Intersting side bar for the album owners back in the day: How many of these tracks we're actually consecutive before CD's?

King Crimson's "Red"
 Red
 Fallen Angel

 The first three songs on PJ Harvey's "Stories from the City..."

 on the beach
 motion pictures
 ambulance blues
 
 laid back epitomized
 
 that neutral milk album rox too

ryan adams - "heartbreaker", #s 2-5
 
 "to be young"
 "my winding wheel"
 "amy"
 "oh my sweet carolina"
 
 it would be better without "amy", but i could definitely listen to those on a loop for a long time

[HoyaSaxa03]

oh, and for REM, i'd take tracks 3-5 from "reckoning":
 
 "So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)"
 "Pretty Persuasion"
 "Time After Time (Annelise)"
 
 although that whole first side (1-5) is pretty much perfect (hard to leave "harborcoat" and "7 chinese brothers" out)

[SPARX]

Iggy Pop's Lust for Life...1)Lust for Life...2)Sixteen...3)Some Weird Sin

 2. Rattled by the Rush
 3. Black Out
 
 Why wasn't this album more popular?

i think that wowee zowee is just so disjointed, there's no sense that it's going anywhere.  that being said, father to a sister of thought is one of my favorite pavement songs.  
 
 however, when a song from wowee zowee comes up on my ipod, i don't skip it.  individually, i like the songs, as an album. . .ehhh.  sort of also how i feel about rem's "green."
