What's your favorite Album...

[KensPen]

that not many people know about......

I like the Refreshments (Big buzzy fuzzy wuzzy or some shit title like that)

or Jimmy's Chicken Shack


great songs that seem to have been looked over by the public at large.

[Knoxville_Bob]

3. Van Morrison

Astral Weeks

[FunBobbyMucha]

5. Sentimental Hygiene

Warren Zevon riffs on his dependency issues with a candor that would make El Rushbo die of shame. And he has a Stipe-less R.E.M. in their heyday, backing him on every song, and collaborations with Neil Young, Dylan, and George Clinton (!) on various songs throughout. Underrated, no B.S., and featuring one of the prettiest songs he ever wrote (Reconsider Me).

RIP, WZ

[MissMillie]

7. Aimee Mann

"Whatever" (her 1993 solo effort)

Also "Eventide" by Grey Eye Glances

[Screaming Lord Byron]

30. Agree 100% on Whatever.

[mvd]

61. Aimee Mann's Bachelor #2 is a fave of mine

I'll certainly look into Whatever.

[RandomKoolzip]

8. Guided by Voices: "Alien Lanes."

Go out and buy it now while Matatdor has cut the prices on its "Classics" series.


Also, "Double Nickels on the Dime" by the Minutemen. The greatest semi-famous record of all time.

[dolo amber]

57. Are you prepared?

Can you stand the shock?

That's my fave GBV too! :o

:D

[RandomKoolzip]

60. Well, it's not my favorite, but it's their most accessible disc...

If I were going to pick a disc for a GbV newbie, that's the one I'd choose. My favorite is either "Self-Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia" or "Mag Earwhig." (It changes every week or so.)

[GOPisEvil]

10. The Long Winters: When I Pretend To Fall.

Check 'em out. Seriously. Good music!

[cmf]

29. Excellent album.

One of the best of the year! They're great live, too.

[GOPisEvil]

34. Yes they are! I saw them at South By Southwest.

They REALLY need to get their asses back this way, too. x(

[YNGW]

11. Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

The Beatles - 1967

[KensPen]

12. yeah

that one never really caught on.....

[grannylib]

13. At this time of year in particular, I love pianist George Winston's

"December" album.

[Pale Blue Dot]

14. Crowded House - "Temple of Low Men"

Followed closely by Aztec Camera's "Dreamland".

[KensPen]

18. I prefer

Their album Woodface

[grannylib]

21. Woodface is one of my favorites too, although with these guys it's

really hard to choose...I can't say I dislike anything that they have done!

[KensPen]

2. good morning granny

you like my "art" haha
and music,


you MUST be a woman of substance.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

31. naw, Together Alone's the keeper.

[rjbcar27]

16. Appetite for Destruction - Guns 'n' Roses

Killer album

[RossMcLochNess]

15. G-N-R... Amen, brother

I've had to buy it 3 times because I keep wearing mine out. Including 2CDs of it.

[rjbcar27]

24. Yep, know that feeling.

On my 5th copy of it all told. 3 tapes and 2 CD's :-)

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

17. Janet Jackson's " Rhythm Nation 1814 "

I was 9 years old . It changed my life . I danced ( and still dance ) to it every single day .

[9119495]

19. Murmur--R.E.M. or Joshua Tree--U2

[nyrnyr1994]

55. good choice

I also liked U2's Rattle & Hum album

[Semi_subversive]

20. They Only Come Out at Night

Edgar Winter Group

[LynneSin]

22. LED ZEPPELIN II

My funeral song is on there: Ramble On
My Life's Theme song is on there: What is and what should never be
My Wedding Song is on there: Thank You

And baby the best sex line is on there: "Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg, The way you squeeze my lemon,
I..i’m gonna fall right out of bed, yeah."

[vi5]

1. Yeah, not many people know about that one......

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[rjbcar27]

4. Good choice.

:-)

[dwckabal]

6. The Lemon Song

that line was stolen from Robert Johnson's Travelling Riverside Blues

[INTELBYTES]

9. In My Time Of Dying - also stolen from Bob Dylan

Why does the credit say Page/Plant on Physical Graffiti? The lyrics are almost word for word stolen from Dylan. I think it's on his first album, but I could be mistaken.

[Loonman]

23. House of Love

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000AF99/ref=m_art_li_1/102-7098472-1912165?v=glance&s=music

[Screaming Lord Byron]

32. Which one? House of Love #1?

[Loonman]

33. Butterfly one

n/t

[Screaming Lord Byron]

35. Ah, #2. Very good.

[gttim]

25. In the CD player now.

<I>I like the Refreshments (Big buzzy fuzzy wuzzy or some shit title like that)</I>

One of the best roadtrip albums ever made. A shame they aren't together anymore.

[Atman]

26. A3 - Exhile on Coldharbour Lane

Addictive, socialist, spiritual, revolutionary, and danceable.

A pure joy to listen to. Every track runs together to create a phenomenal whole.

[mac56]

27. "Heat Treatment" by Graham Parker & The Rumour

"The Great Puzzle" by Jules Shear
Anything by the Spongetones
"Toy Plane" by David Grahame

[RandomKoolzip]

39. Ah, Graham Parker...why wasn't that guy a huge star?

Early Graham is the best. I miss pub rock!

[Atman]

44. Parker is great

I'm almost glad he didn't make it huge. I'd be sick of half his songs by now. I have several Graham Parker cd's and they're all good. Fantastic lyricist!

[CPschem]

28. Uncle Tupelo

"Anthology" Damn good.

[Cheswick2.0]

36. Tosca, Pavorotti and Freni

I love it.

[GumboYaYa]

37. "Kind of Blue"

by Miles Davis is my favorite all time, but most people have heard of that. I can listen to this album over and over and not get tired of it.

As far as no one has heard about "Ash Wednesday Blues" by Anders Osborne. He has a great slide guitar sound and uses a sousaphone for bass. I love the rich sound of the sousaphone.

[SiobhanClancy]

38. Verdi's Requiem~Sutherland,Horne,Pavarotti,Solti

It's a work of majesty. It's really hard to pick one favorite,because there are so many genres.

[arwalden]

40. Soundtrack to "CAR WASH"

(work and work! well those cars never seem to stop comin')

[Esurientes]

41. Bucketland 2

It has a lot of pretty classical/Spanish type guitar. And then it has the songs with Bootsie Collins!

Has anyone heard anything Buckethead's done with Guns 'n' Roses?

[Esurientes]

42. Sorry, BucketHEADland 2

n/t

[VOX]

43. Paul Butterfield -- "East-West"

Came out in late 1966, and it still sounds great today. Incredibly tight band, great solos, gets the blood UP!

:toast:

[rbnyc]

45. Sky Motel, Kristin Hersh.

The Latest Throwing Muses is a close second.

[Skittles]

46. Rainbow Rising

YES INDEED

[ACK]

47. Double Nickels on the Dime by the Minutemen or ...

New Day Rising by Husker Du.

I love postpunk.

[Forkboy]

62. Double Nickels is one fantastic piece of work

We miss you D. Boon!

[arwalden]

48. Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack

[fameless]

49. Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

or Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark or Neil Young - Tonights the Night or Springsteen - Nebraska

my parents raised me on good tunes

[XNASA]

50. OK Computer

At least, today it is.

[kodi]

51. american beauty

jerry's voice was still sweet, the boys harmonies were first-rate, and it gave us robert hunter's best work.

i wore out 3-4 vinyls of it in high school and college and am on my 3rd cd of it.

there's nothing like listening to it on a cold rainy day like today.

and if you look real close, the album cover says it all..."question reality"

[mvd]

52. Beatles - 1

I know it doesn't have all of their best songs, but anything that pulls together 27 Beatles songs from different eras has to be #1 in my book.

[GumboYaYa]

56. Hey MVD, I haven't seen you around here

for awhile. I've missed your music threads. Have I not been looking hard enough or have you been spending less time here? Whichever its is, it's good to see you again.

[mvd]

58. Yes, been busy

trying to enhance the non-DU parts of my life - but rest assured, I'll be back. I still read, but might remain scarce with the posting until after the holidays.

Thanks for asking. :hi:

[dolo amber]

53. Bah!

This is like asking me to choose between my children...x(

Probably My Bloody Valentine "Loveless" or Sonic Youth "Evol".

Yes.

No, wait...

Well, yes.

[Forkboy]

54. Wrong by NoMeansNo

or The Sky Is Falling And I Want My Mommy by Jello Biafra with NoMeansNo.
