    The new Bjork cd....talking about several annoying electro-clash wannabe tracks surrounded by boring soundscores. She does have a nice and unik voice though, but where are the decent melodies to make this cd anything speciel. Somehow its gettin pretty good reviews....leaves me clueless. Well, I´ll just put on a Tad cd and care less.

    I agree about Quadrophenia...it's okay..but i can't listen to the whole thing...hopefully slip kid won't see this post..:p

    as for london calling and bssm those are classic albums in my opinion. I never get sick of them.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I agree about The Wall, too much filler for a double album.
    You guys cannot be serious....tell me you´re joking? Do you also think the cd should be remixed in an up-tempo 2007ish style? Maybe Timberland should change "mother" into the first party single from the cd to hit the airs. Come on!!

    you've got to be kidding me with OK Computer.

    and you people saying The Wall are also nuts. there is no filler on there, every track is a piece of the story.

    Need to chime in that The Wall is fanfuckingtastic...like the previous poster said it all fits a story...when i first gave it a listen I was blown away....great album IMHO....

    Based on what I know about your taste in music Bjork's not your cup of tea anyway. Do you like her other stuff already or is the new one pretty much your introduction?

    Anything Oasis, anything U2 after Rattle And Hum, The Beatles, The Stones, Pink Floyd, The Smiths, ACDC.
    These bands have just never struck me other than U2 where I basically loved them as a kid growing up, but as I grew so did Bono's head and it got ugly.
    There music just isnt my bag I guess.

    Neon Bible, just don't like it in any way. Also I'll go with Frances the Mute and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

    Thought of another one: What's Going On by Marvin Gaye.

    I dunno, I think it's a hit and miss album, for me it hit, but I can see why with a lot it misses.
    I just love some of the songs the title track Mercy Mercy Me, Ecology, Whats Happening, I dont know kind of like a document prophocising and preceeding where the world went and what it become. Excuse me, I am pissed.:)

    Ok. First off as to all of the OK Computer responses. I hate you all. I'd argue it is better than any pearl jam album on the whole...except maybe no code. And I freaking love Pearl Jam.

    Next up: neon bible may be no funeral..but definitely not something to be overlooked. Maybe give it another try. Maybe it takes seeing them live to solidify it.

    And YHF? Pretty great as well but another one that took me awhile to love. I had it sitting on my ipod for probably 6 months where i'd start it up every once & awhile and move on. Then one day it just clicked. I put it on while watching a sunset at the beach & love it now.

    Guess sometimes music just takes a certain experience to be able to be fully enjoyed. Have to keep trying sometimes.

    The sentiments are all good, I agree. I just don't think it's a Top 10 albums of all time candidate, as it often tends to be.

    Pink Floyd - The Wall (this could easily be a one disc album)
    Led Zeppelin - zoso (its good, but its rather boring after a few listens)
    NIN - Year Zero (its still new but i think this is an awful album by trent)
    Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks (sex pistols are to punk what creed is to grunge)

    thats all i can think of right now.

    i must say i strongly disagree with doolittle though. i think surfer rosa is better but i think almost anyone that likes alternative music should see why doolittle is a classic.

    Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks (sex pistols are to punk what creed is to grunge)

    Say what!?!

    I know, that seems ridiculous. Never Mind The Bollocks is probably the only punk album worth having.

    Nirvana- Nevermind (Half Killer and Half Filler)

    I was wondering if you could enlighten me on which half of those songs are filler. I think every one of them is great and necessary to the overall dynamic of the album.

    Filler

    Breed
    Territorial Pissings
    Lounge Act
    Stay Away
    Something in The Way

    Nirvana is the most overated band of the 90's, this album is the most overated album of the 90's, and Smells Like Teen Spirit is the most overated song of the 90's.

    Anyone who doesn't like Lounge Act should be shot, and as far as the rest of your thoughts, I respectfully disagree.
