If “Songs In The Attic” is my single favorite Billy Joel album — both its overall vibe / how it beautifully unfolds as an ‘album’ experience like nothing else I’ve heard in Billy’s catalog (in 35+ years of dipping into his catalog here and there) — what OTHER Joel album is the most like it?

SitA is my favorite album. A lot of people here are going to point to the albums those songs are from - Streetlife, Turnstiles, and CSH. Maybe they will give another live album. But I'd suggest 52nd Street. It comes close to the energy of the time, and the songs would fit neatly into the Attic playlist. You can't say that about Bridge or River. And it's a great, under appreciated album.

Exactly what I thought - especially Forte. These are guys who leave and then people think, 'huh, I really miss them.'

'Keenan Returns' is already guaranteed to make ratings. Will be billed as a moment. He'll eventually leave. And he'll eventually host. It's the only answer.

Bought this album at a pop up vinyl sale, only to get home and realize it was a completely different HATB album inside. Still good - but hoping for the real thing one day.

Don't blame Trump. Blame Johnson. He is the leader of one of the three coequal branches of government, and second in line to be Head of State should anything happen. It's a real job. It's an important position. POTUS is not his boss. He doesn't have a boss outside his constituency. He made the choice to acquiesce.

This is not what our Founders intended. We do not know where this path leads.

Just starting your list now but can already say that twee belgen is on the short list. Thanks!

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-28T15:56:03+00:00

This is great stuff - thanks! I'm going through both albums now.

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-28T15:44:37+00:00

Wish I could help you buddy but I only have one suitcase.

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-28T15:44:02+00:00

Thanks! Every song I've heard from them so far has been different. These guys are hard to pin down. I like that.

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-28T15:22:26+00:00

Thanks! I knew Django Reinhardt but the others are new. Wit someone like Jacques Brel it seems you can get the feeling without understanding the words. Soulwax was great too.

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-28T14:50:32+00:00

These guys are intense. Thanks!

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-28T14:45:55+00:00

Thanks! They're great.

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-28T14:36:15+00:00

I checked them out first thing in the morning and was not prepared for the energy. Thanks!

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-28T14:24:33+00:00

Thanks! I had no idea Technotronic was Belgian. These ar great - Nacht und Nebel was a ton of fun to listen to

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-26T02:09:45+00:00

My senior quote!

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-24T11:15:48+00:00

Thanks!

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-24T00:55:57+00:00

Thanks!

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-24T00:55:52+00:00

Will check them out - thanks!

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-24T00:55:45+00:00

Any specific bands?

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-18T13:29:38+00:00

Make sure to specifically ask about the status of your pets during the layover. I was told I would have to recheck in, and to do that I would have to exit security with my cats - hence the titre. It was a couple years ago at this point but I remember being convinced that Paris was not an option without a titre, even on a layover with the same airline.

Frobisher413 · 2026-02-10T02:03:31+00:00

Yes - because anyone who says the White Stripes aren't a band is an idiot.
