lol i dont own a single one of them!! lol

how about Tenacious D? they are funny.

And definately entertaining as well...but should younger listologists be pointed towards an album that includes the song "f**k her gently"?

T'ho

:?)

lol..oh yeah sorry forgot about that song :) you are right. Sorry

Forget all the metal and rap, you wanna offend someone just bye that album. There's something for everyone.

My favorite part being Jack saying "All we want is so prescious little, all we're asking is for you to drop trow and squeeze out a Cleveland steamer...on our chests." and Kyle's response "Oh."

That's classic right there.

So what do your parental units say about THE D?

T'ho

:?)

Ha! They Think "The D" is really funny (though they havent heard the album!) they've only heard tribute and wonder boy. but they think The D are really funny.

have you seen the 30min segments they did on HBO? its on the D Dvd. they were great!

They have it at the local video store. It's called "The Complete Masterworks"...I'll take this as a recommendation and rent later this week. Only seen one actually.

T'ho

:?)

Some of the music videos on that video were so sexually perverse and disgusting I couldn't stand to watch it... and that's hardly my reaction to ANYTHING anymore. Blech. I do NOT wanna see Jack Black covered in his brothers' cum, thankyouverymuch.

I thought it was funny myself, I guess it's "different strokes for different folks". (snicker)

:?)

I'm just wondering what you mean by unusual, because while there are many great selections here, they don't seem that uncommon to me. Or did you mean "unusually entertaining"?

A good question. This title bugs me every time I go to my content. However, the title is supposed to represent an alternative list of 100 entertaining albums going on the assumption that everyone knows what the obvious 100 would be. If you get my drift. Any ideas on how to word that in 5 words?

T'ho

:?)
