I thought this might be a fun little project/game/discussion.
Okay, we all know that Al doesn't really do thematic albums. It was pure coincidence that Straight Outta Lynwood wound up with a gangsta theme and a rap lead single. However, we can fix that.
The game: Make a theme album for Al. You can only work with what Al has given us on his 13 studio albums, and you have to follow what have (more or less) become his rules. Pick the title of one of the Al-bums, then pick and choose tracks from any of the studio albums. But the lead single has to be one of the real lead singles (although not necessarily the one from that album title) and the album closer has to be a real album closer. There has to be a half and half breakdown of parodies and originals, and there has to be a polka. Then justify your choices, explaining why your chosen tracks actually fit the theme suggested by the title. For example, if I were doing Alpocalypse, I might pick "One Of Those Days" because the world blowing up and everybody winding up dead is, yeah, pretty darn apocalyptic.
Ladies and gentlemen, start your remixmasters.
