thanx zambelli! well, it's only these 3 albums that i've listened to completely. i don't wanna base the list on partial knowledge, so i guess you'll have to wait some time before i get my hands on all the other floyd stuff...
I can see why you may not like Iommi, Gilmour or Hammet, but Knopfler is not one of those guys whose talent you can ignore (the other two would be Hendrix and Santana - I don't realy like Hendrix that much, he's just too important to leave out)
Thanx for the comment
My smirk of pride becomes a shame-faced smile:-) Smirk of pride because again I have inspired a list. Shame-faced smile because I can only claim to have read three of the stories on your list. From what you know of my tastes, can you guess which three?
Jim, you've inspired me with an idea I shouldn't have needed inspiration for, namely, someone is bound to have done a philosophical analysis of the concept of sentimentality. I'll do a bit of research and see what I come up with. Such analyses aim to clarify a concept and remove confusion; they are often very enlightening.
That's funny you need to come to the group i'm in over at the Excite message boards. There's a guy there called Hyper Pat. He's about 50 and he's been keeping track on index cards for a long time. (great minds...) He has converted his 10 pt scale to Alexlit and is entering his 1000's of ratings slowly. He's more into sci-fi than fantasy and he says in the 60's and 70's when the sci-fi market wasn't as big as it is now he used to read EVERYTHING that came out. As in EVERY sci-fi book that came out. Of course with the number of books coming out now that's pretty impossible for any 5 people.
Now that one will always remind me of the first day of a camping trip and packing to get ready! My dad would actually walk into the garage singing that song.
Yes, Jim, you're totally right. Sentimentality is a tricky thing. I'd say that a movie either gets you or doesn't. When it gets you (and I mean really gets you), then you can listen to hundreds of people saying how much you're wrong, or a cry baby or stuff like that, you like it, it somehow sticks in you. And even when you know that there is a lot of things you'd remark as bad in another movie, you don't notice them, or you just ignore them and get carried away in the sweetnest and charm (I'm talking about "Pleasantville" here now) the movie presented. That's just the way it is, and it should be that way.
Forget about both of them, forget about me, forget about ever seeing "Pleasantville" for the first time. Just enter the video store and ask for the first and last Gary Ross movie. Put it in the bag, don't look at the cover, don't think about what you rented. Just get home, put the tape in the VCR and see this movie for the first time again. Just one little thing... Feel happy before you start to watch it. And just open your eyes for beauty.

i don't think so, rather Flame Sky than the other two
thanx taryn! i'm putting that up there
seems very complete to me, thanx.

I may even consider adding Eddie, but Les Paul and Page no way
sorry, never heard of him
Thanx, but I've thought about this list a lot. King Of Pain would be in my TOP 20 though.
Triple bullseye! Them's the three.
Please do the sf list, I'd be very interested to see it.

Can you play Sultans Of Swing solo? I know a guy who can and he is a helluva player....i think you know him motherfucker
I really don't want to interrupt your list,but I think that you should find a place for Incident At Neshabur
yeah,really,where is Buddy Guy?He is helluva blues guitarist.

What about Sabrina vs. Sabrina? The first was a wonderful movie, but how do you think the remake compared?

I would throw in "Mr. Breeze" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Good list. I probably would have tried to work "King of Pain" in.
This one might be kind of cheesy, but how about Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again"?
Damn! I was gonna say that! :)
How about Kubrick's "Lolita" and Lynne's "Lolita"? Personally, I'd go with Adrian Lynne's version.
