Dr. Zoidberg 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 I've got 40 bucks to spend, and last time I went, I saw a Destroying America/The End DVD two pack for 20 bucks, so I'm getting that, but with the other half of the money, i'm undecided. Help a brotha out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Odelay, by far. Regardless of whether you pick that one or not, do NOT get Ryan Adams' album. It's terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Cure's Disintegration is the best on that list. I also reccomend - Jeff Buckley - Grace Phantom Planet - s/t CSNY - So Far Neil Young - Greendale Audiovent - Dirty Sexy Knights in Parid David Bowie - The Deram Anthology Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5_moves_of_doom 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 I'd say that anything aside of the Ryan Adams will serve you well, and maybe even the Adams stuff... I just haven't heard that. As for other stuff... maybe Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde? I got that at the same time as Disintegration, and loved 'em both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Definitely go with Disinegration. Also consider the following: illadelph halflife- The Roots Slanted & Enchanted- Pavement No Doy- moe. Harvest Moon- Neil Young Armed Forces- Elvis Costello and the Attractions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Slanted & Enchanted- Pavement Get the expanded edition, Luxe & Redux. It's about the same price as a regular CD. Others to check out: Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin Red House Painters - Old Ramon Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home Nas - Illmatic These are albums that have been getting heavy rotation in my CD player lately.

justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Regardless of whether you pick that one or not, do NOT get Ryan Adams' album. It's terrible. I'm a huge Adams mark, and even I cannot defend that album. If you really want to hear Adams at his best, pick up Heartbreaker, or, if they carry it, check out Whiskeytown, an alt/country band that he fronted...specifically, check out Pneumonia.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Wire's Pink Flag. Fuck the Sex Pistols, Wire made the best British punk album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JebusNassedar Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Personally, I'd look into dredg's "el cielo" if you havent. Musical beauty. Another CD I recommend, along those lines, is Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's first CD. I'm not sure about "Take Them On, On Your Own", seeing as I dont own it, but the first CD is plenty good. And...yeah. that's it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2004 Wire's Pink Flag. Fuck the Sex Pistols, Wire made the best British punk album. London Calling, bitch. London Calling is a great rock record. Pink Flag is a great punk record. And though they certainly had punk spirit, outside of their first album, I really wouldn't call The Clash's music "punk." EDIT: Oh, shit. I hope this doesn't get me into an argument about "what is punk." The subject interests me very little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2004 Fair enough. That genre classification is touchy. Both are great albums, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2004 Fair enough. That genre classification is touchy. Both are great albums, though. And to apply such a narrow and limiting term as "punk" to London Calling is to do it a disservice. It encompasses so many genres and styles, that calling it a rock record is the only thing that will suffice. A great rock record, too, natch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zoidberg 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2004 Well, I got "Disintigration" AND "Heartbreaker" (some stupid bastard snaked my copy of Destroying America/The End...bastard) Both are quite damn good. Ryan Adams is a lot better than everyone says he is, so I might have to check out Whiskeytown, and maybe, Rock N Roll. and about Dredg: Those guys are actually from my town, and i've heard quite a bit of their stuff. Unfortunately, none of it has really peaked my interest. Thanks anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
