Fuuuuuuck, I missed Pfan and Axver by a few minutes

 

[LemonMelon]

Popping in for a sec, it's cool that 'Ver listened to Abbey Road, but I think he's completely wrong, aside from "Here Comes the Sun."

I'm shocked he made it through Something without having a nervous breakdown.

 

[LemonMelon]

That was over the top, but there was a reason for that. I think Abbey Road's by far better than Sgt. Pepper. I think it's definitely a classic. It's probably not in my top ten, but not too far out. It's close.

It's their best produced and most sharply performed album, so I'm not sure if it'll all be downhill for you from here. I suggest you give Sgt. Pepper another spin now that you know there's something by The Beatles that you can really get into. I didn't like Pepper at first either, believe it or not. Now it's about a 9/10 in my book. Some of the strange melodies and production quirks make it a bit alienating the first few times; it certainly isn't as immediately accessible as Rubber Soul or Revolver.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

so Mel... listened to the rest of Air yet?

 

[LemonMelon]

I'll Air.............your face

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'll take that as a no

 

[phanan]

I gotta eat. Skipping lunch yesterday was not a good idea.

Now I know why you weigh so little.

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm back.

 

[phillyfan26]

Any recommendations for tonight's music?

 

[phanan]

That depends if you want to stay with Radiohead and The Beatles or go in another direction.

If you stay with them,

Radiohead - In Rainbows
The Beatles - Revolver or Rubber Soul.

 

[phillyfan26]

I don't mind doing either. If anyone has any real strong opinions, I'll take them into consideration.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Doves - any album

 

[LemonMelon]

Records I'm about to download:

Suede - Dog Man Star
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Ramones - Ramones

Who knows, I could do some running diaries of my own.

 

[Its Britastic!]

Oh wow this thread went by pretty fast.

Have you gone through any Stones material yet?

Have you gone through any Stones material yet?

Nope. I've got about four albums on my "Must Listen" list.

Listen to Let It Bleed/Sticky Fingers, ASAP.

 

[phillyfan26]

First download:

Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

It's a shame that everything's on Rapid Share and you have to wait a couple hours to download anything else.

 

[phillyfan26]

Actually, nevermind, it's Let It Bleed.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm downloading Ramones Mania instead of the debut. It's a shallow way of looking at their music, but it's got I Wanna Be Sedated on it, which is for the ultimate win.

 

[phanan]

Listen to Let It Bleed/Sticky Fingers, ASAP.

Agreed. I'd probably go with Sticky Fingers first if I was new to them, but either way is fine.

Then you should just download my Retro list.

 

[phillyfan26]

Let It Bleed and Revolver.

I have a sentimental attachment to Sticky Fingers since it was the first Stones record I ever really got into (plus Dead Flowers ) but both are classics, without question.

I've been to Bird-in-Hand, PA. It's not far from Intercourse and Blue Ball, if I remember correctly

Best time to download is early in the morning. When I get up to go to work, if there is something I want to download, I do it then and it usually takes just a few minutes.

Dead Flowers and Moonlight Mile at the end for the win.

Your list looks cracking. See No Evil, Train In Vain, I Wanna Be Sedated, Disorder...

You get around, it seems.
