Status: offline 		I am sitting here listening to a seriously good Grateful dead album (Truckin on up to Buffalo) and it made me think....what albums do you all consider just fucking top drawer, not specific songs but entire albums that you listen to in their entirety again and again and they never go stale?
Here's a short list of mine.

801 ~ 801 Live
Laurie Anderson ~ Home of the Brave
The Band ~ Music from Big Pink, Rock of Ages
Be Good Tanyas ~ Chinatown

Leonard Cohen ~ Field Commander Cohen (well all of them actually, but if I had to pick one)
Cowboy Junkies ~ The Caution Horses
Bob Dylan ~ Desire
Steve Earle ~ Copperhead Road, Shut Up and Die Like an Aviator
Brian Eno ~ Here Come the Warm Jets
Marianne Faithful ~ Broken English
Flogging Molly ~ Alive Behind the Green Door
Grateful Dead ~ Europe 72, Reckoning, Uncle John's Band, & of course Truckin Up to Bufallo
Jethro Tull ~ Minstrel in the Gallery
Jim Carroll Band ~ Catholic Boy
King Crimson ~ Lark's Tongue in Aspic
Alanis Morissette ~ Jagged Little Pill
Nash the Slash ~ Blind Windows
Tom Petty ~ Wildflowers
Pink Floyd ~ Ummagumma, Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall

Paul Simon ~ Graceland
Talking Heads ~ Fear of Music
Richard Thompson ~ An Acoustic Evening
Velvet Underground & Nico
Waterboys ~ Fisherman's Blues
Willie Nelson ~ Stardust
Roger Waters ~ Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking

I am sure I have left some out, but that will do for now

Status: offline 		I forgot all about Queen subtee, mostly because I never got around to replacing my old vinyl copies when I I had to leave behind all my old albums years ago.   More tunes I must track down....so much good tunage and so little time!!

Yep, I've been a huge fan of SY since I heard "Titanium Expose", on the Pump Up the Volume soundtrack; and Dirty is brilliant, I nevah, evah get tired of it.

Have you heard their other stuff? I hesitated between Dirty and Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star. OA seems to focus on their older stuff which of course is also wonderful. It is hard to choose with SY as they have done so much. I guess I like Goo quite a bit too.
