Double Bowie for me too. Ziggy's a masterpiece and Moonage Daydream is probably my favourite song ever (especially the live Hammersmith version with Ronson absolutely fucking shredding). I prefer a few of his other albums over Hunky Dory, but I'd still rather listen to that than any of the others in this group.

I take it loads of you haven't heard Exile on main St?!

Exile on Main St is a great album, probably the Stones best.

 

Darkness on the Edge of Town is also a great album, Springsteen's return after a 3 year legal fight with Mike Appel over his contract.

 

Are You Experienced, for me, not Hendrix's best. That accolade goes to Electric Ladyland.

 

Hunkydory and Ziggy Stardust are two of my favourite albums with Ziggy just shading it.

Ha Ha. The Times style guide for journalists bans the use of the Sophie's choice metaphor but it does seem to have crept into common usage. 

I’ve never heard of “Sophie’s Choice”, what does it mean? 

 

Bollocks to The Times. Flicked through a copy once and it had adverts for The S*n.

Sophie was sent to Auschwitz with her children, a son and a daughter who was forced to choose which child lived and which one died.

A harrowing film Starring Meryl Streep.
