Musicheads want to know which album you want to...

A lot of veteran artists are getting together and playing some of their classic albums from start to finish on stage these days. Our question this week: Who's an artist or band you'd like to see do this and which album should they play?

For the CD discussion guests Mac Wilson and Barb Abney talk with me about Monsters of Folk's self-titled release, Yo La Tengo's Popular Songs, and Jay Reatard's (born Jimmy Lee Lindsey) Watch Me Fall.

Musicheads airs every Tuesday at 10 p.m. CT on 89.3 The Current.

Sure would be a treat to see the Husker Du put their differences aside and perform the 2 album set, Warehouse Songs & Stories in it's entirety!

I agree on Husker Du, but my vote would be to hear "Zen Arcade" in it's entirety.

Seeing The Decemberists perform "The Hazards of Love" straight through was a definite highlight concert experience (including a five-percussionist "Rake Song"), but that's a bit of a cheap answer, given the nature of the album. Similarly, it would be amazing to see The Who do "Tommy" or "Quadrophenia."

But how cool would it be to see The Beatles do "Abbey Road"'s second side straight through? Or Van Morrison do "Moondance"? So many good answers for this one.

Eric B & Rakim's Paid In Full
MC5's High Time
Alice Cooper's Flush the Fashion or Special Forces albums

I think enough time has past that The Screaming Tree's playing their last album Dust is in order. Also as Drivin' n Cryin are back (with a great new album I should add) I don't think there is much of a chance that they would be out playing their under rated (and poorly produced) album Smoke.

I got to hear all of Joel Plaskett's albums live during his 6-night stay at the Horseshoe Tavern's (Toronto) 60th anniversary, in December 2007. What a fantastic time that was!

Anyway, I suppose I'd most like to see Fleetwood Mac's Future Games album live. It's an old fave of mine. Delicious guitar.

I remember when Cheap Trick went on tour when their 1st 3 album were reissued on CD and they played 3 consecutive nights at First Avenue.

The 2nd night Steven Tyler & Joe Perry from Aerosmith dropped by and did Train Kept a Rollin'. That was a very rock 'n roll moment!
