I was actually beginning to wonder if London Calling was going to slide all the way down to me.

Much has been made of Floyd's dysfunction from the 1977 tour through the mid-80s schism and legal battles, but it really started with the sessions for Wish. They went into the studio and had nothing. Even went so far as to try to record an album using non-instruments (that lasted about a month before being abandoned). But they rallied and came up with their most emotionally resonant material -- two songs about their tragic founder and two about the record industry that they hated so much, and built upon the sonic innovations that they had achieved with Dark Side. Like Let It Be, it's really remarkable that something of that caliber was produced from such chaos.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

I thought 'Wish You Were Here' might fall to me, but no.
And that 8-bit Floyd is GREAT!One martini, two martini, three martini, floor.

London Calling is one of the absolute no-brainers of the first round. Very happy to have had it slip to me.I'm just here for the baseball.

Originally posted by overkill94 View PostGreat picks so far, all were on my radar. I especially like the Physical Graffiti tracks sheep chose to post videos of.
"Have a Cigar" is the highlight for me on Wish You Were Here.
"Brand New Cadillac" is my favorite from London Calling.
My favorite from Exile on Main Street is "Happy" But i like "Good Time Women" more than any of the songs that made the album proper."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."

I was hoping Physical would fall to me, but knowing how similar Sheep's tastes are to mine, I figured it probably wouldn't. It's 90 minutes of pure awesome.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

Rumours - Awesome pick and album. Was high on my list. Didn't think it would be top ten in this draft..what do i know?
"Second Hand News" and "Songbird" are my favorites."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."
