The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project (aka Preachin’ about the Preachers if today’s selection sucks)

[Nee Lewman]

G.Love & The Special Sauce probably toured with these guys at some point, right? It seems highly probable.

I was gonna crack a joke about this being G Love, but this makes that shit seem great.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Nah the Football team was busy listening to Metallica and Pantera.

Respect.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I feel like Dostoevsky should come back from the dead and sue. And really fucking Smoke In The Water, again?

 

[Nee Lewman]

Even the samples suck by this point.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I pity the punks that partake in the madness (of listening to this album)

 

[Nee Lewman]

What the fuck is going on now, a country power ballad?

 

[Nee Lewman]

Is this song supposed to be anti methadone? I’m so confused.

 

[Nee Lewman]

It just fizzles at the end.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Ugh.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Man. Don’t listen to that shit, that’s my recommendation. If I weren’t already in bed, I would crack open the book.

 

[Whiteout75]

I actually own this on CD.

Don’t remember how, when or why I picked it up, but I have listened to it, more than once I think. I remember thinking Scooby Snacks was kinda catchy. I don’t know if I dare to listen to it today though after this tirade.

 

[Joe Mac]

Hahaha! This reminds me of the late 90s, I knew plenty of people who were into this then but was never quite so much myself. Scooby Snacks was sorta a hit, for some reason Huey Morgan became a sort of minor B list tv celebrity in Britain and they became sorta synonymous with the early “hangover” slot at festivals.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Hey guys, you gotta hear this great band from the 90s that I rediscovered…. Oh… nevermind

 

[jt4527]

Does Huey still have a weekend slot on BBC Radio 6 Music?

He always comes across as a fairly decent fellow.

Fun Lovin' Criminals were terrible, though.

I think he may have been on a long list of possible replacements for Mark Lamarr when he quit hosting Nevermind the Buzzcocks

It’s okay as long as it’s next to your Eminem, Sublime, Bloodhound Gang and Beastie Boys CDs.

 

[dbarila]

Oh shit, I just realized they had an even worse 2nd single “hit”.

Literally the only thing I know about Fun Lovin Criminals is that I have a Glastonbury Anthems DVD with a performance of this song from Glastonbury 1999 on it. Not gonna lie, it's a pretty cool performance but doesn't make me need to check out any more of them.

Saw FLC live in NYC with my wife a long time ago. It was really fun.

*Checks cd box in the attic* Hm…there’s Clawfinger…House of Pain…Everlast…nope. Neither of those in any close proximity

Man, that Crazy Train cover was pretty awesome. For real!
