My candidates can only be:

Kraftwerk: Trans-Europe Express, The Man-Machine, Computer World

Apart from Autobahn, these are Kraftwerk's three best and most influential
albums.  They are excellent in themselves, and they changed the face of
popular music forever.  (No doubt many people would consider this a good
qualification for "Three _worst_ consecutive albums of all time".)

I wanted to include Autobahn, but then the three would've had to be Autobahn,
Radio-Activity and Trans-Europe Express.  Radio-Activity doesn't have
such star quality.

Summary: Zappa info wanted

Hi

I have listened to a few of Zappa's records eg. Baby Snakes. I have
heard quite a few things on the radio which I liked, but can't
remember the names. I guess I am looking for the more 'structured'
(if this is the right word - apologies to the purists) stuff. I for
instance wasn't very fond of Baby Snakes. I would like to listen
to more, seeing that there are so many (mostly half a rack in a shop).

Does his music with and without the Mothers differ?
Any album recommendations?

Greatly appreciated
Riaan

Nice to see some discussion on APP. Used to be one of my favourites uptil the
mid eighties, after which they started turning out bland albums like Gaudi 
and Stereotomy. Although they did have some commercial success in the U.S with
the albums
Eye In the Sky and Ammonia Avenue, I don't think they've ever broken thru the 
British music scene. I wonder if it's anything to do with their rather 
introspective image (no photos , concerts etc.).

  I guess he got use to it or his friends started calling him Geddy.  I guess

You got them in reverse order, but they are, in fact, consecutive studio
albums.  I believe that the live *Get Your Ya Yas out* came out during
this period.  



Actually, something else came in between Let it Bleed and sticky fingers:
   Metamorphosis, which was a really awful collection of outtakes and demos
   from the time. I think the Stones should officially disavow this album, 
   and have it deleted from their catalog.
And also the two Hot Rocks collections, but I guess we aren't counting 
greatest hits stuff.

The existence of Metamorphosis kept me from listing Beggar's Banquet, Let
it Bleed, and Sticky Fingers as one of my three fave in a row.

I can only speak for myself, of course, but I've always liked musicians

First Alan Parson's Project album was "Tales of Mystery and Imagination",
(c) 1976.

To the guy who asked about their music, you might want to check out "Turn

 Are there any good live venues around the Reading area. I moved here acouple

(Reposted, since this probably got lost somewhere. Apologies if
you see this twice.)

Someone asked: (I don't have the original article, and the attributions
confuses me, so I leave them out alltogether)
>>> While I'm on the subject of live music, what are the greatest live albums ?

Usually I stay out of this sort of threads. This one however, has
an objective answer as we shall see.

First of all, however, we must find which criterias to use to
judge a live album. What should a live album give us to be
worthwhile? Certainly we don't want just paler version of
what the band did in the studio.

One thing we could think of is on course previously unreleased
material, and many Zappa live albums fall in that category. How-
ever I leave them out, and focus only on live albums whose main
bulk is new material.

So what remains? Well, we want new arrangements. It doesn't really
suffice with good renditions of the studio versions. Remember that
we are to listen to this at home, without the atmosphere of the
live show. So a good live album should give as new light on the
songs. Not all have to be reworked, but some of the songs should.
Extra-long versions, yes, that's in the nature in the live performance.

So what does it boil down to? Well, you should know it. Which double-
live album features seven songs from the band's career where of
four are greatly reworked or prolonged with solos and jams? And
the other three, while closer to the original versions, are not
boring repetitions? And for one song, the live version have become
almost as classic as the original.

Yes, that's right. Deep Purple's "Made in Japan".
