Boy, I just love Henry the Human Fly. Nobody's Wedding, Twisted, Shakey Nancy, Roll over...I just love those bargain bins, one man's trash, another man's treasure. How about The Hampton Grease Band's Music to Eat?, Or Kevin Coyne's Sugar Candy Taxi?, I end up with too many copies for $.99. I hate overproduced albums, actually low-fi is what I look for, but I like Daniel Lanios? In any case I was very disappointed with much of the Fairport Convention's output after the early break in the band. Andrew --- zorn-list-request@mailman.xmission.com wrote:

Don Byron's "Nu Blaxploitation" was a disappointment after "Bug Music." I suppose I should give it another chance, but I may have traded it in....
who told don he needed a poet? interesting does not always mean repeated listens. in short -- don't bother
Most disappointing solo album: former NRBQ guitarist Al Anderson's "Pay Before You Pump." The choice of songs was poor -- I'd gotten hold of a demo tape that had much better tunes on it - and the production was exasperating. His "Party Favors" left me pretty lukewarm, too.
Yeah -- how could write a song as great as "I Could Do This All Night Long", be the greatest white rock'n'roll singer since 1964, have Tom Ardolino on drums, and still sound dead from the dick up?
Scary.

My first impression of the great pianist Andrew Hill was on a cut-out record my brother brought home many years ago. It was called "From California with Love". I don't even remember what it sounded like but I do remember it was awful. Jazz lite or something. Nothing like the music I had heard he was about. It took years before I heard and appreciated him again.

What's the deal with the Willies - another lacklustre release from Frisell, or worth checking out? Also, has anyone heard the new Arto Lindsay? Even if it does just sound like his last few, is it still good?
Continuing the worst album question - a different question is - what album did you hear that you thought was absolute crap but then turned into an album that you really love? I remember the first time I heard the Residents- Mark of the Mole I was so disapointed/upset I grabbed the needle and scratched the record while it was playing - I now am a huge fan of the Residents (older stuff) and I have listened to that particular album many, many times and consider it one of their best.

TROUT MASK REPLICA. I was about 12 or 13, and I bought it because of the Zappa connection. I absolutely hated it, but couldn't figure out why. I kept playing it trying to find what was pissing me off. Turned out to be love at 20th sight. True love.
