I copied the first post from the original thread into this thread so it is understood to what the replies below are replying. Respond to the stickied original thread with contest entries. --DanG
open to whoever wants to play and doesn't own all the albums below:
based on the fat take from the "give me a dollar thread" ($10 from an anonymous member who said steak is good and ramen is bad. whoever you are, i laughed loudly when i opened the envelope) we're going to have a contest.
here are the rules: buy one of the albums that you don't already have below and write what you felt about it. if you think it sucks fine, tell me why. if you think it kicked ass fine, tell me why.
if you already own all of the albums you can't play, but then again you're probably living a happy life
this is my current rotation by the way, by no means a comprehensive list of the albums i think are essential (although all of them are essential in my opinion):
The Clash - The Clash
Beck - Midnight Vultures, Sea Change
Chuck Berry - The London Sessions
Johnny Cash - The Complete Sun Sessions
Bob Dylan - Freewheelin', Nashville Skyline, Live 1966 (Bootleg Series 4), Bringing It All Back Home, Blonde on Blonde, Blood On The Tracks, Highway 61 Revisited
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Kinks - Kink Kontreversy
Aimee Mann - Magnolia Soundtrack (only her songs matter) Bachelor #2 (or, the revenge of the dodo), Lost In Space
Joni Mitchell - Blue, Court and Spark, Both Sides Now
Pulp - A Different Class, This Is Hardcore
Otis Redding - Otis Blue
Lou Reed - Transformer, Ecstacy
The Rolling Stones - Out Of Our Heads, Aftermath, Between The Buttons, Get Yer Ya Yas Out
The Stooges - Raw Power (note: get the new remaster that says "Iggy and The Stooges", don't get the Bowie version), The Stooges
Tricky - Maxinquaye
Tom Waits - Closing Time, Blue Valentine, Alice, Blood Money
The Who - A Quick One, The Who Sings My Generation
Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels On a Gravel Road
Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key of Life, The Secret Life of Plants, Innervisions, Hotter Than July
The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico, White Light/White Heat, Velvet Underground
prizes:
Winner chooses one, 2nd place chooses from the two left, 3rd place gets the last one (assuming that many people play)
1)Euro Only Promo (very limited pressing) of The Rolling Stones' Get Yer Ya-Yas Out. Kinda beat but very playable, if you're looking to build a serious vinyl collection this is a great place to start.
2)Mint 180g all analog transfer of Bob Dylan's The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan in glorious *MONO*
3)A new CD of my choosing (I'll search the archives to see what you like and get something i think you'll enjoy).
no word limit or minimum, just say what you thought of the album. seriously, it'll be fun. deadline is two weeks from today, post your submission here whenever.
have fun
