不曉得大家聽音樂的過程中 所接觸到的音樂或是剛開始聽的音樂是哪些
我想比較熟悉我的人或是有在看我版的人應該都知道我的啟蒙是什麼
對地 羅克塞 棒球飛 空中補給 灰狼蘿蔔
和我同輩份的人我想那段時間剛開始接觸的音樂應該不脫離這些

國中時買了一套三cd盒裝的葛萊美獎全集
那三張成為了我後來尋找音樂的根據
有誰呢
REM, Judy Collins, Phil Collins, Beach Boys, Prince......
其中 Losing My Religion, Against All Odds, Kiss, Both Sides Now, Birdland......
到現在我腦海中都還記得 每一首都可以說是琅琅上口
其中我最愛的是 Marc Cohn的 Walking In Memphis
那搧情單純的鋼琴獨奏配上 Marc的歌聲 真的是把人的魂魄都給勾出來了

好了 重點來了(不準再說我是勸敗魔人)
那時我在音叉看到這新聞興奮到口水都快留出來了
Rhino將會在美國時間七月二十六號發行 Whatever: The 90s Pop Culture Box
該死的七 cds大盒裝共一百三十首歌全數 remaster
外加八十四頁由眾著名樂評寫的逐曲解說(包括剛左搖滾作者 Jim DeRogatis)
還好笑的加了一包咖啡豆 (邊聽邊磨豆回味九零年代美好時光 真是貼心阿)
個人認為這套盒裝可以說是將九零年代所有金曲全部打包
對於像我一樣該死的做法(過往美好回憶專輯幾乎全部賣光光)
這套盒裝選集剛好將所有的回憶全部打包
有人可能會問說怎麼沒收 Nirvana, Madonna, Pearl Jam等團
嗯嗯 上述三者的專輯我想大家應該都很耳熟能詳了
多聽聽九零年代那段無敵霹靂美好的音樂吧
八月份必衝!!!

另外 Rhino所發行
Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968
Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond
兩套迷幻大盒裝也是對於迷幻搖滾有興趣的人必收的盒裝

我印象中第一套誠品有進過
但當初我很白濫的立志要將專輯一張張收齊
後來才發現你老師卡好大水餃一堆專輯都絕版了
ebay想標也未必標的到 還有更重要的是有些專輯其實就一首歌著名
所以這兩套可以說是一網打盡
有興趣者可以考慮(請不要再和我辯論這叫不叫做迷幻了)
