    I've noticed that several posters mention Led Zeppelin 4 as a favorite. Makes me feel good, because I had ordered it not too long ago from BMG and expect it any day now. The only Led Zeppelin CD I have is "In Through the Out Door," which is pretty good.

    sixsixsixtynine-- I don't think I'll ever get tired of listening to that Brian Eno album. Easily one of his best.

    Mr. Flipper-- I've got some greatest hits albums that are stupendous! I already mentioned the Carpenters. I've also got the Bee Gees- "Their Greatest Hits - The Record," Eagles- "The Very Best of," and Foreigner- "Complete Greatest Hits." I once had "A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson" 2 LP album which was great, especially with all of the album artwork and a large (by today's standards) booklet. Alas, I no longer have any records.

    The Court of the Crimson King The rusted chains of prison moons
    Are shattered by the sun.
    I walk a road, horizons change
    The tournament's begun.
    The purple piper plays his tune,
    The choir softly sing;
    Three lullabies in an ancient tongue,
    For the court of the Crimson King.

    The keeper of the city keys
    Put shutters on the dreams.
    I wait outside the pilgrim's door
    With insufficient schemes.
    The black queen chants
    the funeral march,
    The cracked brass bells will ring;
    To summon back the fire witch
    To the court of the Crimson King.

    The gardener plants an evergreen
    Whilst trampling on a flower.
    I chase the wind of a prism ship
    To taste the sweet and sour.
    The pattern juggler lifts his hand;
    The orchestra begin.
    As slowly turns the grinding wheel
    In the court of the Crimson King.

    On soft grey mornings widows cry
    The wise men share a joke;
    I run to grasp divining signs
    To satisfy the hoax.
    The yellow jester does not play
    But gently pulls the strings
    And smiles as the puppets dance
    In the court of the Crimson King.

    Some cool choices there, drew.

    Funny that the Flaming Lips dedicated a song to Beck on their latest release:

    Free Radicals (A Hallucination Of The Christmas Skeleton Pleading With A Suicide Bomber)
    You think you're so radical
    I think you ought to stop (say what?)
    But you're going international (no, no, no)
    They're going to call the cops

    You're turning into
    A poor man's Donald Trump
    I know those circumstances
    Make you want to jump

    Oh, no

    You think you're radical
    But you're not so radical
    In fact, you're fanatical
    Fanatical

    And you think you're radical
    But you're not so radical
    In fact, you're fanatical
    Fanatical

    I'll tell you right now (right now)
    You ought to change your mind (yes!)
    All of your friends are (uh-huh)
    Standing in line

    They're getting tired of
    Your attitude fast (uh)
    (You've got to lose it, you've got to lose it)
    Without all your bodyguards
    How long would you last? (not long!)

    (Not long!)

    You think you're radical
    But you're not so radical
    In fact, you're fanatical
    Fanatical

    And you think you're radical
    But you're not so radical
    In fact, just fanatical
    Fanatical

    And you think you're radical
    But you're not so radical
    In fact, you're fanatical
    Fanatical


    It seems that touring with a Scientologist wasn't all fun. LOL!
