I'd rank this top 25. During 1991-92 this album was shaking the walls of my Army barracks in Germany, blasting from so many rooms as we all got ready for work after morning physical training. The first few measures of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" will always pleasantly bring me back to those times.
Van Morrison | It's Too Late to Stop Now (Recorded Live in 1973)
"Van" may not be a bluesman name but he can bring it
The Smiths | The Queen is Dead (1986)
I missed this in my music development: good chill music, clever lyrics.
Belle and Sebastian | Tigermilk (1996)
#1001Albums - Pleasant enough, sweet voiced, but one of the top 1001 albums? Nice to chill to.
Billy Joel | The Stranger (1977)
I'm singing along at the top of my lungs. This would have made my list of top albums as well. Billy Joel is the man.
Sly and the Family Stone | There's a Riot Goin' On (1971)
I like my funk funkier with more power, but this mixed-in-a-garage feel does groove.
Elvis Presley | From Elvis in Memphis (1969)
#1001Albums I'm a big fan, especially of his "hits," but The King knew how to sing any song.
Iron Maiden | Number of the Beast (1982)
Not on the playlist of my High School Church Youth Group but I like the head-bobbing driving metal now.
Lou Reed | Transformer (1972)
Lyrics would be more appreciated in Andy Warhol's loft but I really like "Perfect Day"
Robo Toilet
I rarely shoot video of toilets -- okay, i never shoot video of toilets -- but this public toilet in Picton, New Zealand must be shared with the geeks among us. WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS CLEAN AND NOT GROSS so you may not want to bother watching it.
