An unoriginal topic, sure, but I'd like to know what fellow Frank-obsessed people cite as their favortie records, and maybe find some new things to listen to. Who knows, maybe my list will give you some new favorites! And we can talk about eachother's picks etc. I'm sure this has been done before in the forum's history, but, scrolling through the last 10 or so pages i didn't see anything. and "search" doesn't work for me, . So, here's some of mine, (in no order)
Wall of Voodoo - Dark Continent David Bowie - Lodger Serge Gainsbourg & Brigitte Bardot - Bonnie & Clyde Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat Talking Heads - Fear of Music Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers - S/T Rapeman - Two Nuns and A Pack Mule Nico - Desertshore Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica Human Sexual Response - In A Roman Mood Current 93 - Of Ruine or Some Blazing Starre Neil Young - On the Beach Iggy Pop & James Williamson - Kill City Sonic Youth - EVOL Coil - Scatology Breeders - Pod Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner Pere Ubu - The Tenement Year |

I haven't heard the Amps album, I really want to though. what I've heard of David Byrne's solo career sounds a little patchy, but i'll have to give that one a try. Lincoln and Diamond Dogs are the only ones I've heard sofar, both are pretty solid. |

I like all David Byrne's solo albums. Since you have Pod on your list, you really should listen to Pacer. |

danjersey, love that Neil album, and I have the Sabbath record, but, to be honest, I'm not wild about it, I really love their self titled album though.
Great list, cassandra_is, especially Dino Jr, Serge, Bowie, VU, and SY, also dig the Wedding Present, a band that doesn't get mentioned much really, don't have that album though. Some of those I've been wanting to hear, like Os Mutantes, I have a friend who's obsessed with them, I'll have to borrow a CD. One thing we seem to disagree on is Mike Patton, who leaves me, at best, cold, and at worst really annoyed.
I see a couple people put Neutral Milk Hotel on there, I picked that one up when I was a freshman in HS, about 6 years ago, wore it out then, loved it, but haven't listened to it for a really long time, I think some of the magic was lost for me somehow, really unique album (and band). Wonder what Jeff Mangum(sp?) has been up to lately?
Also see a few Godspeed fans, I absolutely love one of their songs, "Blaise Bailey Finnegan III" or something like that, the one with the crazy guy ranting about parking tickets and the government. The rest of their stuff, it's nice, but it all kinda sounds the same to me.
Not heard most of the other stuff, save for Radiohead, who I guess you could say I'm pleasantly indifferent to, although Amnesiac has some truly awesome moments. |

As I said that's a sentimental list, not an objective one. And that's exactly what I feel about bands like The Wedding Present: deeply attached to their songs. I'm glad to know you also dig those bands.
I'm kinda obsessed too with Os Mutantes since I've discovered them last year. You really have to take some time to listen to them, it's amazing. I recommend the first album -"Os Mutantes" to begin, or the third one "A Divina Comedia", that's a good way to begin. Once you start you can stop to listen to it -I mean if you enjoy it.

I haven't updated my personal top 10 in a while. Until recently my top 5 went something like this:
1) Trompe Le Monde 2) Jaco Pastorius - Word of Mouth 3) TOTY 4) Massive Attack - Blue Lines 5) Transglobal Underground - Rejoice Rejoice
but it needs some adjustments. These ones could be up there too: Plastikman - Confused David Bowie - Low Beatles - Abbey Road Carla Bozulich - Red Headed Stranger Sonic Youth - Sister Devo - Q/A John Coltrane - Impressions Magnapop - Hot Boxing Phantom of the Paradise OST Ramones - s/t Tindersticks II Daniel Johnston - 1990
Anyway, I'll work on it.

Interesting choice of The The album, oldmanoty. I could never get into that one, but I think "Mind Bomb" is an absolute masterpiece. I'll have to try again with "Naked Self."
Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

Oh yeah, forgot about Mind Bomb - you're right, it is better than Naked Self. Infected used to be my favourite but sounds horribly dated now. |

I just figured out why I never got into "Naked Self." My copy is all messed up; half the files are corrupted on my iPod. I'll have to get a proper copy and give it a shot. What else do you recommend by them? I've never ventured far from "Mind Bomb," but I know I should.

Cowboy Junkies! I only have one album, Trinity Sessions. I do have to listen to something else by them.
Hmmm, a subject I haven't thought about in a while, quantify and classify.
Preliminary perennial stuff,
NoMeansNo - Wrong Bettie Serveert - Log 22 Clash - London Calling
Oh, just about everything by the Clash.
It's been so long, The Lords of the New Church used to make my favourite albums but it's a long time since I've even played them at all.
And then there's some bloody obscure things that I think of and I wonder why it is that they come to mind, fuck it
Morally Bankrupt - Morally Bankrupt The Problem Children - The Future of the World is Up to Us
And you would expect I would have defined some more favourite Jazz albums,
Monk - Alone in San Francisco Louis Armstrong - Meets Oscar Peterson Mingus - Pithecanthropus Erectus (there's a new one for me!) Lenny Breau and Dave Young - Live at Bourbon Street
That's good enough. |

Don't know why I didn't think of it for the list but I would say the best The The album is 'Dusk', a moving cycle of songs about hope, depression and being alone in a big city (in this case London). The debut ('Burning Blue Soul') is a low-fi psychedelic masterpiece and 'Soul Mining' is very 80's but has great tunes. Matt Johnson is another maverick who's been largely ignored but, like FB, there's no-one else who sounds like him.
Hope that's helpful. |

My dad has a couple The The CDs, Soul Mining and Infected I think, years ago I borrowed them and remember liking them but thinking they were a little too 80s. I've not listened in a long time though, so maybe I should revisit them.
Also, cheers for all the mentions of DEVO's first album, it's just fantastic and should be on my list really. Especially "Gut Feeling". If you're a Devo fan you should definately check out Wall of Voodoo (if you've not already), I think they're even better for that early 80s synth-punk-nerd-rock sound, and, if I'm not mistaken, WoV mastermind, Stan Ridgway went on to perform on, help produce, and take the cover photo for Show Me Your Tears. His solo albums are also worth checking out, but I've only heard a couple. |
