Your Five Favorite Anything

[Gary Floyd]

Top five Skinny Puppy albums

 

 

1: Last Rights

2: Ain't It Dead Yet

3: Cleanse, Fold and Manipulate

4: The Greater Wrong of The Right

5: The Process

 

For me, it's

 

1.) Last Rites

2.) Too Dark Park

3.) VivisectVI

4.) Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse (Because "God's Gift Maggot" is the best song title ever)

5.) The Process.

[Buggerhen]

I've always felt that Mind, despite having some good tracks on (God's Gift Maggot, Stairs & Flowers), came off as more of a prototype for their later successes...

[Toshiaki Koala]

Albums of the nineties:

 

1. In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel

2. 69 Love Songs - The Magnetic Fields

3. The Chemical Wedding - Bruce Dickinson

4. The Charm Of The Highway Strip - The Magnetic Fields

5. Gentlemen - The Afghan Whigs

[Smartly Pretty]

Is it dense of me to say that 69 Love Songs is too fucking long? There's a lot of good shit there, that's a solid 2 hours of fucking magnetic fields right there, man. I can't handle all of that. And most of my favorite songs are spread out from disc to disc, so it's not like i can say "well i like disc x much better than all the others" and listen to that one.

No, I get the most enjoyment out of it when I put it on shuffle and listen to maybe 45 minutes to an hour of music. The whole thing in one dose is pretty overwhelming even if I like almost every song individually.

Nothing from Alice!?

[Edwin MacPhisto]

"Lost in the Harbour" was in consideration, but couldn't quite get there. From the 2002 releases, "Another Man's Vine" would edge it out as well.

[PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH!]

It was the first Waits album I heard (purchased from Wal-Mart!) and so I have a special fondness for it. The title track and "Barcarolle" tug at my heartstrings like few other things.

[godthedog]

pork roll egg and cheese?

 

Where the fuck is the Stallion, mang??

 

just to make it easier, i only chose the tracks on 'the pod' that counted as real songs. i do love lines like "A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-S-T-A-L-L-I-O-N, i am the stallion, mang" and "on my dick you should sit," but it's just noodling.

[Toshiaki Koala]

Magnetic Fields songs:

 

1. Fear of Trains

2. All My Little Words

3. Busby Berkeley Dreams

1. The Modern Age - Is This It

2. Reptilia - Room On Fire

3. New York City Cops - Is This It (UK)

[godthedog]

beastie boys now:

 

1. paul's boutique

1a. shake your rump

1b. hey ladies

1c. the sounds of science

1d. car thief

1e. high plains drifter

 

2. check your head

2a. gratitude

2b. so what'cha want

2c. the maestro

2d. something's got to give

2e. jimmy james

 

3. licensed to ill

3a. brass monkey

3b. she's crafty

3c. the new style

3d. paul revere

3e. rhymin' and stealin'

 

4. ill communication

4a. sabotage

4b. sabrosa

4c. sure shot

4d. futterman's rule

4e. tough guy

 

5. hello nasty

5a. super disco breakin'

5b. intergalactic

5c. three MC's and one DJ

5d. the negotiation limerick file

5e. remote control

 

nothing terribly interesting or surprising about that list. i'd really like to put 'ill communication' as high as 2, just because it's got my favorite unified sound & texture of all their albums (the instrumentals especially really shine), but the songs just aren't that great on the whole. 'hello nasty' is sort of useless, even at its best.
