Berger Roy Al, I think you might just be insane! I'm sure you think Husker Du is the most influential rock n’ roll group.

What? Of course not. The most influential would have to be the Mighty Clouds of Roy, Featuring Berger Roy Al and The Comb-overs. Duh.

I heard you wanted the Tuxedo Clad Megastar to be your vocalist, but he refused, saying, "Comb-overs? You need a full head of beautiful hair--like mine--to sell out an arena. Besides, that Berger guy, between you and me, is a few fries short of a happy meal."
That's what I heard, anyway.

That would make a good band name. "The Flying Buttress' latest album There features Berger Roy Al on bass."
Maybe not.

Gotta run, Berger. If you happen to see that Tim Chandler guy, tell him for me that he's the better bass player. 
Take care!

Yeah, those Christian Colleges can be something awful.
Good to see you on the board again!

Late to the game here but here are my top 5 and why:
5. Shotgun Angel: They were a different band in many ways back then but the slick 70's analog production coupled with Terry Taylor's whimsical lyrics and the band's unusual persona make this record quite an achievement. There really wasn't a christian record out there that sounded quite like it. Sure it sounds like the Eagles or whatever but in the end its kinda like DA were pressing their tongues firmly in their cheeks as they appeared to be playing it straight.
4. Vox Humana: I think the boys SHOULD release a new version of this album b/c the songs are just GREAT and a new production spin would open up a whole new view. That being said, the album sounds great to me still. With bands like Postal Service bringing back the synth, this album doesn't sound dated it sounds in.
3. Horrendous Disc: A really great pop record that has plenty of melody/lyrical craft. My best friend growing up turned me on to DA and this was the album that struck a chord first. They were channeling late period Beatles but subverting it at the same time. There are a few songs that sound like filler but the rest is just amazing.
2. Darn Floor: This was a tough decision. I keep flipping this and Doppleganger around. This is without a doubt the best thing the band has ever achieved musically. Greg's guitar work is so critical, so key. Everything is top shelf.
1. Doppleganger: It's just the single most definitive DA record. They are who they are on this record. There is something dark and haunting about this record. It's funny and scary. It's melodic and aggressive. It's slick and it's raw. Not to sound like a vinyl snob but this record, more than any other DA album, sounds so much better on LP than CD.

Vox Humana sounds better on vinyl to me.
It seems to have a little more weight to it, for some reason.
Same deal as with Doppelgänger.

^This records on this list is so close to each other.
Mr Buechner's Dream could just as easy fit into the number slot.

It's still cracks me up that this record could be third or first in my top five.

1. Doppelganger. My opinion, this is the best new wave album ever recorded. Very creative, moody, deep, and progressive.
2. Alarma!. As Richard Peace put it in his review back in 1981 in Concert Magazine, "It...is a brash, new, and intensely creative musical experience."
3. Songs of the Heart. I love the concept, and DA executed it with perfection. This album should have sold 500,000 copies for the cover of Can't Take My Eyes Off of You alone.
4. Mr. Buechner's Dream. Lyrical genius, very forward thinking musically. A bit inconsistant at times, but that is made up for nicely by the large number of songs on the two CDs.
5. MotorCycle. All-around great album. I like how some songs fade into and out of each other (like on side "b" of Shotgun Angel). A little more "pop-ish" than a typical (if there is such a thing) DA album, but done very, very well.
A side note is that I've never heard all of Darn Floor- Big Bite, and I'm sure it would land in my "Top 5" if I had heard it (I can't wait for that rerelease to be done!). |
OK, now that I own DF-BB, here is my updated list:
1. Darn Floor - Big Bite. Awesome in every way! It might be the best album I've ever heard.
2. Doppelganger. This is one of the best new wave album ever recorded. Very creative, moody, deep, and progressive.
3. Alarma!. As Richard Peace put it in his review back in 1981 in Concert Magazine, "It...is a brash, new, and intensely creative musical experience."
4. Songs of the Heart. I love the concept, and DA executed it with perfection. This album should have sold 500,000 copies for the cover of Can't Take My Eyes Off of You alone.
5. Mr. Buechner's Dream. Lyrical genius, very forward thinking musically. A bit inconsistant at times, but that is made up for nicely by the large number of songs on the two CDs.
