"The Donnas Turn 21"

I can totally see this.

Rain Dogs

― Al (sitcom), Saturday, 20 December 2003 08:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Good call.

Tonight, all I've listened to is Whitesnake's Slide it In (and realized for the first time it's very much an AC/DC homage and that "Slow and Easy" is total Highway to Hell style disco-metal), and Traffic's "Light Up or Leave Me Alone" on repeat for about the 6th time now..... I'm sure I'll regret it in the morning

Tommy James- I think We're Alone Now

― Speedy Gonzalas (Speedy Gonzalas), Saturday, 20 December 2003 08:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Impossible. That song just begs for sober listening love.

― may pang (maypang), Saturday, 20 December 2003 08:32 (twenty-one years ago)

ELO - "Don't Walk Away", where've you BEEN ALL MY LIFE?

― may pang (maypang), Saturday, 20 December 2003 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I bought a Felix Da Housecat disc based solely on having heard it at a friend's house (drooooonk) and thinking to m'self "Thissh issh really goodishhh!") Bought it at the next opportunity, played it and cannot recall why I though it was so excellent.

Oasis to thread!

From a personal experience (of a quarter-century ago):
Smokie, Montreaux Album & Abba, The Album

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 20 December 2003 14:47 (twenty-one years ago)

The first time I listened to the Atari Teenage Riot's Burn Berlin Burn was at the tail-end of a two-day bender and I was pretty messed up. I thought it was brilliant.
Two days later, and sober, I listened to the album again and realized it wasn't brilliant. In fact, it hurt my head like the barking of 100 dogs.

― Christian Rawk (Christian Rawk), Saturday, 20 December 2003 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Anything by REO Speedwagon.

Or The Strokes.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Saturday, 20 December 2003 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I like AlexNyc the best. Your're cool. Get a plain ticket to SF and let's hang out.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 20 December 2003 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Lot's of house records need a licquor license to be heard well.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 20 December 2003 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Broheems might regret posting that FOREVER.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 20 December 2003 21:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, Alex has pointed to a real problem here. We have a Felix Da Housecat mix CD which will never be played again. And yet, it sounded great when I first heard it (drunk). Perhaps Da Housecat himself is drunk when he makes these records. No wonder they are used to advertise beer.

Master of Puppets - Metallica

― o. nate (onate), Saturday, 20 December 2003 21:18 (twenty-one years ago)

anything by the Replacements, but especially the one with "Here Comes a Regular" on it.

Oh and "Piano Man" by Billy Joel, obviously. But that's a song, not an album. "AND THE PIAANNNOO SOUNDS LIKE A CAR-NI-VAL!!!!!!!!"

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Saturday, 20 December 2003 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Regggggaeton.

Anything by Andrew WK.
25 Suaves "1938"

Jay Kid OTM : Oasis.
May Pang : are you nuts? The earlier in the morning you play 'Immigrant Song' the better it sounds.

― Berkeley Sackett (calstars), Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I am drunk and in love with Fairport Convention!!!!!!!

― Ian Johnson (orion), Sunday, 21 December 2003 06:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Ian - you have made a wise choice! (two wise choices, in fact!)

― Broheems (diamond), Sunday, 21 December 2003 09:36 (twenty-one years ago)

With a lot of older hits like Men at Work, Berlin, etc. -- stuff you'd get on your average college file-sharing network -- it's easy when you're drunk to forget about the complicatedness of your relationship with nostaligia and just soak up the tunes.

― Clarke B., Monday, 22 December 2003 06:00 (twenty-one years ago)

fairport sound great undrunk!

― gaz (gaz), Monday, 22 December 2003 06:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i feel like my mom when i'm sober and listening to them though, gaz. and feeling like my mom... is not kosher.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Monday, 22 December 2003 06:11 (twenty-one years ago)

May Pang : are you nuts? The earlier in the morning you play 'Immigrant Song' the better it sounds.

There's such a fine line between early in the morning and late into the night.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Monday, 22 December 2003 06:20 (twenty-one years ago)

The first time I heard Jamiroquai, I was drunk at a party, and I thought it was GREBT! And I still think it's good, provided you're drunk at a party. Take either of those ingredients away, and it's pretty boring.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 22 December 2003 06:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I should probably add that if anyone ever asks me if I like Led Zeppelin I usually reply by saying "I don't mind Immigrant song."

― may pang (maypang), Monday, 22 December 2003 06:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I say, "Led Zeppelin III is my favorite," and meter their reaction.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 22 December 2003 06:32 (twenty-one years ago)

The Prodigy, "The Fat of the Land"

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 22 December 2003 12:54 (twenty-one years ago)

The Wedding Present
