Re: albums you shouldn't play at your office party

Top ten room-clearing albums of all time:

1. Butthole Surfers - .....Another Man's Sac....
2. Motorhead - Self-Titled
3. Shaggs - Philosophy of the World
4. Royal Trux - Twin Infinitives
5. Birthday Party - Mutiny/The Bad Seed
6. Joy Division - Still (side 4 only)
7. Captain Beefheart - Lick My Decals Off Baby
8. Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat (yes, I know, "Sister Ray" has made it twice onto this list)
9. Elvis Costello - North
10. Nico - The Marble Index

Party on, dude!

the one night I dj-ed at Mod Mondays at Tramps in NYC about 22 years ago, i believe the two records that I successfully used to clear the floor and then empty the room were a German single i always liked by Justin Wolf or Way or somebody and the Who's "Waltz for a Pig." EMPTY!

i got four words for ya':

Renaldo and the Loaf

1. Sebastian Cabot, Actor/Bob Dylan, Poet
2. Metal Machine Music Lou Reed
3. Soundtrack to Triumph of the Will
4. Swans Children of God
5. Onobox
6. Billy Joel's Greatest Hits
7. Sinatra's Trilogy
8. It's Hard The Who
9. Trans Neil Young

tie for tenth
a) Sonic Youth's Confusion is Sex
b) Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy

Gang of Four -- Hard
Goat's Head Soup -- Rolling Stones
Mott the Hoople -- Anything post-Ian Hunter See Below
British Lions -- See Above (Overend Watts' hair can't even save these...)
I shudder to think about the Milli Vanilli or She-Daisy Remix albums.

Christian Death - Only Theatre of Pain
Birthday Party - Junkyard
Big Black - Atomizer
The Locust - s/t EP
any mainstream songs downloaded from _____ in which the real song starts off but goes off into terrible, digital noise.

Laurie Anderson - Big Science
Bad Religion - No Control
Black Flag - Damaged (side 2 in particular)
Mentors - Live (or any)
Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out
Siouxsie & the Banshees - The Scream
Public Image, LTD. - Metal Can/Second Edition
Meat Puppets - In a Car/1st LP
Throbbing Gristle - (any)
Damned - Damned Damned Damned

(and of course, most twangy country or rap)

...This would be a great grad-psych experiment, btw...
