Hissing and all that comes after YES!  Court and Spark and all that folk junk, boo!  Boring. Dull.  But stuff like Dog Eat Dog,  Wild Things Run Fast. Mingus,  Don Juan's Reckless Daughter and Hejira - sign me up!

So you're the one that owns the other copy of Dog Eat Dog!  Don't like folk, huh?  I guess I won't be seing you at Strictly, Mostly, Blugrass this weekend?

Its rumored that her mom has the legendary third copy of Dog Eat Dog.  LOL.

And I didn't say 'all folk' just her folk stuff I don't like, but no, I rarely, (once every two to three years) go to a show I'm not working.

I am a huge music fan have a lot of cd's mp3's

Nice to see Michael Hedges on the list, he was amazing. I also agree that 3 of a Perfect Pair was the best King Crimson album. Other great albums for me were various by Dylan, Beatles from Rubber Soul and Revolver on, Simon and Garfunkel, John Fahey's Blind Joe Death, anything by John Renbourn and also Pentangle, Leo Kottke's 6 & 12 String Guitar album w the armadillo on the cover, anything by Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith's Horses, Janis Joplin, Pierre Bensusan, Blind Willie Johnson, early Ry Cooder, Robert Johnson, Rev Gary Davis, Mississippi John Hurt, Mississippi Fred McDowell, early Bonnie Raitt, Miles Davis Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain, everything by Thelonius Monk.... I must stop, but I know as soon as I hit post, I'll think of 20 more must list albums  ;D

Great album, although you can clearly hear the strain in Jim Morrison's voice.

'Herb Albert & The Tijuana Brass' : "Whipped Cream" :P
I used to listen to this when I was a kid; it brings back fond memories of life before adolescence, when I really started to have a lot of emotional problems. I always found the cover photo intriguing, too.  ;D

I think I left out one of my fave Talking Heads albums a little while back--Fear of Music. "Memories" and "Heaven" are particular favorites, but "Animals" never fails to make me smile, and I listen to every song on the album, time and time again.

How about movie scores? I'm awfully fond of the music for Raiders of the Lost Ark, although (uncharacteristically) I wish I had the older, less complete album. In the original release, "Desert Chase" (my favorite segment) has been edited so that it maintains its power and force. In the rerelease, the piece loses its hard-driving momentum and gets bogged down in the middle.

Sometimes less really is more.

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Eagles - Hotel California
Who - Tommy
Moody Blues - Days of Future Past
Al Stewart - Year of the Cat (I wore out two of this one)

i know the Eagles get dogged alot nowadays, but Hotel California was a really fun tape to have in the car, with a girlfirend.  : )

i generally hate chick flicks and schmaltsy love songs. but i loved Tapestry, and played it to death.
