She has actually been a very talented songwriter - and I think there are some really great tracks off Approximately Infinite Universe and Feeling the Space, and she did release two very excellent albums in the 1980s - Season of Glass and It's Alright (I See Rainbows). Oh and her stuff on Double Fantasy sounds and feels much fresher today than anything her husband did on that record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Some of John's Double Fantasy stuff was intentionally anachronistic to begin with, harkening back to doo-wop days etc. So now, yeah, some of it is doubly-anachronistic with the 80s overproduction on top of the throwback musical cliches. Sort of like ELO stuff, but good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am i the only 22 year old here that doesnt listen to the radio? I'm a 22 year old that never listens to the radio, but that's mostly because the radio plays crap (i.e. not Zappa). I mean, I do listen to other things, but when you have 1147 tracks of one artist and the next closest artist is at 373 tracks, you're going to tend to listen to that top artist a little bit (yes, I'm sick) Edited November 4, 2009 by Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are awesome. No questions asked. On that note, the You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore series are some of my favorite live albums ever.

Very good stuff I must have listened to Helsinki (YCDTOSA vol 2) 50 times in a row when it first came out. Probably did the same for vol 1 as well. Great stuff.

Texsox Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I could have pulled about 25 different names out of the hat for 5-20 and been happy with the pick and position. It also has changed dramatically the past 10 or so years. I went with mostly mainstream acts except for voting Brian Anderson #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I dashed my list off very quickly to avoid agonizing over it. My only regret on reflection is that Led Zeppelin deserved to make the cut and I left them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an evil woman and I hope you turn to stone. My dislike for you will burn like a fire on high all over the world until you get on the telephone line and take back your blasphemy. Otherwise, hold on tight because there's gonna be a showdown. (There's at least seven ELO references right there.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
