New Addition to "Most Kick-Ass Albums of All Time" "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" - Flaming Lips Reserved for albums with true vision... it's a short list, My Top Albums of All-Time. Well, short as compared to the thousands of CDs alphabetized, stacked around me in my studio. After nearly a year of listening to the Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots", I'm proud to reward this sonically-creative and imperialistic CD to the ranks of: "Bellybutton" Jellyfish "Misplaced Childhood" Marillion "Mental Jewelry" Live "Purple" Stone Temple Pilots "Mezzanine" Massive Attack "Dummy" Portishead "Operation Mindcrime" Queensryche "Mechanical Resonance" Tesla "Appetite for Destruction" Guns N Roses "Diary of a Madman" Ozzy Osbourne "Machine Head" Deep Purple "Mama Said" Lenny Kravitz "Pet Sounds" The BeachBoys "Rubber Soul" The Beatles "Only Visiting This Planet" Larry Norman "Gretchen Goes To Nebraska" King's X If your musical tastebuds parallel with my own *at all*, check out the Flaming Lips site and buy the CD. In fact, if you're wary of my words, the Lips have the entire cosmic album available to listen to online. Lemme know what YOU think. Few rock albums will kick your ass everytime you listen to it. On the other hand, how often do we actually take the time to listen to new CDs from first to last track? We no longer wear our Sony Walkmen twenty-four seven and very rarely pile into a friend's car for a louder-than-life roadtrip. When *do* we listen to music? Recently, I saw a Family Fued episode where the "Wolf" family needed to guess what most people DO while listening to music. The top answer was NOT... sitting on a beanbag with headphones or even driving a car... which amazed me. Instead, the Family Fued SURVEY SAYS: "Cleaning the House". Is it possible, if we created more opportunity to listen to music, maybe we'd actually hear more, new and fantastic albums... not to mention fueling the spic n span-ocity of our kitchen floors? Take a listen, tell me if you think I'm out of my head. peace- seanrox
