you must tell us more

Isn't this a family website?

Good call BWAP -- Dylan at the height of his surreal creative powers, and at the height of his fame, in the 60's. And that "thin, wild, mercury sound". The most indispensable Dylan record for me.

And this would probably be my favourite live album (if I have to pick ONE; what compels one to come up with these confounding propositions!?)

I've thought about this for a long time. It's Frank Black's The Cult of Ray.

This points out how impossible this is.....I wouldn't even have thought of Cult of Ray, but after Rope pointed it out..........

My answer has changed. It was Life's Rich Pageant, by REM.

Now it's Blue Train by John COltrane.

Next week, it's going to be One Nation Under a Groove, by Funkadelic.

First of all....Bamboo.....

Mr Bad Guy? That freaking ROCKS!! I love that album and Freddie is the best Rock and Roll singer of all time!

As for my fav all time album....The Beatles, otherwise known as "The White Album"

Unc, It's only a matter of time before I get Mr. Bad Guy...

Actually, I have no problem picking my favorite Beatle....

It's Barry Wom!

Post by **BlueChair** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 8:30 pm

Ah yes, Barry Wom.

"It would be another two years before they were to find their drummer Barington Womble hiding in the van. The other Rutles convinced him to change his name to save time and his haircut to save Bryll cream. He became simply Barry Wom."

Interview: What is your dream?

Barry: I'd like to be a hairdresser... or two. I'd like to be two hairdressers.

Innes is a great, great man, inne?

And lest we not forget Mr. Wom's album (an candidate for all time greatest album)....

"When You Find the Girl of Your Dreams in the Arms of Some Scotsmen from Hull"

---

Which brings me to a poignant musical moment. Several years ago I saw a "Rutles" show at the Troubadour -- it was actually Neil Innes backed up by a local tribute band, the Fab Four and "the Rutland Symphony Orchestra" (a four person string section and a three person horn section).

It was a great show, and half way through I realized this was as close as we're ever gonna get to Beatles Reunion...
