i forgot to add Primus to my list. i have "Pork Soda" on the cd player right now at work. :)

John,

To be honest, I only started liking the late 80's early 90's English stuff when I was spinning these singles at a nighclub (did my own mix show). Stuff with 120 bpm (beats per minute) that could be beat mixed - like New Order, Depeche Mode, Erasure, etc.

Never really go into the darker side of the then "alternative" stuff (too collegey). I never liked Morrisey - not b/c his music is so "gay" so to speak but very repetitive. I never heard so many major thirds in so many songs in the same key! :yak:

Sounds like we were doing the same thing during those years Ben!...

Club Jockeying was nuts!... especially during those days!

Many women in them days! = many problems!...

N`uff said...

Don, women weren't on the radar screen at the time. :laughs:

I was addicted to 12 inch vinyl singles. Had a subscription to the DJ Times and the now-defunct Dance Music Report. That was like Penthouse to me. Record pools up the ying-yang. Had to get a larger van just to accommodate all my mobile equipment when I wasn't doing club gigs. I spent most of my time mixing up tracks in my bedroom. My clothes reeked of fog machine juice. My club lighting doubled for my study lamp. :hihi: :sick: :bc:

Music mags were your Penthouse...You must have been the originator of "Sticky" Notes then :D

thats what i forgot!

The Eagles - Hotel California
The Eagles- Greatest Hits
Staind- 14 Shades of gray
Eric Clapton- unplugged ( :laughs: )

Bob Marley Box Set Songs of Freedom is incredibly.
Just about every Grateful Dead album too hard to say my favorite, a lot of ones I have are live concerts.
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Bob Dylan Greatest Hits 1&2

Katie....I agree with the eagles and staind. also anything bob seger metallicas earlier stuff especially ride the lightning and there is something irresistable about garage days that gets me pumped. Alice in chains, Zepplin, bad co.,, ok I better stop...I could go on for days!

Many of mine are from late 80's to early 90's,
Beastie's "Paul's Boutique"
Gang Green "Older Budweiser"
Wesley willis Experience "Get on the Bus"
Urge Overkill "positive Bleeding"
Buffalo Tom "Let Me Come Over"
Jerky Boys "The Mustacha Tapes"
Ween "God, Ween, Satan"
Replacements "Pleased to Meet Me"
Husker Du "Warehouse: Songs and Stories"
In writing this list, I have also ascertained that I have many more favorite albums, so I'll stop now.
Later,
Rick

No way I can narrow this one down. Here's a list off the top of my head though:

Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of life
Beastie Boys - Check your Head
Talking Heads - Remain in Light
Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St.
Beck - Midnight Vultures
Grant Green - Alive
Miles Davis - Bitch's Brew
Paul Simon - Graceland
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
Garcia/Grisman - Old and in the way
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Live Art
Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps

Many, many more live shows from my collection, but they don't really count.

Chefboy RB, if you had one album in your list I had ever even heard my kids speak of of before I might think we had something in common, but now I feel like I don't even know you. It's tough to admit, but man, I must really be getting old. I hope we can find some musical compatability while under the influence.
FWW - reeked of fog machine juice? Where was I in the 80's?

A couple of my favorites that haven't already been mentioned...

Bowie- Ziggy Stardust
Neil Young and Willie Nelson- Old Ways
Springsteen- Born to Run
Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues
Stones - Love You Live
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Robert Cray - Strong Persuader

Hey Dad Fisherman, now I have to go out and get Quadrophenia on cd. I haven't listened to that in years, I forgot how good it is:cool:

Just one? "Blonde On Blonde".....no, wait.. "Disraeli Gears"....or maybe "Abraxas"... I meant "Are You Experienced?"...This is harder than I thought it would be..

:confused:

Right back at ya...I forgot all about Bowie. Ziggy Stardust rocks as well as Diamond Dogs. Saw him play out in Oakland in 83 backed up by The Tubes. Unbelievable show

and we musn't forget Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Souls for Rock and Roll

oh comeon rick you dont really listen to that freakin music do you ?

maybe the replacements !

I bet you like spinal tap and millie vanillie too ! LOL

huskar du LMAO come on thats like the band flock of seagulls

Was that the Mondo Bondage Tubes or the She's a Beauty Tubes??

I want to say it was the Trash tour. They did Mondo Bondage complete w/ leather and lingerie, White Punks on Dope w/ the Full Capt. Quay outfit, Iwas punk before you were a punk. They only played about an hour, if they did a whole show they would have Blown Bowie off the stage.

i forgot "appetite for destruction" by GNR. :smash: gotta have some motley crue and cinderella in there. probably some poison and def leopard while i'm doing 80's bands.
