Say Your Prayers first, with a horse race between Daydream, Orbis, It's for You, and Happy Chrimbo depending on my mood (and the time of year, presumably).

I don't suppose that we can count singing in the car, either, huh?

The right answer, by the way, is Fun With Sound...for those of you looking for direction.

Singing in the shower might be appropriate after that incident, although it might be TMI for the poll.
....TMI for THIS Poll, anyway.

I voted for Fun With Sound, not because Kit said so, just because it's a great fucking album.

You should change it to check boxes and say "pick your favorite 3". There's not enough board activity for 15 options.

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. |
Well, I will confess that I was one of the "FWS" votards. I dig the layers of audio texture in that recording.
Of all my Christmas related discs, Chrimbo is towards the top of the heap.

Happy Chrimbo is, hands down, the best Christmas album ever.

Well on this poll I voted for 99. Yes Kit, you do need 99! It might change your vote. As for Happy Chrimbo, I absolutely hate Christmas Music but this album was different for me and don't mind putting it on but NEVER before Thanksgiving!

I just realized my copy of Daydream has 1999 on it. oh well.
On a somewhat related note, I also bought Gift Horse in 1999. The reason why I remember this was because I bought it in late December 1999 but I noticed that it had the year 2000 on it. It was the first CD I ever saw with a post-90s date.

I concur 100% on this assessment!
