Revo my man!!

Moving Pictures is flawless. Side 1 (yeah i'm sort of old) is one of the greatest sides of music in rock and roll.

I always liked Billy Squier. Made solid pop/rock.

[Fresno Bob]

Mith takes the Cult, Revo takes Rush, Anarchy I say!

REVO

I got to give you credit for picking what you like and telling those music snobs to ... off

5.01......"Don't Say No," Billy Squier

I've never heard any music critic give a bad review to Squier's early 80s albums. So what music snob here has an issue with Squier?

Now as far as Rush, well, that's kind of well documented here!

[mjl]

I've been wondering what mjl stands for... now I know the m stands for motherfu....

I realized just now I have no idea what tastes in music some of you have.

It's just initials. I am lame. Also I didn't realize I would be spending so much time here :P

I've picked Paul Simon, Public Enemy, Sublime, and They Might Be Giants. At some point maybe this will collapse into something that approximates a pattern but it may be a while.

OK - maybe just me

Revo old pal... you've forgotten the career-killing "Rock Me Tonight" video:



What the hell was he thinking?

Nebraska has introduced a new category of Diablo'ing ... "albums I should probably have picked, but didn't properly realize it until it's too late."

But could I have picked it before Loveless, In Utero or Siamese Dream? Didn't want to gamble on Loveless and In Utero and Siamese Dream were insane value.

This is tough.

Less of an issue, more of a lack of knowledge. The first couple of years of the 80s are lost to me.

Value? Wait... there is a scoring system?

Heyelander was here until it was his time to pick.

My guess is that he saw the Billy Squier pick, tore up his cheat sheet, and went for a long walk to calm down.

[heyelander]

you took too long to photoshop that... my pick was already up when you posted it.

Saw that ... I found a better pic and went back and changed it

Nice pick. Another record that suffers from the "Billy Corgan Effect" ... great record, but Courtney Love has become such a caricature,some people can't take it seriously.

Frank Blackesque howl

You haven't got a spreadsheet running?

Imagine getting into a domestic with Courtney Love circa 1994

Hide the skillet.

Somehow I can disassociate this album with all her other antics.
