I'm pretty sure that REM's Automatic For The People is the best album ever.
Nah, not even close. Good try though.
Great album, yes. Greatest...eh.
Ive got a casette tape of it around here somewhere, i need to go listen to it.
I like it, but there are albums I think are way better.
lol. No way. It's hard for me to get through the entire CD in one sitting.
The Human Equation is the best CD ever!
**** you guys, California - Mr. Bungle
best album
k
Well alright, I'll accept votes for the Clash's London Calling since it's the only other serious contender.
Yeah, I listen to them and still don't like anything they've made. It's a love hate relationship in my case.
I listen to Mr. Bungle, too, because this guy I know at work introduced me to them about a year and a half ago. I like "Squeeze Me Macaroni" the most.
Dexter wins. is THE cheesy? Ohhhhhh yes. Such delicious cheese it is.
i think i probably listen to diff music than you guys, but i'd have to say the first weezer album is way up on my list for top albums from start to finish
Best emo CD. "Sweater Song" is king of the emo songs.
Don't taint Blue Album with that terrible post-facto label. The genre didn't exist until 8 or ten years after it was released... hell, the word "emo" wasn't even being used as a joke until at least 5 years afterwards.
I sure felt the emo from the Blue Album. Whether or not it had a name yet matters not!
"Buddy Holly" was one of the first music videos I ever saw on MTV, once the cable company finally upgraded and provided access to the station. This was back when Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" hadn't been overplayed to mind-numbing extremes yet and MTV still showed music videos worth watching.
I don't see how Weezer could possibly be "emo" by any definition that isn't so broad as to be meaningless.
You people do realise there was self-loathing and emotion in music before emo, right?
Even I'll say that MTV overplayed a lot of videos to the point where the songs got quite annoying for a while. That's why I don't really listen to Nirvana anymore, and why I didn't listen to Soundgarden, especially Black Hole Sun and Spoonman, for a few years after they were mega popular.
Anyway, back on the subject of Automatic for the People...
Just **** me kitten.
You are wild and I'm in your possession.
Nothing's free so, **** me kitten.
I'm in your possession.
So, **** me kitten.
for some reason, i can't ever enjoy an rem album. i think it's because i hate rem.
animal collective is awesome (huge guilty pleasure). i've been a fan since "here comes the indian". i just got the reissue "hollindagain" in the mail and it's pretty good.
blue album is not emo. it's power pop or something. ah, yes: "awesome when i was in 6th grade and still to this day".
emo started with rites of spring and. . .sunny day real estate and. . .nation of ulysess or whatever. late 80s, early 90s. not fugazi, but close. **** emo.
kk, if you don't notice the clear indications of emoism in "The Sweater Song," then you are missing out on its greatness. Think of the main character. He might not be voicing his frustration and emotional breakdown out loud like usual emos sometimes do, but in his head he is very emotionally upset. It's only a matter of time before he comes undone and shouts out his emotional difficulties towards those around him. The dialogue with the girl asking for a ride to the party and the stoked guy. You can just feel his emoism towards the situations. They are destroying his sweater, he'll soon be naked.
Hear me, know me *emotear*
Country music is totally emo.
Scenes from a Memory was probably my favorite until 2004, when The Human Equation came out. I suppose I really like concept albums.
Yeah, gotta love concept albums. That's one of the reasons Blood Mountain is pretty high up there for me.
This whole thread is so sweatervest and black-rimmed glasses, it can practically be seen crying at a hellogoodbye concert.
best (or 'tightest'!) concept album: "radio-activity"
I don't think I knew that was a concept album...
Wintersun is the best album ever.
I just haven't listened to my Kraftwerk albums in ages *shrugs*
