Yes I have it. Not on vinal but on CD(not as pure but still nice) I have not listened to it for quite some time though. It is more of an album to sit and "veg out" to. If you like Pink Floyds older stuff you would love Roger Waters "Amused to Death"(if you dont already have it). Problably one of the greatest albums for lyrics as well as background sounds. Sounds great in a surround type system and loud to get full effects.

Being a slightly educated hillbilly, I listen to mostly country and rock, but we do crank it up some

Imagine a jeep cranking out the Flight of the Valkieries, as a motor bike and quad are chasing around as we go blastin threw the fields and streams in my back woods
Plus any song that requires the conductor to fire of cannons in the theater is allright in my book (War of 1812 oveture)

For Country:
Jimmy Buffet
Bear Bryant
Johnny Cash
Roger Miller
Hank Jr.
Lorie Morgan
Dolly
Linda Ronstad
pretty much all of them, but some of the country that crosses over aint my bag

Rock:
Kiss
Ted Nugent
Damn Yankies
Styx
Rush
Triumph
Ozzy (especially with Randy Rhodes...he was incredible!!)
Blue Oyster Cult (Godzilla Damit! it rules screw you educated arse-holes who demean that song and say they shouldn't do it)
Mountain
John Cougar (especially his earlier stuff)
Sammy Hagar
pretty much rock that is fun, death or depressing stuff isn't all that fun for me

Lately I've been singing the Sponge Bob Square Pants song and some Raffi songs (bumping up and down in my little red wagon) with my kid

Doh! can't believe I left off David Allen Coe from the country list...sheesh, time to sing it! "I'll hang around as long as you will let me..." time for another beer.

im dissapointed in the lack of support for linkin park and incubus

Wolfgir: Thanks for the welcoming! I am pretty new here...I'd been lurking around the W&W board for a little while before I finally decided to start posting...

Moni: Why do you dislike Yo-Yo Ma so much? I really don't know that much about the artist, but what I've heard, I've liked, so I'm just curious....

And seeing some others' favorites has reminded me of some others that I favor:
Loreena McKennitt
Sarah McLachlan
Enya
Fleetwood Mac
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Eric Clapton
Stevie Ray Vaughn

Originally posted by Row Firecam: Did so2 years ago, I live in the same country as that band, they are great, if you get a chance, see them live, its awesome

I'd love to. They're playing live in Oxford with Radiohead and many other good bands soon. Unfortunately I've no chance of going now because it's sold out. I'll just have to wait I guess.

Have you heard their first album 'Von'? I managed to get a copy recently, and thought it was different, but still pretty fantastic.

Does anyone know of any bands like Sigur Ros? because anything close to what they do has got to be brilliant.

I was wondering about those choices brother, but I didn't want to flame.

I got your back man. I love them both, but Incubus is not quite one of my favorites. I think their lyrics are amazing though.

Just 3 for me just now.

Beatles - 3 faves Elenor Rigby,She's Leaving Home&The Long and Winding Road

Steely Dan - With a Gun is possibly the finest "pop" song ever crafted

Beach Boys - post surfing stuff like Holland and Surf's Up

And if you thing that marks me down as an old hippy type, let me tell you I have seen Motorhead live 3 times and lived to tell the tale

P.S. If you ever get the chance to see June Tabor live beg, steal or borrow a ticket
