Ohh that's a shame, I laughed myself to tears to some of the dude's posts.

...and if you play the last 10 seconds of  Back Home backwards on the vinyl release you can clearly hear Denis whisper "I buried Saul"

If you play TM song backwards it actually sounds better.

What is the newest album you really loved?

The Clash - Sandinista! (1980)

This is an interesting choice. What do you like about this album? I tried listening to it once during my fixation with London Calling, but I just got lost in the sprawling indulgences throughout.

I think there's a lot to love about it, many of the band's greatest and most ambitious songs are there. It is overwhelming on the first few listens, but it'll pay off if you give it time. And self-indulgent too, but I personally am a fan of this "encyclopedic" approach to albums, I'd much rather see them try everything and fail here and there then come up with a more consistent, but ultimately safe and cautious album. The Clash had the talent and versatility it takes to approach the Herculian task of the triple album and I'm glad they did it. It's a bit crazy to realize that they recorded and released 55 songs in the course of one year.

Hell yeah! One of the all-timers for me.

AC/DC - Back in Black. One of the most perfect rock albums ever made.

I would say 3 of the songs are truly great, while the other 7 passable, but rather faceless. But hey, I realize I'm in minority here.

I love this thread.

Pixies - Come On Pilgrim (1987); Surfer Rosa (1988); Doolittle (1989)
Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction (1987); Lies (1988)
Michael Jackson - Thriller (1982); Bad (1987)
Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1988)
N.W.A - Straight Outta Compton (1988)
Run-D.M.C. - Raising Hell (1986)
Talking Heads - Remain in Light (1980)
The Clash - Sandinista! (1980)

It's funny how Friends has gathered so many dedicated followers by this point considering it was one of their biggest flops in terms of sales and it's definitely not the most exciting record by conventional rock standards (unlike Surf's Up, for example).

For me, it's almost like an Ambient record and I mean that in an entirely positive way (after all it's my own personal fave as well).

What wasn't cool and hip back then becomes so now, because we get tired of those bands and trends we're supposed to consider classic for their time. That's why nowadays 'Village Green Preservation Society' is more appreciated than the Grateful Dead, for example. 'Friends' seems so strange when placed in the 1968 context - a record so unassuming, so unpretentious, so modest in concept released in a year when there was so much going on - that it becomes brilliant and refreshing.

The one with Transcendental Meditation on it.

Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland. Surely this has to be Bruce's own Stairway to Heaven. At least in terms of ambition.

Some will--the guy has been hugely successful on both a critical and commercial level, after all--and some won't. The ones who remember him will loudly and self-righteously despair (to their elders who were "there at the time") at the abhorrent state of the world that some of their peers don't. The world will be going to hell! Oh, the horror. "Kids today," they'll say...

Wonderful.

I think they're just trying to act smartass or trolling. I really can't believe they haven't heard of McCa or at least tried to google him before tweeting.

A lot of double albums have the problem of starting strong and losing momentum towards the end, but side 2 starts almost immediately with "5:15" and that ridiculously good horn part, which pops up again later.

Totally, and what a monster of an ending. Love Reign O'er me has got to be their A Day in the Life, their You Set the Scene. Only less pretentious and more humble.

I'm also looking at all these incredible songs and ideas that Pete Townshend put together, completely on his own. Tommy had two songs written by Entwistle, Who's Next had one, and Quadrophenia has none. I have so much respect for him being able to disappear into his room with a tape recorder and write everything without any help - lyrics, melody, arrangements and all. I believe Brian Wilson to be the most creative musical mind in pop music, but he had collaborators on many of his greatest and most accessible songs. It's interesting to me how different artists capable of creating incredible things work differently, and how they differ as a result of their methods.

Well put. It's no wonder that Quad is the album Pete is most proud of, given the work he put into it. It definitely is the band's most complete rock opera - on Tommy they were supposed to add strings and the album works 10 times better when performed live anyway, while Who's Next lost so many great songs when it was reduced to a single album. But there is not a single thing I would add or modify on Quadrophenia.

...has been my all-time favourite album for quite some time now.

Very good album.

Because in the album's best songs (Devoted to You, There's No Other, Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow) you can not only hear the influence those originals had on the Beach Boys' music, but also the emotion they put into covering them. You can tell they really love those tunes.

Cool photos.

I skip a few songs on Summer in Paradise here and there...usually Hot Fun in the Summertime, Surfin', Summer of Love, Island Fever, Still Surfin', Slow Summer Dancing, Strange Things Happen, Remember (Walkin' in the Sand), Lahaina Aloha, Under the Broadwalk, Summer In Paradise and Forever.

Amazing tune.

I've only seen the first movie. How does the show compare to it?
