THE BYRDS "ate miles standish" |
||||||||||||||||||||
Turn! Turn! Turn! 1965 Gay! Gay! Gay! more like it. I don't understand why THAT song is on the radio all the time, but you know what these records sound like because you have them all and are wearing little blue rectangle glasses, right? This continues the tradition of ending with a really stupid cover and having people slobber over how clever it is do cover these dumb songs for 40 yearz. -- Paul Harvey |
||||||||||||||||||||
Mr. Tambourine Man 1965 Why do you have stupid songs like We'll Meet Again? How come you want to be the Beatles? Why do you contain lots of good songs and great singing and Rickenbacker? -- P.J. Harvey DEAR PJ: You spin me right around like a record, baby. SINCERELY, THIS ALBUM |
||||||||||||||||||||
The Fifth Dimension 1966 This is where cool stuff happens. Forget about how perfect or whatever the first two albums are, cause they're not, they have too much of that... That well-written early rock and roll. You know. The reason why you listen to the White album every now and then and not Please Please Me EVEN THOUGH you pretend like you disdain those who dislike the Beatles early work, YOU YOURSELF NEVER LISTEN TO IT DO YOU?! This is directed squarely at Paul Harvey. -- P.J. Harvey |
||||||||||||||||||||
Younger Than Yesterday 1967 This is the best one even though you have to skip Mind Gardens. I like Davis Crosby anyway, the ole walrus. Who else would wear such a silly cap and make us laugh on the cover of Greatest Hits? Chris Hillman's hair is a close competetitiooire in this category. He more good songs on this album than Crosby, though, so I have to make fun of him less. Or I could just compliment him more. He plays the mandolin SO WELL! -- Paul Harvey |
||||||||||||||||||||
The Notorious Byrds Brothers 1967 I don't care if this album IS from 1968, it sounds like it's from 1967 so it is. And it was only released JANUARY 3RD! Erasing four days of history won't hurt--Why, were you born on January 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, 1968? If you were, you're probably almost 40, if you're still alive. Have fun! -- PJ Harvey |

Sweetard of the Rodeo 1968 Ughh I hate this album but it oddly compels me to listen to it. It has a spooky spell. It is neither the wonderful masterpiece nor the overrated crapbag. It is something weird that makes you like and not like it. You have to be in a down-home mood. Buy it if you feel DANGEROUS! -- Paul Harvey |
||||||||||||||||||||
The Ballad of Easy Rider 1969 Heh, this one's kind of cool. Fido. Funky. The title track sounds like the blend of country-rock that they always tried to do but it was way too country. Bum rap! Not a bad album! Cool! It's not their best but it's pretty nice. -- Paul Harvey |
||||||||||||||||||||
Dr. Byrds and Mr. Hyde 1969 Mediocore. Why do they need to do My Back Pages again? You already did it perfectly four years ago, The Byrds. FOUR YEARZ? See the Flaming Lips page for more details on four years. Look, Flaming Lips, if the Byrds can compress Mr. Tambourine Man through Easy Rider in four years, how can you compress NOTHING? 1999-2003: The years of mystery. -- PJ Harvey |

About the authors: Paul and P.J. Harvey are brother and sister, despite their difference in age. You might think, How can Paul be so old and still be P.J.'s brother; but then you remember that P.J. has gotten a lot older since she first started making albums. They live together in Toledo and listen to Byrds records while eating sushi, Phucty, runs in the park, and the Atlanta Braves. |
