gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 05/09/2026@sotoalfred.bsky.social Thoughts on this Neil Young live album. Christgau gave it an A+. Marcus say he “made a bad album.” I would have to agree with Marcus here. And if Christgau had given it an A-, I probably wouldn’t even be asking. 100

gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Older sis bought me the Book of Rock Lists for my 11th birthday. And I became obsessed with finding every song/album mentioned. When HoR&S came out when I was in college, same thing… many years later I finally heard Joyce Harris’s No Way Out.. and yelped. Life changing books for me. RIP. 010

gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 24/07/2026@chuckdpe.bsky.social @questlove.bsky.social Does a version of JB’s “I Got the Feelin’” exist that is longer than the 3:05 version on the Foundations comp? Considering full-length versions of other classics exist that are twice that duration (and more!), it seems odd. Figured you guys might know. 000
gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Great list. This pretty much covers it, ranking aside. Renoir’s exquisite short film, A Day in the Country. Was shot in the 30s but not released until the 40s. Are you considering this a 30s film, or maybe it doesn’t make your list.. or.. I missed it! 120
gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 09/07/2026@sotoalfred.bsky.social Seems that most every news organization had forgotten that Tyler’s “It’s A Heartache” was also a huge hit, peaking at #3 in the US in the summer of ‘78. 010

gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Great list. Is Carly Pearce’s original 7-song version of 29 considered an EP or a proper album? That might sneak into the lower part of any list I would make 100
gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 17/06/2026“The Cure” gives Mellon Collie vibes. It’s also 100 times better than anything Corgan has done, IMO 000

gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Gladys’s “Grapevine” continues to amaze. Where Marvin’s radiates pain inward, Gladys sounds like she’s out for blood. Also: one of Jamerson’s finest moments. 000
gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Indeed. In the same way “Ugly Truth Rock” makes you feel your exact age every time you hear it 040
gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Some days “Not Dark Yet, version 2” from the Fragments Bootleg Series sounds better than the released version 010
gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Save for a few scattered singles and duets, he hasn’t put out an album since 2005, when he was in his mid 50s. And even the stretch from Musiquarium to 2005 (over 20 years) was not all that memorable. His rocket burned as bright as humanly possible from age 15 to 30, though. What a gift to humankind 000

gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Love this list. I often think of long songs that don’t “feel” long. 111
gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Transforming “St. James Infirmary” in a genius act of love and theft. 020
gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 13/04/2026“Georgia Boy” is nearly as long and sustains. I only discovered it years ago when Lou Reed mentioned it in an interview. Led me to the album and I’ve been grateful for that ever since. Happy Birthday, Mr. Green! 021
gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Reed thought that lead guitar and sax interplay was a great idea. He saw the magic in those tapes, man, and he got them to the record company 000
gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Hearing the spoken word stuff on the radio as a kid was a unique thing. Has there been anything else like that before or since? Trying to recall 100

gfu3.bsky.social @gfu3.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Giving you fair warning. That’s a “Mean Street.” One street. Not streets. It’s their home. And it’s the only one they know. 010
