Your Five Favorite Anything

[PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH!]

4.) Ghostface Killah-Fishscale

 

I never really got what people see in this album. I love Supreme Clientele and Ironman and I think Ghost was the second best part of Cuban Linx (behind RZA's career-best production work), but Fishscale always felt kind of sloppy and unfinished to me. It's certainly got some great stuff on it, but it just doesn't seem to hold together the way the best Wu-Tang stuff does. Maybe it's the complete lack of RZA (or even Mathematics) beats?

[Ravenbomb]

Top 5 Frank Zappa songs:

Top 5 film scores:

1) Requiem for a Dream

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

I think we've corrupted Ravenbomb with the Zappa.

 

I haven't done a Zappa list in a while, now that I think of it.

 

1. Big Swifty (Waka/Jawaka)

2. Black Napkins (Zoot Allures)

3. Inca Roads (Helsinki Concert)

4. Advance Romance (Bongo Fury)

5. City of Tiny Lights (Sheik Yerbouti)

[Guest Richard McBeef]

Tough to dispute any of those. I'd probably go with Watermelon, Outside Now (from Broadway), What's New In Baltimore?, City of Tiny Lites, and Black Napkins, though.

album intermissions (skits don't count):

 

1. blur - "the debt collector", parklife

2. ween - "the HIV song", chocolate & cheese

3. tool - "intermission", aenima

4. tori amos - "mr. zebra", boys for pele

5. nine inch nails - "big man with a gun", the downward spiral

 

five is sort of a borderline case, as you could sort of argue that it's a real song. i think it counts because it's only a minute & a half long, it's obviously a throwaway that doesn't quite fit the tone of the album, it's the only track that sort of has a sense of humor, and it serves a preparatory function for "a warm place."

[Henry Spencer]

I'd try my hand at an album intermissions list, but it would be all Guided By Voices songs.

[godthedog]

please do, i've never gotten around to checking them out and it might give me a unique view into their signature sound.

Paragon is like 15 so I can believe he's never heard any of those songs.

Now that you are an adult, you should listen to it again and appreciate how awesome it is.
