SOLID GOLD. One of my all-time top favorites, and his performance is so beautifully strange and scary.

I agree transmarine. Solid Gold was my head soundtrack for some time when it first came to us.

Wow. Off topic, but I remember when FB&C ST first came out. I got it a few days before the release date, and was walking home holding the CD in my hands, memorizing all the track titles before I got home...delighted by the obscure and slightly cheap looking presentation of the artwork, but loving it all the same. I rushed upstairs to my bedroom, broke into a 12 pack of Newcastle, and spun the cd. SOLID GOLD grabbed me by the balls (or maybe I did, and thought it was the song because of all the beer by that point in the album). It is still my favorite Frank Black album. This album marks the point where he really began, I think, to experiment with his voice, and has since displayed so much more power, range, and characteristic than anything previous to FB&C's ST. NOT to say he was bad before that point...he just got different with his 4th album.

I too had a similar experience with FB&C's. I clearly remember the excitement I felt when I first bought Pistolero. The first track, Bad Harmony said it all. This is what I suspect the band must have been going through, eventually arriving in a place where the sound got better after time. The song says it all.

Frank's most unattractive vocal and I still love it - Hate Me
"My shirt is shitty. Combed my hair, it still ain't pretty".

| "Men In Black" from Cult of Ray. Flawless performance. I could never pull that off. |

Thanks for the reminder IceCream. If he wasn't so effortlessly grand I wouldn't need one.
Men In Black yes and The Man Who Was Too Loud stands out for me that way too.

Speedy Marie would have to be my all time favorite, so far b/c I have not heard everything. But everyday I am hooked on a different song. TOTY is the CD I am hooked on right now. BLD was last week. Next week, who knows...
