Mr. Heartbreak

I saw these guys on 11/18/78, when they still kicked ass. According to etree, the set list was as follows, although I seem to remember a Sweet Emotion in there. Big Ten Inch Record Chip Away At The Stone Draw The Line Dream On Guitar Solo Lick And A Promise Rats In The Cellar Reefer Headed Woman Same Old Song and Dance Three Mile Smile Toys In The Attic Train Kept A Rollin' Walk This Way

Well, this certainly brings up some unpleasant memories. If only you could all have seen the way we kissed and made up via PM. A year and a half later, I still have no use whatsoever for The Roots, Beastie Boys, or Grandmaster Flash, but that's all I'll say about the genre I despise ...

Wow, this should be pretty easy for me: practically everything I say around here is blasphemous to at least a few! Let's see ... to start with, Piper At The Gates of Dawn is far and away my favorite Floyd album. I'd say Meddle is a distant second, then it's a tossup between WYWH and DSOTM. If I were motivated enough to make a new Greatest Albums of All Time list, London Calling would not make my top 100. Neither would What's Going On, Double Nickels On The Dime, or anything by Nirvana or Pearl Jam. I would place Bringing It All Back Home above Nashville Skyline, Self Portrait, or John We

I think that would be my true desert island pick if I could put it all on five discs!

I love that song.

Thanks for all the comments, everybody. Looks like the iPhone by a mile, so far!

By the way, that maneuver is officially called an "angry pirate." http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=angry+pirate People need to get their slang right. It's important!

Yeah, my wife and I are thinking of getting iPhones (as we are already supporting Steve Jobs's lifestyle with iPods and an iMac ), but we are actually hoping Apple will make the iPhone available on Verizon next year. Hence, the poll.

I buy 99.9% of my music from Amazon sellers (disclaimer: I sell on Amazon as well). I put the CDs on my Mac/iTunes, then iPod. So I can play the CDs in any car, and in my own car -- which has a plug-in for my iPod -- I can play all 15,000 songs any time I want. It's great. As someone who has gone through many computer problems in the past, I still don't trust digital technology 100% and probably never will. Consequently, I have retained a large part of my music collection on CD, just in case the whole thing went poof someday. However, if I think I could live without the CD itself, I may sell

Any experts out there have an opinion on the pros and cons of these two phones?

Thanks, everybody. When I played it, it didn't sound like a remastered version, and when I saw the dates 1967 & 1987 only, I figured I was right!

Yep, I think the seller ripped me off. They are NOT going to like the email I send.

I think somebody on Amazon sold me the old CD instead of the remaster. (I bought it at a discount without the complete artwork, but it has a 28-page booklet that sounds similar to what you got. The CD is silver with red lettering, but I have seen pics of the remaster that show it as black.) I may be looking for a refund.

Has anyone on here gotten the stereo remaster of Sgt. Pepper? I'm interested in finding out more about the artwork included. Thanks.

Hey, morbid curiosity is almost as good as morbid humor ...

Happy Halloween, everybody!

I've always enjoyed morbid humor.

Happy Halloween! (BTW, full credit to a poster on The Daily Beast for this).

This story is all over the internet, but there are very few links to the photo. Here is one, rather grainy. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3592/3663448097_ccd38b7260.jpg

Since the definition of psychedelic is getting considerably stretched in this thread, I think you could make an argument for some albums by Gong, too, especially: Camembert Electrique Flying Teapot (Radio Gnome Invisible, Pt. 1) Angel's Egg (Radio Gnome Invisible, Pt. 2) You

You're mostly correct there. Uncle Frankie loathed the hippies, and was only into sex, not love ... in fact, his widow Gail once said, "Frank didn't do love." In an odd way, as libertarian as he was, he was very emotionally repressed. Fantastic talent, though. When I was in grad school in the late 1980s I had a class about post-modern critical thinking and the counterculture. A lot of time was spent discussing - and in some cases listening to - rock & even punk. For my paper & presentation (on Zappa, of course), I brought in Freak Out! and unleashed this on my classmates:

Awesome!

Nicely put. Also - let's have a little reality check here. A heavy-handed moderator would have 1) immediately closed this additional thread; 2) banned the OP. And yes, that's what I would have done. So, uh, count your blessings, Lance. Oh, and welcome to VC.

Damn, not the Monty Python's music thread I was hoping for.
