Anyway, what did y'all think about Pitchfork's Top Albums of the 70s list?

It's not a bad list, but you'd think Carole King's Tapestry would get into the top 100.

I hate to say this, but I do sometimes feel like Hec's thing is liking stuff very few people listen to anymore, or have heard at all.

I disagree with this. And not to pick apart Hec with out him being here, but I think he has a bottomless pit of music crack-like addiction love that all of the compilation CDs in all of the Virgin megastores and obscure music shops of the coolest cities ever could not fill. Be it mainstream or nobody-has-ever-heard-of-it-before. Others people likes or dislikes, I don't think come into it, IMO.

I would love to see more people in here. Love it.

This I agree with, however.

I'm a big mainstream gal. I like some of the off-beat stuff, but for the most part, my big loves are on the well-beaten path.

I do some skimming when there's a lot of talk about music I'm unfamiliar with, but sometimes talk will catch my eye and I'll try to check out those artists.

Does anyone want to hear about how much I love the following Kylie Minogue songs?

"Your Disco Needs You"

"Love at First Sight"

"Come Into My World (Fischerspooner remix)"

edited because I never format my lists right

That list of 100 albums is cool. There's a lot of stuff I don't own that I should. And there's a lot that I own on LP but not CD, and hence never play. Must remedy that.

Bowie's Low doesn't belong at #1, though. Unless the writer is going by its influence on electronica and what-not.

I'm not sure who is of a folkish sort of mind here, but does anyone here have Patti Griffin's latest? Or, a possibly more relevant question- were a Patti Griffin newbie to buy one album, which should be first?

I just got the new Patti Griffin, and I haven't had a chance to really listen to it. For a first album, I'd recommend Living with Ghosts.

Oh, I like that Kylie Fischerspooner remix too. Shouldn't work, given FS's "we're soooo art-rock" shtick, but it does. Don't know the others, but gotta love "Your Disco Needs You" as a title.

Right now I am listening to the Black-Eyed Peas feat. JT, "Where is the Love?"

That 70s list made me feel fuckin' antique. Grah! You kids! Outta my Bowie CDs!

Right now I am listening to the Black-Eyed Peas feat. JT, "Where is the Love?"

My mother, of all people, loves that song with a passion. She listened to the snippets of the rest of the album in iTunes and was disappointed, though. I think she was anticipating a political band that brought her back to her youth the way that "Where is the Love" did.

From Joe's list the other day, the only 2 I have are The Who and PE. funny combo, made me laugh.

And despite it not even being his most recent single, I cannot get Usher's Yeah outta my head. I love it, despite not liking him much at all.

The only ones I don't have from Joe's list are the Monk, Rod Stewart, and Randy Newman albums.
