Hi Brad and Brad,
I finished listening to
the second installment of BrAD Radio a couple of days ago. I'm really
enjoying the "D.J." type of format and am looking forward to BradB
giving it a go in the near future. One thing that BradL mentioned was
how he will purchase vinyl because of the album artwork. I've always
found album artwork fascinating and really enjoy Pearl Jam's. A little
while back, I ranked the studio albums from my favorite to least and
this is what I came up with.
1. No Code
2. Yield
3. Binaural
4. Backspacer
5. Lightning Bolt
6. Vitalogy
7. Avocado
8. Riot Act
9. Ten
10. Vs.
No
Code may very well be my favorite album artwork of any band or
musician. I love the Polaroids and the fact they lined them up to make
the "No Code symbol" with an eye inside of a triangle. Yield is second
for me, because I love the fact that a Yield sign is off of a road where
it makes no sense to have one. Plus the "Where's Waldo" type of
booklet inside, where you can find random Yield signs placed
throughout. I'm not sure if I'll take as much flack as BradL's studio
album ranking for Ten since i have it next-to-last on my favorite
artwork. It's not to say I don't love the fold out showing the guys all
joining hands up-top, it probably speaks more to how strong the rest of
their album artwork is.
Forced to endure, what I could not forgive,
Chris
