77. Hey, it's official.

I start April 10th.

[LynneSin]

79. One time right after I talked to you I heard my good luck song

and thus you get the album with the good luck song for our special album


Greatful Dead "American Beauty"

Anytime I hear Ripple playing without any intervention from me (meaning it just came on the radio) something good happens with my job. I heard it right after I talked to you and I willed that good luck to you!!

[rbnyc]

82. That's really cool!

Thanks, Lynne.

[ProfessorGAC]

78. Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!

Now, now, now, now! I'm stamping my feet, but you can't hear it.
The Professor

[LynneSin]

81. How about "Days of Future Past" by the Moody Blues!

[ProfessorGAC]

83. Nah! You Can Do Better Than That!

Too lush! Rock does not require an orchestra!
The Professor

[LynneSin]

85. Oh, you break my heart

Watch it - I have some real schlock in this collection and I could easily switch you to something like this:



(and yes, that's in my collection)

[ProfessorGAC]

86. Eeeeeep! Never Mind. I'll The Moody's Album!

I was hoping for Beat, or Hall of the Crimson King, or something. But, you just be that way!
The Professor

[LynneSin]

88. Just for that I'll give you my favorite King Crimson Album

But don't tell anyone I was nice and switched

[ProfessorGAC]

89. See! Whining Works!

Tantrums and whining have been proven to be a successful strategy with Lynne! Hey everybody!
The Professor

[LynneSin]

90. Nah, that was a special exception just for you

I gave someone who badmouthed Led Zeppelin on the thread a Madonna Album

[ProfessorGAC]

91. LOL! That'll Teach 'Em!

You're in good form this morning, Lynne!
The Professor

[LynneSin]

92. I'm soon going back to bed - I've been at this most of the night

Had to get up to run some reports but I'm off work today. I'm only up to album 132

[AllegroRondo]

84. Got any Rush?

[LynneSin]

87. Do I breathe? How about "A Fairwell to Kings"

[Beer Snob-50]

93. Do you have any George Harrison?

Talent Wise him and John Lennon are the two most talented Beatles. In my humble opinion.

[LynneSin]

94. I'm going to give you the Travelling Wilburys Vol #1

That was a great album and no, I have no Harrison solo work on Vinyl - only on CD

[Beer Snob-50]

96. Thank you!

Anytime you combine George and Dylan you cannot go wrong.

[LynneSin]

98. And Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and the Late Great Roy Orbison

:loveya:

I love ELO and use to joke around that I would marry Jeff Lynne so I would be Lynne Lynne

[Squeech]

95. Hmmm...

Do you have anything left for me? (I note that you've already assigned Zappa and King Crimson.)

[LynneSin]

97. I'm not assigning bands but here is Robert Fripp's Exposure

I love this album and especially "North Star"

I'm just trying to go through all the bands once before I start reusing. That way everyone is special

[Squeech]

101. Thank you

Do you know that Fripp and I have a history? He once called me clueless, in print!

(And once upon a time I told that to Bill Bruford, who replied, "Welcome to the club! You should see some of the things he's called me!")

[LynneSin]

103. Wow, that's amazing I would pick that album for you

then again I could have given you this:

[derby378]

99. Got any albums left, sweetie?

:toast: Slainte!

[LynneSin]

100. Warren Zevon's Excitable Boy

[auburngrad82]

102. Whatcha got for me?

And can I have more cowbell, please?



Liberal bumper stickers

[LynneSin]

104. I got cowbell for ya: Def Leppard "Pyromania"

Got some cowbell action in "Rock of Ages"

And this was the THIRD album I ever bought for myself



(already gave away Some Enchanted Evening by Blue Oyster Cult)

[auburngrad82]

105. Speaking of Cowbell, you've got to have some Nazareth in your stack

Or how about Mississippi Queen by Mountain. I seem to remember cowbell in that.

And I must be getting old. The first album I purchased was the Beatles Second Album at least 20 years before Pyromania came out.

Rock On.



Liberal bumper stickers

[anarch]

107. knowing the little bit I do about your record collection, I gotta partake

Let's have it!

[LynneSin]

111. I just woke up from a great nap so you get Queen "Night at the Opera"

[mac56]

108. Something for me?

Pleeeeeeeease?!

[LynneSin]

112. You get The Firm's first album!!

Jimmy Page & Paul Rodgers. Oddly enough I don't mind having Paul Rodgers as my lead singer, just not my lead singer of one of my most favorite bands

[mac56]

114. Schweet!

What’s that man movin’ 'cross the stage?
It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page
Its like a relic from a different age
Could be . . . . . oo-ee . . . . . .!

[Ron Mexico]

109. Something in a refined hard rock, please :)

You're Zep fan, I know you've got something a little bit louder than Bread or James Taylor left :)

[LynneSin]

110. How about Yes "The Yes Album"

[Ron Mexico]

113. A superb choice, and much appreciated!

I had that on vinyl years ago and still miss it, even though I have it on CD. :cry:

Thanks! :)
