Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs

Dean, can you give me a synopsis of this disk? I absolutely love "Whenever and Ever Amen" but to say I couldn't stand that Reinhold Messner fiasco would be the understatement of the century. What am I getting into if I get this disk? Is it more of the former or latter? I would love to get my hands on another catchy Ben Folds disk that just grabs me, but I feel awfully burnt buying that Messner release after the stellar previous release. Fill me in, would ya?

This Mortal Coil- Filigree and Shadow...great pick!

[PaulBoud]

Murmur by REM is an incredible disc. In fact their first 5 albums are all classics, as well as Out of Time. All the others are well worth getting but are a little more inconsistent. Also check out Dead Letter Office, which was a compilation of B side and outtakes from early album, but it also included their first EP, which is outstanding.

Here's some more Classics you should own:

Van Morrison, Astral Weeks (it's a legal drug)

Television, Marquee Moon (great guitar work)

Al Green, Love and Happiness (simply beautiful)

Stax Records 9 disc Box Set (Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Booker T & the MG's, Carla Thomas...........Hours of great music. Grittier than Motown it's southern soul at it's best)

 

[Thomas_Berg]

any- and everything Radiohead. at least one of their albums is in my CD changer at any given time.
Dave Matthews is another popular band in my changer. all their albums minus their newest "pop" album are in there constantly.

Tom, no offense but you have posted numerous times on this forum about your lack of affinity for the new DMB release "Everyday". You seem to feel it's a sell-out disk or overly commercial. I have every DMB studio release they've done and I don't find anything vastly musically different with "Everyday" as opposed to any of other releases. In fact, I quite enjoy the new disk. Can you please elaborate on some of your comments to at least give me a greater perspective of where you are coming from here? Which tunes on the new disk do you dislike and why? Without that info, your comments lack substance. For instance, the new single "Everyday" doesn't sound that dissimilar to "The best of what's around" off the first album IMO. Musical stylings are still very similar and it's not like they are recording dance music or soft ballads. Please elaborate.

Patsy Cline - The Patsy Cline Story (24 songs!)
Trisha Yearwood - The Song Remembers When

Everly Brothers - Songs Our Daddy Taught Us
Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion 1&2
NP- Iron Maiden / Brave New World

 

[Jeff Keene]

Radiohead - Jeff's Picks volume 1&2
DMB - The Lillywhite Sessions
Beck - Mutations
Bjork - Vespertine (though I prefer Homogenic)
Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense DVD
Evan - You didn't ask me, but I feel similarly about DMB - Everyday. It's not that it's a bad pop album, I'd rather hear it than most. It's that it's NOT a Dave Matthews album! He really made me mad by putting this out. Dave showed me that he has no clue why his fans love his band. With Everyday, he hired a pop producer to put out 10 songs written in 9 days. All the instrumentalist solos are gone. And any music the band does play is repetitive, and sounds compressed.
Not only that, but to put this out, he shelved what is argueably his best album (TLS) and fired the producer that helped him gain multiple grammy nominations. As a final f-you to his fans, he puts out a "new" live album from the same tour as "Listener Supported", when what we want to hear is the new songs (even off Everyday) live.
In fact, some of these songs probably sound very good live, because the producer is not saying "quit playing music; we're making a record here."
What was the question? :b
