  • What a band.

    My first album was Life's Rich Pagaent and I was hooked from there.

    The desert island pick? Damn that's hard. I think I would go with Murmur.

    3 best:
    World Leader Pretend
    Exhuming McCarthy
    King of Birds

    Bow to the Kid.
  • What was your first album?

    The Chronic Town EP. I was there pretty much since they broke out of Georgia. I saw their second show in New York City (Thanksgiving 1982). They were my band during the '80s and early '90s.

    What would your Desert Island album be?

    Document, without a doubt. Their songwriting was at its peak, and they were still a rocking four-piece band, not just a studio confection.

    The first 3 tracks that pop into your head?

    It's The End Of The World As We Know It
    Radio Free Europe (preferably the original Hib-Tone version)
    Find the River

    From 1983, this may have been their first national TV appearance - on a kid's show. Apparently there was an audience Q&A earlier in the program and one of the kids asking the band a question was a very young Adam Horowitz, aka Ad Rock of The Beastie Boys.

    Jesus, they were young...and dig the high '80s fashions in the audience!
