Now here’s a list I find interesting: One Hundred Albums You Should Remove From Your Collection Immediately. I have a couple albums that I really oughta shoulda get rid of myself. They include Pearl Jam’s “Vitalogy”, Alanis Morrissette’s “MTV Unplugged” (hey, I know I know, so sue me!) and Bob Dylan “Live at Budokan” which I’ve had for over a year and still haven’t listened to (hey, I know, I know, so sue me!).

…mmm, this is something i’ve been worried about, specially with those vinyls from the eighties (for instance i have a Television album, and that one that made Paul Simon in the 80s) should i get rid of them? certainly i won’t hear them cos i don’t have a records player…Btw, i’ll keep Beasty Boys “Hello Nasty” and the Police “Zenyatta Mondatta”.
PS: oh, and…er…I won’t get rid of Green Day’s Dookie!!! No way!!:-O
Otherwise i agree with many of the opinions:
Bob Marley & the Wailers – Legend
While there’s nothing inherently wrong with Bob Marley or the song selection on this greatest hits collection, there is something wrong with the omnipresence of this CD. It is the Hotel California or “Stairway to Heaven” of the reggae world, which means that its fans have ruined the album for everyone, including you, by playing it into the ground. Every Birkenstock-wearing, hackey-sack-playing, REI-shopping bastard in the whole world has played this disc at every party, gathering, and road trip in the history of the world, and I for one have had enough. Now it’s my turn to get up and stand up for MY rights. If you don’t remove this from your collection, I will.
This has happened to me with this album!! :-)
oops, that was me who forgot to sign
We’re Only In It For The Money: “…this whole enterprise reeks of that scourge known as jazz fusion. It also sounds remarkably like the acid-rock they’re supposedly ridiculing. Don’t believe the critical hype.” Fusion? Where?
“The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band
Nearly killing rock and roll in the name of ‘psychedelia’ by adding strings and excessive production. You pretentious Limeys, Sinatra had been doing the same thing for years!!”
And I will not get rid of Sgt. Pepper’s either. Besides, it makes such a nice bookend to WOIIFTM. Sinatra, I hardly think so!
Barry, I’m going to give some unsolicited advice. Listen to that Dylan before you get rid of it.
I don’t know if his Bobship is holds any interest for you, but having heard numerous live Dylan recordings over the years, I can say that Budokan is a winner!
To each his own, of course…
SOFA
Well I don’t know much about Dylan’s music. I thought “Good as I been to you” was pretty good (it’s the only album I have of him besides Budokan). I’m going to take up your advice and finally give it a thorough listen…
allrighty, if you think that ‘good as i been to you’ was good, then you probably like just about every other of his albums. with the exeption of ’empire burlesque’ maybe.
i have every studio album on vinyl, so i know what i am talking about. i would recommend the early stuff and the lastest two albums.
ever heard the story of bob showing up at franks, asking him to produce this one album? that would have been wicked. at the circle is closing one mo’ time agin: Les claypool, bassisto of ‘primus’ who are about to record some zappa stuff as i have heard, has been accusing (while being a radio dj when he was still young) bob of stealing other peoples stuff.
so there you go.
