Random musical chat.

Thought it might prove interesting to put a few things out there and just see where it takes us. Like I said, random.

 

Sugar's Copper Blue is one of the best pop albums ever recorded.

 

Karate are one of my favourite bands and they should have been massive.

 

As much as I love Radiohead, I still find Kid A unlistenable.

 

Dave Gilmour's 2nd solo in Comfortably Numb (from Floyd's live Pulse album) is the greatest guitar solo ever.

 

The Police's best song is The Bed's Too Big Without You.

 

Shane MacGowan is a brilliant singer.

 

Metallica would be a far better band without both Kirk and Lars.

Link Wray's "Law of the jungle" album is one of the great rock n roll records of all time and "Good Rockin Tonight" should of made him a big star.

I need to broaden my musical horizon a bit, ive become a right fucking snob to stuff i like and rarely give new things a go 

[Spy Bee 3,535]

I once bought an album you could loosely describe as jazz. I really liked it. He's dead now. Sean Costello.

Mirror in the bathroom does it for me everytime. I wore that 45 out.

[Boss 8,229]

Kid A is unlistenable, no arguments there.

[Carvalho Diablo 17,158]

The first album I bought was The Boomtown Rats' "Fine Art of Surfacing". Still a great lp that one.

 

The first single was The Jam's "Going Underground".

Oh, I think Monty might disagree mate.

 

Link Wray ? Will have to give that one a listen.

[Bjornebye 34,357]

First album I bought was whats the story morning glory

 

 

..... the first single was 'i swear' by all for one.

I loved the Beat.  

[Carvalho Diablo 17,158]

I think Ben E King's "Stand By Me" is possibly the best pop song ever written.

 

Tears For Fears "Everybody Wants To Rule The World", Blondie's "Union City Blue", General Public's "Tenderness" and Katy Perry's "Firework" are all great pop songs.

[stringvest 14,265]

There are more than half a dozen Elvis Costello albums which are quite brilliant in different ways.  I don't know anyone else from this country, apart from the Beatles, who can lay claim to such a large canon of quality material.  

[El Rojo 10,880]

Scott Walker's Scott 4 is possibly the greatest LP of all time. Peerless.

Omar?

[Carvalho Diablo 17,158]

Scott Walker's Scott IV is possibly the greatest LP of all time. Peerless.

 

Ashamed to say I've never even heard of it. Will have to check that out mate.

Can't go with that, but he is a bona fide genius.   Mad as a wet hen.  Have you heard his latest one, out this week?  Fucking hell.

[Carvalho Diablo 17,158]

Nirvana's best album (by a mile) is In Utero.

[stringvest 14,265]

Omar?

 

I luuurve Omar.   He is cool personified.

I don't rush to buy his newer stuff to be honest. Bought The Drift a few years back and couldn't even give it a full listen. Fair play to him though for still pushing the sonic boundaries rather than cashing in on his '60s fame.

You won't regret it. And with you on In Utero. What a production/recording from Albini. Serve The Servants still floors me every time.

this is better than the Drift - funnily enough I had the Drift on last week while doing something else; it's really barking.  

[kalasoma 1,350]

I loved the Beat.  

 

Two-tone was staple fare growing up.

Must throw on The Drift again one of these evenings, if only to annoy the dog.

[Carvalho Diablo 17,158]

Just had a listen to "The Old Man's Back Again". No wonder Stringy likes him...

Omar?

 

Oh yes.
