In Snake's Collection:
Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water - Limp Bizkit
Surprised right? I actually got this album from a friend when we traded music. This album can really go either way when you look at it. Some people truly hate it and others love it, obviously since it made this book. My experience has been kind of surprising with this album. Not long ago I was trying to clean up some of my music that was listed on my computer. So, I gave this a listen to see if I wanted to keep it or not. And some how it is still on my Ipod. I would say there are some surprises here. It isn't all the rap metal they started with; there is some growth on this album. Wes Borland plays some very interesting and adventurous guitar on the entire album. Especially as a period piece, I would agree that this belonged in the book. Am I gonna listen to it alot? Probably not.
Close To The Edge - Yes
I put this album together for myself off of Napster, back when you could do that. (I know, the music industry will be knocking on my door now with the cops) It is a hard album to get into unless you are really interested in the deep long story songs. There are only 3 songs on the whole thing, although they are broken down into sub-tracks. I like the song 'And You And I' but the title track usually bores me out when I listen to it. I would prefer other Yes music.
The Good
Chicago Transit Authority - Chicago
It takes some balls I think to come out with a double album for your debut. I don't recognize any of the song names but maybe I have heard them before.
The Chirping Crickets - The Crickets
Pure classic, not much else to say about this one.
The Bad
Close To You - The Carpenters
I know alot of people love these guys and the tragic life of Karen Carpenter, but this stuff is crap. Old people and the general population of Florida listen to crap like this.
The Ugly
A Christmas Gift For You - Phil Spector
Seriously, this dude is crazy ugly and just plain crazy. He paved the way for guys like Brian Eno, so you know where that puts my stance on him.

I was sure you'd talk about The Clash and maybe the The Chronic here. Lo' and behold, neither even get a sniff. I think you'd know a couple of the Chicago songs. I picked out a few they listed as the 'hits' of that album and I think I knew at least one or two of those. I wish "Saturday in the Park" was on that album. I always dug that song for some reason.
