In Division 1 we have the following albums left:
Separation Sunday
The Band
Murder Ballads
Murder Ballads will take on whatever Karl chooses.
Division 2:
Legend
Time Out of Mind
Sticky Fingers
Once Jeff listens to the right album, we're down to Sticky Fingers vs. that album.
Division 3:
Exile on Main Street
Funeral
Winter Hymn
We need someone to choose between Funeral and Exile. The winner of that match will take on the Do Makes. Any volunteers for this--someone who hasn't decided upon these albums yet? And someone who can do this fairly quickly. If not, I might start the voting (so we'd vote collectively on 9 instead of 80). Lemme know.
Division 4
Ladies and Gents...
Blood on the Tracks
Together We're Heavy
Jane will be done her pick soon, leaving that and Ladies and Gents.
So, yeah, we are almost there. I personally can't believe that Polyphonic and Do Makes made it this far. Good for them!
In the meantime, I'd like to say that you all picked awesome soundtracks, except no one mentioned The Last Waltz, probably because you would consider that cheating. Certainly, it's my favorite live album of all time. What's yours?
i actually thought of the last waltz and that you'd probably liked it...i have a vague memory of it being your deserted island album back during a halip discussion...i do think of it as more of a live album, even though some of the best stuff (imho, emmylou harris, the staple singers, theme from last waltz) was shot at a different time...isn't joni mitchell in the last waltz?
ReplyDeleteI think the Smith's "Rank" is a really great, often overlooked, live album. It's got a little more bite and a little less polish than a lot of their studio stuff...
ReplyDeleteI'll take Funeral vs. Exile please.
ReplyDeleteOops: Nevermind. I judged Funeral already.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really that into getting live albums. But I did get Cheap Trick at budokan, and Kiss Alive from the library, and definitely don't regret it. Lauryn Hill Unplugged i was initially very confused by, but now love how she just threw herself out there on the performance. And Andrew, when you're looking to fully embrace your hippie tendencies, definitely pick up Grateful dead's Europe Live 1972 set...top notch. Seriously
