Elvis Costello
In addition to all the Elvis Costello albums themselves, there are a lot of
things I've gotten into from his influence.
-
Dirty Dozen Brass Band
-
Charles Mingus -- via the Hal Willner "weird nightmare -- meditations on
mingus" CD
-
Was (Not Was). Actually, my first exposure to these guys was in pump up the
volume, but the elvis connection makes it all even better.
Bins & Friends
A lot of the music I listen to, though, is just very Vynce music. Most people
I meet have never heard of these bands, and frequently don't seem to love them
when they do. But still, I adore them.
-
Preoccupied Pipers
-
Virgin-Whore Complex
-
Godley & Creme
-
Colorblind James
-
Fad Gadget
Parents: can't live with 'em, can't live without their music
-
Arlo Guthrie
-
I Don't actually have anything of his, but I adore "City of New
Orleans", "Comin' into Los Angeles" and of course ... "The Motorcycle
Song" (also, I hear there's one about Alice).
-
Pink Floyd
-
Actually, the way my life works, I own none of their stuff on CD,
but it won't much matter til my living situation changes. High on my
list would be Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, and probably some other early
albums. Relics would probably be worthwhile even though it's a
compilation.

Frank Zappa

An interesting topic. I own and totally dig Apostrophe and
Overnight Sensation. I enjoy Lumpy Gravy but would prefer it if the CD
tracks were cut up a little more finely than "side 1" and "side 2". For
some reason I have a hard time getting into You Are What You Is (which i
also have) and i feel it fairly normal that I like 200 Motels better in
theory than in prectice. I recently obtained Cheap Thrills, and am
still learning about it, and I enjoy ...Meets the Mothers of Prevention,
but in a fairly different way than I enjoy (') and O.S. Suggestions are
welcome.

Steely Dan
-
Again, Life isstrange. Until a few weeks ago, I owned none. Now I
have Countdown to Ecstacy. I know I want Can't Buy a Thrill, Pretzel
Logic, and Katy Lied -- and maybe others, too.
-
More to come...
-
Including Mountain, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Paul Simon...
... and absent friends
there are a number of albums i'm missing from my collection and would
love to have (either have back, because i used to have them, or i just
need to acquire them for the first time). Some albums are marked "CD"
because i have them on tape or vinyl or electronically but still want to
get the CD. the list is (when i sort it) sorted alphabetically. If
there arequotes around a name, it's the name of a song i want;
generally, i prefer to have original albums that contain the requested
songs, rather than compilations or best ofs.
