Title: Best Album Ever. Post by: hoffman1611 on February 26, 2011, 07:58:54 pm Best Mellencamp album ever? My vote goes to Uh-Huh
Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: WildNight on February 26, 2011, 09:03:32 pm Big Daddy

I mean, come on. Is this a trick question? Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: petenkaren on February 27, 2011, 11:07:09 am Whenever We Wanted - PERIOD
I love how JM came back and rocked like never before and hasn't since. Followed by: Scarecrow Mr. Happy Go Lucky Lonesome Jubilee Freedom's Road Uh-Huh Human Wheels Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: kicker on February 27, 2011, 07:37:13 pm For me it used to be Human Wheels, now it's No Better Than This, followed closely by Life, Death, Love & Freedom, John's last two albums really are his best, i cannot wait for the next one.
It shouldn't be about which one rocks the hardest, it should be about which one has the strongest songs, there's no doubt in my mind it's the last two, i think John would agree. Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: dolly23 on February 28, 2011, 08:57:09 am Ever week its a different one. Last week was big Daddy.
Love them all in different ways. Hard question, for sure! Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: mitch1982 on February 28, 2011, 11:20:04 am For me, Life, Death, Love and Freedom by a long shot! Brilliant song writing & music...a complete package. Feels like the real John; and with so much for every person to identify with thrown in too!

Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: sheilafarmer on February 28, 2011, 04:01:07 pm I love all of John's albums but my favorite has to be
The Lonesome Jubilee and Big Daddy. Those two strike a cord with me. Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: petenkaren on February 28, 2011, 08:23:44 pm It shouldn't be about which one rocks the hardest, it should be about which one has the strongest songs, there's no doubt in my mind it's the last two, i think John would agree. I agree that it shouldn't. It just so happens that WWW is my fave and it rocked! The song writing and messages are just as evident in WWW as they are in LDLF and NBTT. All good stuff. The only release I still don't listen to entirely from time to time is LDLF. Love the LIVE version though. Much, much better! Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: WildNight on February 28, 2011, 11:28:04 pm I have to agree, the lyrics in Life, Death, Love & Freedom might be his best but I simply can't get through that album. I like Mellencamp because he because his music creates a feeling. For some reason that album doesn't do it for me. I think Nothing Better Than This has nearly as good of lyrics as LDLF but has alot more passion in it. For me the best albums to listen to from start to finish are.
1. Big Daddy 2. Nothing Better Than This 3. Whenever We Wanted 4. Lonesome Jubilee 5. Freedoms Road Mr. Happy Go Lucky/John Mellencamp are great as well but have a few throw out songs Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: Smalltownboy on March 07, 2011, 11:25:39 am John has made a lot of good albums but I'll also give my vote to Uh-Huh.
Mike Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: mcsmithmusic on March 07, 2011, 11:10:59 pm "Big Daddy" has always done it for me.
Still as relevant today despite some of the topical subjects. After that "Life, Death, Love & Freedom" Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: sheilafarmer on March 15, 2011, 12:41:58 pm I like them all. But Lonesome Jubilee is definately my favorite. ;D
Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: jeffreyjack on March 15, 2011, 08:47:32 pm 1. Lonesome Jubilee
2. Big Daddy 3. Scarecrow 4. John Cougar (from '79) 5. Uh-Huh 6. Nothin' Matters And What If It Did 7. Cuttin' Heads 8. John Mellencamp 9. Whenever We Wanted 10. Human Wheels Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: lette on March 25, 2011, 10:17:49 pm Gosh this is a tricky one and depends what mood Im in! I would go with this list right now:
Big Daddy Uh huh Scarecrow Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: Mellenfan71 on April 09, 2011, 10:15:04 pm Lonesome Jubilee
Scarecrowe Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: Chaquan on April 28, 2011, 08:18:45 pm It should not be the hardest stone which, it should be one of the strongest songs which, no I have no doubt this is the last two, I think John would agree...
Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: Heartlandrocker on April 29, 2011, 08:03:46 am No better than this....best album ever...cannot stop playin it...thers so much that rings true in my life on this...not havin seen my brother for 8 years...and his wife dont like me!...."i saw myself as others see me"...a living proof moment..."alone yourself til the day you die"....absolutly spot on j.m.
Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: sweatsockpimp on May 02, 2011, 10:50:02 am 1.Whenever We Wanted. The sound, the guitars.
2.Scarecrow. Those songs.... 3.Words And Music. Ultimate best of. Basic stuff for your car-audio! Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: cwspence on May 04, 2011, 08:32:49 pm Big Daddy - the first album where John wasn't trying to write a hit record
Uh-Huh - validation of John's prominence as a songwriter Scarecrow - solid follow up to Uh-Huh, and established John as a social commentator Title: Re: Best Album Ever. Post by: oberturn on May 05, 2011, 01:53:25 pm This is so hard! I have to rank some of them the same.
1. Nothin' Matters And What If It Did (why I fell in love with JM music) 2. John Cougar (from '79) 3. John Mellencamp 3. Uh-Huh 4. Scarecrow 4. Lonesome Jubilee 4. Human Wheels |
