And he takes the lead! Even though Station to Station is probably my 4th favorite of his 70s albums, I listen to it regularly.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.

This is also what happens when there's been no pick for a while.

Love the Stranglers, I have a different LP on my list.
'The Yes Album' was one of 4 possibilities for them, I can't make up my mind which one I like best. Save the pick for last.
Is that 3 Skynyrds now? Interesting that no other southern rock has been taken (Creedence doesn't count).One martini, two martini, three martini, floor.

This one live album rule sucks, we're going to have to allow one more if we go 25.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.

Listened to the Wire tracks. Like most punk (or whatever genre they are grouped with) it's good, but i just don't agree that it is brilliant. Not taking a shot at it, as i think it is good stuff, but not anything special. Obviously brilliance is in the ear of the beholder.
Maybe there is so much crappy punk out there that this is indeed brilliant in the punk genre?"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."

Originally posted by senorsheep View PostI had never heard them until last year. They kept popping up on all kinds "Best Of" lists, so I gave Pink Flag a try, and boy, am I glad I did. It's amazing. They have two more eligible albums that are a bit synth-ier and new-wavey, but just as good, so it's not too late to get on the Wire train!If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it.
