Music Babble

For me, it's almost the entire first half of the second CD (on most recordings) of Handel's Messiah. I've heard this music a million times but I mostly can never remember most of the stretch between "He Trusted in God" and "How Beautiful are the Feet" (exclusive).

Just thinking about parts of an album (or at least of some greater work) that are a giant mystery to you after playing.

Jesus & Mary Chain - Honey's Dead: everything except for "Reverence" (an obstacle fatal to an attempted discography run in days past)

The Who - Sell Out: everything after "I Can't Reach You" (I do remember it being as great as everyone says, so maybe the fault is mine.)

Mendelssohn - any of the Songs Without Words after the very first one

Fletcher Henderson - any given compilation (Ken Burns for me): These are great when they're on but I can actually remember maybe five or six of the tracks, if that.

Telemann - entire output
