When this series started i totally geeked out over it, but i can honestly say everyone of these books, that I've read anyhow, have been a mild disappointment. Maybe that's just me, but the consensus i get from a lot of music geeks is the concept is fantastic, but the execution leaves little to be desired. I hope the quality only continues to go up. my 2 cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-69748994407848404772007-03-05T10:56:00.000-05:002007-03-05T10:56:00.000-05:00Artie, I guess they're not there cos you didn't pr...Artie, I guess they're not there cos you didn't propose any of them....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-61404612145576192202007-03-04T15:46:00.000-05:002007-03-04T15:46:00.000-05:00I'd LOVE to readX-Los AngelesHusker Du - Zen Arcad...I'd LOVE to read<BR/><BR/>X-Los Angeles<BR/>Husker Du - Zen Arcade<BR/>Black Flag-My War<BR/><BR/>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-45925505468472717962007-03-03T13:21:00.000-05:002007-03-03T13:21:00.000-05:00captain beefheart - troutmask replicacaptain beefheart - troutmask replicaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-26658111530660762912007-03-03T10:20:00.001-05:002007-03-03T10:20:00.001-05:00I was going to pitch the Fall, but what the heck c...I was going to pitch the Fall, but what the heck can you say about them that would make any sense ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-39684210565561998772007-03-03T10:20:00.000-05:002007-03-03T10:20:00.000-05:00Afghan Whigs.

For me, they're destined forever to remain one of those bands that I "don't get," along with, say, the MC5 (sorry, but they've never done ANYTHING for me and I LOVE the Stooges), or maybe The New York Dolls. All reputation/hype and nothing to latch onto. You're SUPPOSED to like them, but who gives a rodent's bum whether you're SUPPOSED to like anything? Of course, all music fandom must remain gleefully in the world of the subjective, although I must agree with Sid Griffin's liner notes for the reissue of Gene Clark's first solo LP, when he wrote something along the lines of "...one must be deaf or evil to disagree" that Gene was the heart and soul and the BEST thing about the first two Byrds LPs. <BR/>Sheesh!

It's better written and more emotionally involved than Gentlemen, which is great but has a few too many similar songs. After that, their albums stray into fairly boring mainstream territory. As much as I like some of these later records, they're not terribly unique. I really don't understand the commotion here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-56217666710340667112007-02-28T21:40:00.000-05:002007-02-28T21:40:00.000-05:00I'd for sure rush out and purchase:1.

T.Rex - "Electric Warrior"<BR/>No one has bettered it since, and Bolan is one of the most enigmatic figures in 70s rock in the sense that he put so little of himself into his music. It's so impersonal and yet triumphant - it begs to be explored!<BR/>3. Simon and Garfunkel - "Bookends" <BR/>If you have to ask why you haven't listened to it.<BR/>4. Pavement - "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain"<BR/>Again, if you can listen to this and remain unmoved, you are a sad and sorry soul indeed. Few things are as energizing as "Unfair."<BR/>5. George Harrison - "All Things Must Pass"<BR/>Without question, alongside McCartney's RAM, the BEST post-Beatle output! <BR/><BR/>So there!<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure that ANYONE needs a 33 & 1/3 on ANY Grateful Dead LPs, but that's just me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-1973640919901178782007-02-25T01:47:00.000-05:002007-02-25T01:47:00.000-05:00I almost submitted a proposal for the Afghan Whigs...I almost submitted a proposal for the Afghan Whigs' Black Love myself.

I mean, who's to say he's one of the submissions, but that would be so great. I saw D'Angelo during that tour and he ran into the crowd with a wifebeater on and ran back onstage with a string tied around his neck. People were crazy.<BR/><BR/>Also: do write about more females, but I think a sleater kinney book would be a little boring, potentially.
