These are the one's I've listened to at least a dozen times each. Definitely worth the time to listen to them at least a few times. But you will know which ones you'll want to listen to more than once.

The * are the ones I still listen to completely periodically after 30-35 years. but I listen to select tracks from all when I need to.

*The Clash --- London calling (This is definitely the best Clash album but also one of the top 10 albums of all time...in my opinion...even if you don't like punk :-) )
*REM --- Automatic for the people (This is the best REM album)
U2 --- The Joshua Tree
AC/DC --- Back in black
*Neil Young --- After the gold rush
Paul Simon --- Graceland (An exceptional album but I still prefer There Goes Rhymin' Simon)
Stevie Wonder --- Songs in the key of life
Simon and Garfunkel --- Bridge over troubled water
*Bob Dylan --- Blood on the tracks

Urban Hat€monger ?

He's a cockney

Thanks for the suggestions but if you look back you'll find that a) I hate the Pogues b) I have no time for rap/hip-hop and c) I'm not trying to expand my horizons genre-wise here, which seems to be something people are confusing my intentions with. What I want to do, am doing, is trying to listen to albums I should have heard already, given the genres I like. Doesn't mean I won't occasionally step outside for a moment (I still wake up screaming about Captain Beefheart!) but generally, I'm not looking to "push" anything, just listen to albums that for one reason or another I have not yet done so.

With that in mind, I think it may soon be time for "Close to the edge..."

Oh, also: I listened to the new Boards album and hated it. I was told "Music has the right to children" is the one, so if --- if --- I do one, it'll probably be that.

You should do one like that in the future. Seriously consider it. You know we would back you and throw so many suggestions your way. You'd have to open your mind a bit for it though.

Seeing as how you haven't reviewed "Nevermind" yet, I'm afraid I'll have to guilt trip you into it....

TROLLHEART! Why aren't you thinking of poor Powerstars at home with his two broken computers, being forced to browse the internet on his 3DS's crappy browser! The one thing he wants to read, and it's not up yet! Please, think about the children!


Nah, really though, can you tell me when you'll think about it? I already know that the "One Minute In" and "One Track In" rankings aren't gonna be good, cuz the first song is "Teen Spirit" but I think you'll like the rest. Heavy, but it has some melody.

I'll take your suggestion under advisement. Yeah it's a good idea. Trouble is that would be like FIVE journals, and I don't think the universe is built to withstand such awesomeness! Nah the thing is it's hard enough keeping four going (as you can see) along with everything else -- my discographies of Marillion and Steve Earle, for example, and more to come --- without trying to fit in another. But I like the idea. Just won't happen for some time yet. Need my desk cleared, as it were. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Beware, however: feelings will more than likely be hurt, and a few hearts broken...

All right, all right Mr 3DS! (What IS that anyway?) I'm doing it, I'm doing it! It's next up okay? Happy now you've ruined my whole Sunday?? Trying to review two metal albums a day plus everything else; think I don't have enough to do?

Watch for it in the next few days.
THEN
Close to the edge.
Definitely.
Maybe.

Yes. Yes, I'm very happy.

Really though, it should be a great read, along with Metal Month. Good on you and your hard work, TH.

BTW, 3DS is a handheld gaming system. Nothing people your age would care about.

See that's the thing about me saying in the future. I mentioned the future as in maybe you would have retired some of the other journals and you have more free time to open a new journal. I didn't mean currently by adding another journal to your already impressive list.

Hey thanks! I don't really see it as work though; I just enjoy it and am happy if others do too.
Meh, give me a cup-and-ball any time! New fangled gadgets, I don't know. You kids and your wireless radios, gramaphones, all instruments of the devil, wasn't like that in my day, made our own entertainment zzzzzzzzz

Thanks man. I intend to get back to this soon; Metal Month takes a huge amount of research and listening time. I'll definitely put Marvin on the list. I really hate the Beach Boys so probably not them and the Stooges don't really interest me, too punky. But you never know. I'll probably do Marvin sooner than later; I do like his music and there's certainly not enough soul here.

Ok I see. Well the thing is I don't really see any of my journals being retired, other than perhaps this one at some point. I do like the idea though, but as I say I'd need to be free to embrace the concept. You make some very good points there.
