Post by: on February 11, 2004, 09:38:00 am
What albums make your personal list of masterpieces?  Bands at the top of their form.  Every song a winner.  I'll start:

 These are the albums I never skip a song -- well, just one on Exile (I hate "Soap Star Joe").
 
 A friend once told me that there is no album you don't skip at least one song on.  I thought he was out of his mind, but once I paid attention, he's 99% rigtht....

Caught the Hoodoo Gurus once back in '86 opening for The Bangles.  They were terrific.  I still don't understand why they weren't absolutely huge.  I never heard a HG album I didn't like, but Stoneage Romeos is a great f-cking pop record.

Is Pet Sounds really all that good, through and through? To me, it's sort of like this Broken Social Scene cd I'm listening to...a few good hits, and a lot of experimental artsy crap.
 
    I'll take my Beach Boys 20 Greatest Hits, or whatever it's called, over Pet Sounds anyday!

Yes, Let Go is a good album.  The reviews I read though were less than favorable.
Title: Re: Perfect albums
Post by: chaz on February 11, 2004, 04:10:00 pm
Well in my opinion......Yes.  That's why I listed it.  I'm not a huge fan of the early Beach Boys stuff, but I love the Brian Wilson-gone-totally-mad-era stuff.  Have you ever heard the song 'Til I Die?  Oh the tragedy....what a friggin song.
 
 Back to the origional point though...I love Pet Sounds through and through.

Fair enough. We can agree to disagree. While I wouldn't call that album perfect, I'll take it over many of the other albums listed here.

In my humble o, there are only four albums I'd call perfect:  
 Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
 Loveless by MBV
 Sgt. Peppers by the Beatles
 Forever Changes by Love
 
 That being said, I'd never skip a track on The Soft Bulletin, Entertainment! by Gang of Four, Crooked Rain Crooked Rain by Pavement, Doolittle, Plays Pretty For Baby by Nation of Ulysseys, Pink Flag by Wire or Meat Puppets II.

 As for Miles, I'll have to go with Kind of Blue.  Even though that's the obvious choice.

I'd almost venture to say that you could include just about any Bob Marley and the Wailers disc on here.  At least the Tuff Gong stuff.   I haven't heard a bad one yet.

I would concur.  All the original Tuff Gong and Island stuff was nigh perfect.  I chose Burnin' because I think it's the best reflection of the band (not just Bob himself) at their best and is the best flowing album and it follows a cohesive theme.

I'd venture that miles' ten year run from Kind of Blue > Bitches Brew (including Sorcerer, ESP, Miles Smiles, Nefertiti, In a Silent Way...I'm probably forgetting a couple) is the most amazing run of consecutively great records ever.  But I definitely feel that Brew is the pinnacle...the first time I heard the title cut I almost cried.

I dunno, I always thought Confrontation was just a poor man's Legend.  I think the original studio sutff holds up best...Burnin' and Natty Dread are probably my two favorite.

I'll add my admiration to Skywave. Great music! Was just listening to them yesterday and trying to find more of their releases to no avail.
 
 Sparx, thanks for the link!!! I'm listening to one of the archived shows now and am loving every second of it.    :D

I saw the crazy-ass Fridays episode when Andy Kaufman went all whack.  I know that I didn't get it...'course, I was just a young thing watching late night t.v. secretly.     ;)
 
 For some reason, I remember Richards and Melanie Chartoff from that show...can't picture any other cast members.

Kaufman's wonderful fistfight aside, Fridays had some kickass musical guests:  DEVO, Plasmatics, Jim Carroll.
 
 Does any one remember SCTV?  John candy had a bit called THE FISHIN' MUSICIAN wherein he played Gil Fisher who lived in a cabin on a lake.  Each week they would have musical guest fish on the lake and then perform.  Seeing the Plasmatics fish was grrrrrreat.  I think they caught a walleye pike!  He also had the Tubes, too.

SCTV was great.Lovitz,Candy,Levy et al,excellent,best canadian sketch comedy bar none,although some could say Kids in the Hall and wouldn't get much arguement from me.Was the Plasmatics episode on fridays the one where she demolished the car with a sledgehammer?Karen O of ther YYY's always reminded me of a cheap Wendy O ripoff,even using the O.Anybody interested in SCTV,check this link.http://sctv.org/intro.htm
