Two of my favorite CDs are from the Barenaked Ladies. Has anyone heard of them? The CDs are called Stunt and Maroon. I like the way that they present their songs. I find most of their lyrics pretty deep, but the way they sing it just makes the song so clever and funny. Do we have any Canadians here?

So is Dragonwench

Barenaked Ladies... their first single (One Week) was pretty big over here, haven't really heard much from them since.

EASY

Fleetwood Mac - Rumors 1978

Though FM has many albums which all suck this one is a real gem. Every song on it, if released today, would be #1. It's really quite remarkable considering historically how bad fleetwood mac is.

That is indeed an excellent album. And my damn CD isn't scratched or dirty, but nevertheless won't play properly!

Grrr!

Didn't Fleetwood Mac have numerous changes in their line-up? I haven't ever heard another album by them which is anything like as good.

Primal Scream - Screamadelica

One of my favourites, anyway... I don't have an absolute best since it changes with my mood...

"I don't have an absolute best since it changes with my mood"

Well said.

I don't know much about lineup changes.

Well, I know I've compared the line-up for Rumours and Tango in the Night and there was hardly anyone the same in it... can't remember who was still there now... Anyway, Rumours is their best

Well, i know that started of with a male front-line, and they eventually had several chicks singing their vocals. That would definitely qualify is an extreme lineup changes.

I don't listen only to CDs that are "big". I listen to everything pretty much. I actually think that the song "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies is that not that good. One of my favorites are "Sell Sell Sell", a hilarious satire to the showbiz.

Keep in mind the Barenaked Ladies have a lot of other, older, albums... Born on a Pirate Ship, Gordon, Maybe You Should Drive... Less the "One Week" kind of attitude (a song which is indeed not so very good) but those albums aren't bad...
Anyway, my favourites?
Pavement - Crooked Rain Crooked Rain
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness
Autopulver - Vapor Trails
Seafood - Surviving the Quiet.

One of my favorites is the soundtrack to the movie "Josie and the ****ycats."

What happened to my post? Why did the word "****ycats" get edited?
