I do not own

[loadedquestion]

It's worth it for "Butch Cassidy" and "If It Smashes Down" alone.

I love it when Butch Cassidy gets love.

Get At Dawn
Get TTF

All their earlier recordings like The sand worm cometh.

Okonokos
Where to begin

I consider myself a big MMJ fan and listen to at least one of the 6 albums I own everyday.

How urgent is it that I get these CD's?

I started with Okonokos then at dawn and Evil Urges.  When I went to bonnaroo I came back and bought Z and It Still Moves.  After the Louisville and Nashville Shows, I picked up Tennessee Fire.  Great move.  actuall, I just got done listening to it.

EU like Animals, cannot compete with the greatness of the previous albums, but it is still a very good album.  

Cannot and will not agree with this. Both Animals and Evil Urges are in my all-time top 10 albums.

Wow.  Both?  Top ten all time?  Unless, you think the other Floyd/MMJ albums inferior, your top ten would most likely made up of all Floyd/MMJ albums (which in theory I have no problem with  ;)).

Of the MMJ/Floyd albums, I would include ISM,Z and WYWH,Meddle,  Dark Side, The Wall in the Top 10 of all time.  But I would have to leave room for Led Zep, REM, U2, and Pearl Jam/Nirvana before I would get to the rest of the MMJ/Floyd catalogs.

Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album (seriously), and Evil Urges has a special place as the first MMJ album to come out while I was a fan.

Z is my all-time favorite album.  ;)

[chuckooo]

Ohhhh, I envy you chuckooo!   So much still ahead for you to soak in.  

It's like discovering sex/drugs/pizza for the first time!  Enjoy!

Hahahahahahahahaha...   ;D

Nice.

I hope the lack of response from chuckooo is because he bought the albums immediately and can't seem to tear himself away.

In fact it is actually!

Fantastic!

What do you think?

[hizzo]

Do tell! I'm eager to hear! I feel like I already know the response though....  ;)

Be prepared for greatness. At Dawn changed my life.

[Grateful Chabo]

i heard it still moves and z before i got at dawn and when i heard the ism and z i had fallen in love with mmj but then i heard at dawn...fuckin masterpiece.  like rubber soul

[Ghostess on TV]

At Dawn is my favorite album. Everyone should own it.

[ItStillJaimoe]

When people ask me what MMJ should they should start with, I always tell them to pick up their early albums and work out from there (or depending on their taste, I'll tell them to get It Still Moves and work back). Evil Urges is a polarizing album, far more than Z was at the time of its release, so I can't imagine not owning The Tennesse Fire and At Dawn and still calling yourself a fan.

I had no idea what I was missing. Hell I listened to okonokos and acoustic ALL the time. Now with At Dawn and Tennessee Fire, I hear exactly what I wanted. More raw, although I do like evil urges, it can't compare. EU has some good songs like reminants and smokin' from shootin', but in no way are they like "I Will Be There When You Die". Incredible.

I feel so inspired to write several other songs now.




Also! I was checking on playlist.com, there's a ton of amazing christmas songs on there, and my new favorite; "Behind Those Locked Doors". Now that, is a good song.

I'm guessing this is probably the next step.. http://www.mymorningjacket.com/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1212757942

Actually I was thinking the next step is the covers comp.  Behind that Locked Door is a George Harrison cover.  There are a ton more gems to uncover in here: http://www.mymorningjacket.com/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1154140025
