Making sandwiches when you're hungry suuuuuuucks

And problem solved. Sandwiches are so much better when they're free

lmao, this guy's last name is beveridge, which is pronounced like beverage

Zoots: I'm going to guess five of the nine albums in your avatar.

Achtung Baby, The Divison Bell, Led Zeppelin IV, OK Computer, Revolver.

I can't tell the other four.

 

[phanan]

The others are Use Your Illusion I, Mellon Collie, Scarlet's Walk (I think - not a huge Tori Amos fan), and The Best Of Blur.

 

[phillyfan26]

The Division Bell seems a rather odd choice from Pink Floyd's catalogue.

 

[phillyfan26]

I love Ten Years Gone, by the way. Just listened to that again. I should get started on the LZ albums today.

 

[phanan]

The Division Bell seems a rather odd choice from Pink Floyd's catalogue.

Not one of the big classics, and people who prefer Roger Waters slog it off, but I personally love the album.

 

[phanan]

And this new Sigur Rós album is outstanding. I was worried because I didn't like the first track that much, but man, the rest is gorgeous.

 

[Zoots]

The Division Bell seems a rather odd choice from Pink Floyd's catalogue.

Oh man, I love that album! Besides, I put as much emphasis on how much I liked the cover along with the album itself.

Phanan, you sure do know your music!

 

[phanan]

Yes, you should.

 

[phillyfan26]

I'd say Phanan is arguably the board's most knowledged music fan.

 

[phillyfan26]

The Who and Led Zeppelin are two bands that don't make sense for me. They don't make sense because I like every song I've heard by them, but for some reason I'm never curious enough to dig deeper into their respective back catalogues.

But I loved Who's Next, and I'll bet I love some more of their albums.

 

[phanan]

I wouldn't go that far. While I'm well versed in many of the major artists, there's quite a bit of smaller bands that I'm still getting into.

Over in B&C, I learn a lot of new music from the likes of u2popmofo, Jack In The Box, and others...

 

[Zoots]

Led Zeppelin had so many excellent albums and yet classic rock radio overplays the same 5 to 10 songs! And hence I tire of Zeppelin sometimes.

 

[Zoots]

I'd say Phanan is arguably the board's most knowledged music fan.

I agree. Well, he did run a music store! Right?

I'd say you're the most consistent, and you're very open and willing to try new bands.

I'm getting there, anyway. If I come close to matching the prowess of my fellow musketeers, I'll be pleased.

I blame bad parenting musically.

Every now and then, a debate will come up between who is better. And while my overall preference is Zeppelin, you can't go wrong with either.

I think Zeppelin's catalog overall is stronger, but The Who have several killer albums that are a must to own.

 

[phanan]

Yep. 1993-1996. Some great music back then, too.

 

[phillyfan26]

Both bands are similar in many ways: great guitarist, consistent, good chemistry, stayed together till the death of a band member and didn't break up. And they both have churned out some classic albums.

 

[Zoots]

I'm quite under-educated on the Who... except for a Very best Of CD and Quadrophenia. There's just too many other albums on my wishlist dammit!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i agree.

 

[phanan]

I blame bad parenting musically.

I know what that's like. I grew up with no albums, only 45s, and they were the likes of The Bee Gees and Barry Manilow.

I think my mother even had Afternoon Delight. I could make a Corny 70's playlist out of her material.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

my parents have awesome musical tastes

well, sometimes. then my dad will play his easy listening or doo wop bullshit and my mom plays stupid crap like chicago.

 

[phillyfan26]

My dad's best friend is a big rock fan, too. His three favorites (in order) are The Who, The Police, and U2. I'm more knowledged on U2 than he is, but he's much better with the first two.

 

[phillyfan26]

My Mom's favorite genre of music is ... Christmas.

My Dad's favorite genre of music is ... well, none.

That tells the story right there.

that's awesome

my dad's favourite bands are probably the cars, elo, beach boys, and moody blues. and i think i've heard about every song any of these bands have released although they're not bad. i saw the moody blues with my parents last month.

i almost saw popmart with my dad (it was going to be my present to him for his birthday) but he'd just come back from a business trip in canada and was advised by his doctor to avoid concerts. his ears were all stopped up. yes that's right, he's allergic to canada so i took my mom instead. here's dating things for you: before the concert they were handing out cans of surge. SURGE!

ELO for the win. I love that band.

 

[No spoken words]

P-Fan, this is what I'm talking about when I say "enough is enough". Who's going to step up and put a stop to this bullshit???

I am.

We invade Canada before the year is over.

Just watch for DaveC and his group of freedom fighters.
