And I'll add the Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldier.

So we do have some commonalities afterall...

you mentioned this album a while back in the "what are you listening to" thread, so i picked it up and i really dig it! thanks for recommending it.

my list (well, the ones i can think of now):

barbra streisand - the broadway album
emmylou harris - red dirt girl
lucinda williams - car wheels on a gravel road
stevie nicks - bella donna
dixie chicks - taking the long way

ok, i'll have to look through my collection later ... i can't think at the moment.

Didn't I recommend it to you? Or did I recommend it to everyone else but you :laugh:

I didn't see Court & Spark on your list. :shrug: :lol:

lol ... it must've been everyone but me, because i'd read many reviews of it, but the first "fan" recommendation i read was from chili. :nod:

I jsut added it - I forgot about that one :shocked: "Hissing of The Summer Lawns" should probably be on there as well...

Im sure I mentioned it in the thread where Lindsey was in the top 50 albums of the year :shrug:

Oh well, you obviously don't read my posts :laugh:

You're welcome...glad you enjoy it! :wavey:

i have you on ignore. :sorry:














:laugh: :xoxo:

"Heads In Georgia" is such a brilliant track. I would have put that album on my list if it wasn't for "Three Little Girls" - that song makes me feel ill :sorry:

Soul-less bastard!

:laugh:

I agree with those...and here are a few of the ones I consider to be without a bad track:

Paul McCartney - Flaming Pie
Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose
Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing
The Beatles - Abbey Road
The Beatles - SGT. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Beatles - Revolver
The Beatles - Rubber Soul
George Harrison - Cloud 9
Georgo Harrison - Brainwashed

Johnny Cash - American V
Meredith Brooks - Blurring the Edges (shut up, I love it)
Josh Joplin Group - Useful Music
Josh Joplin Group - Future That Was


I'm sure there are more...but that'll do for now :D

Why? Because I hate songs about children? :laugh:

^^^Now THAT's what I call a true fan!


C'mon.....Silver Girl?:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

C'mon - "Blow by Blow"????




:wavey:

Since when are we discussing Time?

And for the record, Dave Mason is the ONE thing that I don't like about the Time band.

Since you decided to take a swipe at SYW - and anyway, it was a joke :p

Buckingham Nicks ~ Buckingham Nicks
Fleetwood Mac ~ Tusk
Stevie Nicks ~ Bella Donna
Lindsey Buckingham ~ Out Of The Cradle
Joni Mitchell ~ Court & Spark
Heart ~ Dog & Butterfly
Blondie ~ Parrallel Lines
Pretenders ~ Pretenders

Jason Collett ~ Idols In Exhile
The Raconteurs ~ Broken Boy Soldier
Ramones ~ Road To Ruin
M. Ward ~ Post War
Rollings Stones ~ Some Girls
Roxy Music ~ Avalon
Concrete Blonde ~ Mexican Moon


And these are just off the top of my head...

rbs

I know it was a joke, but it didn't make much sense!:sorry:

A much better joke would've been to make fun of something of Christine's(just for your own future reference).;)

Why would I make fun of Christine - she makes the Time album!

Im sorry my joke wasn't to your liking - I will try harder next time :D

You made fun of the one guy in FM's history, that I don't care for....


Keep up the good effort!:woohoo:

She's So Unusual - Cyndi Lauper
Hat Full of Stars - Cyndi Lauper

There's more, obviously, but laziness strikes. :p

I love your new sig, by the way....cracks me up everytime I see it.

:blob2: I couldn't decide which quote to put under it... I was going to use the one about playing hide the cobra with the chambermaid. :p

"She's So Unusual" maybe, but "Hat Full of Stars" - No Way!!!!

i'll second whoever said these are rare...

here's what i can think of:

- buckingham nicks

- sinead o'connor: i do not want what i haven't got

- imogen heap: speak for yourself

and if mark knopfler and emmylou harris had only left off the god-awful "red staggerwing"... all the roadrunning would have been perfection.

there must be more - but that's it for now.

wow. not a single song on any of those that you skip? :shocked: i'm stunned. i wish i were as tolerant. :laugh:
