Are you sure that Tower records first did this? What about the BBC show, that
ran for like 20 years or so. Forget the name of the host but I think its still
going in England. It was called Desert Island disks. They had celebrities on to
share their favourite recordings and play them. Anyways, here are mine.
1. REM  Lifes Rich Pageant
2. Velvet Underground   Banana album
3. Husker Du   Candy Apple Grey
4. Violent Femmes  Violent Femmes
5. Pixies    Surfer Rosa
6. Carole King  Tapestry
7. Public Enemy  Fear of a black planet
8. The Front Lawn  Front Lawn
9. Dinosaur Jnr  Bug
10. Easy rider soundtrack
Need more time to work out a final list, these are just a few faves:^)

Do you have the original version of the Cd? Sure sound like it. Hear Me is
simply titled Hear Me on the new one. t's possible the good bits have been
cut out of Evil and Hear Me, leaving short and shit versions on the new
CD. Which is a pity. I imagine the Shamen thought Evil was a good song,
otherwise they wouldn't have given it 11 mins on the Old album!!!! Once
again, I ask: where can I get this old version? It appears to have been
deleted and Nobody in Any store in Melbourne can help me get one!!! The
shop people themselves are trying to get it, and can't.

One thing that put me off about the Evil song was the triplets...And
of course the lack of anythign interesting... Does the old Even have
a triplet rhythm? If it does, I don't think I could stand 11 mins of it...

If you ever heard them live, you'd know what separates them from the
metal bands.  They're just plain _noisy_ - a Good Thing (tm) in my
books.  I've never seen a metal that can achieve the same "wall of
noise" effect that a lot of modern grunge bands can achieve.  They're
heavier (mostly due to noisier guitar), they make no pretense at
musical virtuousity (but they _are_ tight as hell), the lyrics are
intelligent, the vocals are understated and owe nothing to the Robert
Plant tradition, and they just plain don't _look_ like a metal band.

Check out the (official) live bootleg called "Unlive", and then try
and tell me (with a straight face) that they sound like a metal band. 

Other fine examples of heavier-than-metal grunge are Vertigo (check
out _Ventriloquism_) and Green Magnet School (their latest single,
"White People", totally kicks your head).

Yeah, I used to be a little metal-head, but metal doesn't really do
much for me these days.  It's good sonic wallpaper.  :-)

Oh yeah.  That wasn't a flame.  If you have a differing opinion, I'd
love to hear it.

Johnny Marr left " The Smiths " and shattered one of the greatest band of
all time some times back in 88-89 ( or whatever ) ... Now he is jumping
back and forth from goup to group like a whore. Don't get me wrong,I have a 
lot of respect for his talent. But why would he quit a good and successful 
band for other bands that we barely ever heard of. The bands that he plays
with don't even sound like the smiths ( Marr wrote if not all but most of
the music for Smiths ), so he is like a puppet to be told what to play...
these are my opinion, if you guys know more about this I like to know .
After all we all like to see smiths back together ...right ?
second thought , I think morrissey sounds much better than smiths ...
maybe it's because he is more free to be miserable ...  :-)

I tend to agree. They have been heading in this direction for years. BUT,
the Disintegration album is a serve back to a somewhat harder sound, and is
suprisingly good. I call it the 'Robert Smith Is Pissed' album. I love
'Fascination Street'. Their new album is back to their pop sound, almost
bubblegum.....
