Humor Me

[blackwasp]

I know this has been done countless times in the past, but since there are many new faces around, it may be helpful to list our favorite bands and/or albums.

Here are mine (favorite album by the artist noted as well):

1. Modest Mouse (The Moon and Antarctica)
2. Joanna Newsom (The Milk Eyed Mender)
3. The Velvet Underground (The Velvet Underground and Nico)
4. The Beatles (The White Album)
5. Radiohead (The Bends)
6. Neutral Milk Hotel (In the Aeroplane Over the Sea)
7. The Smashing Pumpkins (Adore)
8. Chase Jedick (Break of Day Demos)
9. Wilco (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot)
10. Sufjan Stevens (Illinois)
11. Nas (Stillmatic)
12. The Decemberists (Castaways and Cutouts)
13. Bright Eyes (Lifted)

That is my dirty (baker's) dozen, but I'm sure I'm leaving some out.

Please share yours.

I feel as though you've done away with Bitter rather quickly. Especially since you're replacing it with such a non-existent album.

 

[cjedick]

in no particular order (except for the Beatles who belong right where they are)

1. The Beatles (White Album--I see someone's turned over to the dark side on this choice, cough, JACOB, cough)
2. Nirvana (In Utero)
3. Bob Dylan (Blood on the Tracks)
4. Paul Simon (Paul Simon)
5. The Beach Boys (Pet Sounds)
6. Billy Joel (Glass House)
7. The Rolling Stones (Sticky Fingers)
8. The Band (Music from Big Pink)
9. Weezer (Pinkerton)--though their new album isn't wowing me much
10. David Bowie (The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust)

6.) Guster - Lost & Gone Forever

I think I love you
We don't see too many Guster fans around this area, so its awesome that they made it onto your top list!! They are certainly on mine also

 

[TheDandyMan]

Oh man! I love Joy Electric...I feel bad though, because I haven't gotten his last three (including the upcoming one) yet

I especially want hello mannequin.

It's no longer upcoming. Actually, I'm listening to it right now.

Although the subject matter is rather depressing and it's very short, it's still great stuff.

 

[The Theory]

these threads are always so tough because i never feel like I can honestly answer them without going through my entire cd collection. and that'd take too long (at least with my room in it's current dishevled state)... so I'll do the next best thing and try and come up with them off the top of my head/use my CD wallet as a guide.

so without further ado...

Steve Reich- We Are (variations)
The Residents- Fingerprince
Sonic Youth- Murray Street (maybe? it's so hard to choose)
16 Horsepower- Secret South
Sufjan Stevens- Enjoy Your Rabbit
Sixpence None The Richer- self titled

mad sin - god save the sin
american culture experiments - self titeld
words the burn - bleeding xenophobia
headnoise - for now we know: in part 1
the briefs - sex objects
flux of pink indians - not so indian
crass - penis envy
X - the best: make the music go bang!
to name a few

Pharoahe Monch- Internal Affairs
Jedi Mind Tricks- Every album, The Psycho-Social... CD probably being the highlight.
