Lists

[gerbie]

Instead of all the questionnaires that go around and also get published over here, I prefer to do it different. As I am different. I like lists. These are some of them, I guess they do tell about me.

ALBUMS WITHOUT WHICH A RECORD COLLECTION IS INCOMPLETE:
1. Lou Reed-Berlin
2. John Lennon-Imagine
3. U2-October
4. Elvis Costello-Blood and chocolate
5. Klein Orkest-Het leed versierd
6. Pink floyd-Wish you were here
7. Gotcha!-Words and music from da lowlands
8. Noodweer-Het water stijgt
9. Herbert Groenemeyer-4630 Bochum
10. Beatles-White album
11. Lou Reed and John Cale-Songs for Drella
12. Manu Chao-Clandestino
13. Radiohead-Ok computer
14. Portishead-Live at the Rose bowl N.Y.
15. John Hiatt-Bring the family
16. Trockener kecks-Betaalde liefde
17. Cult-Love
18. Guru-Jazzmattaz
19. Tori Amos-Little earthquakes
20. Neil Young-Harvest moon
21. Tom Waits-Nighthawks at the diner
22. Buena vista social club-Buena vista social club
23. Gavin Friday-Each man kills the thing he loves
24. Julian Cope-Peggy suicide
25. Sting-Bring on the night

The most difficult list. I could go on for a bit, but it would take the power away from the titles I chose. I'd say you're doing well if you score 15 or more, 20 would be brilliant, 10 or more: there is still hope. Just bubbling under: R.E.M., Talk talk, World Party, Marillion, Mano Negra and Tindersticks. Difficult choices: Pink floyd, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello and Neil Young. Any other title of them could do as well actually.

Funny thing... I can't say I have a single one of those! Guess we just have different tastes.

Oops, you're missing out on some well renowed, well respected classics then. But as you've concluded yourself, we can't all be the same...

Wow!

We have a lot of those Top 25 in common. Though Tom Waits Nighawks at the Diner rates about #5 with me & I'd take out the Radiohead & Neil Young.

They are in random order though, I wouldn't be able to put them in any particular order, it would change every day I guess. Have you actually heard Ok computer, or don't you like them at all?

Yeah, I've heard OK computer. I didn't think it was that special. I don't dislike Radiohead, but I think they get way more hype & credit than they deserve.

I haven't heard their new album yet, but I partially agree with you about the hype, though at that time it probably was one of the few albums that could get hyped over in the first place...
