Originally posted by ManCalledFootWasn't it a fact that Kurt had more than a little to do with [Live Throught This]?

I think he may have been an influence because they were together at the time, but by the same token you could also say Love was an influence on In Utero. The same people wouldn't do that I'll bet"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."

Further kudos on the Social Distortion pick.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Disintegration -- "Lovesong" was the first case of me being able to cast aside my annoyance with Robert Smith and like one of his songs. I still think it's probably their best album.
Jagged Little Pill -- As a regular listener of "modern rock" radio in the mid '90s, I am still totally burned out on this record.
13 Songs -- I like what I've heard of Fugazi, but as with some other artists picked, I couldn't tell you which songs are on which album.
Melt -- Is that what PG fans call this? (The first three albums didn't have official titles.) Anyway, I think it's his best. I remember hearing "Games without Frontiers" for the first time on the car radio when I was 9 and trying my damndest to figure out what the hell he was singing in the beginning -- I had no idea it was French. "She Song Frawn Tee Yuh? What does that mean?"
Last Splash -- I own this, but I haven't listened to it in years and didn't put it on my list, figuring it would be long gone before I ever got to considering it. As with most people, I got it because of "Cannonball," but the rest is fun too.
Social D -- I know who they are and what they do but I've not heard much of their stuff. I know they opened for Neil Young and Crazy Horse on the Weld tour, but by the time I arrived they were done. (I did catch a dreadful Sonic Youth set, though.)Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

That's the only Peter Gabriel album I had on my list, a late-rounder at that, even though he's my old hero. I don't know... he just got a little more boring with each thing he did, and I didn't even buy his big smash hit one. There was a time around 1986 when I should have been proud that my old boys were kings of the world (Gabriel, Collins and Genesis themselves all hit #1 in the US), but I couldn't enjoy it because it was the worst shite they ever produced.One martini, two martini, three martini, floor.

Wow I'm really feeling the Social D love here. Though I love Cannonball, I didn't get the album until I heard Divine Hammer.Considering 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?

I never heard Bankstatement. Given the lust by record companies and radio stations in the '80s for projects by current and former members of Genesis, Bankstatement must've been REALLY bad in order to get no commercial traction at all.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

Almost 80 picks in before our 1st Police pick, shocked!If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
