    Some Schwarzenegger-Sunday Spinning. The greatest soundtrack ever composed. Lots of pops and noise so would love to buy the 2xLP re-issue but ofc @silvascreenrecords didn’t even bother to use the correct title treatment on the reissue. So - damn them and them not caring enough.

    Some Monday-spinning. Is there a version on vinyl without the beeps over the swear words?

    Some Springsteen-Sunday spinning. Sounds like old Bruce stole his sound from The Gaslight Anthem. They should sue. And KISS should sue him for ripping their song Shandi.


    Some Shocking Pinks-Sunday Spinning. Not often one play this. In the end the story behind the album is greater than the album itself. But a fun listen.
    Wild and the innocent is top 3 Bruce for me.  Each song is a full,  cinematic movie.  Sandy,  you can practically smell the popcorn on the boardwalk.
    I really like Wrecking Ball. Because I am a casual.
    Interesting.  I think it's good,  but don't listen to it often.

    Underrated record.. it's the worst WS record,  but still pretty damn good.

    I like both that one and High Hopes. But to be honest, I mostly listen to the start of the albums.

    Had to listen to this again because I was going through the album with a couple of dorks. Amazingly well put together album. Sounds great. Great songs. Paul didn’t start to sound like a cat being strangled untill the next album. Albeit some signs of it on here.

    Had to listen to this because I was going through it with a couple of knuckleheads. Such an extreme step down from Creatures of the Night - but I guess that’s what happens when Paul wants to shriek through every song. Fits like a Glove is the best song on the album, so happy that Gene played it when I saw him.

    Had to listen to this because I was going through it with a couple of bozos. And I am happy I did. Without a doubt the strongest unmasked album. The last two songs are weak, but the rest hold up. Could ”Who Wants to be Lonely” be the greatest love song of the 80s after ”Total Eclipse of the Heart”... hmm

    I think "I hate myself for loving you" by Joan Jett holds that honor.

    Some ”Before-We-Finally-Find-Out-Who-Murdered-Prime-Minister-Olof-Palme” Spinning. I guess this is the closest to Olof Palme as I get in my record collection. With the movie having to be recut after it suggested Palme was buying prositutes and his family objected to it. No one captures Sweden in a filmic way as Mikael Marcimain but I think the movie somewhat fails with it being in a parallell universe with made up political parties and made up politicians etc. Should have gone all Zodiac - 1:1 to reality.

    Some Tori Amos-Thursday Spinning. The greatest album of the 90s. I like how the vinyl cover differs from the CD. A CD cover should never be an exact replica of the vinyl-art, only shrunk down. Pearl Jam taught us that in 1991.

    I've thought about this often and I always come back to Wildflowers by TP.

    Yeah. But fun to state.

    Some Last-Workday-Of-The-Week Spinning. Banged up copy. One of the inner sleeves is missing. But it plays. Maybe should get the repress. The fourth side should have contained more live songs instead of the studio cuts.

    Great album. My choice would be Jane’s Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual. I can still listen to that album straight through 30 years later and feel emotionally spent. Been Caught Stealing is my least favourite track - that’s how good it is.

    I agree Ritual is a great album.  I guess what WF does for me is that it runs the range of human emotions.  Every song feels so personal from Tom, as he was moving through his divorce.  JA is definitely a great record, but it doesn't touch me as much as WF.  

    FWIW, I always preferred Nothing's Shocking.  Other entries for me would be Vs, Superunknown, Crash, EC Unplugged and Achtung Baby.  I'm sure I'm missing a lot in there though.  Oh, and any Kiss album that was released, if any.
