What should my next music purchases be?

[DaveC]

I am paid Friday. After my payment of gasoline and broccoli, I will be going on a music buying binge Saturday.

However I'm not too sure what I should buy. My last purchase was the Beastie Boys and I need something new now.

Vote above and the top 3 vote-getters win.

I also highly recommend the new BoDeans. That's what I'm listening to right this minute.

 

[DaveC]

I'll keep that in mind for the future but right now I'd prefer if people chose from the list above. Those are all CD's I really really need and I can't decide atm.

Being a Milwaukee gal, I am curious how you came to know and enjoy the BoDeans.

 

[Popmartijn]

And I can choose only 3?
Well, then my choices are:
U2 - October (buying a U2 album you don't have already is always fun and is compulsory )
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced? (Jimi rocks! And you can't deny the brilliance of The Wind Cries Mary, Foxy Lady, Purple Haze, Hey Joe and May This Be Love)
Pearl Jam - Ten (it's a cliche to say that this is their best, maybe most accessible is saying it better, but Alive alone is worth it)

Runners-up (good, but not the chosen ones):
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's (great Beatles album, but I still have to buy that one too)
Coldplay - Parachutes (very good debut, but another one that's still missing in my collection)
U2 - The Joshua Tree (you know how good it is, but apparently you already have a copy)

And think I can also recommend others, but most of them are also missing in my collection, so what's my opinion worth then?

C ya!

The Verve - Urban Hymns

 

[The Sage]

Definitely Urban Hymns. Second only to The Unforgettable Fire in pure refreshing greatness

From that list, i'd also recommend Parachutes by Coldplay and WTSMG by Oasis, though imo Oasis's Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants is better (another of my favourite albums), produced by none other than Mark 'Spike' Stent of POP fame.

 

[Laura M]

Definitely Urban Hymns. Second only to The Unforgettable Fire in pure refreshing greatness

From that list, i'd also recommend Parachutes by Coldplay and WTSMG by Oasis

That's exactly the same albums I voted for.

 

[The Sage]

You have very good taste, to be sure

 

[Laura M]

You too.
Great minds and that.

 

[ylimeU2]

Urban Hymns is my top pic or What's the Story Morning Glory.

Those two are pretty much my favorite non-U2 albums.

 

[Squishy Peanut]

You need to get Pearl Jam and The Doors!

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

Franz
Modest Mouse
WTSMG
Urban Hyms

Damn, that's 4.

 

[beli]

I think you need an album by The Clash

 

[jkayet]

oasis
the verve

and...

u2 october...or the beastie boys...or franz ferdinand...or ryan adams...

 

[Bonochick]

Ryan Adams

 

[Basstrap]

out of those, kida is most brilliant

either that one or Franz Ferdinand, if you're into something some accessible and grooving

 

[Jack In The Box]

all of them except John Mayer, please!

 

[Diemen]

I can't believe I'm the only one to vote for Led Zep IV.

What is wrong with you people?!?!?

Carry on.

Oh, if you don't have it already, I highly, highly, highly recommend that you get Wilco - A Ghost Is Born first, and then pick among these.

And if you get John Mayer you have to send the rest of the money to me, as you will have proven yourself unable to responsibly spend your money.

 

[Elvis Presley]

Brit Pop Brit Pop Brit Pop......


Kid A
Parachutes
Urban Hymns

 

[U2girl]

Joshua Tree, Ten and Morning glory are my picks.

(if you own the second Coldplay album and really like them, I say parachutes instead of Ten)

 

[Angela Harlem]

BoDeans

I voted for the beasties, the darkness and modest mouse though.

 

[Angela Harlem]

And thank god I'm not the only one who DESPISES John Bloody Mayer!
My God!!!!!

Next you'll tell me you like Pete Stinking Murray!!!!!!

 

[Bonochick]

Next you'll tell me you like Pete Stinking Murray!!!!!!

An Aussie friend of mine sent me a copy of Feeler, but I haven't listened to it yet. Is it that bad?

 

[IWasBored]

[Sweet Tart]

oasis
coldplay

[DaveC]

I never said I liked John Mayer....

 

[Bonochick]

I never said I liked John Mayer....

Then why would it be one of your options you're considering buying?

 

[Pinball Wizard]

vd ace,

An Oscar Mayer CD is not gonna win the heart of a lady.

But I do "salute" your cheesy efforts nonetheless...

It depends on your definition of bad. His music is so bland, it is almost frightening. He completely lacks redeeming qualities in every aspect of his music. The lyrics are mediocre, the music is just him strumming a guitar, his film clips are him wandering aimlessly and meanderingly around crooning, wearing ratty old clothes which fit perfectly with the sheer pointlessness of his style - if you can even call it a style. His record company need a good swift kick up the arse. He's about only good for anaesthetic BC. If you are happy when you start listening, you sure as shit wont be by the end of it. His utter crapulence will make you want to crawl out of your own skin in frustration.
