Pet Sounds without Sloop John B

The white album if you removed wild honey pie and revolution 9

Me personally I download everything they have or that I can find. And put it on a thumb drive and listen to them on my commute. Cannot beat a 128gb of random tunes

I've always thought Yankee Hotel Foxtrot should end on Poor Places and not Reservations. Just feels so weird. The perfect ending on the second to last song in to a sad ballad. Why?

Nothing against reservations. Put somewhere else on the album, just swap it with Poor Places. I don't really care.

The Stooges Fun House becomes the greatest rock and roll album of all time if you delete Dirt and LA Blues

I typically recommend any Squier “Fat” Stratocaster for new guitarists, as:

(1) they’re usually relatively cheap;

(2) are of decent standard quality; and

(3) are rather versatile, especially the “Fat” (or “HSS” configuration). “HSS” stands for “Humbucker, Single, Single” for the humbucker in the bridge position, 2 standard single-coils in the middle and neck positions. Single-coils are typically traditional in all Stratocaster pickup positions, but the Fat/HSS gives you a little more tonal options as you can feel out what you like.

These guitars are pretty readily available and I strongly recommend used/Craigslist ones you can find near the $100-200 mark. Make sure it feels right (i.e. comfortable) to you when trying it out. Also, if you find yourself enjoying it—a good setup (fresh strings, string height, neck straightness) by a professional is invaluable (likely around $100).

Two of my favorite albums are by the Smashing Pumpkins:

Gish - remove Tristessa and Daydream

Siamese Dream - remove Disarm, Sweet Sweet and Luna

Now you have two absolutely perfect albums from beginning to end!

RIp underrated and deeply felt by all🫡

We sailed for parts unknown to man, Where ships come home to die No lofty peak, nor fortress bold, Could match our captain's eye.

Popular songs and then then into albums

I usually look up the discography, listen to whatever album the song is from, and go from there.

Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits, minus "Tusk"

Captain Hook does

Bach was a ripoff of Dietrich Buxtehude

I’m not trying to change your opinion, but Diver Down is one of my favorite Van Halen albums! It’s such a fucking massive hubris project and if you approach it as a pile of ego and cocaine, then, I don’t know, it makes sense and if that then wins you over, it’s such a hilarious rollercoaster ride of a record. I mean, for me, I have to approach all of the Van Halen records (the first six, whatever happens after 1984 never happened in my book) with a certain amount of role playing to really allow them to enter my mind or vice versa, and that being said, the more what the hell are they even thinking right now, the better.

I wanna ride in your Ford F150 and listen to your iPod; sounds like it'd be killer on shuffle! I'll buy the Timmies.

My World is one of the worst songs I've ever heard, if you can even call it a song.

Creator has a master plan leon thomas? Man I love that guys records, especially his work on pharoah sanders’ karma album… unlike anything ive ever heard!

I don't know

I'll start with the album from which the song came, and if the entire album is strong I'll begin to dive into the discography.

I try to avoid "Greatest Hits" albums because there is too little context, and the deep cuts often give a better sense of the band than just a selection of chart toppers.

You need to try them out and see which one you're comfortable playing with. How do your hands/wrists feel? Is holding it comfortable? Etc.

If you're starting out, pick a cheaper model. If you keep at it, you can sell it later and buy a nicer one

I always thought he was just as skilled at writing gritty English blues songs as he was the more well-known "softer" stuff like "Whiter Shade".

Here, enjoy a very fine ditty that should have been as "popular" as anything by Cream, Bluesbreakers, Animals, etc. (and should have made Robin Trower at least as famous as Clapton, lol.)
