Went and saw Roger Waters' pros and cons of hitchiking-
I don't care about the album, the concert itself was
great! best bit: quiet set, set is of a tv in a darkened
living room with a window to the outside. noise begins,
steadily growing louder and louder. (the forum is in the
LAX approach path and large, heavy jets go right over it
all the time). anyway, just when we're wondering if a jet
is crashing into the place, a bright orange meteor streaks
down through the window and explodes. scared the piss
outa me, cause i seriously thought a plane was crashing
into the place...

What's the point of a "comment preview" option if it doesn't detect what URLs or images are going to be no-good?

Steve Martin's contribution was the only good thing in the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band Soundtrack. It was the only good thing in the movie.

Steve needs to play more bad guys...

I have a vote for the 1/2 worst ever:

Double Fantasy by John Lennon/Yoko Ono

I like most of the Lennon material, especially "Watching the Wheels." But the Yoko shriekery, although toned down from her earlier efforts, is just as unlistenable today as it was the day the record was released.

It appears that Vitology is getting lots of thumbs up (as it deserves). As for albums that shouldn't have been made, how about Tom Petty's last album? I'm a Petty fan and I was depressed to see him make such a weak album. Pure crap.

I thought Outside1 was a really really WEIRD album. NOT commercial. I guess my only biatch is that it's not very melodic. Some of the strangest Bowie vocals, that's for sure. I love the Eno production, too...:)

Let me guess... "Cult of Personality" sold you on the album, but NONE of the other songs were even remotely like that one... am I right?
Happened to me. Bastards.


It's not that the other songs weren't like CoP, its that the rest of the songs sucked.

Hey, Living Colour's Vivid is a great album. Cult of Personality, Glamour Boys, Open Letter (To A Landlord), Which Way To America....all great songs.

"Vitalogy is one of the better albums from the grunge era."

Groans at grunge era...just don't want to think about that period anymore. Mudhoney and early Screaming Trees had the fuzzy sound back then (Nirvana and Soundgarden did it well back too). The rest was poseurish. Ooh, Tad rocked too.

I LOOOVE MICHAEL BOLTON! HE IS A MUSIC DEITY!

Funny, I thought the 'grunge era' started with Neil Young and Crazy Horse. They had that fuzzy sound back then too.

I like Be Here Now by Oasis. Sure, they act like pricks, but the album is pretty good.

THe Eldar kicks ass. That is all.

A vote for me is a vote for the genius of Metal Machine Music on vinyl.

Radio KAOS is a good album. so |-P
TPACOH however, bites ass.

and welcome children to the part of our show where farkers try to sound like Rolling Stone music reviews...

hazaaa!

And has anyone mentioned "Right Said Fred" yet?

I'm to sexy for...

TRANS rules. This list is, therefore, crap.

DEPECHE MODE//ULTRA!

God, I loathed that album.

billeguerriero,

Then don't think about it. Easy.

The worst albums I ever owned was The Shocker (full of useless generic meta) soundtrack and Chunky A (Arsenio Hall's rap persona lol) and some useless CD from the Stone Roses.

I also own two Jerky Boys CDs. Unfarkingfunny.

Dibble

whidbey

Thom wrote Anyone Can Play Guitar after watching The Doors. It's a fun song. Just like The Bends the song was supposed to be a joke, but everyone took it too seriously. "Does Thom really wish it was the 60's?"

- Generacy

. . . were, not was. Damn preview option, how you mock me.

(what is up with this thing?! i keep saying ninteen ninty four and it keeps putting inubian.)

NIN, because of it's subject matter, falls prey to teenyboppers. but it is good music, which is why i thought it was good when i was young, and now that im getting older its still good, because it is real.
i hate teenyboppers. but i love nin, and hate being labled as one for it.
never saying trent invented angst. i know there was music before i was alive, not like some.
but its damn good.

Since I'm obviously not cool enough to sound off on the Pearl Jam/Metallica/Beck/Oasis/etc threads, I'll sound in on the Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines entry. He wasn't trying to change his style of music, it was supposed to be a lead in for a movie that never happened. Not that anyone cares....

//Country fan

Pearl Jam:"Stupid Mop"::The Beatles:"Revolution 9"

PurpleHaze

I got a funny vibe listening to Vivid (dumb joke), I was like 10 years old and I didn't get it. I'm no longer 10 and I still don't get it. Not trying to down play their talent, Will C and Vernon Reed did a lot of stuff before and after Living Colour and are respected artists no doubt.

There is no excuse for this album.

Brain Salad Surgery = horrible, too.

Walter Becker, 11 Tracks of Whack: OK, so it's not brilliant by any stretch of the imagination, but some tracks do work; Down in the Bottom, Surf, and/or Die and Hat too Flat all grew on me after awhile. Yes, it is good that us 'Danfans' can rejoice in Steely Dan's revival, but it is also true that Donald Fagen produced Walter's Album.

TR-I, No World Order: Exceptional stuff, that and The Individualist, the album that came after.

Genesis, Calling All Stations: Honest opinion... I only like the track "Small Talk" off of it.... The rest is real shiat. It would have been great having Kevin Gilbert take over on vocals for he would have added great range, and real solid musicianship to the lineup. Died before he could though....

Roger Waters: Anything by Roger is great. Got to love a cynic.

Personally I think that the Garth Brooks / Chris Gaines CD was great.

It was the assclowns that know nothing of music that panned it.

Country fans didn't like it because Garth wasn't doing country music.

Rock fans wouldn't give it a chance because it was Garth Brooks.

The media totally ignored the fact that this was supposed to be a soundtrack for a movie about Chris, thus the persona.

People are morons.

i'm sure you get this alot, but you don't know what the hell you're talking about...

Genesis used to be an amazing band before he screwed it up. He should have stayed a drummer.


Exactly! You see, kids, there once was this guy named Peter Gabriel...

Geez... no one's mentioned Nelson's "After the Rain" or anything from Alphaville. There was that Swedish techno-country fusion band, Rednex. No one's mentioned "Chinese Democracy" either.

Then we could get into some obscure 80's one-hit-wonder bands that I have full albums for, like Pseudo Echo, Toni Basil and Men Without Hats. Can you believe they put out four albums, and only one has The Safety Dance on it? And Stryper... I forgot all about Stryper...

Radio Chaos is a great Album. I went to the huge wall concert in Berlin back in '89 and he did "the tide is turning" with the Russian military choir. It was awesome...even awesomer because we were on Acid along with 300,000 other people (this was 13 yrs ago people).

I like all of Roger Waters stuff..even with a few crappy tunes now and then.

Santana can still kick pretty much anyone's ass on a guitar, so screw. I do think he went overboard with "guest stars" on Shaman, though.

I also give mention to Clay Aiken's album. Aside form the fact that he looks like a middle aged man who missed the boy band train by five years, his video is hilarious. Watch after the first "chorus" for the guy in the back rocking out on the turquiose guitar... when there's no music playing. His singing may be shiat, but that helped him grab the spot in my mind for #1 fake musician. He even passed up Avril Lavigne, an impressive feat considering her penchant for playing the guitar and yet not producing any sound.

they could have made this list shorter by saying "ALL CONCEPT ALBUMS"

were any good? "The Wall" is a classic, but I have failed to find any other good concept record.

no huey lewis?

Yeah I guess we are. Now that you explain it, I can see the genius in the whole production! What the fark was I thinking? This idea rocks my nuts off! fark work, I am leaving now to find this cd and/or cassette at my local Things Really Stupid People Buy store. See ya there!

I own several of those records.

We all know that Metallica (well, at least their last 3 albums) suck.

But why not mention the band that probably sucked the most ever?

Led Zeppelin.

Those guys were teh ass.

Meh. I thought 'Done with Mirrors' was much better than 'Permanent Vacation.' Of course, I am not much of a Aerosmith fan either way.

Also, Tin Machine was a pretty fun record "... Johnny can't f*cking read ...". Farking great stuff.

The worst record I ever bought was that Coverdale - Page piece of shiat that came out in the mid-90's, I think.
