Certainly..."Surrealistic Pillow"...Jefferson Airplane....

I have a great story related to Jefferson Airplane. A number of years ago there was a concert in New Haven that had the Airplane and Chuck Berry on the bill. The Airplane was on before Chuck and I was there with a bunch of my friends who were there for Airplane (I was there to heare Chuck). The concert was held in a hockey arena with the tunnel all around the rink. While the Airplane was on I went for a walk around the tunnel and came across a door with a very large black man standing in it. I asked him, "Is Mr Berry in there?" He answered Yes. I said, "I would love to meet him and tell him how much I love his music." The guy in the door said, "Well come on in." and he stepped aside to let me pass. I walked in and there were some chairs and a sofa and Chuck Berry and some of his band were sitting around having some beers.

I approached Chuck and told how much I loved his music and thanked him for his contribution to rock and roll. He said thanks, gave a beer, and said "Sit awhile and lets get to know each other." I sat there for about 15 minutes talking with the GOD of rock and roll like he was just another guy drinking a beer with him. Then I went back to my seat and told my friends what had happened. To this day those guys don't believe me but it is absolutely true.

Chuck Berry came on and was awesome. He played Roll Over Beatoven and some youngster about three rows back said very loudly, "Hey why is that black guy playing that Beatles song?" My friends and I all told him he had that a little wrong and had a good laugh.

There are a lot of threads about songs for this and that (i.e. your favorite song to week to while eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's, etc.). But we rarely address whole albums anymore. I remember back before Ipods, I would put a CD in my stereo, put my headphones on and listen to an album all the way through. Find those little gem songs that the artists put in, but never get any radio play. Sometimes the album is conceptual and each song adds to a greater work of art. The fact is, that with randomizers, play lists and buying songs one song at a time, we miss the whole work, which is often greater than the sum of its parts.

60's - Abby Road - Beatles

70's - Animals - Pink Floyd

80's - Calm Animals - The Fixx

90's - 99.9f - Susan Vega

00's - Them Crooked Vultures

I love Quantum by planet X. Every track is amazingly intricate and beautiful, I can listen to it and relate no matter what mood I am in. Top tier musicianship and complex composition with no sacrifice to emotion.

[The drummer doesn't want to make a new album because they don't make any money, so please go check them out. You'll do the world a favor if you help persuade them.]

Tied for second are Octavarium by Dream Theater and Meddle by Floyd.

My favorite albums would fill a room - they did, I had over 5000 albums before I had to sell them all.

So many different groups that I loved and no one else ever heard of.

Here are a few that are very special for very different reasons.

Don Ellis - Soaring (a rare non-electronic album by this amazing big band)

Jeff Sturges and Universe - Self titled - Rock for big band - with songs like Mountain's Mississippi Queen

Michael Nesmith - Infinite Rider On The Big Dogma - featured in Elephant Parts - the first made for video collection.

PDQ Bach - An Historic Return - featuring Professor Peter Shickle's Unbegun Symphony

Love ya,

Sally

As far as albums that I could listen to the whole way through without stopping, I'd have to include Joanna Newsom's "Ys" and Belle and Sebastian's "If You're Feeling Sinister" (really most of B&S's releases deserve to be listened to in one sitting), though I'm sure I could think of a lot more.

I also agree that it's important to experience an album the way the musicians had intended it - that's also part of why I'm so anti-piracy and pro-actual album buying. With mp3s you lose the CD/case design, artwork, linear notes, etc.

I totally miss the 33 1/3 albums....The covers could be read and you could look at the artwork and liner notes!

No such thing anymore

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
