Ok...One from each decade that I've buying music.....

1970s - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis

1980s - So - Peter Gabriel

1990s - OK Computer - Radiohead

2000s - Edit Music for a Film: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Reconstruction Disc 2 - UNKLE

...and a wildcard all time favourite..

Girls, Girls, Girls - Elvis Costello's Greatest Hits


Wow. VERY nicely done. I'd probably toss "So". Like it but don't LOVE it. I'd throw "PG Plays Live" in there instead. OK Computer is brilliant and always in my ipod. The crescendo in "Let Down" gives me chills every time I hear it. And when people think that 80's music is such MTV crap like Culture Club and all that synthesized, over-produced pop i point to Elvis Costello, R.E.M., U2, Peter Gabriel and, yes, Grateful Dead and ask, "Why?"
2009 goals:
Run a marathon or two and run 2000 miles
Supa Dupa Fly
Radiohead - OK Computer
Weezer - Pinkerton and the Blue Album
311 - Transistor
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
DMB - Under the table and dreaming
ABBA - Gold
Everclear - So much for the afterglow
Jane's Addiction - Nothings Shocking
Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Prince - Purple Rain
Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind

Paradise is arguably the greatest Karaoke song ever. At least for a duo. Especially if you've got the Phil Rizzuto bit memorized. And can find a partner to make out with you while you sing it.


Alright, you can handle the Phil Rizzuto bit, but I am not gonna make out with you.

Dude. Chill. We'll only get to third base. And you're no Lance Bass.

This is a swamp conversation, isn't it?

Things I've learned at RA today:

If you wanna score with the ladies, wear women's underwear and listen to really lame '80s bands. They love that.

Oh, don't worry about him.. The ape isn't trouble. He gets worked up and throws his poop at us every now and then, but he's really harmless. And he's in a foul mood because Tanya owns him.

I'm only harmless if you like poop.

Actually, I was thinking the same thing last night. It's not my favorite album. Not even my favorite album from the Beatles. But it managed to cover almost the entirety of 20th century popular music on 4 sides of vinyl. From surf-rock (Back in the USSR) to heavy metal (Helter Skelter) to folk (Blackbird) to music-hall vaudeville (Honey Pie) to avant garde weirdness (Revolution No. 9) to blues (Why Don't We Do It in the Road) to pure heart-wrenching beauty ("Julia").

An amazing album...one of my favorites. As long as you skip over everything that was released for the radio.

I like the stuff that was on the radio too, but i agree that the last 7 songs on the cd that weren't on the radio are AMAZING.

I moved up to Seattle in 95, just as grunge was kinda fading as a fad... anyway...

I do a thread every now and then called "movies which did not age gracefully". You know, stuff that seemed totally awesome at the time, but isn't that watchable these days.

If there was a similar thread for albums, Nirvana's Nevermind surely would make my list. Yeah, it was important at the time. I guess. But not really in the big scheme of things. I find 3/4ths of that album to be pretty boring really.

(that said, I still listen to the Nirvana Unplugged album from time to time. That's stood up much better than Nevermind... though maybe it's just because I'm old now and my ears can't take all those x7 (A7, etc) chords all distorted and played at 11.)
