I bought my wife Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown when it came out, and I just finally got around to listening to it in the past few weeks.  Great stuff, almost as good as American Idiot.

 IMO I would definitely say the standouts are Viva La Gloria and Murder City.  Great, Great songs and of course somehow neither one is one of the 5 singles from the album.

^That had to be the best thing the MKII lineup made. I don't think you can say you've heard Deep Purple, until you've heard that album. No frills, just great live performances. I think it's a better look into their sound than their albums provided.

Dire Straits - Dire Straits (1978)

Every guitarist needs to listen to this album.

 sultans of swing = incredible guitar solo

I think I might have to check out the album now

Thanks for the compliments from everyone. We are glad you are enjoying it.

We haven't tried, but it should be possible to merge the m2ts files together into one, and remake the bluray that way, so that there are no gaps. You could test it on a computer first before burning to see if it works.

 You can with Tsmuxer.  Just open the correct .mpls file.

For an MKV 'MakeMKV' will merge them all into one MKV.  MKVmerge/MKVtoolnix will do this too.

Dial M for Murder (1954)

Bland direction, no likable characters, and all that convoluted nonsense with the keys near the end make this one of the most overrated movies I've ever seen. Ray Milland's performance is the only real saving grace this picture has.

I'm positive that were it not for Hitchcock's name, this movie would've been forgotten decades ago.

C-

 I agree completely. I was going on a Hitchcock binge recently and Dial M for Murder was the only film I just couldn't get into. I just don't thing it grabs the audience like Hitchcock films do. Why is this considered one of his masterpieces, and Marnie considered a crapsterpiece?

 I really liked Dial M but it's definitely no masterpiece.  I've seen a lot of Hitchcock movies and Marnie is easily my least favorite.

I assume the DCP is for private eyes only, am I right?  This is the first I recall hearing of it.  I take no issue with that, but if it is in fact available and I missed the memo, I wouldn't mind taking a peek.

It is at the place that rhymes with "Sheen".

;)

 nope, because that place has two syllables.

 'Echoes' from Meddle is great but other than that I think the album preceding Dark Side 'Obscured by Clouds' is better and displays even more of what you would eventually hear on Dark Side.



"Meddle" owns and "One of These Days" is one of the best songs they've ever done

 I don't disagree with any of that but have you listened to 'Obscured...'?

 Obscured By Clouds is a good set of songs, but it doesn't flow like Meddle or Dark Side of the Moon. Meddle has that audible journey that Pink Floyd albums take you on.

 Good post, I agree with everything in it except there's still that one thing from your first post that 'Obscured' trumps IMO.  "Good set of songs" or not it still has more songs leaning toward the 'Dark Side' sound than Meddle does.  I'm not taking anything away from Meddle at all, it's awesome IMO. 

BTW when you say 'audible journey' are you talking about concept albums which they are probably the kings of:
