I like 311 a lot. I know many think they're turrible. Not sure on album though. They can be pretty hit and miss imo.

The first four tracks on Music are in the running for best start to any album ever.

I think I'll pick...

Music.

My list thus far
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism
Blind Melon - Blind Melon
311 - Music
Bob Marley - Legend (Does this count?)
The Ultimate Rat Pack Collection - Live and Swingin' (Does this count?)
Title: Re: Your Top 5 Songs/Albums of All Time
Post by: star seed 7 on February 19, 2016, 03:54:30 PM
I agree, 311 has lots of 9's and 10's and then 20-30 percent are 1's and 2's with basically no in between

Another interesting aspect. I love rap. Prob listen to more rap than any other type of music. Yet none of my top five albums were rap.

When choosing I kind of went with.. "If I could only listen to five albums the rest of my life, what would they be?" 

Honestly, probably should have put something completely instrumental on there as well.

lyrics. The guy that started that band and wrote most of that album was an alcoholic that was kicked out of the band right before all the songs he wrote and band he started got big. Then he shot and killed himself when they made it. It's mostly about him knowingly drinking too much and stalking an ex girlfriend. Basically stuff that makes decent music. All the gin blossoms songs after he was removed were/are obviously dogshit but I'm guessing you already knew all of this.

That's really interesting. I didn't know much of any of that, actually. I always knew the gin blossoms' singles but they never really resonated a ton with me. Didn't hate 'em, didn't love 'em. But I always liked that the GBs were part of that Tempe, Ariz. scene and are always mentioned in the same breath as The Refreshments. So last night I kinda went down the rabbit hole with those groups and related acts. Let me just say that the gin blossoms may have more enough former members to fill in all the holes from oscar's upcoming mass player exodus. :eek:

I almost went to a gin blossoms concert in KC last summer (I think it was in leawood or something weird).  Would've been my third GB concert in three summers.

Oh well.  Maybe this summer!

Tell me more about Guster, Dlew. I don't think I've ever heard of them before. I youtube'd them just now and I liked what I heard.

ok, you know vampire weekend? now imagine they are 45 years old.
I can see some similarities.

favorite album is a tie between gnr appetite and ice cube amerikkkas most with gin blossoms new miserable being a not too distant second/third.

Gin Blossoms. Interesting. What should I really keep an ear out for when I listen to this album. Is this a lyrics thing? Sweet guitar solos? Overall vibe?

lyrics. The guy that started that band and wrote most of that album was an alcoholic that was kicked out of the band right before all the songs he wrote and band he started got big. Then he shot and killed himself when they made it. It's mostly about him knowingly drinking too much and stalking an ex girlfriend. Basically stuff that makes decent music. All the gin blossoms songs after he was removed were/are obviously dogshit but I'm guessing you already knew all of this.

So, in honor of it being leap day, Target had certain items at 29% off. Beats Solo 2 were among the items. The only color available was pink. I took this as a sign. Given the option I almost always choose pink colored items. I was just laying here, lights off, super hit burning, listening to Clair de Lune. Tears began streaming down my face. So beautiful. So disarming a song to be taken in so intimately. While this is not a new phenomena for me,  being moved to tears, it was still amazing. Music moves me and I love it so. I hope everyone has songs they love as much i. :cheers:

Speaking of g 'n f'n r, it occurred to me that I'd never listened to Chinese Democracy, so I did that this week.  Very much enjoyed "Catcher in the Rye."
