Weakest Link: RS Top 20 Albums (Round 4)

[MN Dave]

RIP Beach Boys, Elvis and Miles Davis. 

You know what to do by now: Vote against three albums from the list above.

It looks like it's the Beatles vs. Dylan though Jimi has something to say about that. I know it will be difficult to pick three for some of you, however you must at least try. 

Happy voting! 

[Sergeant Rock]

It's been painful from the beginning, but this round I had to ask for morphine.

I took out the three late Beatles' albums....I'm not proud.

How so buddy?  There are still two Dylan albums to be eliminated.

Sure, fine for you to say, but I have always given Dylan his just due...

Oh Jeez, this is worse than Sophie's Choice.

I didn't know anything was worse than Sophie's Choice...

Hanover Band / Huggett & Goodman - Bia 538-1 Op 117 Overture to King Stephan

Buddy is a word you can no longer use for me, sir. 

Seriously, I voted off Blonde on Blonde, Exile and Velvet Underwear.

Three quite easy ones (as the competition is tough):

Exile on Main Street
Highway 61 Revisited
Are You Experienced

But most of all I'm sad to see one of my all time fave albums, Velvet Underground, in a bad position...

Well...they didn't even have White Light, White Heat on the list to begin with.  Duh!

[MN Dave]

Yeah, they do. On the full list, it's #292.

[Haffner]

This was harder. The Clash was easy. Are You Experienced wasn't. 

Hardest for me was the Velvet Underground.

[MN Dave]

The Clash was easy. Are You Experienced wasn't. 

Hardest for me was the Velvet Underground.

And I would take the Clash album over those others.  Such intensity. Such diversity.

[Haffner]

For me it was all about Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag.

[MN Dave]

Yeah, I know other guys like that. More hardcore. I wasn't really much into straight punk.

[BorisG]

I flushed Velvet, White, and London.

Though Exile would not have been my RS representation, they deserve representation to the end.

I think The Beatles are overloaded.

Highway 61, London Calling, & the Velvets.  Ouch.     Very glad that this is just a mental exercise.

And I am shocked, shocked I tell you, by the lack of love for Exile on Main Street  For me that album is just brilliant, easily the best thing the Stones ever did.  I love the sheer sound of it, the way it's produced and the way they use layers of brass and vocals and guitars to create such a complex, almost symphonic feel.  As an album, I think it hangs together better than almost anything else left on the list, a thematic whole much greater than the sum of its parts.  A much better "concept album" than Sgt. Pepper could ever hope to be (and this from a confirmed Beatlemaniac).

I did not flush Dylan.

Who needs a concept? The RS album happened early on.

Damn straight brother!
