Faith No More's finest album.

[-Kel-]

I can't decide on albums, or even songs, that make my top 10 list, so here is the first ten songs on the CD I just burned:


7. Cotton Eye Joe 2002 - Rednex

[AFK]

Faith No More's finest album.

I would go so far as to say one of the finest rock albums ever.  What's amazing about that album is how they can do a country-western style crooning song like "RV" and a sludgy, Sabbathy metal song like "Jizzlober" and be 100% convincing with both.  They're all pretty much musical geniuses in my boat, but only really excel when they are all together.

I certainly agree that it is a very good album.  Hell, it's better than 98% of what was being put out by rock bands at the time.  I feel Angel Dust is a more complete album however.  I feel like King for a Day has 2 or 3 filler songs.  They're okay, but not really captivating.  On Angel Dust the only song that comes close to filler status for me is "A Small Victory".  Also, King for a Day was rather weak on keyboards and from what I've read it was one of the albums that had the least amount of input from Roddy Bottum.  To me, he is really the glue for that band.  You take the keys away, and you still have some interesting rock and roll, but, it just doesn't have that extra je ne sais quois the other stuff has. 

Also, also, I'm a big Jim Martin fan. Huge mistake kicking him out of the band.  I'm sure he was an insufferable prick, but, fuck, so is Mike Patton.

Your taste in music is SHIT.

Since I only had ten, I tried to stay within a certain time frame, about 10-20 year span.  I could do one of these for every decade starting from the 60s... 

[East Coast Hustle]

you know, before you posted that and knowing next to nothing about you, I'd have bet a whole lot of money that you were a Jesus Lizard fan.

also, props for Big Black (that's one that could make my list on any given day) and Skinny Puppy (though I always preferred Rabies).
