The History Of Jop Part 15 aka In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

If it's Thursday, it must be 1994! The grip of alt.rock and hip-hop - mostly alt.rock - on the Pazz and Jop poll is close to total, and Anglophiles aren't carrying much weight. This does mean that we've got a lot of tracks to rate that never came near a Now album, though!

NINE ticks out of 27 songs.

They are extremely inconsistent, almost more a coalition than a band. But I liked 'em as much as I liked Dylan, more than I liked the Beatles (and might still). Bass player had played with James Brown.

Best album to start with is Crown of Creation. Must to avoid is Bark. Surrealistic Pillow is overrated (though has two great Slick classics). After Bathing at Baxter's is my personal favorite. Takes Off is before Grace joined the band. (Grace's previous band, the Great Society is worth listening to as well, though only a couple of studio tracks exist.)
