[QUOTE=_Mote_;13879571]Any other Smiths albums you think I should own would be awesome.[/QUOTE]

i'd go with all of them. louder than bombs, [B]hatful of hollow[/B], [B]s/t [/B]and strangeways, here we come are all essentials to me. you could probably leave out strangeways but those three are essentials. for morrissey i'd recommend vauxhall and i and viva hate

1. Brian Wilson - 55
2. The Police - 31
3. ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - 19
4. Alice in Chains - 18
5. Gnarls barkley - 12
6. Cursive - 11
7. Lynyrd Skynyrd - 10
8. 2Pac - 8
8. Galaxie 500 - 8
10. The Mars Volta - 6

Cool thanks man.

Would it be possible you could upload those into the album trading thread?

heck yes. just tell me what you want.

[I]Strangeways[/I] is the best Smiths album. Book it.

Aw noes. It's like they finally got the production up to the level of the songwriting. So as an [I]album[/I], it's the best.

[QUOTE]Strangeways is the best Smiths album. Book it.[/QUOTE]
thats what i say too but most disagree so i don't feel confident giving it out as a recommendation right away.

[QUOTE=Jacaranda;13879620]heck yes. just tell me what you want.[/QUOTE]

Hateful Hallow and the s/t would be kick[COLOR="Black"]a[/COLOR]ss.

And Strangeways if you think I should on that.
Maybe the reason why I didn't immediatly like the Smiths was because I only bought Meat is Murder.

ya wow bad call on meat is murder its a great album but i'm glad i didn't start with it.

MIM is definitely their worst. That's their only release I don't listen to with any regularity.

And man, when the strings bust in on "Girlfriend in a Coma" or they start jamming at the end of "Death of a Disco Dancer" with Moz on piano, I feel confident in saying they were the best band of the 80s.

I almost bought a Dick Dale album a few days ago, but I ended up holding back until I could find it cheaper.

12 $ seemed a bit steep, and I had to finish x-mas shopping too.

Who is this M. Ward clown?

The best singer/songwriter around at the moment, probably.

No, that title goes to Mr. Joseph Arthur.

I still can't believe most of you guys haven't heard of him.

Minutemen - Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat, and The Punch Line
Husker Du - Zen Arcade
Black Flag - Who's Got the 10 1/2
Big Black - Songs About Fu.cking
Mission of Burma - Vs
Gang of Four - Entertainment!
Wire - Pink Flag

Wolves in the Throne Room - [i]Diadem of 12 Stars[/i]
Agalloch - [i]Ashes Against the Grain[/i]

i too, listened to jerome's dream 50 times

!!! never really appealed to me either.

I didn't like 'Let's take Ecstacy' (i think that's what it was called) all that much. I agree, they're good songs, but they don't have the specific fealing that I'm really looking for.

Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
memories... i lost this a long time ago and picked it up a few days ago. still makes me laugh, but that's normal ain't it, norman?

Glenn Branca - Symphony No 2

The first movement is incredible, but nothing else has really impressed me a lot yet. I'm going to get the first symphony next, definitely.

I only got 2 CD's for Christmas today, but I've been listening to them in between playing with my phone and boring dinner conversations...

[I]Minutemen - Double Nickles on the Dime
Big Black - Rich Man's 8-Track[/I]

Albini's rant in the Big Black notes is easily worth the price for it alone :lol:
