I'm listening to [I]Remain in Light[/I], too. I can't decide on a favorite Talking Heads album. They are so unbelievable.

Little Man being Erased 03-14-2006 06:40 PM

I desperately need more Talking Heads albums. Specifically, [I]Talking Heads '77[/I].

It'd be nice to be able to say this, to talk the band up to people, but I like [i]Talking Heads '77[/i] too much.

After that it gets difficult, though.

YDload 03-14-2006 06:47 PM

Bear Vs. Shark is/was a pretty good band. Their first album is better than [i]Terrorhawk[/i] though, unless I've got the order mixed up.

Little Man being Erased 03-14-2006 06:51 PM

Yeah I like what I've heard from those guys.

Iai 03-14-2006 07:00 PM

Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better
Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats
The Jam - All Mod Cons
Slick Rick - The Great Adventures....

Little Man being Erased 03-14-2006 07:04 PM

The Drones - [I]Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By[/I]
Hot Snakes - [I]Automatic Midnight[/I]

I'm not sure what you mean.

Bartender 03-14-2006 07:15 PM

Just that I'd like to be able to tell people that I'm unable to pick a favourite Talking Heads record, because they're all so brilliant, but I'm too honest and would cave and have to tell them that actually [i]'77[/i] is it.

It was nothing really.

Zappa 03-14-2006 07:20 PM

Ah, I got it now.

[I]Talking Heads: '77[/I] is brilliant. So is [I]More Songs About Buildings and Food[/I]. So is [I]Remain in Light[/I]. The other three in their first six are flawed but great.

It's ridiculous.

I'm a frothing fanboy.

Zebra 03-14-2006 07:27 PM

Fear of Music is very underated. Although it's not as good as [I]Talking Heads: '77[/I], [I]Remain in Light[/I] or [I]More Songs About Food and Buildings[/I] it's still an excellent album.

Zappa 03-14-2006 07:42 PM

I don't think it's VERY underrated. "Animals" and especially "Electric Guitar" are the first major missteps in the bands career, in my opinion. When compared to what's before and immediately after, it's easy to look down on it. That's not to say some of it doesn't rank with their best. Look at "Life During Wartime" and "I Zimbra" for that.

Little Man being Erased 03-14-2006 08:45 PM

Gang of Four - [I]Solid Gold[/I]

I've decided that this album is very close to being as good as [I]Entertainment![/I]

Entertainment isn't.. that good, so.

I'm sorry but you are mistaken kind sir. It is that good.

Glitterati 03-14-2006 09:39 PM

Today I've been listening to

Johnny Cash - Live At Folsom Prison
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

Two awesome albums.

Now I'm listening to Roy Orbison's Greatest Hits.

Having great taste in music is....great.

Dude3 03-14-2006 10:27 PM

Desaparecidos

Woah, I really need to get their album, badly.

Little Man being Erased 03-14-2006 10:57 PM

[QUOTE=EightMilesHigh]Today I've been listening to

Good sh[size=2]it[/size]. I think I'll listen to [I]Ziggy[/I] next and some Johnny Cash later.

rbv 03-15-2006 12:15 AM

Johnny Cash's covers are the best, all of them is better than the original.

Little Man being Erased 03-15-2006 01:20 AM

David Bowie - [I]Ziggy Stardu[/I]st
Weezer - [I]Pinkerton[/I]

br3ad_man 03-15-2006 02:23 AM

[QUOTE=Robert Crumb]What, are we talking Big Star - I'm In Love With a Girl or Bob Dylan - Just Like a Woman?[/QUOTE]

Either, really. My friend was making all of these horny comments today typical of a 15 year old boy, so I've decided to make him a mix cd of songs with the word 'girl' in it. I'm just listening to songs like that at the moment.

I Was A Kaleidoscope 03-15-2006 03:51 AM

Tapes 'n Tapes - The Loon
Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister

br3ad_man 03-15-2006 04:17 AM

[i]OK Computer[/i].

"No Surprises" makes me feel good.

Zappa 03-15-2006 05:28 AM

[QUOTE=br3ad_man][i]OK Computer[/i].

"No Surprises" makes me feel good.[/QUOTE]

Really? It, like the rest of that album, makes me feel like sh[COLOR="White"]i[/COLOR]t.

br3ad_man 03-15-2006 05:37 AM

It depends, if I'm feeling unhappy or wierd at the time, "No Surprises", "Let Down" and "Airbag" all make me feel pretty good. I think "No Surprises" is the ultimate bad day song.

pixiesfanyo 03-15-2006 05:39 AM

[I]No Surprises[/I] is just the ultimate song.

I Was A Kaleidoscope 03-15-2006 07:03 AM

Tapes 'n Tapes - [I]The Loon[/I]

And I dunno, he just sounds so bored when he sings [I]No Surprises[/I] and [I]Let Down[/I], to me anyway.

OrbDragon 03-15-2006 07:49 AM

Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit
Joni Mitchell - Blue
Zero 7 - Simple Things
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother

I'm seeing David Gilmour next Monday

JonM 03-15-2006 10:53 AM

Dude I was gonna see him, but I don't think it's happening. I did get his new album, though, and I was pleasantly surprised. I really like it.

Iai 03-15-2006 11:07 AM

I really like that record too.
