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"
