My current favorites:

Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures, Closer

Turbonegro: Ass Cobra

Radiohead: The Bends, OK Computer

Slint: Spiderland

Interpol: Turn on the Bright Lights

Television: Marquee Moon

The Pixies: Doolittle, Surfer Rosa

Velvet Underground: White Light / White Heat

Xiu Xiu: A Promise, Fabulous Muscles

Pavement: Slanted and Enchanted

Haujobb: Solutions for a Small Planet

My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult: Confessions of a Knife

Faust: Faust, So Far, Faust IV

I'm going with album I can listen to from start to finish, no skipping. In no particular order:

Flaming Lips- Clouds Taste Metallic

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom

Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling...

Julianna Hatfield -- Become What You Are

Garbage - Volume 2.0

Damien Rice - O

Cake - Fashion Nugget

Pearl Jam - Vs.

Hole - Live Through This

Best of Blondie (well, any "best of" really, but this one especially).

The Raveonettes - Whip It On!

REM - Automatic for the People

To name a few...I'm sure I'm missing a couple.

These are not necessarily my favorite albums, but albums that if I rated each song on it from 1 to 10, each and every song would be 7 or higher. Good grief, I sound like the idiot poetry teacher from "Dead Poets Society" (the one that takes over the class after Robin Williams character gets canned).

Anyhow, on with the show:

(1) Shiver - Rose Chronicles

(2) Live Through This - Hole

(3) Friendly Fascism - Consolidated

(4) Fumbling Towards Ecstacy - Sarah McLachlan

(5) Best of Don Henley - Don Henley

(6) Nevermind - Nirvana

(7) Flick of the Switch - AC/DC

(8) Passenger - Tara McLean

(9) Green - REM

(10) Songs of Love and Hate - Leonard Cohen

(11) Real Thing - Faith No More

(12) Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette

----------------------

But my three favorites of all time have at least one stinker:

(1) Solace - Sarah McLachlan

(2) I'm Your Man - Leonard Cohen

and (3) Rage Against the Machine

I have a lot, but for some reason these came quickly to mind today:

Exile on Main St.-Rolling Stones

Aja-Steely Dan

Never Mind the Bullocks, Here Come the Sex Pistols-Sex Pistols

Back in Black-AC/DC

London Calling-The Clash

Houses of the Holy-Led Zeppelin

Who's Next-The Who

As I'm sitting here more will keep flooding in, so I'll just stop here. This is not an all inclusive list, but I wouldn't mind listening to these from start to finish as I have done in the past and will do so in the future.

Not quite sure how I missed this one. I love the fact that the Stones greatest album probably produced the least amount of hits (Tumbling Dice was legit, but then what? Rocks Off? Happy?)

Ooo... another Biafra fan. :)

I once stuffed $40 into his tear-gas covered boot to make up for the fact that my cell phone went off in the middle of one of his stories. (Last time I ever forgot to turn it off - he actually went off tangent and talked about how Nader doesn't carry a cell phone with him)

Which one is his latest?

As far as I know, "Machine Gun In The Clown's Hand" is his latest spoken-word album. I'm not really into his various music projects (though I've been meaning to hunt down some Dead Kennedys albums), but I've been hooked on his spoken-word material ever since I heard "Die For Oil, Sucker" on WRPI in the middle of the night on a few occasions. (The cool part is that the DJ would usually play classical music underneath the vocal track so that it sounded like more than just a speech.)

He actually talked about that on "Machine Gun" (at least I think it was that; it may have been "Become The Media" -- it's late and I'm tired, thus my memory's fuzzy). He wasn't talking about you, was he? :blink:

Well, "Become the Media" is ©2000. And I saw him in 2001. I've not heard "Machine Gun" - I'll have to pick that up this weekend. I'll let you know if he's talking about me. :lol:

Actually, it was funny. He's in the middle of a story. My phone goes off. He stops his act and points at me. A few thousand people turn and look at me while I slink way down in my chair and turn the phone off. He then goes on how Nader doesn't carry a cell phone and how they are scourge of society.

Half hour later another cell phone goes off. He stops his act and points at the girl. A few thousand people turn and look at the girl who slinks down in her chair and turns her phone off. Jello says, "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. YOU..... YOU WERE WARNED. That guy over there - he's a forgetful jackass - but you don't have any excuse. And for the rest of you - did I tell you the story of Nader not using a cell phone?"
