It sure sounds like everybody has the same 50 albums...  Don't people
think the subject over for even 30 seconds before posting?  It really
doesn't take that much perception to realize that any popular album
which you enjoy is going to be enjoyed by 1153 other nettoids as well,
and it will be extremely difficult to make your fervently composed
appreciation of same sound different from the 1153 previous such
appreciations.  I like some of the pieces too, but reading dozens of
articles with essentially the same content gets to be rather wearing.

I certainly don't have any of the albums which Michael Ellis mentions.
I have one which might conceivably fall in the category, namely Fred
Frith's GRAVITY.  This album not only has a very eclectic selection of
musical styles, and runs through several in an individual piece, it
frequently plays multiple styles simultaneously.  The first time I
heard it (on a late-night KPFK broadcast which I could just barely pick
up in San Diego), I felt certain that I was hearing three radio
stations at once...  Despite this, I like the album.

One more item in my weird music collection,
