The Punisher Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I found 'All Time Yodelling Greats' in a jumble sale and have to say it was a gem of a find that has to rate with the best of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun_Sam Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 while the Wall certainly is a great album...I prefer either "Animals" or "The Final Cut" Wow, finally someone else who appreciates The Final Cut. I guess it did not have the global success it deserves because of its war related theme, that mainly Brits would be able to relate to (Falkland War). But great music and lyrics.

zeusbheld Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Everybody knows the best album of all time is The Clash's "London Calling." can't think of any rock record to top london calling, really. are boxed sets cheating? if not, then the velvet underground boxed set. my nomination for greatest record of all time is a jazz record from the 50s. : jazz at massey hall, a concert featuring charlie parker, bud powell, max roach, dizzy gillespie and charles mingus. recorded by mingus. to my knowledge the only recording of this dream lineup. damn tough to come up with an 'all time' list for me though coz i keep stirring the music pot and listening to new stuff. favorite records of the 2ks so far, not in any order (and of course, concise and to-the-point as always): dandy warhols/welcome to the monkey house: i used to hate this band because they're so pretentious and their work is a pastiche of "hip influences". now i love them for it. "we used to be friends" is the perfect sequel to "bohemian like me." david sylvian/blemish: this guy's been around forever, and has done a lot of weird, artsy electronica, on his own and with people like ryuichi sakamoto. this record is soft and slow but i wouldnt call it 'laid back' or 'lounge,' there's a disturbing quality to it that disrupts that. "late night shopping" has to be the eeriest song about shopping ever. johnny cash/american iv: the man comes around: this is among johnny cash's last studio recordings, he sounds about 300 years old. back around 1994, when country music--a genre he helped build--had no use for him, rick rubin stepped in and updated cash as a folk singer and introduced him to a range of new material. this record continues their collaboration. it's a bit uneven the parts that work, though, work brilliantly--his rendition of depeche mode's "personal jesus" has the balls and conviction that they always lacked. the best track is 9" nails' "hurt." love trent reznor dearly and mean it, but THIS low-tech, acoustic version is gut-bucket harrowing, the way the song is meant to be done. mos def/ the new danger: proof that hip hop can do something besides puff up about 'pimpin' and bein a 'gangsta'. don't expect all warm and fuzzies though, he completely, brilliantly trashes jay z in "the rape over" blackalicious/the craft: more positive hip hop, this time from the west coast. best tracks: "powers," "lotus flower" and "ego-sonic war drums." colin meloy sings morrissey i'm not a big decemberists fan. i listen to them but don't really love them. and i used to hate the smiths and morrissey. how many songs about "i'm so miserable and i've nothing to wear" can one whiner write anyway? but this EP works for me, probably because of meloy's singing, which is free of both irony and melodrama, and thereby wrings the emotional core out of all the melodrama morrissey brings to the table (and that's a LOT of melodrama, although i've warmed up to his whining in recent years). also, can't have the 2ks without the white stripes.. ok any band that can cover son house' "death letter"--and make it work--has my attention. death letter is on de stijl, elephant is probably the best record so far, with "seven nation army" (yeah, you've heard it before i'm sure) the best track. the michel gondry video for "the hardest button" is killer too btw.

Truly one of the greatest tracks of all time. I'm a huge NIN fan but Cash's rendition is incredible...
