2. Geraldine Fibbers - Butch

I always bring up the fibbers when we have these kind of threads. i'm beginning to think i'm the only person on earth who's heard them-or maybe they don't really exist and that they're only a figment of my imagination

Fresh Aire II - The Mannheim Steamroller

6. Drag-- KD Lang

ant the other one, I don't know the name of it contains my all time favorite christmas song.... Here comes Santa with a Sack of Shit.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

7. I have Lightbulb Sun

I used to do the Web Site for a local CD store. Porcupine Tree promised an in-store performance. We promoted it, people showed up, and in walks Steven Wilson, late, no instruments, no intention of performing, no explanation, just tired from the gig the night before and honoring the disappointed store patrons with his royal presence.

I like "Recordings"...



primarily because of the L-O-N-G version of "Even Less," originally from "Stupid Dream"...



...my favorite over-all P.T. album.

...but Wilson is STILL a dick. Talented, yes. Dick, yes.

[Pab Sungenis]

8. My three.

Cereal Killers, Too Much Joy (fun punk-pop, intelligent lyrics)
Windows In The Jungle, 10cc (very dark album about America by British pop combo)
I'm Forcing Goodness Upon You, Shari Elf (the woman is nuts)

[XNASA]

9. "The Off-White Album" - Martin Newell

"Looking On" - The Move

"Mezzogiorno Sulle Alpi" - Alice

[Oddly Stevenson]

11. I don't have three....

but my one is:

The Good News and the Bad News- The Rainmakers

Intelligent, southern rock/pop, nearly every song is smart and catchy as hell.

Masters of Reality

Sunrise on the Sufferbus

Times caught up with the band quickly enough: the Dust Brothers (Matt Dike and Michael Ross) bought the rights to the album for their Delicious Vinyl label. Adding one song (the haunting "Doraldina's Prophecies"), the team remixed, resequenced, repackaged and reissued the album 18 months after its initial release. Given a new context, Masters of Reality makes a lot more sense, as the focus stays on the songs instead of the baffling concept.

Shortly before the rerelease, however, Harrington and Ludovico threw a wrench into the marketing plan by splitting to form the Bogeymen. Goss and bassist Googe kept the Masters flag blasting with guitarist/producer/longtime Ramones associate Daniel Rey and — astonishingly — ex-Cream/Blind Faith drummer Ginger Baker. The reconstituted group toured behind the album and entered the studio to begin recording a follow-up for yet another label. Sunrise on the Sufferbus is stripped-down, bare-bones blues-rock with melodies as simple, memorable and, at times, annoying as bubblegum pop. While generally satisfying, Rey and Goss (who share the guitar duties) have little of Harrington's finesse, and the songs' starkness often gives an impression that something's missing.

The Bogeymen's There's No Such Thing As... is arguably a more fitting second Masters of Reality album, displaying greater diversity in songwriting and arrangements. Harrington's fretwork is superb throughout, although his vocals are merely adequate and don't do the songs full justice.
