03/14/2006: "My own personal sountrack"

I've never been a "song" person, I've always been an album person. Anyone can write a catchy tune, but to make a great album takes vision, dedication and 10-12 times the musical talent. What follows is a list of the music I have on my mp3 player today, each (for the most part) whole albums:

Jesus and Mary Chain, "Singles 1981-1994"
Neil Young, "Everybody Knows this is Nowhere"
Bikini Kill, "Pussywhipped"
Dinosaur Jr., "Bug"
Faith No More, "A Fools Small Victory" (rarities collection)
Celtic Frost, "Parched with Thirst Am I and Dying"
Mazzy Star, "So Tonight that I May See"
B. B. King, "Why I Sing the Blues"
Helmet, "Betty"
Brujeria, "Marijuana"
Life of Agony, "River Runs Red"
Tori Amos, "Under the Pink"
They Might Be Giants, s/t (the so-called Pink Album)
Dead Kennedy's, "In God We Trust, Inc." and "Plastic Surgery Disaster"

If you like Evanesence, check out The Gathering from the Netherlands. Its seems that all the good stuff in the former band was done better, and earlier, by the latter.
