Haha. I would have selected them already if they were. I have a few of theirs on vinyl but the first album is almost impossible to find.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

Vinyl Snobs would be a good name for a band."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."

Superfly was on my list. If Off the Wall and Songs in the Key of Life were slept on until the late 5th/early 6th, I was hoping that would be slept on even later. Unbelievably good stuff.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

Damn! John Barleycorn is awesome, and it was on my short list for next time around. Nice pick from Erik.
And yes, the R&B classics are dwindling, but it doesn't mean we're done in that realm by a longshot, not yet, anyway.
And you can all enjoy fighting over Steely Dan, for I'm with Seth Rogen on this one. "No offense, but Steely Dan gargles my balls."Comment

Possibly, but like I said I'm only drafting albums I actually own and love. I'm not going to reach for something just because I think I should. There's one or two "big" albums still sitting out there that I'm not taking just on name brand alone.Originally posted by DMT View PostComment

Actually I like to refer to it as seniority....Originally posted by Friarfan View PostThat's a new kind of snobbery, Shaun.
I have my turntable in my office at work, had it playing this morning---nothing eligible in this draft tho......"Frightened Rabbit--State Hospital"Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!Comment

Even I like that record and I'm no prog aficionado.Originally posted by TheGaffer View PostComment

Was hoping John Barleycorn would drop a bit more. Side one was so good, it took a while before I flipped the album over.Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!Comment

I did not anticipate "John Barleycorn" being picked this early. Great album! If you don't like "Glad", check your pulse..you may be dead."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

Is Traffic prog?
"Prog" is one of those shadowy words that I'm never really sure what it means. Like "post-punk."
I guess if an album has multiple songs exceeding 6 minutes in length, it's a prog album. Am I close?"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."

Don't blame me, I'm trying to draft all the punk/post-punk/new wave off your list, freeing you up for other stuff.Originally posted by Friarfan View PostConsidering 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
