Baggiesfaninessex Group: Members Posts: 682 Joined: Mar. 2002 Posted: Sep. 18 2005, 05:48 There are a few that sprang to mind when I was considering my choice: The Flower Kings - 'Retropolis' is a great play on words. Anathema - 'A Fine Day to Exit' is quite chilling when one considers what those words mean. Ozric Tentacles - 'Pungent Effulgent' is just plain mad! But my favourite is: Frank Zappa - 'Lumpy Gravy'. What a wonderful image that title conjures up!   -------------- “A dog is not intelligent. Never trust an animal that's surprised by its own farts.” - Frank Skinner Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Sep. 18 2005, 08:00 My top five, in reverse order: 5. Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds: very spooky in places 4. Yes - Keys to Ascension: Fantastic concert DVD, my favourite versions of most of their best songs 3. Harry Chapin - Greatest Stories Live: One of my best childhood memories. 2. Roger Waters - Live in the Flesh: This one got me into Pink Floyd, another breathtaking concert. Before I get to number 1, I know that most of these are live concerts. If I just limit this to studio albums, I get: 5. Moby - Play: Brilliantly eclectic 4. The Who - Who's Next: Yeah! 3. Pink Floyd - Animals: Angry and wonderful 2. Jeff Waye - War of the Worlds But the all time favourite: Mike Oldfield - Amarok: For all the reasons I said in this topic earlier today. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Sep. 18 2005, 08:18 Sorry - I got the topic's meaning entirely wrong. My all-time favourite album titles are The Beatles' "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", one of the longest album titles that everybody can remember , and "A Night at the Opera" by Queen, which seems to sum up perfectly the musical content of that album. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

I just posted what my favourite albums were, instead of my favourite album titles.   Sorry about that. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1767 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Sep. 19 2005, 07:08 I must admit "Hot Rats" is my favorite LP title ever. I don't like Zappa much though.

mink stoles Group: Members Posts: 88 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Sep. 20 2005, 15:37 I have a few titles that i love... Frank Zappa - Weasels ripped my flesh Tripping Daisy - Jesus hits like the atom bomb Flaming Lips - Clouds taste metallic Captain Beefheart - Shiny Beast (bat chain puller) -------------- So if you you feel a little glum, To Hergest Ridge you should come.

Zappa is possibly the only other musician that is on a par with Mike. If you like Mike then Zappa will have a track somewhere for YOU!

OK, what I generally don't like about Zappa is the over-emphasis on humour and the overall american tone of his music. Where should I begin? I haven't heard that much Zappa BTW, just a little bit here and there from all the eras. Lars T -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

My friends sometimes say to me (they don't like zappa) 'how can you still find that funny after hearing it so many times?'  well the music, like mikes, is so full of different things that you hear something different everytime and is so intricate and interesting.   as for the over-american thing - frank was constantly taking the piss out of everything american. but maybe its this fixation you don't like. if you want something that is not 'funny' - get Hot Rats, there is only one track with a vocal (from captain beefheart) - AND IT'S TOTALLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------- So if you you feel a little glum, To Hergest Ridge you should come.

Hmmmmmm.  I've heard songs that have made me think it does and others that make me think it doesn't.  I do enjoy the Bonzo Dog Band, but some of Zappa's "toilet humour" wers a little thin in my opinion.

Jules Being a Mike Oldfield fan kind of means that you are more adventurous than your usual rock music fan.  He is not exactly the coolest thing in town.  Not listening to what the mainstream say is cool is one thing im sure we all have in common on this site.  Im sure we've all done a bit of musical exploration in our lives but i can tell you that there is far more to zappa than toilet humour. GO CHECK HIM OUT HE is a genius!! But if you don't like him i guess no-one is gonna die. Here is an example of a Zappa lyrics that are not toilet humour and are scarily relevant to the times we are living in NOW (please consider it was written in 1973!! I'm the slime I am gross and perverted Im obsessed n deranged I have existed for years But very little has changed Im the tool of the Government And industry too For I am destined to rule And regulate you I may be vile and pernicious But you cant look away I make you think Im delicious With the stuff that I say Im the best you can get Have you guessed me yet? Im the slime oozin out From your TV set You will obey me while I lead you And eat the garbage that I feed you Until the day that we dont need you Dont go for help . . . no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold Thats right, folks . . . Dont touch that dial Well, I am the slime from your video Oozin along on your livin room floor I am the slime from your video Cant stop the slime, people, lookit me go I am the slime from your video Oozin along on your livin room floor I am the slime from your video Cant stop the slime, people, lookit me go -------------- So if you you feel a little glum, To Hergest Ridge you should come.
