I just finished one of those ridiculous but entertaining little do-dads on Facebook, one that asks what you think consider are the five 'best' albums. By 'best' I assume they meant 'favorite', as I'm sure there's some obscure Flemish recording of farts and xylophones that meets the critics notion of 'perfection'.
Now, as God himself would acknowledge, music came close to dying the day Courtney pulled the trigger on Kurt, just as it was only truly born when Flannel came to Seattle. My list reflects those facts.
My choices: Pearl Jam's Ten, Nirvana's Bleach (eh, coulda gone with Nevermind), Garth Brooks Double Live, a best-of Artie Shaw, and the great Singles soundtrack.
BUT . . that doesn't mean I can't dig a great dance tune.
Question: How do you annoy Lady Gaga? Pokerface. How do you make her happy? Just dance.
Eh, you'll get it in a minute. Here's two of her songs, Pokerface (and baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun) and Just Dance.
Enjoy!

No New Kids?????
ReplyDeleteOkay, are you going to hate me if I admit I cannot stand Lady Gaga's music?
Everytime I hear it, my hair stands on end and I cringe.
But Pearl Jam? Hellz yea!
XOXO
Bridgett - Ah, but there is a closet NKOTB reference. To quote Wikipedia:
ReplyDeleteGaga going on her first ever concert tour with fellow Interscope pop group, the reformed New Kids on the Block. Gaga started her stint with New Kids on the Block in Los Angeles on October 8, 2008, and continued through the end of November. She appeared as a featured guest on the song "Big Girl Now" from their new album, The Block.
Interesting!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea.
Thanks for the info, D.
I'd make a TERRIBLE teen, I HATE most of today's music!!! Lady Gaga is NO EXCEPTION!!
