50 Albums I Really Should Get Sometime
stooky07/14/2004

I don't think I should recommend anymore albums, this is a fine list. But I do have several comments for you:

Beck - Mellow Gold...

not as good as the hype would suggest, worth a listen but will become a dust gatherer.

David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World/ Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan & New Morning/ Neil Young - Comes A Time...

Good albums but not necessary for any collection unless you're going completist and after ten listens they'll take a back seat to each artists' many superior albums. Borrow don't buy.

That's about it

Tallyho

:?)

Thank you for the guidance. Now if I only knew someone around these parts from whom to borrow...

Rushmore07/14/2004

yer, the radiohead ones are great.

professor07/18/2004


Essential / Recommended (from your list): Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie

I agree with Stooky over The Man Who Sold The World

AAA08/21/2004

How do you enjoy The Shins?

openstacks08/21/2004

It's good. Real good. I don't think it's consistently great throughout, but the album has a lot of high points. A number of people have suggested Oh, Inverted World as the superior album, so I'll probably check it out eventually.
