This thread inspired me to put on Paris 1919 for the first time in ages, but it wasn't long until I realized I wasn't in the mood for this at all. I might be able to contribute to this thread some other time.

The only Belhaven I've had is their Wee Heavy, and I can't say I cared much for it. Too caramely for my liking.

Johnnie Walker. No one expects you to get the Blue label, but definitely strive for the Green. Or Gold, if you're feeling frisky.

I was skimming through some of those old Gang Wars threads and I mostly regret the my incessant use of "!"

I don't even know what's going on anymore. Not caring about TSM or impending senility due to old age? You decide.

What's on the syllabus for that, al.

Harvey Milk is the best Athens band no one talks about.

Sticky Exile Beggar's Their Majesty's and...uh...Some Girls? Not in any order, but I'd guess those are 1-5. Switch 2 and 3 and you got it. In spite of what I said earlier, number six switches between Let It Bleed and Between the Buttons.

They can have it.

"Monkey Man" is awesome, fuck you. And while Let It Be isn't as dire as some would have you believe, it's still a bunch of tossed-off piffle. Also, Let It Bleed is my sixth favorite Stones album, lest you think I have some gigantic boner for it.

The Replacements' Let It Be is really good, btw, but about fifteen years too late to participate.

Important.

You Sallys done jizzin' your panties?

I don't think anyone's going to argue with that.

I often read "Kreese" so that it rhymes with "Sensei."

List irrelevant due to glaring absence of Siamese Dream.

Let's not kid around: "25 Or 6 To 4” is a fucking awesome song.

Number One: Numbers Two through Ten: some other stuff

Good thread.

I love you.

uhm, no. I just noticed this, and yes. Why? John Cale didn't understand this band at all. I hate his production on the original Stooges recording of it, as well as the rest of the album it came from. Too clean and sterile; plus, mixing Iggy's vocals so high in the mix was total idiocy. Why attract attention to the lyrics, which was the one bad thing about the band? Had the s/t been less sanitary and more sleazy like Fun House, I would never have stated the above. I don't really want to be a jerk here, but I'm just going to have to shut you down on that one. First of all, I agree-- he Uncle Tupelo version is better. And the mixing on the first Stooges album IS very unfit for the group's sound. But, John Cale doesn't have as much to do with the poor mixing as you think. John Cale PRODUCED the album, sure, but it should be noted that when he turned the album in to Elektra Records in 1969, the sound WAS slightly sleazier and the vocals WERE lower in the mix. It was actually Elektra head Jac Holzman who took the album, and remixed it in the way that it was eventually presented. He himself raised the volume of the vocals in order to make the sound more commercial and whatnot. So, yeah-- not John Cale. I'll give you the mixing, but the production is still Cale's doing, so yes, he deserves blame.

And there's one right there.

I almost made this thread, but realized I didn't want to read all the stupid "funny" posts that would result.

Anti Pop Consortium barely qualifies as hip hop.

I actually listened to that album, as I had to review it back in the early days of my college radio tenure. I remember nothing it about other than mediocrity.
