I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
I totally meant to post this last night, but I didn’t have time. So, I thought I’d take a moment now to point out that Zagat is releasing a new survey: The top 1000 albums of all time. This has sparked not a little debate in our house, as Kevin contends that Achtung Baby is a better album than The Joshua Tree (which ranked higher in the Top 10). Of course, my pick is The Joshua Tree, for several reasons, not the least of which being that it was the first concert I ever attended, and B.B. King played with them. Besides, Larry Mullins had a much cuter ass when he was younger.
All of that aside, I would like to offer this commentary to the folks (over 10,000) who participated in the Zagat survey: Only one Pink Floyd album? AND NO ZEPPELIN?!?!?!? No Eagles?!?!?!? And—horror—no Don Henley??? Okay, that last one may be a little far-fetched. Four Beatles albums? I have to hand it to them, though. Born To Run was far and away the number one, and I think that’s a pretty good call.
So, if it were up to you, what would your number one album of all time be?

I like pre Joshua Tree U2. Unforgettable Fire is my favorite.
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire, time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
I couldn’t find the survey at Zagats. But my brain is fried, so no surprises.
I gotta think about what my #1 album would be. That’s a tough one.

Oh, i forgot to make a Boss comment. You think C doesn’t like JB, she hates the Boss. Just more fodder for ya.
