That's a great album too. I tripped on Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car a lot - I identified a lot with the lyrics. It was always my impression that the point of the song was that there was no dad. I've never seen even a picture of mine, the bastard!

That one was special to Pandurito too.

I was totally trippin' on that one too. I bought a ticket for the Prince concert in Gothenburg in '87 - which would have been my first Prince concert ever - but had a school final exam scheduled the same day, so I couldn't go

I gave the ticket to a friend. She told me she had the time of her times.


Oh, well... I made up for it by seeing Lovesexy twice.

I live in Chicago so I got to experience the SOTT tour 1st in a movie theater and 2nd on video. I am STILL pissed about the fact he didn't take that tour to the states. I caught Lovesexy too and, of course, loved it but it didn't make up for the fact that I didn't see SOTTs live.

Pagey said:

You're right. Missing Sign live... Well, it sucks. It took me years to recover.

Kat Onoma: Far From The Pictures - I was livin' at a pension when I started out in Copenhagen and this hot dude from Versailles, Francois, moved into the room next to mine. He was a straight motherfucker (but, of course) but I liked him just the same. We borrowed CD's off each other and I borrowed this album from him and really liked it, but of course it wasn't available in Denmark.
So when some years later I went to Paris on vacation, I immediately rushed to the nearest wrecka stew and bought it for myself.
It's kinda like Ingrid Chavez, only rock.

Lola Flores ~ "La Favorita De España"

Manolo Escobar ~ "20 Exitos"

Chico319 said:

Yes, I do.



Post 'em up! Post 'em up!. I can't wait anymore!

Don't pressure me!

I'm very sensitive. These are personal issues I have to confess. :LOL:

ecnirp84 said:

Oh, yeah. That's a classic. I loved it - listened to my big brother's copy while living at home. I don't have it myself, and now I feel guilty about that. That really IS an essential album. Betta get my butt to the nearest wrecka stew and buy it MAINTENANT! (That's french for "NOW". )

Chico319 said:

I understand. No pressure. Just relax in the knowledge that you can trust Scififilmnerd. Whatever you post here on this thread is just between you and I and will remain so. So you can tell Scififilmnerd. You can tell Scififilmnerd all.

Why, I've confessed my personal reasons on this thread and everyone's been respectful - no ridicule (so far). Isn't that nice?

:LOL: Just between me and you huh?

Gosh, someone rated this thread 5 stars?!

Thank you.

And a lotta people has looked at this thread. So why aren't you all posting your all-time personal favorite albums?

Come on, it's a good way to get to know each other better. (At least, I think that it is.) I read in a newspaper recently that you can tell a lot about people from their taste in music, and that is why one of the most often asked questions to persons you've just met is "what kinda music do you like?"
For example, the article supposed that people who like rock music - like I do - are more willing to take risks.

Louise Hoffsten: Beautiful, But Why? - A friend of mine who'd been a fan of hers since the 6 album, dragged me to a concert with her at the time of the release of this album. It was a wonderful performance from this swedish "rock bitch" and her band is deloverly too.
So i bought her albums and this one touched me the most because I was going through a period of serious heartache and the beautiful, but bitter heartaching songs on this album comforted me in my hour of need.
