Eh, I was thinking of calling it quits after "The Goat Song," but I guess I'll stick around 'til the end and see the final assessment.

Because that's totally why the US has no murders and has never gone to war with anybody.

It even explains "I'm Afraid of Americans" - dynamite connection there.
No, it wasn't our Vazza! Here's the relevant part of the masterlist:Varitek: 23%
RedRocksU2: 19%
mysterious_jen: 17%
hardyharhar: 14%
I'm definitely feeling more favourable this time around!
This Flaming Lips track isn't bad. Nice melody.

Good to know. You'll dig Surrealistic Pillow. Embryonic Journey is a classic instrumental.
The Love album proper ends at You Set The Scene, BTW. The rest are bonus tracks.

If you can survive "The Goat Song" and the the 1st LP, I think you're ready for anything.
Speaking of Brian Wilson comparisons, The Soft Bulletin is the best album the Beach Boys never made.

god i dont know if i want to get arrested !Jen, you may be interested in the 14% he hasn't done.
Here's the breakdown, most of it done decades ago
Things I haven't done: Committed bestiality, visited orgy parlour, fondled pre-pubescent, been masterbated by same sex partner, orally stimulated same sex partner, sadomasochism, incest, sex with unconscious person, transvestitism, experimented before puberty, accept homosexual proposition, accept prostitute proposition, arrested.
The rest of it isn't too bad, is it? I did live in a college dorm
I can't believe I sat through the whole Goat Song. That was hard on the ears. And I listen to fuckin' death metal! But I wanted to know how it ended ...

I wish there was a death metal section to that. It would've really fucked with your mind.

Man, I'm glad you're digging this. There are so many great chilled-out records in the 60's and 70's.
I haven't even mentioned Nick Drake yet. Oh my gourd.

"Beverly Penn" hits those Springsteen-esque heights I wish Arcade Fire could get to someday. The closest they've gotten to doing that is "Rebellion," which is pretty damn close.

I'll just let you know now, what I've heard of Nick Drake has NOT impressed me.

Oh man, he was gone way, way too soon. All three of his albums are classics.

Ah, but what have you heard? Pink Moon is waaaaaaaaaay too dark for most people.
Five Leaves Left on the other hand...gorgeous strings crossed with his strong songwriting. That's what I'll be sending you.
Huh, see, Antichrist Television Blues just came on and I think it feels very Springsteeny, moreso than Beverly Penn, but then I'm not the most knowledgeable person about Springsteen's music in the first place.

If you don't mind me butting in here, I could use Five Leaves Left ...
Ha, OK. I should have your email close by.

Oh, it most definitely feels like a Springsteen song. I wish I could hear him do a cover of it, that would pwn. It takes off for sure, but I think "Beverly Penn" gets to 11, you know? The sax/piano combination is what does it for me.
This stretch of songs you've just hit is the main reason why I'm most likely going to switch playlists.

This would require investigation
I've heard what's been on desert island tracks, mostly sticking out in my mind is "Free Ride"Antichrist Television Blues definitely has one hell of a Springsteen vibe, which makes me think a bit less of it just because I don't think it does enough to be an Arcade Fire song.
This song by The Jam isn't a bad one. I've heard of them plenty, but haven't actively listened to them despite Liam's encouragements that I should.

Yep, that's Pink Moon. I loooooooooooooooooooove that album and include it in my top 50 all-time, but it really isn't for everyone.
This would require investigation
As far as Pink Moon goes, I think Road is the place to be, and if I remember correctly, I wasted it on the first DI.
