You can't call me Al
 
But you can call me Mustard, since that was my name at my former forum. Then again you can call me Rubber Soul too (duh :laughing:)I'm actually a refugee from a writing forum where I was a Supervisor. I've since joined another writing site, but, frankly, it doesn't excite me the way my original forum did.

So now I'm exploring my first and truest love, music collecting. I once had a significant record collection before I converted everything to MP3. I'm not really a musician but I have a great appreciation of twentieth century music and especially sixties rock, punk and what was known as college rock in the Eighties. I'm also into folk, blues, sixties garage rock, glam rock (not glam metal though). Maybe I'll do my own top ten lists if I'm allowed and get acclimated here.

Anyway, I guess that's where I'm at. I'm a Beatles fan as you might have gathered (though Rubber Soul is only my second favorite all time album). I'm also into REM, Bowie, the Kinks, and about a hundred other artists or so.

Okay, so my novel is finished so, Hello. :wave:

**** you, Al, Motley Crue rule. Horns up and **** the priest.

OccultHawk 10-18-2017 01:38 PM

Welcome

Just be a dick and you'll fit right in.

The Batlord 10-18-2017 01:41 PM

True. And Motley Crue rule.

Exo 10-18-2017 01:43 PM

I'm curious as to what your favorite album of all time is and why that isn't your username.

rubber soul 10-18-2017 01:51 PM

Sgt Pepper. I went with Rubber Soul because it sounded better. :D

OccultHawk 10-18-2017 01:55 PM

Oddly, the Beatles don't get enough love here. Is A Day in the Life your favorite Beatles song?

Where do you rank Revolver?

rubber soul 10-18-2017 02:09 PM

Close. It's second to Strawberry Fields Forever.

Revolver comes in third and the White Album is in my top ten, (Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited is my favorite Non-Beatles album)

OccultHawk 10-18-2017 02:21 PM

My favorite Dylan record is Freewheelin'

OccultHawk 10-18-2017 02:22 PM

What's your favorite Kinks song?

rubber soul 10-18-2017 02:36 PM

I like Freewheelin.

Favorite Kinks song is Sunny Afternoon, what's yours?

OccultHawk 10-18-2017 02:41 PM

Village Green Preservation Society

I also love Superman and You Really Got Me

The Batlord 10-18-2017 02:48 PM

"Last of the Steam Powered Trains" cause it's pop blues gold and anything with a harmonica is automatically made better.

Oriphiel 10-18-2017 04:56 PM

OMG

Your avatar

I fucking love the Pebbles series, and 60s Garage stuff in general

Will you marry me?

rubber soul 10-19-2017 10:20 AM

Hey, Ori. :)

I started buying the Pebbles series when I was working at a record store many moons ago. I think I had the first 27 volumes before I converted them all to Mp3s. The first eight volumes are the best.

Now of course I can listen to anything I want off Youtube. Who knew?

Oriphiel 10-19-2017 10:32 AM

Do you like Girls in the Garage, too?

rubber soul 10-19-2017 10:40 AM

Yep. I had a few of those volumes too. I think I'm in love with the lead singer of the Luv'd Ones. :D

Oriphiel 10-19-2017 10:44 AM

Yessss. That's a killer tune and easily the best track on the album.

But the correct answer is "Waterloo Sunset."

There are two best songs on the album wut? And if there's a second it's "Picture Book".

I was thinking from The Village Green Preservation Society. I honestly don't know much more. I probably should learn way more since it's an awesome album and I love pop.

I thought you were going to say "Waterloo Sunset is on a different plane of existence." cause you know, it's so extraordinarily good.

rubber soul 10-21-2017 02:35 AM

Hey, Pet Sounds. I'm guessing you're a Beach Boys fan as well :)

Waterloo Sunset is on Something Else by the Kinks (my favorite Kinks LP by the way). Picture Book is on Village Green Preservation Society (with Last of the Steam Powered Trains).

Thanks. Have you heard the version of the Word from the Thirteenth Floor Elevators? You can search for it on YouTube. It's awesome.
