Yeah, I'm going for The Who Sell Out next when I get a chance.

 

[Screwtape2]

I missed about half a thread, so maybe he did. Interesting choice. She doesn't post as much as she used to.

What makes it an interesting choice?

 

[Screwtape2]

Lots of albums for today:

Who's Next - The Who
Funeral - Arcade Fire
Neon Bible - Arcade Fire

Who's Next is great.

Good choices.

 

[phillyfan26]

Alright, running diary: The Who - Who's Next.

Baba O'Riley - Naturally, I've already heard this great track. Not in a while, though. Nice to hear again.

Because she isn't a regular like she once was.

I see.

That's their best studio album IMO, but deluxe Live At Leeds is a great value; it makes the studio versions obsolete, and you get a nearly complete version of Tommy that's about 200 times better than the original.

I think Quadrophenia is their best album but I agree with you about the rest.

Oh man oh man. Cubs win 7 in a row and have a perfect homestand

 

[phillyfan26]

I always hear Live at Leeds dubbed the best live album ever.

 

[phillyfan26]

I enjoy Bargain.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'd place it third because it's a little long and tends to reuse the same musical motifs over and over throughout, but the songs are all great. I don't get the complaints the band had about the mixing; I think it sounds great. That's arguably Entwistle's best record.

 

[LemonMelon]

I wouldn't disagree with that.

 

[bono_212]

I wish I know more Who music than I do. It's cause my dad hates them. Most of my old music comes from my dad. But I have Who's Next finally. Haven't listened to it in a while though

 

[phillyfan26]

Love Ain't For Keeping is a nice little tune: it's from someone's DI list, I think LMel's.

Glad you remembered.

 

[phillyfan26]

My Wife's another strong track. Is that Entwistle singing it?

Yes sir, thank you sir.

The Song Is Over is the closest you can get to a tearjerker without getting your eyes wet.

 

[phillyfan26]

Is Townshend playing piano on The Song Is Over? It's pretty damn good.

 

[LemonMelon]

No, it's Nicky Hopkins, a session man.

 

[phillyfan26]

Gotcha. Piano continues to be strong on Getting In Tune.

 

[LemonMelon]

This album is too short. If it weren't for Won't Get Fooled Again, it would be over in a blink of an eye.

Don't care much for Getting In Tune, rather throwaway to me.

 

[phanan]

There's nothing throwaway about Who's Next.

By far, my favorite Who album.

 

[phillyfan26]

Final report: Fucking fantastic album.

Gotta fill up the gas tank. Will be back with Arcade Fire after.

 

[Screwtape2]

Things continue to go well. I'm going to schedule a job interview tomorrow.

Glad to hear it. It is indeed fantastic in every way.


Funeral >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Neon Bible, though I like both.

Funeral >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Neon Bible, though I like both.

We agree again.

 

[phanan]

I know most people prefer Funeral, but for some reason, I tend to like Neon Bible better. Perhaps it's the Springsteen vibe I get in a few of the songs...

 

[LemonMelon]

Funeral just has this certain emotional edge to it that makes every lyric hit home, while Neon Bible just feels like them going through the motions to me. They're so talented that it's a good record anyway.

You are literally speaking through me right now.
