Hey, Thanks.

I thought about mine for several weeks as I was driving back and forth from work. (I have a long commute... it's possible to listen to a whole CD end-to-end, and then some...)

Cheers!

P.S. Hey, guys, the beard freaks me out too. Why do you think I have to wear those sunglasses. It's so I can look in the mirror!

my penny...

Kfn8-
I Do not have a commute ..only the ability to cut and paste someone elses framework- and add my own thought. I can (and sometimes do) listen here at work- but most of my listening is during my very short drive in -and a bit at home. I am rather in Lost Dogs mode- but will keep my answers directed toward DA alone.

Favorite DA Album:
1st: motor cycle
2nd: Horrendous Disc

(currently) most listened to Album:
1st: Shotgun Angel (Monthly or so)
2nd: MotorCycle (same)

Favorite song:
1st: Aint gonna Fight It
2nd Everyone Wore Hats

I am fickle on that also.

Album with the Coolest Lyrics:
1st: Horrendous Disc
2nd: Darn Floor Big Bite
3rd: Motorcycle

Coolest Lyrics:
1st: Shes Got a Giant head- we’ve go the hat to fit it
2nd: Psychosomatics cleaning their attics – with that I agree, but I’ll throw in:
He's got some bulletins on the radio
You turn the beatles up instead
Why do you settle for strawberry fields
His talk of heaven could fill more than your head

Favorite "Weird" (cool?) songs:
1st: Bibleland
2nd: Here I am

I would have put attack of the Pulpit Masters – or bad indigestion – but its DA time..

Favorite Other Groups that Terry Taylor Turned me on to:
1st: Adam again ( I know shame me- but it was the Dogs that led me to AA)
2nd confession- becoming a real 7s fan- through the Dogs (and really appreciating the artistry of Michael Roe
2nd LSU AGREE!!- Mike Knott etc,

Favorite Other Terry Taylor Groups:
1st: The Eddies
2nd: Terry's Solo Stuff
3rd: Lost Dogs

a side note
did I miss anybody?

Uhm – Equator and BTGATF by Stonehill basically………

Favorite "Inspirational" (mellow?) songs:
1st: Joel
2nd: Beautiful One

Editor's Note:
Mind you, that's all just favorite DA stuff. That doesn't count the Eddies or the Lost Dogs, or even Terry's Solo work!

It was fun to stay in that framework..I needs to dust off all the radio DA DA I have..!

Any favorites? Am I on target? Crazy?

Addendums:
Favorite reoccurring theme in DA Music?
1st – the term Mystery Spot
2nd - Whistling ( in song lyric..or actually whistling….!)

Favorite Rock DA Tune
1st – Wise Acres
2nd Love #19

If I Could only grab ONE DA work from the burning house to survive on ?
MBD..cuz its 2 CDs and has so much variety……

Great list. Motorcycle may end up my favorite album if I keep listening to it over and over again.

Ditto that! I should have picked Moonlight Sleeps...

Yep, those are going to show up on my personal Eddies and Dogs Statistics post when I get around to it...

Hey, I'd put the 77's on my list for sure: except I'm not exactly sure which group I was a big fan of first: The 77s, or DA? I can't remember. I was listening to Ping Pong Over the Abyss over and over again about the same time I was listening to all of the Alarma Chronicles...

... my fuzzy past...

I do know I saw Mike Roe and company in concert many years before I ever say Terry Taylor in concert (and then it was with the Lost Dogs, so I got to see Mike again too...)

Never have seen DA in concert... but probably you've got to be a Californian, or somebody that goes to every cornerstone to say you have.

I can definitely applaud those.

Gonna have to think about those. I definitely agree about Wise Acres.

Also, another good statistic would be:

Favorite Song for the Bass
1st ???
2nd ???

(every once in a while I'm listening to a song, and thinking: man the bass is good in this song!!! but then afterwards I forget what song it was.)

Cheers!
