    Die Ärzte - Von kurz nach früher bis jetze

    One of the German bands I listened to when I was younger, and I still can sing along to every fucking song. Silly, yet very much loved 80's German punk rock. I have to get this on vinyl.
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    The Presidents Of The United States Of America - Self Titled

    I sometimes forget just how great they were before they sort of petered out. I think they're still around, but they never matched the greatness (or success, as they pretty much disappeared from the mainstream) of that debut album. It was the album that introduced me to "Kick Out The Jams", although they reworked the lyrics quite a bit.

    Definitely a lost classic, which can't be said for alot of these, imo. So unique and a great time for music when something like this album could crack the mainstream. I think the 3 "hits" are my least favorite songs and their Kick Out the Jams may be my favorite. "Can't get your body out of my mind"


    I could never forget how great every Zeppelin album is, and Crikey, No Code? The Radiohead stuff? Appetite For Destruction?!??!!!! among others....Hell, I practically knew those were great albums before I ever heard them.

    Yeah, the three "hits" (actually, there were only two around here, Lump and Peaches, what other song got play there?), while good, have never been a highlight of the album for me. Maybe they just got played so much I lost interest in them, and they did get played a lot when the album came out. But for me it's always been all about Boll Weevil and We're Not Gonna Make It/Kick Out The Jams.

    Their version of Kick Out The Jams was always on at parties when I was in high school, so it brings back a lot of memories. In fact I'm pretty sure the first place I heard it, even though I had the album, was at a party. It was a great party song too, if that rockin' intro and "I've been elected to rock your asses 'till midnight" doesn't crank the party up to 11, your party has no pulse.

    Kitty was the other hit and IMO the only good song from them.

    As for most of the albums mentioned in the OP, I listen to those all the time and have never forgotten how good they were. I do like random mode a lot but still listen to full albums too. Having lots of vinyl that I actually play has made me still appreciate the album.

    Vinyl is definitely a big part of my appreciation for full albums, but even when I listen to my ipod I usually just shuffle by album.

    I miss the pre-digital days (ie. the 80s) where you had an album that everyone seemed to own. No matter where you went, you heard songs from them played everywhere. You will never see this happen again...

    Some examples:

    Appetite for Destruction - Guns n Roses
    Born in the USA - Springsteen
    Kick - INXS
    The Joshua Tree - U2
    Bad - Michael Jackson (didn't own it, heard it everywhere)
    Purple Rain - Prince

    Sure I'm missing a few.

    There are alot of albums listed here that I wouldn't say are 'forgotten' (Neil Young, GNR, Radiohead etc). Some that I'd forgotten and rediscovered recently are:

    Paw - Dragline
    The Four Horsemen - Nobody Said It Was Easy
    Clutch - Elephant Riders
    “Do not postpone happiness”
    (Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)

    “Put yer good money on the sunrise”
    (Tim Rogers)
