my top 73 albums...
 
Okay, mark prindle is having a survey on his website where you send in your top 73 albums of all time..

http://www.markprindle.com/survey.htm

I always participate in his surveys (and if you haven't checked out his site, shame on you, he's hilarious!) and I figured I'd post my top 73 that I sent in... I know 73 seems like a lot, but I am kinda upset about all the albums I want to mention but couldn't. So yeah, for the curious and if you have a list, by all means post!

Oh, and because of the rules for this survey, your favorite album is actually "73", your second favorite "72" and so on... because your favorite album, he will give 73 points to, for example. It's weird, I guess, but read the link if you want.

Mark Prindle blows goats.

noumenal 01.28.2007 04:53 PM

Mark Prindle is funny. I often laugh at his reviews, but I don't think he is a very good rock critic. When I disagree with him, he never makes me second-guess my own opinion, and I think that is important. He also doesn't seem to be able to look past surface stylistic features of music. It's shallow, emotivist bleh -- with jokes. Even when I agree with a review, it's usually for completely different reasons from his. For example, I like Yo La Tengo and I love their album I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, but look at his review (a perfect rating), he can't get past the different "styles" of the tracks:

"
Check this out! I just got an email from Cannibal H. Icebergs giving me this really terrific deal on Replica Watches! I mean, this guy has EVERYTHING - Louis Vuitton, Chronoswiss, Vacheron Constantin, you name it! Hell, Cannibal even has GIFT BOXES available! If you're interested, be sure and check out http://c7zmh2znz5iqtcuszucszcuu.nigrouskg.com/. But hurry -- with a catchy URL like that, Mr. Icebergs' Replica Watches are inevitably FLYING off the shelf!!!
Hoo boy. Okay. How does one succinctly sum up an album where none of the songs sound the least bit alike?
Wait, I've got it!!!!
"Return To Hot Chicken" - Lovely peaceful electric guitar INSTRUMENTAL INTRO
"Moby Octopad" - Beat-tastic STEREOLABBY DANCE TRACK built around the bass line from The Velvet Underground's "European Son" (the same bass line that Kevin Rutmanis usurped for The Cows' "A Oven"!)
"Sugarcube" - Wonderful FUZZY BUBBLEGUM POP
"Damage" - Moody RELAXING DRONE piece highlighted by a wash of mystical space noise most likely created by Ira tapping his fingers against the back of a guitar neck for the song's entirety
"Deeper Into Movies" - Catchy pop vocal melody buried under incredibly loud chiming distorted guitars (or "SONIC YOUTH IN 1966")
"Shadows" - Slow Georgia-sung VU BALLAD with surprisingly clever, counterintuitive chord changes (and trumpet solo!)
"Stockholm Syndrome" - The band's bassist makes his vocal debut with an FM COUNTRY ROCK song so atrocious that I seriously thought somebody had accidentally mastered an Eagles B-side into the middle of the disc. God, it's SO FUCKING BAD!!! Yet, every time I hear it, I find its unbelievable shittiness ever more appealing. Jesus, did this guy think he was playing in an America reunion or something?!
"Autumn Sweater" - Huge rap drums and an excellent descending EARLY-PINK-FLOYDY ORGAN HOOK are the centerpiece of this wonderfully cool, artistic single
"Little Honda" - Gigantic distorted guitars and under-excited vocals somehow work in this BEACH BOYS COVER
"Green Arrow" - Very quiet and meditative SLIDE GUITAR DESERT INSTRUMENTAL
"One PM Again" - Generic ACOUSTIC FOLK STRUMMER and (aside from the so-bad-it's-great "Stockholm Syndrome") the only track that doesn't deserve to be on this magnificent album. Couldn't they have put this piece of crap on Electr-O-Pura where its lack of quality belongs?
"The Lie And How We Told It" - MESMERIZING AURAL SUNSHOWER of reverbed guitar notes and beautiful harmony vocals
"Center Of Gravity" - BRAZILIAN BACHELOR PAD LOUNGE music with the appropriate acoustic guitar rhythm and lots of "Ba-da-ba!" vocals
"Spec Bebop" - BLISTERING OVERMODULATED CANDY-COLORED ORGAN SOLO EPIC
"We're An American Band" - Loud effect-soaked guitars join light jazzy drums and gorgeously melancholy harmony vocals for a unique experience akin to a MY BLOODY VALENTINE/THE ASSOCIATION JAM SESSION
"My Little Corner Of The World" - Adorable Georgia-sung uptempo acoustic strummer that sounds like CHILDREN'S MUSIC or LESLEY GORE UNPLUGGED or something!
There you go! A pithy, concise statement that boils down the entire I Can Feel The Heart Beating As One experience into a compact 240+ words. Or hell, a mere 57 words if you just speed-read the bold, capitalized descriptors like I asked you to (in a separate document). Yes, many people can't believe what a skillful wordsmanship captain I am, magically weaving my web of summarizing breviloquence around even the vastest of worldwide topics. But then they see me in action, as now, and they can't help but say things like "Man! Talk about compendiary!" and "Man! Talk about compendious!" But we can't all be like me and that's a skill we all have to learn: the art of brevity, levity and longevity.
No but serious now, this album surpasses all other YLT efforts for one simple reason: BETTER SONGS. Its diversity - though impressive - wouldn't mean diddlychickens without strong, smart melodies to back it up, and for some reason these guys/girl were ON in this particular year. I mean COMPLETELY-ass on. Sure, "Stockholm Syndrome" would only be a masterpiece if intended as a joke, and "One PM Again" doesn't have much going for it except its short length, but that still leaves 14 of the catchiest and most original/least derivative compositions of the band's entire career -- all on a single CD. A single CD made of polycarbonate plastic. A single CD made of polycarbonate plastic coated with a thin layer of Super Purity Aluminum and a film of lacquer, in which CD data is stored as a series of tiny indentations encoded in a tightly packed spiral track of pits molded into the top of the polycarbonate layer, which upon contact with the player's laserbeam read-head unleashes a miniature (or "clone") version of all three members of Yo La Tengo, who then sit inside your stereo and play songs for you.
Now that they've finally reached maturity as a band, they've got nowhere to go but up! This is just the beginning of what promises to be the greatest run of artistic successes in rock and roll history!"

noumenal 01.28.2007 04:59 PM

It's all just descriptive paraphrasing of the music spiced with adjectives expressing his opinion like catchy, original, gorgeous, excellent, and wonderful. PLUS, he doesn't like Stockholm Syndrome, which (some of you may remember) I liked enough to record myself doing a cover. BTW, if someone still has that, send it to me. I lost it when my hard drive crashed.

Iain 01.28.2007 05:57 PM

Yep...I'm really not a fan of his writing either.

pantophobia 01.28.2007 06:00 PM

the only thing worse then Prindle, is the people who spend time replying to his reviews, the SY page is rather horrendous, and i mean some really nasty comments and opinions

Toilet & Bowels 01.28.2007 06:25 PM

some of the interviews on his site are quite good, but yeah, idiotic record reviews.

porkmarras 01.28.2007 06:34 PM

Making lists of favourite albums is for the ultimate frustrated musician who would dearly kill a fellow being to be able to play good music or a music instrument.It's the vulgarity of our time and the scariest thing about it is that to a lot of folks it seems like anything but.An Anglo-Saxon malaise if you ask me.

Phlegmscope 01.28.2007 06:52 PM

I used to like prindle's writings more I suppose. Occasionally his reviews are just filled with some unrelated and nonsensical garbage that is supposed to be funny, but instead it's just tiresome to read all that. Maybe he's just imprisoned by his style of writing and can't come up with anything else.
Or he does that because he has a large fan base and he can get away with it. Most of the time he's good read though...

Oh, I can't even remember the album titles of many of the records I own, listing them would be ridiculous. Plus I don't think you're really entitled to list top 73 albums if you only own around 330 of them. 330 means quite narrow variety of music.

porkmarras 01.28.2007 06:54 PM

Geek.

Katy 01.28.2007 08:28 PM

No idea who this guy is, but I sent him a 73 list anyway.

I gave it very little thought and my "top five" (73-69) had a very heavy Iggy bias.

I think I forgot the Pixies and SY entirely. Blasphemy...

atsonicpark 01.28.2007 08:44 PM

Haha I love his style of writing. It's fresh. And with really great albums, he really does give the album justice (see: sex pistols review for a quick example). And strangely... he's actually funny and very knowledgable of music.

sun city girl 01.29.2007 06:53 AM

yeah i think he's writings are mostly funny, but then he doesn't have a clue about bands like velvet underground... i think his reviews of the smiths were really great though (and i'm a big smiths fan).

Clear Spot and The Spotlight Kid over Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller), Ice Cream For Crow and Doc at the Radar Station?!?!?!

I would do this list but I don't think I'd ever be able to finish it.

yeah, weird i know but... those albums just rule despite being rather mainstream...

if this would have been top-113 or something i'm sure both shiny beast and doc would have made it. and maybe the reason i'm including spotlight kid is that it's on the same cd as clear spot...
