Tom Waits. And Steve Perry. Oh yeah. SOME DAY LOVE WILL FIND YOU BREAK THOSE CHAINS THAT BIND YOU! ONE NIGHT WILL REMIND YOU HOW WE TOUCHED AND WENT OUR SEPERATE WAAAAAAAAAYS!

You would argue this over London Calling? Can't BOTH be essential? I'd consider an "essential" album to be something of a landmark. London Calling is certainly a landmark album; nothing else the Clash did--regardless of quality--is a milestone. Sometimes it doesn't have to be your favorite album by a particular band. What's generally considered the essential VU album is the first one, and, while I like it a great deal, I prefer White Light/White Heat and the self-titled third record. Still, I wouldn't deny The Velvet Underground & Nico its place in the sun. Oh, I haven't noticed it in this thread (and if it has been mentioned, I apologize), but Miles Davis' Kind of Blue is The Jazz Album to Start With.

The best thing about this thread (and Eagan, remove the fucking picture) is this: I'll follow you anywhere, Insane Bump Machine.

I couldn't be bothered to read all that, but I worked at Blockbuster five years ago. The supreme idiocy of the clientele made getting fired a little easier.

I--along with a couple of friends--went to Gainesville today. The bulk of what you see hear comprised of what we listened whilst driving: Miles Davis--In a Silent Way Miles Davis--Get Up With It The Lounge Lizards--s/t Tom Waits--Closing Time Anal Cunt--It Just Gets Worse Sigur Ros--( ) Tindersticks--Curtains The first Davis album listed was actually listened to before I even left the house (it was my morning wake up music); the Tindersticks album was purchased in Gainesville--haven't given it a spin yet, but will before the night is through.

No worries, mates.

Nah, it was me. It was something I'd written a few years ago.

This was me.

You would argue this over London Calling?

KK's right: you hit on kinda the exact opposite of the truth. His folk-rock fans booed the hell out of him when he plugged in. In hindsight, of course everyone loves it, but at the time he got tore up. And also during his Jesus period of the late 70s/early 80s.

It's what living in Florida does to you.

"The Undefeated"--Super Furry Animals I wasn't too hot on Phantom Power during the first couple of listens, but it has grown on me quite a bit.

Oh hey, guys. I actually went out and got my dick sucked last night. Sorry for ruining that solidarity thing we had going.

Hey, TC. We've had some good times, haven't we?

"Get Back in Line"--The Kinks

I've said all that needs to be said about this thread.

idiot Fuck you, man. That's a perfectly cromulant phrase.

Only half of the album is about the Ziggy character.

I prefer the shorter, more brutish name. "Rex" just stretches it out needlessly.

Hey, thanks for reminding me.

Great to drink Starbucks to.

I prefer the random banning idea.
