I seem to be on a roll

IYNSHO, what is your favorite album. The first thing you think of, and only one per customer. Duplicate orders will be mocked mercilessly.

Mine, it's easy. Quadrophenia. Townsend is one of the greatest songwriters of the rock era, and this is his masterpiece. The Who at their best outstrip pretty much everyone. It's powerful, brutal, touching, lovely. I think I'll listen to it right now.

I refer the hon gentleman to the text of my reply. In which I said 'as a follow up'. Implying a side topic to the present one. Set of 'albums with no dud tracks' can and may intersect with 'set with one member of Mike's favourite album'.

I have a lot of geek friends too, I kind of hoped English and set theory wouldn't be beyond them, either.

Dude, no matter how hard you try to spin it, you picked two.

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

No. I:

1) picked a favourite album.
2) noted a property of it (that it has no dud tracks I skip over)
3) suggested this was in and of itself an interesting category
4) offered a candidate for that category.

Dark Side Of The Moon isn't even in my top ten favourite albums. But I would not dream of skipping over any tracks on it.

That mind-reading thing of yours? needs a service.

Before it was Wish You Were here, now it's Dark Side Of The Moon ... so you're up to THREE albums now.

Ok, now THAT time I screwed up. Replace DSOTM with Wish You Were Here in previous post, because I actually could live without DSOTM entirely :D

That aside, point remains.

Anything you say Mike, anything you say

wondering what album # 4 will be

Can I interest sir in the last word in this thread?

[ericcoleman]

Oh no no no, after you, I insist.
