Most recent album you have purchased?

[Amaya]

I'm just curious. So tell me. It's not like you have anything better to do right? :)

[Boswells_Johnson]

1. David Byrne-Grown Backwards

[americanstranger]

2. Nirvana box set.

Outstanding.

-as

[ronzo]

68. me too.

Some interesting stuff there.

[nankerphelge]

3. Scissor Sisters

Fairly bland; would not make my best of 2004 list.

[truthseeker1]

14. Yikes, I saw them on SNL

and thought they were pretty awful. I wondered how they scored that gig.....must know someone.

[hollywood926]

22. Mine is the Scissor Sisters, too...

I quite like their stuff, although they steal from Elton and others in a pretty blatant fashion!

[nankerphelge]

47. They're better than their SNL performance would indicate...

I've heard that Fischerspooner is similar but does it better. Haven't heard them tho.

[mvd]

82. Interesting band

I like "Laura" and some other stuff I've heard from them live. Haven't gotten the CD but might if I get extra money.

[Radical Activist]

85. I got that a few weeks ago

I like it.

[da_chimperor]

4. The new 3 CD depeche mode remix album

It's fucking great!

[americanstranger]

9. I heard the RMX of 'Enjoy The Silence.'

Sounded pretty amazing.

DM were one of my favorites back in the day. They actually knew how to write songs, which was a plus. :)

-as

[da_chimperor]

18. There's two 'enjoy the silence' remixes on the album, I like them both.

The goldfrapp remix of 'halo' is quite nice as well.

[Amaya]

23. I'm lovin' that

Good choice, young man!:thumbsup:

[da_chimperor]

29. I'm not young! I'm of legal drinking age, that makes me rather old IMO

Thanks for the compliment, I'm very satisfied with my selection as well.

[tigereye]

149. that's why I've been hearing Master and Servant so much

[CO Liberal]

5. "Teresa Brewer's Greatest Hits"

It's an actual vinyl album, released in 1962, I bought it on eBay for 3 bucks.

[ObaMania]

6. Pearl Jam Greatest Hits..

Britney Spears Greatest
Shania Twain's Greatest

I'm a greatest hits completest.

[Amaya]

27. Not good choices

x(

Well, whatever ya like! ;)

[ObaMania]

56. Yeah, but when you have several thousand CD's of various genres..

.. you pretty much have it all! I've recently slowed down on CD buying and only get G.H. or something that seems interesting.

[mvd]

70. I have a soft spot for Shania and Pearl Jam's great!

:thumbsup: on them

[mvd]

72. Ordered these three at once from circuitcity.com

Megan Slankard - Freaky Little Story
Joseph Arthur - Our Shadows Will Remain
Best Of Simon And Garfunkel (unfortunately, my aunt got me the wrong S&G for Christmas - the Old Friends live album which isn't even a good live album. So I ordered this best of myself.)

Haven't gotten the CDs yet, but I know I'll love them. I even put the first 2 CDs in my favorite CDs of 2004 list based only on clips.

[brainshrub]

7. People actually purchase albums?

It's been a long time since someone said "purchase" and "album" in the same sentence.

Seriously, I did buy Richard Buckner's "Dents & Shells." I'm a big fan of file-sharing, but I don't download Indies.

[truthseeker1]

20. I only buy what I can't find online

and then I buy used. To support my favorite artists, I buy concert tickets :)

[Zenlitened]

8. Warren Zevon tribute, "Enjoy Every Sandwich"

It's terrific! Some really great artists doing covers of Zevon's work. And Adam Sandler, of all people, does a great job covering "Werewolves of London."

:)

[RUDUing2]

117. I want it..does it have "Keep Me In Your Heart"?

[tuvor]

10. Ultravox Extended

for 2.88 at Wal-Mart.

You haven't lived until you've heard Dancing With Tears in My Eyes for ten minutes straight. ;)

[livinginphotographs]

133. :drool:

n/t

[jonnyblitz]

11. how about the current two i am downloading via bit torrent...

social distortion : sex, love and rock and roll
rammstein: reise reise

ministry: houses of the mole

[Amaya]

15. Nice choices

hiya, jonny :hi:

[jonnyblitz]

21. hi there...

:hug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

33. I LOVE Social D

they are an OC band and used to play at my favorite watering hole

[jonnyblitz]

41. i have been listening to them forever

one of my top five favorite bands of all time! I havent seen them since the late 80's but I saw Mike Ness do his solo thing in Boston about 4 or 5 years ago!

I can't imagine them playing at my local watering hole! damn, lucky you!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

46. Yeah they are in my top 10

and Ball and Chain is one of my favorite songs to play when I'm feeling the need to blast

[jonnyblitz]

50. i could sing along

I know that one by heart(if you meant play this on your guitar). bad luck is one of my favorite songs of all time by them.

[Amaya]

48. I remember them

I grew up in the OC. Buena Park, know it?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

57. Yes it's on the border of Anaheim :)

:hi:

[Amaya]

63. Cool....

I know that place well! Huntington Beach for me every weekend! :)

[ghostsofgiants]

62. That Social Distortion album is amazing

One of the musical highlights of 2004.

[jonnyblitz]

74. I havent heard all of it yet.

I look forward to it though.

[truthseeker1]

12. AC/DC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

and I got it dirt cheap on eBay.

Also purchased Neil Diamond's The Jazz Singer, The Orlons All Their Hits, Olivia Newton-John's Gaia, Laid Back's Laidest Greatest (White Horse) and Dave Matthews Under The Table & Dreaming - - all on eBay. Ok, yes, I have a very wide range of musical interests.

I also sold a bunch this week (on eBay and Amazon). I'm finally getting around to selling off my CD collection and filling in my MP3 library with stuff that's been missing. It was my "end-of-the-year" project that I'm still finishing.

So glad you asked!

[gmoney]

13. Just ordered The Silent League "The Orchestra, Sadly, Has Refused"

Have heard a few tracks from these guys, and it's really great stuff, IMHO. Mellow, smart stuff for grownups... reminds me a bit of The Beautiful South

Visit The Silent League's website and download their wonderful version of "The Christmas Song" from A Charlie Brown Christmas

http://silentleague.com/

[koneko]

16. Richard Cheese

Lounge Against the Machine

Gotta love that Dick Cheese. He's great to play at hipster dinner parties!

[Amaya]

38. Never heard of um

:silly:

[Magrittes Pipe]

109. "This one's for all the ladies"

That's one messed-up record! :D

[Zomby Woof]

17. As a gift...

I received 2 Ray Charles CD's for xmas... one is a 2-disc anthology of his earliest recordings from 1949-1952, and the other an anthology of his classic work from the mid-50's through the early 70's. Brother Ray rules.

[Amaya]

36. You know I love that!

Zombywoof always has great taste in music :D

[Zomby Woof]

39. Why thank you!

And I commend you for starting two positive music threads two nights in a row. Although I am neutral on Fiona Apple, what I liked was that you started that thread to praise her, because there have been TOO MANY "I hate your music!" threads lately. What is up with that?

:hi: Amaya!

[Amaya]

45. No, thank you!

Just tryin' to get the Lounge back on track. It's a tough job, but ya know someone's got to it!
:D

ZombyWoof :hi:

[LincolnMcGrath]

19. Frontier Psychiatrist (Ep) [IMPORT] by Avalanches

[ZoCrowes]

24. Trojan Nyahbinghi Box Set

goooood stuff

[Skittles]

25. Green Day American Idiot

mailed it to Iraq

[mvd]

77. One of my 2004 faves

:thumbsup:

[Skittles]

94. I always listen to the CDs before I mail them

hey why not? I'm buying them :D

[Forkboy]

26. Yob - The Illusions of Motion

Imagine Rush doing Electric Wizard type doom.

And ya gotta love anything from Eugene,Oregon!

[Amaya]

32. Nice, indeed!

I know Eugene,Oregon very well.
:)

[Forkboy]

34. And as an added bonus

the name Yob comes from the cartoon where the guy falls asleep in the hospital waiting room while his wife is giving birth and he dreams his son is really a martian!

"Yooooooobbbbbbb!!!!"

I love that one!!! :D

[goodboy]

28. I re-bought Failure "Fantastic Planet" for the 4th time,...people keep

taking it from me.

[RevolutionaryActs]

30. Hey! I just bought a new CD today. The Killers - Hot Fuse.

I love it. :D

[mahina]

31. Weather Report- Heavy Weather

because this guys in a restaurant told my 15 year old that the bass on it was great. (Kid plays bass)
It stinks from across the street.
It was lame when they made it. Now it sounds like 70's muzak.
Grrrrr

[fishwax]

35. A Ghost is Born by Wilco

courtesy of a Christmas gift certificate.

[LeftCoast]

37. Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First

Great album, but don't get it if you're a Republican or a religious Christian who offends easily. :)

[ZombieNixon]

51. Excellent.

That has got to be one of my favorite albums. I'm listening to in right now in fact. Great album to play for your FReeper acquaintances.

[jonnyblitz]

93. probably the CD i listened to the most in 2004 n/t

[jonnyblitz]

75. one of my favorites.

God's Love. great song! :thumbsup:

[mvd]

80. Yep, I like it quite a bit

:hi:

[coloradodem2005]

40. I ordered a couple of freebies from BMG that have not been delivered yet.

Porcupine Tree-In Absentia
Th Smithereens-The Best of the Smithereens

For Christmas I got a couple:

Yes: Close To The Edge
U2: How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

[mvd]

83. I got the U2 for Christmas

I love it! Close to the Joshua Tree because of the Edge's inspired playing. Lyrics aren't quite as good as on The Joshua Tree, but are still up to standards IMO.

[sundog]

42. Thievery Corporation - "Mirror Conspiracy"

that is *bought* with cash money :7

[devilgrrl]

92. Great record!!!!

Bought mine too! :7

[msgadget]

96. Great choice!

[msgadget]

97. Anita Baker

Edit: it's so late I replied to my own damned post.

[lib_1138]

43. Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Live

[St. Jarvitude]

44. As a gift, The Velvet Underground & Nico

If it's limited to the last gift I purchased, that would be Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco. I think that was it, anyway.

[ornotna]

49. Bo Ramsey

Down to Bastrop.

[ZombieNixon]

52. Rock Against Bush, Volume II.

Great comp. Even better value for the DVD.

[RevolutionaryActs]

55. I love that CD, and the DVD is great.

[Radical Activist]

86. I used to have that

but a girl borrowed it and I haven't seen it since. I hate it when that happens.

[NightTrain]

53. Bobby Darin, THE HIT SINGLES COLLECTION.

Purchased on the way home from seeing BEYOND THE SEA on Sunday.

[Dukkha]

54. Peter Gabriel Passion on SACD

Sounds Fantastic!

[Tyrone Slothrop]

114. What's SACD?

Passion is in my Top Ten of All Time. Truly an amazing piece of work.

Is SACD enhanced or remastered or something?

[LifeDuringWartime]

128. Super Audio Compact Disc

5.1 surround sound, absolutely insane frequency response, higher bitrate, etc

requires a very expensive player and the whole home theater setup unforunately.

[progressiveBadger]

144. SACD is mostly used for classical right?

Really the best thing to take advantage of surround sound and the freq response.

[nytemare]

141. Love Peter Gabriel!!

If you like Passion, you might like one of his Real World artists named Shiela Chandra. Her best of cd is astounding, I can't think of but maybe 3 people in music who have a voice this wonderful.

[maveric]

58. Revolver. The Beatles.

[mvd]

79. The last Beatles CD I bought

:thumbsup:

[tyedyeto]

59. An oldie but a goodie................

'Tommy'........The Who

bought the cd's to replace the 'lost' albums I used to own.

[Lady Effingbroke]

60. I can't remember the last album I purchased from a store, but the most

recent complete album(s) which I downloaded (and paid for) were "Level Headed" by Sweet ("Love Is Like Oxygen") and "Vincebus Eruptum" by Blue Cheer ("Summertime Blues") - both on the same day.

I know, I have execrable taste in music! :puke: :silly:

[ghostsofgiants]

61. Probably Coheed and Cambria's "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3"

There might have been something since then, but I can't remember, haha.

[SKKY]

64. Jarabe de Palo's CD "Bonito", Ministry's CD...

"The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste", Talking Heads "Sand in the Vasoline", and U2 "How to dismantle an atomic bomb".

[Forkboy]

65. The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste

is still my favorite Ministry CD.The Dream Song is downright spooky,and So What is simply one of the best songs ever.

[SKKY]

67. Damn near. I really like "Breath" though.

[Forkboy]

69. It's all good

:)

[jonnyblitz]

76. I like Psalm 69. n/t

[Forkboy]

84. That's the consensus pick by most people

Too by the numbers for me though.Great riffs and stuff,and I do like it a lot,but pretty basic stuff.I have the same problem with the new one also.I'm into more elaborate or experimental song structures than I used to be.

[jonnyblitz]

89. I like it more for nostalgic reasons

I understand what you are saying. I like experimental song structures more live then on a recording. I tend to go with structured basic stuff when listening to CDs. some of the melodious power pop punk I listen to now would probably make many purists cringe (ie. pennywise). I have never listened to the Ministry CD you picked as your favorite. I will have to check it out.

[no name no slogan]

143. Definately check out "Mind"

It was their "breakthrough" disc, in many respects. On "Mind", the "real" (organic) instruments came to the forefront, while the synths and electronics became more of an ambiance. It was one of the first "industrial" records that moved away from electronica and more toward hardcore/metal end.

It's also my favorite Ministry disc, too. I also really like the one before it, "Land of Rape and Honey". Oh, and also check out The Revolting Cocks' "Beers, Steers & Queers". If you've never heard of RevCo, it's basically the same guys in Ministry plus Luc Van Acker, but the songs tend to me more humorous. After all, how could you possibly not like a band who put out a live album called "You Goddamned Son of a Bitch"? :)

[Forkboy]

146. I've heard rumors of a new RevCo CD on the way

That would be cool,but I haven't been able to verify it yet. I still listen to "Beers..." and "BigSexyLand" a lot.

[jonnyblitz]

148. I am writing all of this down . THANKS!

I have heard of but not familiar with the revolting cocks and I NEED new stuff to listen to . when i get like this(needing new stuff) i usually go into default obnoxious techno mode....

[RandomKoolzip]

66. American Music Club: "Love Songs for Patriots"

'sokay.

[Wapsie B]

71. Def Leppard Greatest Hits.

1980-1995

[cags]

73. Maroon 5

[MemphisTiger]

106. One of the best CD's I've bought in a long time

All songs are good, especially the last one.

[Undercover Owl]

78. Franz Ferdinand nt

[theorist]

81. The Police -- "Live!"

Two concerts--one disc each. Sting had laryngitis on the first one. The second disc is incredible. They were a great fucking band!

[Goathead]

87. "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb"

and "All That You Can't Leave Behind"

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

100. I also purchased "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb"

And Chris Isaak's Christmas CD; can't remember which joined my collection first.

[Radical Activist]

88. Simple Kid

Good stuff.

[flygal]

90. Julia Fordham

[devilgrrl]

91. Wanda Jackson - Queen of Rockabilly

[Magrittes Pipe]

Still kickin' it, too. Puts on a great show.

[njdemocrat106]

The Beatles - Let It Be
Elton John - Honky Chateau
Huey Lewis - Sports
Bruce Springsteen- Darkness on the Edge of Town

[bobbobbins]

136. Excellent Choices, You have similar tastes to my own

except the huey lewis...hehe

[Squeech]

98. Smile

It's the only "new" music I've gotten all year, and it's 38 years old.

I'm such an old fart.

[NewJeffCT]

99. don't remember, I haven't bought since Dec. 1999

nothing has motivated me to run out & buy in recent years and I'm old now.

[arwalden]

101. Tom Jones - Reloaded Greatest Hits

[Dzimbowicz]

102. Nuggets, Volume II

It is a compilation of songs from the 1960s by bands from outside the US. It contains four CDs and over 100 songs. Good stuff!

[Bridget Burke]

103. Do you mean "most recently purchased"?

I just bought "Meeting in the Air: Songs of the Carter Family" which was actually recorded in 1980--just now on CD. Three members of the Red Clay Ramblers sing a selection of tunes & play guitar, banjo & autoharp.

Beautiful old-timey music.

[sniffa]

104. surfer rosa - the pixies

[Beware the Beast Man]

105. Earth- "Sunn Amps and Smashed Guitars"

[Forkboy]

119. Oldie but a goodie!

[MemphisTiger]

107. Howie Day - Stop all the world now

very good CD, but not as good as his album Australia

[gollygee]

108. I haven't bought one in a while but I want to buy

Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane

And the Gwen Stefani one.

[Spike from MN]

111. Anti Cimex

"Absolute Country of Sweden" LP. Yes, the "LP" means I bought this on vinyl, mainly because I really hate the sound of CDs. I listen almost exclusively to hardcore/punk stuff and they still put out new releases on vinyl so that simplifies matters. Vinyl rules!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

112. Audible Landscapes by the Jones Orchestra

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jonesorchestra

[Tyrone Slothrop]

113. Silver Jews and Talking Heads

Silver Jews - American Water

[eyesroll]

115. Tom Waits, "Real Gone"

I don't buy a lot.

[RUDUing2]

116. Rod Stewart: Stardust: American Songbook 3.

I love his version of What a Wonderful World and A Nightingale sang in Barkley Square...

and bought Nellie Suite for 16 yo dd...

[AllegroRondo]

118. Bela Fleck - Perpetual Motion

anything Bela does is worth buying.

[m_welby]

120. you are so right. bela is very cool. just picked up flight of....

...the cosmic hippo. (on sale for $8 at newberry comics)

Saw him live last year at a small venue. Got to sit right in the front row. What an amazing group of musicians !!

[Total Mass Retain]

121. "Tales From Topographic Oceans" by YES n/t

[LifeDuringWartime]

131. did you get the reissue?

if so, how are the bonus tracks?

gooood album

[Total Mass Retain]

139. Yes, it was the reissue,

the bonus tracks are "Dance Of The Dawn" and "Giants Under The Sea". I listened to it in bed and fell asleep(not because of the music, it was just bedtime!),so I don't remember how they sounded. I'm listening to "Close To The Edge" all the time now,so I'll have to listen to TFTO again to remember how the bonus tracks sounded.

[GOPBasher]

122. Likkin Park: Meteora.

I bought that a few months ago, but I haven't had money to buy CD's lately, so that was the last one I bought.

[warrens]

123. Brian Jonestown Massacre

That new retrospective double CD. Disc 1 is a monster.

[auburngrad82]

124. Appalachian Picking Society

Traditional music played on antique acoustic instruments. Features a lot of really great traditional/bluegrass musicians like Dan Tyminski (of Oh Brother fame) and David Schnaufer, dulcimer master.

All in all, an excellent cd.

[Total Mass Retain]

147. That sounds like a good one n/t

[tigerbeat]

125. Sam Phillips - "A Shoe and a Boot" n/t

[devilgrrl]

130. Sam Phillips kicks butt!

All of her records are great.

[Amaya]

126. :o) kick

nt

[name not needed]

127. The Killers - Hot Fuss

Just got it last week.

[LifeDuringWartime]

129. Yes - Relayer

wonderful album. it reminds me of "tales from topographic oceans"

[livinginphotographs]

132. Kraftwerk's "Tour de France" and the new Leonard Cohen album

Kraftwerk's new(ish) CD was great, the Leonard Cohen CD was kind of disappointing.

[silvermachine]

134. Mos Def

"The New Danger".

[nytemare]

142. How is that?

I loved a song he had on the Blade soundtrack, and have wondered how his cd's are.

[silvermachine]

151. I love it....

...but it's a little different from his earlier stuff, much more rock oriented. He has the rhythym section from Living Colour, Bernie Worrell from Parliament/Funkadelic on keyboards, plus Dr. Know from the Bad Brains(!) on guitar. I think it's a really brave, diverse CD, quite psychedelic in some ways and experimental.

[Strawman]

135. Modern Lovers

Not a recent album but my most recent purchase. Most recently released album that I got for Xmas was Rendezvous by Luna. Also got Antics by Interpol and i by the Magnetic Fields for Xmas.

[Patiod]

137. Sweeny Todd

Been walking aroudn work singing "Have a Little Priest" all day

[Merrick]

145. The Shins - Oh Inverted World

[tigereye]

150. well I received the new Morrissey album

for X-mas and bought myself The Best of Motorhead out of curiosity. One should cancel out the other, I guess.
