xp, mostly ok except for missing out two tracks ;_;

ledge, I can't remember what it is, but there's definitely something between Web In Front and Wrong. whatever it is, it's not as good and I always skip it.

I spelt Sawyer wrong

I started trying to do Vee Vee but then I realized that I never really listen beyond "Underdogs of Nipomo"

I started trying to do Vee Vee but then I realized that I never really listen beyond "Underdogs of Nipomo"

what, you miss out on 1985 and Fabricoh? Actually, Nostalgia is the only duff track on that whole disc.

Call Me
Green
Hate My Way
Vicky's Box
Fear
Stand Up
Soul Solidier
Delicate Cutters

(xxpost) Damn, I was trying to remember the tracks to "Station To Station", couldn't, and was just thinking about the track listing of "Here Come The Warm Jets"

another album I love that occasionally sounds Archers-y:

National Hum
Shine a Light
Nighttime/Anytime, It's Alright
Insectivora
Young Lions
Goodbye Baby and Amen
On to You
Poison
Tiger and Crane
Scoundrel Babes
Tank Commander
Subdomestic

Fuck, I forgot Rabbits Dying and America, hopeless.

... and yet again, I mixed up two kinda meh tracks from the latter half of the album (Tiger and Crane <---> Scoundrel Babes)

Anyone going to try Trout Mask Replica?

A Bad Debt Follows You
Two Step Step Out

Gee, it isn't so easy. I think I've switched something.

"I Want the One I Can't Have". That's 2/2 fails for me then.

Man this is so hard, I really thought I did a good job of a) listening to albums all the way through and ii) paying attention to song titles. I keep on writing lists of 9 or 10 songs, going "yeah that looks ok" then finding out there are 14 tracks on the album.

"Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider" – 3:51
"Faberge Falls for Shuggie" – 4:31
"Labyrinthian Pomp" – 3:21
"She's a Rejecter" – 4:02
"We Were Born the Mutants Again with Leafling" – 4:57

missed out faberge and got the name of the last track wrong and the spelling of Kongsvinger wrong, actually quite a few things wrong, but not bad really.

All these 10-12 track albums by British & American artists, or four-track albums by Can, is a piece of piss. 20+ track albums where all the song titles are in Brazilian Portuguese is a proper test.

I can't even do this with albums I'm a huge fan of.

Dreams Never End
Truth
Senses
Chosen Time
ICB

Okay, I did it, but it should have been easier than that. Not gonna try any more.

I definitely can't get it in order but...

Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine

Cloudy
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary + Thyme (Scarborough Fair)
Silent Night
Patterns
Homeward Bound
Dangling Conversation
A Simple Desolutory something or other (the Bob Dylan esque song)

I think that's about right. I'm sure I misspelled some of these.

I am better at doing this with stuff I was into in the 80s already, as nowadays I do so much of my listening in headphones and I often don't quite get the song titles properly. Having another go at Depeche Mode

Something To Do
Lie To Me
People Are People
