TeSlaa Lions WR1 (this week).

This is going to be one of those weeks they burn the tape and try not to look back. Detroit O-line not looking good, pass rush rarely there, team as a whole not really clicking. Lots to fix before game 2. Season starts when Detroit gets a TD or a sack.

Opeth - Heritage I can see why @KarmaPolice might consider this album as a possible in-road for Opeth, or at least some of their music. Or at minimum, why he thought it might vibe with me. Though Opeth has a minor “death metal” reputation, this album is more ethereal. Many of the songs have a...

Well, you know, I wanted to respect the letter of the deal and cover the albums on your Top 70 first. Possibly 'torturing' you with the anticipation is just a bonus. Seriously though, I'll might tackle it tonight but more likely tomorrow.

Aimee Mann - The Forgotten Arm You know, it could have been appropriate for me to have purposely waited ‘til Tuesday to listen to an album from Aimee Mann. Sort of a happy accident then, though Real Life also meant that I didn’t type this up until today. Anyway, I know a little from Mann...

The National - Trouble Will Find Me. This is an album that I might struggle to classify to someone else. You know, if I wanted to give a general impression, because the first four songs all have a different feel for me. I should state that this isn’t a negative for me. If anything, not being...

The Black Keys - Rubber Factory I wasn’t sure from “When the Lights Go Out”, but shortly into “10 A.M. Automatic” I can see why @KarmaPolice thought this would resonate with me. There’s a familiar blues rock vibe in that song and throughout. I’m sure I’ve heard some tunes from The Black Keys...

Yeah, in an Aerosmith deep dive, there would be a temptation for me to skip the 6th through 8th albums. "Dirt" fell victim to my self-imposed limitation of 2 albums (max) per artist. Or for my love of "Jar and Flies" and their Unplugged album.

Dinosaur Jr. - Farm My initial impression was that I’d generally be in for softer vocals in the alternative rock neighborhood, with some strong guitar work behind it. That held up pretty well for “Pieces”, “I Want You to Know”, “Said the People” and most of “I Don’t Wanna Go There”. But I don’t...

Ok, @KarmaPolice and I have hashed some things out. 5 he seems most interested in and (is fairly confident he) hasn't heard: Aerosmith - Get Your Wings Alice Cooper - Love It To Death Genesis - Duke Pretenders - Pretenders Stevie Ray Vaughn - Couldn't Stand the Weather He's said he'll probably...

Sure, I'll do that when I get home from work. Feel free to PM me first and I can look over things My tastes are pretty flexible and the MAD countdowns have brought forth a lot of great new experiences. The hard part for you will be finding albums you haven't already listened to. Worst case I...

Below are the albums I ranked that didn't make the Top 350. Some of these were mentioned by Doc Octopus, but largely I didn't talk about them, so I figure inclusion is fair. 14. Holy Diver - Dio 27. Candlebox - Candlebox 33. Tribute - Ozzy Osbourne 39. Louder than Love - Soundgarden 42. Get...

I'd be down for the 5 album trade. Also thanks to Doc Octopus and kupcho for putting more work into this than I can imagine.

Also, while I'm here and able to be active, I'll state that I'd be good with any of the 11 (that's one better) songs from Ten. Personal suggestions would be "Alive" or "Black" (roughly in that order). For deeper cuts, I'd favor "Garden" or "Release".

26. The Cars – The Cars (614 points) I’ve considered doing The Cars as a M-AD countdown. Mostly the relatively thin catalog (6 albums from 1978 to 1987, plus a reunion album in 2011) stops me. I know there are 31 strong songs in there, though at the same time that’s around half their output...
