    I think the next band we do should be The Sex Pistols...

    LOVED their concert in San Antonio. One of the most memorable concerts I ever attended.

    And I get the joke.
    "We eventually managed to find them near Biskupin, where demonstrations of prehistoric farming are organized. These oxen couldn't be transported to anywhere else, so we had to built the entire studio around them. A scene that lasted twenty-something seconds took us a year and a half to prepare."

    I

    I think I rated this album too low. Need to give it another listen, it's been awhile.

    I'll never get around to listening to their entire discography.

    Just wait until Frank Zappa. LOLLL!L!L!L!L!L!

    Confession: I've never listened to a single Zappa song. Don't even know where to start.

    It is an expertly constructed album.

    Here Come the Warm Jets - 9.0
    Before and After Science - 8.5

    Got the "why the f have I not listened to this/obsessed over this before" feeling almost immediately when first listening to HCTWJ. "Baby's on Fire" and "Some of Them are Old" are my favorites for now. Surprised by how accessible the album is. I was pulled right in.

    So I've pretty much been listening to Eno my entire life - since 4th grade.

    But I'm curious about those of you who just discovered him this past week. Spinal and C-Op, you both seem to like his stuff quite a bit. Was it a lot different than you imagined?

    The ambient stuff was pretty much how I imagined. However, I was not aware about the glam rock stuff that he did. I'll definitely listen to more. I just ran out of time this week.

    I'm with Spinal in that I was not aware of the glam rock stuff (I've been a fan of Before and After Science for a while now; that album seems a lot more subdued than HCTWJ). Also, for some reason, I though Eno would be putting out ambient music from the very start, so listening to HCTWJ was quite a surprising experience. Love the melodies, the vocals, the ENERGY and the experimentation. Will listen to more definitely, although I have a feeling I'll be more taken with albums in the HCTWJ glam/art rock camp.

    Zappa's discography scares me. The guy was prolific. I'll have to check out some Eno.
