Day #2 of pretending I'm relatively famous
And now, presenting the second question of All Back To My Place:
What, if push comes to shove, is your favorite album of all time?
This is an easy one for me, so no one needs to be pushed or shoved. Pulp, Different Class.

Radiohead, _The Bends_

Dave Matthews Band, Crash.
The problem is, I'm not an album person. I'm a song person. There are very few albums (excluding compilations, greatest hits, live recordings, etc.) that I really like start to finish, and can listen to without skipping tracks. Crash is one of them. But there are some close runner-ups: Miles Davis, Kind of Blue; Coldplay, A Rush of Blood to the Head; and Springsteen, Born to Run.
Sorry...guess I'm getting away from the whole "pick one" concept...
Marnie! So nice to get a comment from you. And thanks for clarifying who you were. I get all the Marnies in my life mixed up. ;-)
For those of you who haven't answered the question (Christian, I'm looking in your direction), remember that there's pushing and shoving involved. You HAVE to pick one. You just HAVE to!
After a great deal of pushing and shoving, Ned's Atomic Dustbin God Fodder came out tops.
Just kidding.
There was very little pushing and absolutely no shoving
Cocteau Twins Heaven or Las Vegas
Billy Bragg and Wilco - Mermaid Avenue
WHAT?! Doug, I always thought your favorite album was Cinderella's Night Songs! I remember back in college when you and Dave used to get into huge arguments over which was better: Night Songs or Kix's Blow My Fuse.
I can go ahead and answer for Christian: Menswear, Nuisance
Yeah, it was a really really tough call - but push, did indeed, come to shove...
Actually, funny you mentioned Cinderella, because I WAS gonna say Whitesnake - Slip of the Tongue.
You know, I am very tempted to say "The Chronic" by Dr. Dre. I am going to chalk that up to the fact that I am planning a beach trip with my high school grrls for this summer and that was the soundtrack to our last year of high school. And I love it.
But putting that aside, I am going to go with "Doolittle." With permission to revise later...
Interesting that you picked "I Love To Fuck Muppets" because most critics seemed to prefer the follow up to that album, "I Guess I Didn't Really Mean Anything To The Muppets Because They Still Haven't Called Me"
You know who really reminds me of muppets? The Black Eyed Peas. Watch one of their videos and tell me I'm wrong. I bet if they did a cover of the Muppet Show theme, it would be hilarious.
Two words: Abbey. Road.
Tad Howard's "Sports Rock"
I'd say "Sports Rock" by Tad Howard. That yank can make music.
This is easy. Fucking "Sports Rock" by that dude across from the zoo.
If push came to shove, I'd probably have to say MC Hammer's "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em". But it's a tough call between that one and the previous effort "Daaaamn Hammer, Wait Till You See What He's Done" and its subsequent follow up "Daaaaaaaaaamn Hammer, You Got Serious Anger Managment Issues". Either that or some album by The Beatles, I guess.
I am going to have to come forward as someone who quite seriously owned Cinderella's Night Songs, Kix's Blow My Fuse, AND Whitesnake's Slip of the Tongue back in the day. I also own Rick Springfield's Greatest Hits.
Does it make it any better if I also have Abbey Road?
Didn't think so.
And as long as Teenage Fanclub has come up, I'm going to have to give a shout out to my favorite, Bandwagonesque.
Last but not least, I love that "Sports Rock" song that guy Tad does. That thing rocks. Like sports.
(Susan, are you regretting sharing Reid's website w/me now?)
I really like those two records by areseven, but "sports rock" is far and away the best record in my collection. and it's made by a dude who looks like me!
Christian: one of these days, I'm going to force you to pick one single album. It may mean actually putting you in the middle of the jungle with a discman and a pile of batteries and saying that you can only have ONE album for the year that you'll spend there, but I'll make you choose. One day, Christian. One day.
Marnie: past hair band love is perfectly fine around here. You're on the site of a guy who can still draw the Night Ranger logo. And who saw Cinderella. Twice. Once opening for David Lee Roth and once opening for Bon Jovi. Who I also saw twice.
Tad: get some sleep!
Everyone: Sports Rock is as every bit as good as God says it is.
My first big arena concert was David Lee Roth with Poison opening. And I still love listening to Motley Crue.
I figured out what Christian's favorite album is: The Lost Boys Sountrack.
