you’d be down with Kiss, albert?
I wonder how often the eliminations will progress.
Love’s Forever Changes would be special as my brather and his wife are inviting a friend that gave me that album after we had a discussion on music at my brother’s wedding. That would be a welcome album and bow to the past that is the historical framework, culturally speaking., even if ever-so-obscure.
The game begins again. What about fianlizing the short list and driving the selection based upon actual attendee ballot casting? We’ll have until 10AM Friday to submit out ballots. Would be neat?
now that there is a definative list (we’d like to think), it would be interesting to see how people vote. if you got like 5 positive votes and 5 negative votes, im sure some albums would harness more attention that others in both directions…
anyone have any extra tickets fro railroad earth in asheville?
top 5 feels tough with that many amazing options
yeah mr. c I missed a few and kiss would be one of them
Marquee Moon would be a very good fit.. very jammable, unknown enough but acclaimed enough to fit the mold of previous album choices (DSOM excluded.)
My guesses are:
Marquee Moon
Sticky Fingers
Goodbye Yellowbrick Road
Led Zeppelin IV
Stones- Sticky
Clash- London Calling
Love- Forever Changes
Neil- Everybody Knows
Zappa- Hot Rats
if it is one of these 5 I’d be more than happy
these would probably be my fav 5
Physical Graffiti would be pretty awesome if they didn’t mind doing another double album.
i propose everyone spin these albums over the next few days.
My wife and I are starting with Hello Nasty
I can picture them doing Superfly. Page could rip up Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
only spinning hello nasty doing at this crib is if it gets tossed out the window
startin to spin the early Genesis for my girl
she has not heard it that much and I think it is very probable
Huey Lewis got axed
Huey Lewis gone!!!
nooooooo!!!
Talking heads, fear of music is out too
Banking that the boys have good taste in music
I hope they consider the Doors and U2 to be just as big of douches as I do
there are so many great records up there I fear the 20 that do not interest me at all
of the remaining 80 I’d be up for anything
damn they killin em fast…
startin to think if this isnt a hoax and the one they are playing isnt even up there.
If they did Thriller I think I would be the happiest person alive.
ones I love and think would work:
Eat a Peach
Blood on the Tracks
Either Stones album
Steely Dan
Meddle
Jack Johnson
Everybody Knows
Electric Ladyland
ones I either don’t like or think would really not work so I’d be glad that I’m NOT at indio so I kinda hope they do them (just kidding) – not including things that seem like obvious jokes – and yeah some of these albums I think are OK but just aren’t the right fit
Yes
ZZ Top
Primus
Pixies
Police
Queen
Peter Gabriel
Genesis
Rage Against the Machine
Pearl Jam
Kiss
AC/DC
Aerosmith
Beach Boys
Arcade Fire
probably missed some…I think a lot of this stuff is just not quite there
Free Huey!
I’m guessing phish plays an album with rock n roll juice -nothing too soft/mellow for Saturday night. It’ll be a well known artist/album too -me thinks the boys really want to this to be EPIC on all fronts. Any of the Hendrix, Stones, Zeppelin, Zappa, and Young albums would more than make my night.
1. Jimi Hendrix – Electric Ladyland (double album) – very meaty & trippy, lots for the whole band to rip into
2. Rolling Stones – Exile on Main Street -double album, awesome variety of rock n roll tunes (Sticky Fingers is sooo heavy downer drug filled, though it’s also great)
3. Led Zeppelin – IV (but Zep I is from 1969…)
4. Neil Young – Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere – 1969 (he’s got the Cali connection, and he’s alive, hint, hint)
5. Frank Zappa – Apostrophe (but Hot Rats is from 1969) – Wild n wacky Zappa has the Cali connection. Actually, Zappa and Young are tied for #4. Thus:
6. T.Rex – Electric Warrior -my personal dark horse candidate
Sunday morning acoustic surprise: Grateful Dead – American Beauty (1970). Neil could also make for a Sunday acoustic surprise.
Walk Away is fixed on JOTD
also, I hope they pick an album NOT on this list…prob a marketing ploy just like save the date
now they have something to take up people’s attention instead of Fall Tour dates 🙂
they are cutting it awfully close for fall tour. looking like a winter tour now?
