What album really blew your mind and still stands out....

I was rumaging through my cd's today and playing a bit of this and a bit of that. I picked up Pink Floyd/The Final Cut. I remember listening to this on cassette on a walkman in the tenth grade. The lights were off in the room and I closed my eyes. I just couldn't believe what I heard. Sounds and voices from all directions, the music seemed so alive. It still is my favorite musical memory, I haven't thought of music the same since.
I do have a great memory of The Cure's Why Can't I Be You and a cute little German gal, but for different reasons

My best music listening experiences are:

The first time I heard Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon on CD. I was in 10'th grade and it absolutely blew my mind.... also it was one of the first times I smoked weed.

The first time I heard a Brazilian recording: Gilberto Gil & Jorge Ben "Gil & Jorge". This is a jam session where these two guys recorded what came out in that moment - it's probably one of the loosest, most spontaneous records around. It doesn't sound perfect, but that is EXACTLY the great thing about it, you can FEEL how spontaneous it is.

Other moents:
Portishead "Dummy"... also under the "effects" in a dark room...sounds coming from everywhere, the spooky melancholic atmoshpere it creates....

Probably Nirvana Smells like teen spirit, because when it came out it was so different from all the music we listened to thru the 80's.

I really enjoyed Moving Pictures from Rush and Never Surrender from Triumph. I like Tracy Chapmans self titled debut album and Gordon from the BareNaked Ladies.

Pick a catagory;

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon and Steve Miller - Fly Like an Eagle

Pat Metheny - Offramp and Larry Carlton - Last Night

Andrea Bocelli, Diana Krall, Frank Sinatra
to many to many to many I can't pick just one.

But if there was only one album I would be under house arrest with - Don't Laugh - Tears for Fears - Tears Roll Down (greatest hits 82-92) not just one or two great songs, I can listen to the whole thing over and over. OK, I have many different levels, some rock, some don't, some good and some bad.

I'm with ya Ward I like Tears for Fears, and Flock of Seagulls, Petshop boys, Frankie goes to hollywood, I love all that 80's stuff!

Sing with me!

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are things I can do without
Come On
I'm talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
Shout
They gave you life
And in return you gave them them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
Shout

You want lyrics. Try this 80 one on for size



Add It Up

Day after day
I will walk and I will play
but the day after today
I will stop
and I will start my way
why can't I get just one kiss
why can't I get just one kiss
believe me there'd be somethings that I wouldn't miss
but I look at your pants and I need I need a kiss
why can't I get just one screw
why can't I get just one screw
believe me I know what to do
but something won't let me make love to you
why can't I get just one fuck
why can't I get just one fuck
I guess it's something to do with luck
but I waited my whole life for just one
day afterday
I get angry
and I will say
that the day
is in my sight
when i'll take a bow
and say goodnight

Oh yeah Don, love that album. Still have the original LP I bought way back when.

Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs. When I first heard this in it's entirety I was completely awstruck. Damn this rocked. What an amazing album I thought. Still amazing to me.

And Grumpy, Victums of the Fury is killer also. I have the LP. You like In City Dreams? I got that LP also. Not bad but not great.
