Post #16,359 by bepatient 11/3/01 1:27:25 PM Reply	All who post here... ...continue to be welcome to the 7/4 festivities. And hopefully they can stay awhile...except for maybe the guys from northern California...although after the initial kaffe insult...the gentleman in question did finally realize that he could drink the host's coffee...and it was actually good. Seriously though, prayers to you and yours that the little ones stay happy and healthy through this...I can't imagine the anger.

Post #16,317 by ChrisR 11/3/01 3:21:01 AM Reply	My choice... ...would be to add Dylan's Blonde on Blonde as the best rock album of all time, and Blood on the Tracks is a must... :-) 1 Who's Next Strongly Agreed though I would put it 2nd or 3rd. 6. Willie Nelson's Stardust I prefer folk, bluegrass or cajun music. Doc Watson anyone? 8. Anything by Janice Joplin Only the album with Big Brother and the holding company qualifies. 9. Altamont Concert (stones) I like Let It Bleed better. Hmmmm. What else. Guess I listen to a lot of Dead these days, but I guess I'm mellowing out (and it's not so much an album as a concert played over 25 years). And the only music of recent vintage would be weezer's green album. Oh, and I almost forgot: Where's Madonna, Britney, InSync? Surely their sales volume indicates high quality? :-)
Post #16,321 by static 11/3/01 5:05:54 AM Reply	heh heh heh I'm in two minds about entering this "contest" because my taste in music is rather different to the samples exhibited so far. For instance, some years ago when I was casting about for some of my music to horrify my friends with at a LAN party, I was disappointed that all it took was something so depressingly mainstream as ... ... wait for it ... The Spice Girls. Wade. "All around me are nothing but fakes Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"
Post #16,331 by wharris2 11/3/01 9:17:32 AM Reply	Laughing Now there's a good argument for ripping CD's and burning your own. A CD without that really wanna annoying song would be quite playable. As it is, if (as I do) you have a CD set to random play, you just have to grit your teeth and try to ignore it for the 3 or 4 minutes the torture lasts.

Post #16,342 by boxley 11/3/01 11:01:57 AM Reply	well I do like some of the newer stuff Creed is really good, mettalica and whatever axel rose puts together. Really like latino thrash music(combo merigue and metal) Alan jackson is good. Maddona, Spice Girls, brittany etc are great for parties cause they are dancable and you can talk over them, but dont grab my emotions. Enrique Iglesias is awsome but ricky martin blows. thanx, bill tshirt front "born to die before I get old" thshirt back "fscked another one didnja?"
Post #16,440 by Meerkat 11/4/01 7:52:49 AM Reply	I think that one nearly answered itself? In so far as ... "something so depressingly mainstream" ... which would be one of the main things I have against their output. Still, horses for courses and all that, I'm just not a horse for that course. ( But hey I'll jump in the 'Top Albums' fray, but I've seen High Fidelity and can sympathise with the impossibility of compiling an 'all time top 5' But anyway, some off the top of my head... (no particular order) Stone Roses - Stone Roses Blur - Parklife Ride - Going Blank Again Scott Walker - Scott 4 Divine Comedy - Fin de siecle, or maybe Cassanova Muse - Origin of Symmetry Whatever, all depends on what mood I'm in I guess. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.
Post #16,527 by static 11/4/01 9:47:25 PM Reply	Very mood-oriented. For instance, although I quite like Billy Idol's Cyberpunk, I do definitely have to be in the right mood to sit down and listen to it. Contrariwise, other music I will get into the mood for as I listen to. Wade. "All around me are nothing but fakes Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"
Post #16,329 by Another Scott 11/3/01 9:04:15 AM Reply	Whew, how to rank things.... I like your 1, 2, and 10. I'm not much of a Janice nor Willy fan. I don't believe I can make an "all time" favorites list. In no particular order, some of my favorites are: Pete Townshend, "Empty Glass", "White City", "Who Came First" Todd Rundgren, "Something/Anything?" and "A Capella" Utopia, "The Road to Utopia" (one of Todd's bands) Shriekback, "Oil and Gold" Depeche Mode, "Violator" Dave Matthews Band, "Under the Table and Dreaming" Bruce Springsteen, "Darkness on the Edge of Town" Seal, "Seal" Sarah McLaclan, "Solace" Tori Amos, "Little Earthquakes" XTC, "Skylarking" Rush, "2112", "Hemispheres" (I think, I don't have it. Whatever album has "Red Barchetta") Muddy Waters, "Charly Blues Legends Live, Vol, 2, Chicago 1979" (the version of Manish Boy on there is such fun.) Kate Bush, "The Whole Story" (a greatest hits collection) Fleetwood Mac, "Rumors" The Damned, "The Light at the End of the Tunnel" (a greatest hits collection that, along with the Dead Kennedys got me through graduate school. :-) Elvis Costello's early stuff Peter Gabriel, "Shaking the Tree" (another greatest hits) Jethro Tull, "Original Masters" (yet another greatest hits) Midnight Oil, "Blue Sky Mining" - They're touring again! We're going to see them on Monday. :-) I need to buy some new music one of these days. I'll probably get more Matthews, some Ben Folds stuff ("Rocking the Suburbs" is hilarious and well done), and some Bare Naked Ladies (they're fun live). Pete would probably take 50% of my top 10 songs. Cheers, Scott.

Gerard Schwartz's performance of the Haydn Trumpet Concerto, with original cadenza. Mozart. Everything. Bach. Chopin. Stravinsky. Prokofiev. Alb\ufffdniz. Haydn. ... Maria Callas singing (most any) aria. Amelita Galli-Curci singing anything. Reginald Kell playing anything for clarinet. Wynton Marsalis playing anything classical. ('Jazz' is a term as individualized in meaning - as any religious dogma is) Bix Beiderbecke - playing anything. Maynard Ferguson playing [what else] Shorty Rogers's composition, Maynard, with the Stan Kenton orchestra. Brubeck.. Take Five, Kathy's Waltz Beatles' Abbey Road (True-color snapshot from a now-dead actually Hopeful era) Willie Nelson's Stardust Billie Holliday. Audrey Hepburn's Moon River (version liked best by the composer, as well) Rafael Mendez - Mexican trumpet writ Large. Harry Belafonte. Opera, Flamenco, String quartets and all chamber music. Sousa's Band - sitting or marching. Arthur Pryor on trombone and Herbert L. Clarke on cornet. Phillip McCann - contemporary UK 'colliery' cornet player + dozens of Colliery Bands past and present. Oh well. So little time. So much to have missed, still. A. Edited by Missing User 70 Nov. 3, 2001, 02:37:30 PM EST Expand All History
Post #16,412 by boxley 11/3/01 11:42:25 PM Reply	what no Aznavour? He is one of my fav singers Music to me must reach into my chest and pull out my heart. My picks were both philosophy and lifestyle, not sheer enjoyment. Chuck Aznavour is a class entertainer, Nana Mouskouri, Buffy Ste. Marie, John Lee Hooker, So many so little time. thanx, bill tshirt front "born to die before I get old" thshirt back "fscked another one didnja?"
Post #16,439 by Meerkat 11/4/01 7:51:10 AM Reply	I haven't heard Audrey Hepburn's Moon River But you reminded me that I reckon a very good version of it was done by Morrissey, of all people. Goes for about nine minutes I think, but doesn't really feel like it at all. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.
Post #16,485 by Ashton 11/4/01 5:28:16 PM Reply	Believe it was released as a single, but not certain. Audrey sang it (no dubs) in Breakfast at Tiffany's and it was that performance he called, ~ "closest to what he 'meant' in writing the song" - over ~100 others. A.
