Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Um. Er.
See, I know that I should be a good person and say yes. But David Bowie!

Sigh. Can't blame you though.

Aladdin Sane and Space Oddity people. These are the two true Bowie albums. Please.
And that's all I have to contribute at this late and drunken hour. Lawrence instituted the smoking ban in all bars yesterday. I spent a lot of time outside the door of my favorite bar tonight.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I only have 26 Bowie albums, so I'm not qualified to say which is the best. But, I have to say, I can listen to both Low and Ziggy Stardust for weeks at a time without a break. None of the rest can bear up to THAT much repeated listening, as far as I can tell.
Oh, except Heathen.

I have a plan.
Gandalf, I envy your immense Bowie having. I have but a paltry ten myself. It's the largest collection of albums I have by a single artist, The Lords of Acid come in a close second.
Hunky Dory ranks among my topest favoritest albums. Ever. Has anybody mentioned the Goth Oddity releases?
(Oh, and Heathen rulz)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And I love "Of Montreal" because 1) really cool name, how many bands are prepositional phrases? and 2)Disconnect the Dots is a very cool song.
Awesome! How much do you know? I think I've downloaded a good chunk of their earlier material and stuff off the more recent CDs, and I own Bedside Drama and Satanic Panic. I'm glad to find someone else who loves them. And "Disconnect the Dots" is cool. How many songs nowadays have the word "poppet"? Not enough, I tell you. Not enough.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Re the earlier discussion, I've really enjoyed this thread too. I do think it's true that the tastes of people who post here tend to skew more in some directions than others (eg as far as contemporary artists are concerned the discussion is overwhelmingly about "white" music...I know that kind of statement might sound like it's intended as a hand grenade, but I honestly just mean it as an observation). But as someone who has posted here numerous times on for-want-of-a-better-word "mainstream" music, I've never felt like what I had to say was taken less than seriously, even if some people clearly thought it was odd to prefer Justin Timberlake to Wilco (or whatever).
My favourite album from the 1970s is this, which I don't expect made the Pitchfork list.
