Once again like I explained to Juggy with Hendrix, I will give you that "Thriller" is the greater album but I am going by what I favor the most and with MJ that is Off the Wall. I was content to just give one album here but a couple of wiseasses (well just ima but anyway...) had to "know" what other albums I liked. And me making this thread about me?? As you would say, "SRSLY??" This is coming from the biggest attention w**** on this board. You really don't know what irony means do you, amigo? Thankfully, I didn't have you on ignore or I would have missed that gem of a post.
1965 Greatest Song...Greatest Album Highway 61 Revisited Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son” Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on” God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?” God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but The next time you see me comin’ you better run” Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?” God says, “Out on Highway 61” Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose Welfare Department they wouldn’t give him no clothes He asked poor Howard where can I go Howard said there’s only one place I know Sam said tell me quick man I got to run Ol’ Howard just pointed with his gun And said that way down on Highway 61 Well Mack the Finger said to Louie the King I got forty red, white and blue shoestrings And a thousand telephones that don’t ring Do you know where I can get rid of these things And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son And he said yes I think it can be easily done Just take everything down to Highway 61 Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night Told the first father that things weren’t right My complexion she said is much too white He said come here and step into the light, he says hmm you’re right Let me tell the second mother this has been done But the second mother was with the seventh son And they were both out on Highway 61 Now the rovin’ gambler he was very bored He was tryin’ to create a next world war He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before But yes I think it can be very easily done We’ll just put some bleachers out in the sun And have it on Highway 61 And no bridges, unthinkable for 1965
And the irony is that they were 3rd billed. Blew everyone away, regardless. You would have loved it. Not unusual back then, when groups like Buffalo Springfield were 3rd billed behind Strawberry Alarm Clock at the Jefferson Airplane concert that I saw in Houston. Thanks for the heads-up on the documentary! -
Boy? Boy?! Ten inches hanging and enough hair on my ass to knit an Indian blanket and you call me boy?
My favorite album is the one that has the song where the lyrics go something like: Manny is an attention w**** his attempt of acceptance through music is a bore I wish he would do something more along the lines of Posting about posting about posting about... Britney Spears There is no favorite album for me. Favorite is meaningless. I am the world but I am not the children. Are we talking about favorite that has the most songs I want to listen to? Favorite album as a conceived entirety? Favorite performance of a collection of music? Favorite due to association with childhood/younger development? Drag. Burn. Coast.
My all time favorite - a CD that has a permanent spot in slots 1 and 2 of my cd player - Supertramp's Paris
So I posted, then went back and read the thread....and I am the only one who picked a Supertramp album (except Manny, who listed every album ever made). I think the musical mix Supertramp uses, combined with the lyrics, is the best sound ever made. I can listen to Paris every single day. i would have killed to be at that show! (Although I saw them three times in Houston)
The thread starter, dandorotik, likes them a lot. IMO, live albums are usually not better than the studio albums but there are some that are the exceptions to the rule. Although I picked "Breakfast in America", I could have gone with "Crime of the Century" instead as they are both fantastic albums.
I really didn't like Radiohead at all for years and years. One day I was as stoned as a adultress in Islamabad and I listened to OK Computer about 5 straight times all the way through and it literally destroyed my mind. I had no idea rock music perfection had been achieved.
Funny, she told me "that **** is a rip off" I mean she sized it up and said "I'm sorry but that **** is bull****" and jetted up out a b**** faster than Ron Artest at a Dropkick Murphys Concert.
