great stuff, I own like a dozen of these, and considering i only own like 20 cds thats pretty good... personally i prefer the naked cut of let it be, but that's just me.

CaptMal01/03/2007

Thanks! :-D

I'm not exactly a musical expert, I've just recently been branching out in my tastes, so I probably still have a lot left to find.

And, to be fair, I've only heard the naked cut of Let It Be once, as opposed to the zillions of times I've listened to the original, so one day I should probably sit down and listen to them back-to-back for a good comparison.

grandpa_chum01/07/2007

yeah, i'm the opposite on the let it be, i only listened to the original after i loved the naked one for years

AfterHours06/20/2007

So then, what is your favorite band? ( :

CaptMal06/21/2007

Chicago. ;-)

Yeah, yeah, I know my list is cluttered with Beatles, but...I like what I like, and...hey, gotta be true to yourself, right?

AfterHours07/12/2007

Of course!

And I can understand why you love the Beatles. They can be totally irresistable. They used to be my favorite band bar none.

CaptMal07/12/2007

Plus, of course, it helps that I've listened to 43 different albums (counting, of course, the many compilations and bootlegs) by them, which vastly outweighs the number of albums I've listened to by other folks...

AfterHours07/12/2007

Yea, that would contribute, no doubt.

Ever tried Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea? Best "pop" album ever in my opinion. It is only technically a pop album. It is significantly more emotional, singular, lyrical, personal and profound than practically any other pop album. I highly recommend it to you.

CaptMal07/13/2007

I have actually looked for that at my library before, and they didn't have it. I'll probably download it at some point, seeing as I'm a member of OiNK.

CaptMal07/16/2007

Well, I downloaded it and listened to it. Excellent album, though I wouldn't call it the best "pop" album. Still, loved it and plan on listening to it on many future occasions...

AfterHours07/17/2007

I'm glad you've checked it out and enjoyed it.
