I don't NEED to make a comparison. I can say Imagination was a "Phooey," WITHOUT awkwardly straining to draw some parallel with a band that preoccupies me. There are a lot of critics (and fans) who think that making band comparisons is THE laziest form of music criticism, you know. Saying Brian's comeback was a Phooey represents an observation and opinion. Adding that Brian's comeback was a Phooey -- just like the Monkees' last album -- adds no further substance to that observation. Face it, Terrence, you constantly find ways to bring up the Monkees, completely out of proportion to their influence and importance. You even compared Neutral Milk Hotel to the Monkees. It doesn't speak well for the frame of reference you use, when assessing music. Using Peter Tork as a yardstick for measuring songwriters makes you suspect, to say the least. FYI: The most striking difference here is that the Monkees were never a highly respected band to begin with, while Wilson is regarded one of the all-time seminal figures in pop. So the stakes are much higher for a Wilson comeback than a Monkees one. Now I know that YOU regard the Monkees as one of the best bands ever, but just be aware that no one else believes this beyond (quote) "a small group of fans." Another big difference is that Brian never let himself be turned into a pathetic fairground attraction, like the Monkees did. He told the current version of the Beach Boys bye-bye. If you insist, HERE is a comparison for you, which makes more sense: I think Flaming Pie is a much better album than Imagination. And I'm the furthest thing from a McCartney apologist. And I DO like Brian's self-titled album more than Flaming Pie. All right? >> >Recommendation of yesterday: Donovan's "Gift from a Flower to a Garden". >> >> > >Not *my* fault that they aren't selling "In an aeroplane over the sea" >anywhere in Gainesville. You wouldn't like it anyway.

Well, it's credited to The Soft Boys on the BIBLE OF BOP album. I admit it's kind of weird to decide what constitutes "The Soft Boys", as opposed to "The Egyptians" or "backed by Robyn, Morris and/or Andy." Good chunks of BLACK SNAKE are the Soft Boys, and I think it's safe to call "Zipper In My Spine" a Soft Boys song despite its having been written by Robyn in 1993.

You win. _Moss Elixir_ was such a tremendous return to form that I wouldn't mind if Robyn decides to take four years for his next album. I know a lot of people here would have liked to have _Surfer Ghost_, but I think there's a lot to be said for putting together a large and varied repertoire of possible tracks before recording your next disc. I don't think _SG_ would have been as good as _ME_, and I don't think _ME_ would have been as good if it hadn't had the best unreleased _SG_ tracks to draw on. - - David Librik ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Aug 1998 22:42:45 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Re: Been a Long Time KarmaFuzzz@aol.com wrote: >>incidentally, can anyone here think of a truly good album that was more that >>2-3 years after the artists previous album?

I think you kinda have to rule out cases where the members of the band were doing other projects between albums. Like I would rule out King Crimson, due to Fripp's steady stream of solo work. Here are some examples I came up with, where the followup album after a four-plus year break generally maintained quality (and sometimes was even better): Richard Hell & The Voidoids: Blank Generation (1977)/Destiny Street (1982) Robert Wyatt (multiple gaps): Ruth is Stranger Than Richard (1975)/Nothing Can Stop Us (1981), The Animals (1982)/Old Rottenhat (1986)/Dondestan (1991)/Shleep (1997) Suzanne Vega: 99.9 F (1992)/Nine Objects of Desire (1996) The Blue Nile (multiple gaps): A Walk Across the Rooftops (1983)/Hats (1989)/Peace at Last (1996) Buzzcocks: A Different Kind of Tension (1979)/Trade Test Transmissions (1993) [if you thought Trade Test Transmissions was garbage, then delete this one] The dBs: The Sound of Music (1987)/Paris Avenue (1994) Dickies: Dawn of the Dickies (1979)/Stukas Over Disneyland (1983), Second Coming (1989)/Idjit Savant (1995) Billy Bragg: Don't Try This at Home (1991)/William Blake (1996) Feelies: Crazy Rhythms (1980)/The Good Earth (1986) The Raincoats: Moving (1984)/Looking in the Shadows (1996) The Sundays: Blind (1992)/Static & Silence (1997) [heck, I liked this album a *lot* myself, and far more than Blind] Ambitious Lovers: Envy (1984)/Greed (1988) Victoria Williams: Swing the Statue (1990)/Loose (1994) Patti Smith: Dream of Life (1988)/Gone Again (1996) Pink Floyd: The Wall (1979)/The Final Cut (1983) [I'm sure some would argue otherwise] Cindy Lee Berryhill: Naked Movie Star (1989)/Garage Orchestra (1994) Brian Eno: Thursday Afternoon (1985)/Nerve Net and The Shutov Assembly (1992) [or insert the 1990 Eno/Cale album if you like, instead] Marianne Faithfull/A Child's Adventure in Time (1983)/Strange Weather (1987) Jane Siberry: Bound by the Beauty (1989)/When I Was a Boy (1993) Killdozer: For Ladies Only (1989)/Uncompromising War of the Proletariat... (1994) Redd Kross: Phaseshifter (1993)/Show World (1997) Michael Penn: Free-For-All (1992)/Resigned (1997) Gang of Four: Hard (1983)/Mall (1991) [I guess a lot of folks thought Mall sucked, but I didn't] Michael Brook (hi Jason): Captive soundtrack (1987)/Cobalt Blue (1992) And my best examples: Nine Inch Nails: Pretty Hate Machine (1989)/The Downward Spiral (1994) John Lennon: Rock & Roll (1975)/Double Fantasy (1980) Then there are the folks whom we've been waiting on for awhile, who MAY fit this category: NIN, My Bloody Valentine, Tom Waits, Peter Gabriel, Hole and XTC.
