CONFESS!!! What albums do you listen to on an almost regular basis?
Even though I'm a diehard Zeppelin fan (in case you didn't know that about me), I would have to think the albums that I have found myself listening to sometimes even on a daily basis are:


  • Electric Light Orchestra's "Out of the Blue" (mainly side #3 'Concerto for a Rainy Day')
  • Radiohead "Ok Computer"
  • Green Day "Bullet in a Bible" (although I usually skip over 'King for a Day')
  • Foo Fighter "Skin and Bones" (Acoustic Greatest Hits has me mesmerized!)
  • Damien Rice "0"
  • Skeleton Key "Obtanium"


Probably listen to each of those albums at least 1-2 times a week.

What's on your constant replay list?

29. Well they only did about 6 songs from American Idiot on the live album
but the rest came from some of their best hits in their career. Pretty much the same concert I saw in DC back on the night that Katrina was destroying the gulf coast.

37. I saw them at the fourth Lollapalooza..
It was actually very childish. Somebody threw a wallet on the stage, Billy Joe stopped and pulled out the guys ID. Read his name and told him to come up and get it. The guy did. But Billy Joe dropped his pants and shoved the money in his ass crack. He made the guy pull out the money. Fucking prick if you ask me.

38. They were absolutely amazing! If Freddie Mercury and Charlie Chaplin had a love child
that would be Billie Joe Armstrong - he has the charisma to reach out to a crowd like Mercury and has the move like Chaplin from a Silent Film.

It was bizarre though because one minute Armstrong is getting raunchy with simulating masturbation and the next minute he's catering to the kids with having some kid come up on stage and play his guitar.

What was great about the concert I saw was the fact it was right outside of DC and Green Day is extremely liberal. He introduced the band and when he got to himself he said "And you know me, I'm George W. Bush" (big round of boos). It was also the night that Katrina was about to hit. I filled up my tank at $2/gal before we drove down to the Merriweather and by the time we got home the next day it was up to $3 at most stations. I luckily found one that hadn't raised their prices yet and filled up my tank, someone else pulled up with like 20 gascans in his trunk.

The nice thing about 'Bullet in a Bible' is you get both the live CD and the DVD of the concert. The concert also includes backstage footage and a visit Green Day did to a war museum in England

42. Thanks for that.
I need to get a new CD because the one I have is so worn from plaing it over and over. I actually use that CD when I'm working out. So, looks like I'll have to get Bullet.

I just started to learn abut Billie Joe. Saw a book about them and read a few chapters. Interesting background.

4. Hmmmm
Well I usually have iTunes playing on random but when I actually listen to a whole cd through (usually in the car) it is one of these:

Incubus - "Make Yourself"
The Shins - "Shutes To Narrow" or "Oh, Inteverted World"
Ok go - "Oh No" or the self titled one
The Fray - "How To Save A Life"
Jem - "Finally Woken"
BNL - "All Their Greatest Hits"

Really there are a bunch of them... My car only has a single CD player in it.
I'm too lazy to change it so it plays for awhile.

Now, I've got one of those fancy Satellite Radio DVR thingies... There's more variety.
But, I'm still up for a marathon now and again.

13. XTC
This week it's been Apple Venus. Last month I was mainlining The Big Express. And I think I feel an extended wallow in the early post-punk era coming on.

Zappa's a biggie too. I played 200 Motels four or five times through last month.

Richard Thompson is also in heavy rotation most of the time, but I haven't felt the need quite so much since November 7th :bounce:

I suppose I should mention King Crimson in this context as well.

There's also a few people you've probably never heard of: Peter Blegvad, Richard Sinclair, Univers Zero, the Art Bears...

Currently in heavy rotation

The Who's Quadrophenia, because it's great background music when I'm working out on my bike trainer

Songs For Sixty Five Roses, the compilation of covers of NC music, because I just can't get over how brilliant Eric Bachmann's version of Every Word Means No is. He's taken a shiny happy pop song and turned it into a poignant lament

Los Lobos Will the Wolf Survive, because I never get tired of hearing it

Randy Newman's Greatest Hits

67. Hey a Gillian Welch fan!
I saw her live at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Fest this past October, with David Rawlings of course. She was amazing. They played the Grateful Dead's "China Doll" (they said for the first time ever live), which just blew me away.

Here's a pic for you:




I also like Cat Power (just got The Greatest, which is), Johnny Cash, and Pearl Jam. Been meaning to check out Feist, because Conor Oberst covered one of their songs.

71. ooooooooooooooooo i am so jealous!
I've never seen her live; I didn't discover her music til I was already living outside the States and oH how I pine to see her live! Her voice gives me chills. I can only imagine how amazing it is. Thanks so much for posting a photo!

You will LOVE Feist -- she's impossible to resist. I really cannot recommend "Let It Die" enough. Run don't walk!!

And I agree that the Greatest is the Greatest, I just haven't popped it into my Itunes yet. The cd lives in the car and gets very regular play! I got into Cat Power via Pearl Jam, as Eddie Vedder sings a duet with her ("Good Woman") on You Are Free. Tis one of my favorites.

You have most delightful musical taste!

86. Hold on a sec...
I just realized that you are the very same person I replied to about Seattle! I just read both of your replies and realized they were both from you.

Okay, so if you move to Seattle, you may have a chance to see Gillian Welch, as well as a lot of other great music. As I said, Seattle has a lot of clubs and a lot of good acts stop there. My brother is always telling me about the shows he goes to.

I will get a Feist CD just based on your recommendation!

90. Great minds!
The live music in Seattle is probably what I'm MOST excited about (apart from the walking everywhere option). I get all giggly just thinking about the listings in the weekly paper, and knowing that I could almost certainly see my faves, like Gillian Welch and Feist and everybody else as they tour around. That's just too exciting. When I lived in Boston I would see live music every couple of weeks and THAT is a lifestyle I could get right into.

Thanks so much for your replies and tips on Seattle! If I get to Seattle I'll let you know!!

And DO get some Feist! I'm honored! Let It Die is the best one; I really hope you like it. Let me know!

Jean Louise

53. Girlyman.
Either album -- Remember Who I Am or Little Star. They're like crack. In a good way.

A close second is Teitur, either of his first albums, Poetry and Aeroplanes or Stay Under The Stars. Not like crack. More like heroin. In a good way.

95. My 6 year old was trying to sing "Seasons of Love" the other day in his room...
i walked by his open door, where he was playing, and heard him singing quietly "five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes... how do you measure a year?".

He's watched it with me a couple of times, along with watching "Chicago" and "The Phantom of the Opera"... he just loves musicals.

I wish i had the spare cash this week... the public theater troupe here is doing "The Sound of Music", and i would have loved to taken him.

68. In my car CD changer: Brand New, Steve Earle, Bonnie Prince Billy, Anti-Flag......
Edited on Fri Dec-15-06 02:59 AM by RevolutionStartsNow
and I think a couple of mixes my daughter made for the carpool.

I notice reading this list that very few people who answered share my musical tastes. I grew up on California rock (Jackson Browne, Eagles, Carly Simon, etc.), graduated into teenage stuff (Led Zep, the Doors), then matured a bit into more singer-songwriter stuff (Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell), and finally several years ago got tired of it all and sought out new music. I'm nearing 40 and most of the music I listen to now is being made now, which I think is really cool. I hear a lot of people my age say there is no new good music, but I have found so many gems:

Elliott Smith (gone now, but was new when I found him)
Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst
Wilco
Cowboy Junkies
Richard Buckner
Brand New
Bonnie Prince Billy/Will Oldham

I still also love the old faves who continue to make music, like Steve Earle, Pearl Jam, Dylan, and Neil, who all continue to contribute great music.

I am really enjoying some current political punk like Against Me! and Anti-Flag. My taste is all over the place, but I have found that music is like books, there's just too much good stuff and not enough time.

85. Maynard Ferguson -- M.F. Horn 4&5, Live at Jimmy's
This hasn't been reissued in 30 years, so I play a tape copied from the original LP. It's finally coming out on CD in Feb! Hope they leave well enough alone, and don't screw it up. They did squeeze a two-LP album onto one CD, so I worry.

I play this until my lips get sore, then put on something a little milder.

Edited on Mon Dec-18-06 09:26 PM by Gentle Giant
Their disc "Cowboy Poems Free" is based around the theme of economic hardship and prosperity.

Despite the title of the disc the band is NOT country. Rather, they are progressive rock in the vein of Peter Gabriel era Genesis or the band which I have chosen as my namesake here. Absolutely incredible music and I'm glad I found a reference to the band on Wikipedia.

Been playing a lot of Rush and Dream Theater too because I can burn calories air drumming and guitaring to it and have a blast. :)


On edit: And here I thought I was an odd ball out for enjoying bands like Duran Duran right along with classic rock, prog and metal. Some of your lists really put a smile on my face. Here's to eclecticism! :toast:

A Tribute to Segovia: Christopher Parkening (EMI) (another one that's good for the brain)

Dan Fogleberg's Greatest Hits (cassette I've almost worn out)




Those are the ones I've listened to the most lately.
