Nice one, I was going to try to grab it in Round 6 or 7. I kind of got the sense in the rock festival draft that Peter Gabriel is not a favorite amongst this group - lingering Sledgehammer hangover, maybe?Originally posted by swampdragon View Post
No need to slag Abacab, though...
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

Gah! Dammit... had that one all cued up. This record kicks the crap out of any Frank Black solo album.

Only two pick-able chick albums left. Maybe three."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

"Last Splash" - another album i have owned but never listened to that much. Although "Cannonball" is a great great tune!!"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

I love the Billy Squier pick, that album IS rock n roll.
And of course the Fugazi record is one of the best albums picked so far. It will disappoint Diablo that it's up there with the Neutral Milk Hotel album for me.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

yeah, I was considering taking a Peter Gabriel album sometime soon, but I'm not sure there's one that I actually want to listen to all the way through.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway.

If you want to see some other styles of music that They Might Be Giants do, here are a few samples from various albums:

Ditto on that. Love the Breeders pick.Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostOn your list..mine has a few more than thatConsidering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?Comment

Social Distortion - another band that i have liked everything i have heard from them, just never purchased any albums.
Really dig their version of "Ring of Fire"."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

Breeders would have been higher up my lists but for 2 things ... I already have a top-tier Pixies pick, and my favourite Breeders records (Title TK) isn't eligible. If you like your music low-fi and minimalist, with 100% double-Deal vocals, check out "Title TK". Kelley and Kim are awesome.
