Week 2 chat and predictions

[Zen]

I remember the good ole days when each weeks predictions thread was all about drugs. I know none of the bands mentioned so I can't comment on it, but Fig stupid.

[Certain]

Hi, Zenland. How are your drugs going?

[Zen]

They're fine. Thanks Certain. I was beginning to feel left out.

My music is going well. You have not heard of Neil Young? His music goes well with drugs.

[Zen]

Neil Young is a god among men. I think I'll listen to him stoned tonight and write a verse that makes sense for the first time in months. Certain with the assist.

So much anticipation for the mag! That's the best part of the league imo. At least my favorite part

[Zen]

I like it when mags have me in it. It makes my ego feel good.

recommend me some. or three albums to begin with? or something. my tastes are eclectic but i hit walls with artists who have extensive catalogues. it's stifling. i have an unbelievable amount of frank zappa material which i just refuse to dive into.

Well, you have to start with the early stuff with Neil Young because it's his best, most consistent work and because it's the early stuff.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969) is my favorite of his albums. After the Gold Rush (1970) is his most critically revered (though he has at least four albums vying for that title). And Harvest (1972) is his most popular. Those are his second, third and fourth solo albums. (His self-titled solo debut was uneven.)

When you get through those, On the Beach (1974), Tonight's the Night (1975) and Rust Never Sleeps (1979) are strong representations of his middle period. On the Beach is viewed on the same level as the first three I named, though I think it's a step behind. There's a few more in the late 1980s and early 1990s that I'm not very familiar with that draw plentiful praise.

But I am more familiar with the stuff from the past decade or so, and I really like Prairie Wind (2005) and Le Noise (2010).

[Eŋg]

much obliged. i'll note those and start with the first three.

[Certain]

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere is in my all-time top 20.

[Certain]

He wasn't hurt, if you're wondering.

[Mike Wrecka]

I legit thought you were talking about Neil Diamond for the last page or so

[Certain]

Now you're just messing with me.

[Zen]

Certain what paper do you write for? I wanna read it. You're a walking encyclopedia of music.

[Just Write]

@Zenland, don't let that faggot in the OM talk down to you. You're better than him. Let him know son

[Certain]

@Zenland, I don't write about music.
