No, I don't.
Frankly, I think some Mac is pretty good. I like Rumours best, and even the s/t one before that though a little less. It's pop rock but it's done well. There's one early Mac album I really like, forget which one, but it has some good Christine McVie songs--I think it's the one with the black cover and the penguin. Again, very pop, but good.

You would do well to check out that Peter Green album. It's been reissued recently too, but I picked up an original for 15 bucks, so it's not a pricey one in any case.
I think the most someone could tell from looking at my collection is the level of nerdiness with which I pursue this interest. I definitely have some embarrassing LPs in my collection as well. We all do. |

Yeah, Adam and the Ants hardly counts as truly embarrassing.

Will do. I'm due for another record store visit. It's been a good 24 hours or so since my last.

Lindsay Buckingham's new one is supposed to actually be good, but then again, who knows with reviews these days being so vanilla.

Good Thread.
I am certain gmku did not mean that he judges the entire worth of a person by whether they dig Metal Box. I am sure he meant to app,ly this only to someone's musical tastes. when any of us say someone ahs "cool" musical tastes, we just mean that they like generally the type of music we like. With that said, I have bands that do that for me. If you do not appreciate the Beatles then you are wasting my music loving time. if you like sonic youth, and I mean REALLY like sonic youth and not just name drop them to seem hip, then I know there are a ton of other bands we could talk about and enjoy together and get off on it. If you love the Misfits and know enough to hate the misfits post-1985, then you are allright by me my friend. If you own any albums by thelonious Monk and/or Charles Mingus, and you do not just listen to the dreaded "jazz vocalists" category, then we can hang and enjoy some good jazz. if your favorite "punk" band is green day, leave me the fuck alone.

embarrasing albums
I have ABBA "Thank You For The Music" in Spanish. I have the Herman's Hermits greatest hits. (great to put on at an "indie rock" party and see who has a sense of humor)

Exactly, Rob I. I was, of course, being somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I'm not so shallow as to judge one's worth based on the music he or she buys (or maybe I am... hmm...). Beyond that, all I really meant was it's a fun way to see if you and a bud are on the same musical wavelength.

A litmus test album can also be one that is opposite of cool. Like Rumours or the Eagles Greatest Hits or something like that. One you use to test how the other person reacts and what he/she thinks of you for liking something that's "uncool." Know what I mean?
