It's true that there's been a fair amount of music mentioned here that I have never heard, too. So you have to take that into account.

2 points for me to make, here:

1) Even the agreed upon "great" albums of all time contain a song that's a clunker.

2) Because you don't know about 90% of the music we've all listed, you cannot judge the lists. Spend the next couple weeks educating yourself, then get back to us.

ice, I've got the Alvin Christmas album on cassette, let me know if you ever want to borrow it.

I'm not kidding. Could take a while to locate, but i definitely have it.

Classic albums (as opposed to 'great' albums, plenty of which were mentioned in this thread) probably won't happen anymore. It's not because music has gotten worse, it's because there's so much music and so many different ways to here it that the audience is fractured more than ever.

Everyone heard the Beatles, Rolling Stones, insert other band here. That's not true now, plenty of albums I haven't heard in this thread and I listen to alot of music. This process probably started in the late seventies when punk and technology started fracturing the music scene, and was pushed further with rap in the eighties. Nowadays there's probably 50 different genres of eletronic music alone, and a billion other genres.

We always used to hear that punk was trash, and couldn't compare with the classic albums. Now we hear that music today is nowhere near as good as the classic punk albums. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Somewhere in a podunk town a group of kids are making music that's exiting, fresh, and new, and I wanna hear it. And I don't give a shit whether their album is 'classic' or not.

(not aimed at Ice, just a pet peeve of mine when people say music isn't as good as it used to be)

By the way, I've seen this conversation before, many times. As often as I read certain ski/board sites, I read The Velvet Rope, a music industry site.

Here is where you can see this same discussion, but by insiders (for the most part). It's not much different, and this is only one example of many, over the years (since 1994, when the board was established).

Yow! Prolly no the best thing to post on a board with an overwhelming percentage of sexually deprived males. Even if there is a little winky face next to your statement. In fact, I uh... I um... I think that uh.... uh... I gotta go away for a few minutes right now.

I think you're right, but minus the bathrobe. I've always pictured iceman as a Speedos guy.

Ernest Ranglin - Below the Bassline - 1996

U2 is one of those bands that can make you cringe or jump for joy, usually at the same moment. I definitely understand why people don't like this band.

However in terms of musicality alone (if a modern band can be judged in such a way), it's my opinion that The Joshua Tree is a masterpiece from beginning to end. It still impresses me 17 years after its release. Every song feels fresh and timeless. Kind of like me.

Since you seem to want to make this personal, despite my disclaimers, I will say this:

1. I know as much about music as you or anyone else on this board.

2. That ain't your ass.

Now say something smart, 'cause there's always a first time.

Well, not always.

[iceman]

Whaddya think her ass really looks like?

Anybody else getting Jabba the Hut freakouts?

What's the best R.L. Burnside album? And have the North Mississippi Allstars added to or detracted from his legend?

Big Walter or Little Walter?

C'mon, c'mon.

[Odin]

tight and with a black VS thong

Anybody else getting Jabba the Hut freakouts?

Is it 5:30 again?

What's the best R.L. Burnside album? And have the North Mississippi Allstars added to or detracted from his legend?

Yes

Big Walter or Little Walter?

Walter con carne?

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON RIVER!

[iceman]

Dan'l Boone or Davey Crockett?

Speak UP* woman!

By which I actually mean speak and say something, not just speak in some Northern Michigan code, yeah you betcha.

[iceman]

But thank you for talking to me, Odin.

[Dexter Rutecki]

[settling in to watch] alright, it took eight pages to get him heated up, but here we go.[/settling in to watch]

[James Carvile]

Sorry, I just wanted to list some albums that haven't been mentioned in 8 pages.

The Ocean Blue- "The Ocean Blue"

But, it should probably not be on this list because not enough people bought the album.

The Clash- "The Clash on Broadway"

But, it shouldn't be on the list because it's material that had already been released.

Semisonic "Feeling Strangely Fine"

However, I would also say that the album should not be on the list because their is that song on the album that really sucks because I heard it too much on that Top 40 station.

David Gray- "White Ladder"

Not enough of a rock album.

Cypress Hill- "Los Grandes Exitos En Espanol"

In Spanish- Off the list.




I guess your right, there are no good albums from the last 15 years.

[iceman]

Brutha, I'm ready. The opposition seems strangely subdued, however.


Parker Brothers or Milton Bradley, c'mon, C'MON C'MON!!!!

[schussfahrt]

Somewhere up there someone said no more classic albums -exactly. There's been too much shit out there for too long now. Anyway, my icecream on the way up the hill: Afghan Wigs, Black Love. God damned good college days memories on the way up to Crystal, WA, turn it up, out of the car, beeline to chair six and traverse to dog-leg right! Fuck ya!

shit, how'd I wind up in Boston?

[iceman]

Dipstik, thanks. It makes my day better if I know I managed to bother you even a little bit.

Now bring on someone smart, please, I'm tired of toying with halfwits and children.

anytime old man. I wasn’t really irritated though, amused is more like it, because I know that it's pretty easy to piss off a tight ass like yourself.

[iceman]

Whatever. You scarred me deeply, moderately intelligent guy.

Next....?
