25 Albums That Should Not Have Been Recorded

[markie]

But at least be here now is better than  Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. It is one of the worst CDs I own. I really cannot get through it. Heathen Chemistry on the other hand has some great tunes, I think it is a pretty good album.

"25. Trans
 Neil Young (1982)"
 
 For this album and several others, Geffen sued Neil Young for not be Neil Young-y enough. That is the greatest honor ever extolled upon an artist.
 
 "20. Tin Machine
 Tin Machine (1989)"
 and
 "2. Metal Machine Music
 Lou Reed (1975)"
 
 I had TM and I don't miss it, although I think Bowie's entire intent of the album was far more ironic than McHone realizes (and why does it matter that the rhythm section was begot by Soupy Sales?) I have had  three different CDs of MMM (early 90s import with different cover, later import with original cover, Buddha 2000 reissue). I now only have the Buddha deluxe issue and love it. Of course I don't play it often but it has undeniable shock value and artistic significance that McHone is too "fucking stupid" to understand. Perhaps he should get his head out of his rockist ass and listen to some truly new music; pick up a copy of The Wire and don't be scared by the fact that you probably haven't heard of more than 10% (if even that many) of the artists mentioned and profiled.
 
 Maybe Bowie and Reed can combine the albums; what would they call it?   :roll:  
 
 "8. Having Fun On Stage
 Elvis Presely (1974)"
 
 I'll bet this is great for samples. Perhaps Prefab Sprout got one from this for the end of "Moondog".

This comment reminds me of another list:
 
 24 Ways Record Geeks are Different from Other People

[Bags]

That's very funny....I like this:
 
 Record Geeks:
 Know the Stooges as Iggy, Ron, Scott and Dave
 
 Other People:
 Know the Stooges as Moe, Larry and Curly

[markie]

I wonder if GGW has the list: "25 lists that should never have been made"?

That list is okay but much of it, like a broken slurpee machine, belongs on the Lame List.
 
 But I did meet David Thomas after a Pere Ubu gig years ago on F St and he wasn't scary at all, he's just the least pretentious weirdo I've ever met. But, then again, there was the relish tray backstage that had what seemed like 10 pounds of carrots. "No one leaves until all the carrots are finished", said David.

  Nothingman, Corduroy and Better Man are all excellent "Vitalogy" songs.  How is this album different from other Pearl Jam albums?  Maybe the ratio of good to not good is a little worse, but not much.

Better Man was a song from way back in the day of the solo Eddie Vedder days...long before they sent him the tape to try out as the singer for Pearl Jam    Sounded the same back then as it did when "Vitalogy" got released
 
 I'm surprised that Led Zeppelin's "Coda" wasn't listed on there. That album should have never been released.

So is Curly Joe

Sooo true...
 
 
 Dream about making love to the sounds of Spiritualized and Sigur Rós.....
 Have actually had sex
 
 Consider Rites of Spring's End on End to be the first worthwhile "emo" record.....
  Consider Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American to be the first worthwhile "emo" record

Though I've never been an ELP fan, I too thought that was an odd inclusion.
 
 What is it with record stores and Pearl Jam? There's always about 1 copy of anything else and 50,000 copies of Pearl Jam discs in the display racks. They are like Tribles. Have never been a Pearl Jam fan so I've never owned a thing by them and have no plans to.
 
 Bunnyman, I LOVE Ride's Carnival Of Light. Tarantula is the one that I'm not as fond of but still would never think of putting it on that list.
 
 Tin Machine is far from stellar for Bowie but not all that bad. Good enough to hear once in awhile if someone else puts it on but nothing to really bother with.
