The Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream
I'm building my MBs collection. At first I asked myself why, until I listened to In Search of the Lost Chord for the first time last week. Threshold doesn't quite reach the heights that The Lost Chord did for me, but I liked it.

People who listen to this show have great taste...I always assumed - especially from many of the callers - that no one gets a lot of Tom's references.

Heh, I amassed a bunch of Moody Blues albums several years ago, and I think my favorite is To Our Children's Children's Children.

feedtime - Shovel*
feedtime - Cooper-S*
Robert Pollard - Mouseman Cloud
Whitesnake - Slip of the Tongue

All four at once, Zaireeka-style.

*The original U.S. issues on Rough Trade; odd that I found both of these** for $8.50 each just as Sub Pop's Abberant Years box came out. 

**While at the record store at which said feedtime slabs were acquired I overheard a conversation about Tesla, and then successfully chimed in when the gentlemen were having difficultly recalling the title of the band's album with "the little boy and the radio" on the cover. (At this point I realized that I was not in fact in a record store.  I was in Heaven.)  I revealed that it was The Great Radio Controversy.  The clerk asked then asked me to confirm that this was considered to be their strongest release.  I confirmed it.

I need that and Seventh Sojourn to complete the classic collection.

Right now:

I nearly died from laughter when Tom was talking about some headphones he bought and their heavy low-end (Oct or Nov 2011). "Remember when Sly & Robbie did that one ABBA album" (or something to that effect).
Being a fan of both Reggae (Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare are a rhythm section duo and producers) and of ABBA, that killed me.

Liking it better than I thought I would.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

BadGuyZero,

I highly recommend the Tom G. Warrior biography.

It's pretty much the best/worst rock biography. Several hundred pages of rationalization for Cold Lake and Vanity Nemesis.

Definitely not what you'd expect from the cover. Musically anyway, it's one of his most upbeat records.

The Menzingers "On the Impossible Path" is AMAZING. It's right up there with J. Church and Jawbreaker and The Hold Steady in terms of punk bands (I know it's a stretch to put in The Hold Steady in that genre but they grew up hardcore kids) attempting to write serious songs. Just awesome stuff.
