skybluesky Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Exile in Guyville - Liz Phair - 1993 Never Said Soap Star Joe F-k and Run Divorce Song Before their was Lilith Fair, there was Liz Phair, and Exile in Guyville, a one woman manifesto on female sexuality and the place of women in rock music and the world. Exile in Guyville gave women everywhere a voice not yet heard, and a stern warning that chicks belong in rock and roll right at the forefront, being loud and making music as good as any boy. Warning - if you choose to listen to more songs on your own, be prepared for adult language. Liz is pretty frank in her lyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Monster - R.E.M. - 1994 What's the Frequency Kenneth Crush with Eyeliner Tongue Bang and Blame R.E.M. is my favorite band of all time and has been for 18 years. I could have chosen any one of the five albums they released in the 90s, but I chose Monster because, with heavy feedback and searing guitars, it served as a departure from R.E.M.'s usual sound.

Lucky Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) Two albums from opposite sides of my tastes in music. One was a very classic artist, one was a very new artist.

pinkstones Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 You're not a nerd. Me, I would do that but I just don't think anyone really cares what I think about the albums I nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 But Lucky's OP says we're SUPPOSED to do it. I am a nerd because I was the only person to read and followed instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Sure we care about your take on an album. I like giving one or two tidbits on what an album means to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 You are NOT a nerd because you followed the instructions. Thank you Shannon, I really appreciate the fact that you did. I should have done it, and so should everyone else (but we can't force anyone to). The idea is to find out why you're nominating a particular album (hopefully it's not only because you feel that it could be a winner). That being said .... I'm going to edit my info into my nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
