The Beatles - [I]Rubber Soul[/I]
The Beatles - [I]Revolver[/I]
The Beatles - [I]Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band[/I]
The Beatles - [I]The White Album[/I]
The Beatles - [I]Abbey Road[/I]
The Beatles - [I]Let it Be[/I]

So I listened to [I]Rubber Soul[/I] this morning and then I couldn't stop.

It was a good day.

Talking Heads - The Name of the Band is Talking Heads

It totally pwns Stop Making Sense.

Daniel! 11-07-2005 11:25 PM

Sonic Youth - Washing Machine
Meat Puppets - Too High to Die

Washing Machine is a quality album.

YDload 11-08-2005 12:41 AM

HUM- "Apollo"

I must not have heard this particular song very often, but it's really quite beautiful. So quiet and subdued as opposed to the rest of the album.

Dntel - [i]Life Is Full of Possibilities[/i]

Nice.

John Vanderslice - [I]Five Years[/I] just arrived in the post today and since I'm off work ill I thought I'd give it a spin. I've listened to two tracks so far and I'm liking it. It has all the Vanderslice songs I've previously listened to on it which is good. (It's kind of like a best of compilation thing)

As long as you're referring to the CD version, you're right. That two-CD set is ridiculously fantastic.

br3ad_man 11-08-2005 05:23 AM

That's my friend's favourite Talking Heads album. I've kind of ignored it because it's a live album.

OrbDragon 11-08-2005 06:07 AM

I'm actually liking the song "Summer Skin" by Death Cab For Cutie, which is a first.

It's a great song, one of my favourite off [I]Plans[/I].

br3ad_man 11-08-2005 06:36 AM

Is [i]Plans[/i] good? I seriously think Trans is the best, I've heard We Have The Facts and The Photo Album many times and none of them come close for me.

Interstate 11-08-2005 06:50 AM

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Is [i]Plans[/i] good? I seriously think Trans is the best, I've heard We Have The Facts and The Photo Album many times and none of them come close for me.[/QUOTE]

I didn't like it too much at first but it's become one of my favourite albums of this year. Personally nothing can top [I]...Facts[/I] though. [I]Transatlanticism[/I] is also a brilliant album. Give [I]You Can Play Songs With These Chords[/I] a spin, it's a compilation of early demos, B-sides and rarities - that's my second favourite and a great example of the bands early work.

Of course I am a Death Cab fan(atic) so I might be a bit bias.

Luxor 11-08-2005 09:25 AM

If you think [i]Transatlanticism[/i] is their best album, then you will like [i]Plans[/i].

6Stringer 11-08-2005 09:44 AM

The only DCFC album I own is [I]We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes[/I], it's a good album.

Today I listened to Of Montreal - [I]Cherry Peel[/I]

Luxor 11-08-2005 10:33 AM

I'm listening to Pedro The Lion for the first time in a long time. They're pretty good.

JonM 11-08-2005 11:51 AM

I saw Pedro open for Death Cab. I liked them. I liked them both, actually, but this was back before [i]Plans[/i] came out.

YDload 11-08-2005 03:27 PM

HUM- [i]Downward is Heavenward[/i]

This is undoubtedly the best modern rock album from the late 90s that there is. I mean, it's certainly good, but what else from that genre could beat it? Creed?! Gimme a break.

Happymeal 11-08-2005 03:35 PM

Lilys
Circulatory System
Wire
[SIZE=1]Deathspell Omega[/SIZE]

I've really been getting into Pink Floyd lately. It sounds so lame, but even though they've been around for ages, I never really got into them until now. But they're incredible.

Bob Dylan
Simon & Garfunkel

That would be a really good show. Nice and mellow. I just saw DC a couple weeks ago, but this band Youthgroup opened for them. They weren't bad, but Pedro would have been muuuch better.

BillCosby 11-08-2005 08:34 PM

My English teacher was playing [I]Plans[/I] in class today. It didn't do anything for me.

They had some catchy tracks. One of them I think I've actually heard before as well, I don't know where though. Not interesting enough for me to get an album, though.

Stevie Wonder - [I]Innervisions[/I]. I forgot how funky this album is.

Bauhaus
The Cocteau Twins

Absolutely.

Gastr del Sol

Little Man being Erased 11-09-2005 04:08 PM

[QUOTE=Interstate]Stevie Wonder - Innervisions. I forgot how funky this album is.[/QUOTE]
I've been looking for that album for a long while.


Dig:

Pixies - [I]Doolittle[/I]
At the moment I don't really see this as being much more than a 4/5 album. It's good and I enjoy it, but it's not perfect.

Talking Heads - [I]More Songs About Buildings and Food[/I]
After a few more listens, the first and last tracks are awesome and definite standouts, but the rest of the album is pretty great as well. 4/5.

Robert Crumb 11-09-2005 04:59 PM

The Who and Robert Wyatt. I've only got a little Soft Machine and I kinda figured what to expect with Robert Wyatt but [I]Rock Bottom[/I] is very interesting. "Alifieb" and "Alife" are overwhemingly beautiful songs.

Zappa 11-09-2005 05:21 PM
