are there any albums you've been wanting to buy or download for
a long time now and somehow you just don't get round to it or u
always leave their cd in the store in favor of some other album?

mine is:

01. Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad

Somehow, I always thought I'd like this album very much since it
is an acoustic album and all. I don't know, something about it's
cover and songtitles and whole story just makes me think that Id
love it. But it is the number 1 album I never get round to check
out. I've never even heard a single song off it.

The Ghost of Tom Joad is a great album.

I keep meaning to buy A Journey Through The Life Of Plants by Stevie and never have.

I recently got "Songs in the key of Life" and can't yet get into it.
The only song I immediately liked was "Have a talk with God".

So, "The Ghost of Tom Joad" is good? I imagine it to be to Bruce
what "The Truth" was to Prince. am I right?

I think I'm ignored on this thread...

i always intend to buy a copy of 'i love rock'n'roll' by joan jett on CD, but i never have.

Cheek said:

nah, I just didn't feel like responding to your post



Odelay is a great album! I only got it after Guero
but it's a good album with some very cool songs on it.

I always intended to pick up "Aegetis Byrjun" by Sigur Ros back in the day, but never did. Thankfully, a good friend just got it for me.

It's not as stripped-down as The Truth. I would say Nebraska would be more akin to that album (although Nebraska was recorded on a 4-track cassette recorder). Joad is mostly full-band acoustic numbers, downtempo, very softly played. The tracks are mostly sad, story-songs (although there is a track or two that offers a glimmer of hope).

Joan Osbornes second disc...

Ace said:

is your sig from PJ Harvey's "stories of the city..." album?

cool!

IstenSzek said:

P.S. Thinking back, there aren't that many "full-band" songs on Joad, but it is not nearly as sparse as Nebraska.

Madonna's first album.

Wilco -- A.M.

have you heard it though? cause if you've never
heard it either I suggest getting it! i replaced
my ancient cassette last year for the remastered
cd version. great stuff.

vainandy said:

Vainandy you really should- "Everybody" and "Burning Up" being the great tracks that got me into her in the first place- really cool early 80's Dance/Pop songs...
buy the CD, drink and then dance around your house like a looney- FANTASTIC!!!
