Such a great album. I like it better than the Mitchell Froom official release. I probably wouldn't have heard either version if not for your blog. I'm not a big poster but I really enjoy reading Burning Wood. I've been inspired to buy quite a few albums due to your posts. Just wanted to say thanks!Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16964273129840171627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-32299199692501045952017-03-07T14:55:12.465-08:002017-03-07T14:55:12.465-08:00I love movies and books and theater and TV and arg...I love movies and books and theater and TV and arguing politics and sports and more! And yet I love when I come to BurnWood how Sal makes me feel that I am ABSOLUTELY wasting my time if I'm not listening or creating music 24 hours a day, seven days a week. (At least I sing in the shower.) I've always vaguely wondered when I saw that Jerry Lee Lewis live album. Now I know! (And what, is the James Brown Live At The Apollo such a cliche one doesn't even mention it when mentioning the best rock/pop live albums of all time?). Plus more Hall & Oatest (my friend Pete always cites that as their best, too) and more Emmit Rhodes and have I listened to the Sixties work of the Chambers Brothers? Why, no, I haven't. Thank God at least I don't feel completely dumb since I'm on top of the Finns. Homework! Of the best sort.Michael Giltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921048823380535339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-82899440889821788232017-03-07T08:22:48.592-08:002017-03-07T08:22:48.592-08:00Ooh, my turn again. Let me see how much I can pe...Ooh, my turn again. Let me see how much I can perplex Sal with this set (I'll take it easy on you, I'm sure...)<br /><br />31) Aimee Mann - Bachelor No. 2. I wish "Save Me" was on it, of course, but I think it's her strongest set of songs ever released. I keep hoping later albums (which are enjoyable though similar in my mind) will match this but none have as yet.<br /><br />32) The Romantics — The Romantics. Another "because I'm from the Detroit area" pick, I'm sure (my real top 100 would be full of other Alice Cooper albums...) Their catalog is pretty top notch (and I almost slotted "61/49" here, but I think the last two songs weigh it down.) This is an album that defines "energy" for me. It's not as polished as "Get The Knack" for a relatively-concurrently-released debut, but it almost matches that album.<br /><br />33) Todd Rundgren -- The Ballad of Todd Rundgren. Just to get this one out of the way as I mentioned it before. I have just about all Todd and this is the one I play most often. There may be a Utopia album farther down the list if I can decide on *one* Utopia album... Note, Sal, I didn't say "this is the only Todd you need". :-)<br /><br />34) Hedwig and the Angry Inch -- movie soundtrack. Continuing on with my love for rock music soundtracks. I bought this only knowing about it conceptually -- never had seen the movie and only had read about the off-off-broadway musical. But, man, this album rocks, rolls, has laughs, ballads and attitude up the ass. I consider it the "Hamilton" of 2001. And I think I'll spin it again today...<br /><br />35) (cheating here a bit) Guns & Roses -- Use Your Illusion I and II. I consider this a double-album. "Appetite" is in my top-100 and I have no qualms about bringing along these two albums in the second round. Sure -- could they have been whittled down to a killer single CD? Absolutely. But I would have a really hard time cutting 15 of these 30 songs out to do that.<br /><br /><br />FWIW -- I've extended my "second 100" to over 100 albums now, so I'm starting to pick-and-choose from that list -- like how does one choose one of the 4 interchangeable-but-each-worthy Raspberries albums? Or one Ramones album? Impossible considering I'm *really* trying to avoid Greatest Hits collections (except where absolutely necessary...)<br />Shrinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908213967283171538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-2772378880268586382017-03-07T06:53:45.614-08:002017-03-07T06:53:45.614-08:00Don't forget The Chambers Bros.

(I know, Havens was great, but he was always the same, strumming 1000 times a song in open tuning, and he's easier to appreciate now.) I have the 45 of Time Has Come Today. Great live band - brothers! Anyway, you said such great things about the live Jerry Lee I just found one - a Bear Family reissue. I'm psyched.
