sadly, i don't have the still ep.. damn my little backwater hometown. we literally have two record stores worth going to. im working on wearing out my friend's copy of the live dvd though, heh.
closure on dvd? that'd be awesome.. even just the music videos *daydreams*



Yeah, I understand on the backwater hometown thing. The place I live doesn't even have a record store. I imported the still ep from somewhere in London.

Transfer Trachea Reverberations from Point: False Omniscient ...which just may take the title for fewest minutes of music per letter in the album name, which I had before thought to be The Chariot's Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing Nothing Is Dead and Nothing Is Bleeding. Transfer Trachea is good and leaves me wanting to hear Within Dividia. I've heard of Keelhaul and Mare, I'll have to check them out.

1. Frank Sinatra -- pretty much any album. “Very Best of Frank Sinatra,” 1960 is a good all round one. A lot of good songs, including classics like “Fly me to the Moon,” “All the Way,” “Come Fly with Me,” and “My Way.” The Album “Only the Lonely” is considered his greatest single album.

2. Billy Joel – Again pretty much any album. The “Essential Billy Joel” is a recent compilation of most of his well known classics, but it leaves out a lot of really great songs like “Rosalindas’ Eyes” or “Christy Lee.” “52nd Street” is often considered the premier Billy Joel album.

3. Norah Jones – “Come Away with Me.” Rarely would I consider such a new album and such a novice singer among my all time favorites, but this album by Norah Jones is absolutely spectacular. I fell in love with this song and this album almost instantly and so it was no surprise to me when she walked away with eight Grammies that year, but it certainly opened up many other peoples’ eyes, I think.

4. Aerosmith – “Toys in the Attic,” (1975), though newer fans would probably prefer their more recent albums, such as “Pump” and “Get a Grip” (late 80s.) I really like them all, but I think their older stuff is marginally better.

5. Johnny Cash – pretty much anything, again a good compilation is “The Essential Johnny Cash”

6. Garbage – “Version 2.0” is the second album and their best, but their first album “Garbage” was also really good. They seem to have fallen off the face of the earth, which is a fate I predicted as soon as Manson did the theme song for one of the Bond films. Not that it was a bad film or a bad song, but when someone does a Bond song, they are rarely heard from again with any real success.

When you start to get near the bottom of the list there are so many good albums to choose from that the separation becomes too small to resolve without a lot of thinking, so I’m stopping here.

1. Rolling Stones
2. Beatles
3. Johnny Cash

Can't really come up with 7 - 10, there are so many others.

Yep.....Here I am

"1. Jeff Buckley - Grace"
- oh how could I have left Jeff off my list!?
His birthday was last week. Can you believe it? Jeff would have been 39, almost an old man :)
