A lot of the charm of It's for You, imho anyway, is the old home week quality of the commentary and banter between the songs. There are also some eclectic things from out on the nice side of left field on there.

I concur 100% on this assessment! |
I agree too. Even though that album is live it has more volume/excitement than many other albums. I just think it's a lot of fun and I love that album. Plus it has many of the "classics" of the 77's like Do It For Love and The Lust.

You know, I'd call that a pretty productive decade.

Compare that list with other bands that released material throughout the decade, like U2:
All That You Can't Leave Behind
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
No Line on the Horizon

They were spending the rest of their time counting cash, no doubt.

Crows sure got the shaft. I think "U R Trippin", "Mr. Magoo", "There Forever", and "Mean Green Season" are all pretty good songs.

oh gosh - I'm a little late to this party. Didn't even see this poll until now... I'm gonna put in my vote for either Fun with Sound or Holy Ghost Building - I'm having a hard time deciding.
P.S. The fart doesn't count as a release. Well it is some kind of release but maybe not a musical one...

Surprised so many voted for Fun With Sound or It's For You. I never get any comments on those, good or bad. It's always about Say Your Prayers.
I should have vorted for Happy Chrimbo. It's unfinished but I'm particularly proud of that one, mostly 'cuz we did it lightening fast like the Lost Dogs do. Consequently, it always sounds fresh and immediate to me rather than labored over. I always have bad feelings towards labored over albums even if I like them. I remember the work and the striving and only hear the mistakes and failings. This seems to be a universal thing amongst recording artists. I wish we had the balls to go back to the 50's (and earlier) method of recording, which was live in the studio. Elvis started the thing of doing endless takes to perfect a master so I can blame him I guess. |
Like John Lennon said in an interview just before his death, that he cannot listen to any of the Beatles stuff, he just heard what parts he wanted to fix.

Guess I'll have to get a copy of Fun With Sound and listen to it. I've still never heard it.

Where's Mutt and Green Room Serenade Part Tour? I think some others have gone missing as well, not to mention all the albums I produced and played on. A few of those are still unavailable, but I am working to get them out there for everyone to hear.
Go to www.lisaphenix.com and get her Songflower Girl album, for starters. I produced, played, sang and the 77s are the only band for the entire album. It's a must for collectors and a great album.
There are others I produced and played on for Green Bracelet and Johnny Reliable. Looking to hunt down some boxes of the latter to sell in the webstore (it's a million times better than the first one I did for them ages ago) and trying to find a way to get download links to the former (they are too broke to even press the album up!)
