You want playlist landmines? I give you playlist landmines. I have to have this and I have no idea  if anyone else might take it but I can’t be too careful. This album really opened up a whole new genre of music for me and I can’t unhear it. Maybe my favorite guitar album. 
 

16.3x ####ed Up - David Comes to Life (2011)

I’ll post songs later if we decide stuff like this can really go on the playlist.

Thanks, man. I found this draft at the right time and you guys are hitting it out of the park with some of these picks. I may add some undrafted free agents at the end or if someone drops out maybe I will be an obtrusive guest and ask to take their place. Truly have enjoyed following the thread and the shuffle tho

I feel like that album rocks a bit more than her subsequent, and also very good albums. I prefer the more rocking songs and love this album, so was bummed this got taken.

17.05 Abraxas, Santana (1970)

For bonfire dancing on the beach. One of the wisest things i ever did was, as a runaway, to make my winter base of operations the scorekeepers booth of a municipal ballpark in downtown Monterrey. There was a theater on the way to the major thoroughfare where i went to beg my food money. Turns out the theater was a rehearsal hall for a lot of prominent Bay area bands, Santana included. For hours would i sit by the stage doors listening to them rehearse this for performance. Pure bliss.

I wish Singing Winds, Crying Beast was alloted as the lead-in for Black Magic Woman, for it is as much a part of it as Foreplay/Long Time.

Was on my short "obligated to pick" list, along with Parliament/Funkadelic, ad along with the most popular album of all-time.

Hot damn, another obvious choice I never even considered. Wore this album out and don't recall there being a bad song on it.

My folks told me he used to play before he got big in a little park in Sausalito where all the hippies hung out (so much that the city closed the park, just to try to get the hippies to move on- they were sleeping there and bathing in a little fountain). I've never seen that mentioned in his bios, so not sure if that's true.

I was thinking of this one the other day and wondering when it would be picked. Surprised it was still hanging out there

Jeff Koons?

Got any stories?
Click to expand...
Nope.

I do have stories, but they're all pretty innocuous. He worked in a particular club in NYC that was famous for being a drag club, replete with drag shows and hip bachelorette parties. We did a mess of cocaine when they tried to open out a club/franchise out in Vegas and I was there. I had a transgendered person lolling naked in my comped hotel room while we did line after line of blow. It was a little surreal, but much better than the cat piss filth they were living in by the strip. Not glamorous, as it were.  Does that suffice as as story? Oh, I almost got in a fight with the dealers/proprietors of the bar who would give you cocaine in matchbooks if you asked for matches and slipped them eighty bucks. That's about as wild as it got. I won five grand one night, lost eight grand the next.

Good times. 

 
17.08 One Nation Under A Groove - Funkadelic (1978)

I'm gonna blow Smith Island off of whatever rock it's tied to. There's not a dud to be found on this LP. The title song is a classic, no matter how badly RHCP butchered it. Again, I'll spare the playlist the longer songs.

"Lunchmeataphobia" Hey, gee-tar fans! Want riffage? Turn this sucker up and take out extra insurance on the foundations of your house. 

"Maggot Brain (Live") I think this is Mike Hampton and not Eddie Hazel (who was "on a break"), but I kinda like it better than the original.

Not sure how this one will go over, but I need to have some Maiden on my island.   Probably not the one or two left available that people would take first, but in my old age this has become my most listened to.   Speaking of concept albums a bit ago...

Lucky Cheng's, which should be right down your way

Thought so. Literally around the corner. Worst Chinese food in the city...which you don't notice until your 2nd or 20th time there. Was a fun place, even when it ultimately went the way of bachelorette parties for the b&t crowd.

You'll never guess what it's going to be next?!

Right. Luxury condos.
