Groundhogs.

Split.

Classic :D

I'll get me walking stick.

Thanks to my father, I rediscovered Status Quo.....

Fantastic stuff.... "Burning Bridges" rules!!!!!

Talk on corners,or indeed anything else by The Corrs is $hite.And thats not my opinion-thats a fact.

big up sunday driver lol!
do any of you lot listen to anything remotely "underground"? or do you just leave that to musical snobs and nu-jazz wankers like myself! ;)

sorry but most of the main stream bores me to tears, as yet another overpaid producer presents reivented pop (pap??) as being at the cutting edge of music- go and buy yourself the "jazzanova" album "in between" for christ sakes! or Joseph Malik - any one heard of him?
all IMHO of course and not flaming anyone, i know how sensitive people can be about music! and i do love pink floyd esp dsotm - FAB one of my all time greats, chilli's aint to bad either.

I got Beth Orten's Central Reservation at the weekend having never heard it before. What a great album ! Also got Lifehouse - No Name Face, TOP


WizzBang

I'm quite happy to listern to most types of music, providing it's well done. Although country + western? never, ever will i understand.
The albums which i played to death after not expecting to like are Joni Mitchell - Hissing of Summer Lawns and Kate Bush - Never Forever, both great!

since buying an mp3 disc player for the car i have been rediscovering all sorts but by far the best is The Red Album by Grand funk Railroad.
had never heard of them till someone played me "inside looking out" about ten years ago.

been downloading all my old ac/dc albert productions import albums as well Classss stuff.

Let me furnish you with some of the best top tips you'll get this century: -

PURESSENCE - Only Forever: 'It doesn't matter anymore' is one of the best tracks ever made IMO.

ELO - Discovery: 'I need her love', WOW! Not a dry eye in the house...

DAVEY ARTHUR & THE FUREYS - Best Of: Especially on Remembrance Day, 'The Green Fields of France' is a magical ballad about WWI.

EMINEM - Slim Shady LP: if you've never heard 'Guilty Conscience' then get ready to hear about moral dilemmas in real life today...

If you want variety, come and see my CD collection - from Rolf Harris and Burt Bacharach to Breakbeats and Thrash...

Ain't life's tapestry rich!

Pulp, His n Hers
Blur, Modern Life is Rubish
Sleeper, Smart
Carter USM, 30 Something

Stick them on and I'm back in Leeds at Uni. Tear in the eye job ;)

Steve

I agree totally, the RHCP's are awesome :D
I have a couple more albums to get before I have the full collection :D

Soooo sorry.... ;)

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

However anyone who has never heard Albatross by Fleetwood Mac need to know that it is, simply, the best instrumental of all time .... do yourselves a favour and go get it!! :D

Pete

Cool thread!

Just listened to the Black album by Metallica for the first time in about 6 years. Listened to it to death when it first came out(got to the stage when hearing the opeining chords to Enter Sandman would have me screaming). Album still sounds incredible.

And IMHO has the best guitar solo of all time on it - namely Unforgiven.:)

DP.

Had a copy of 'Play' by Moby in my CD collection for years. Listened to it for the first time a few months back. Niiiiiice :)

Joolz
"Moby you can get stung by Obi" - WTF!:rolleyes:

Aerosmith -'Pump'

:D

steve sherwen,
carter 30 something is an absolute classic! as is blur, modern life is rubbish.
reminds me of my days as a skateboarding youth!

Bought Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys a couple of years ago, couldn't believe how good it is, an all time classic :)

1.KLF :"Chill out"
2.Tangerine Dream: "Through Metophorpic Rock".. (Got to be spelt wrong!!)
3.Joan Armatrading.: "Love and Affection"
4. AC/DC :"Razor edge"

Yeah, I put Carter USM in the casette deck last night, must be 7-8 years since I last heard it, very good then came out the smathing p's - disarm and then Whiskeytown - Pneumonia, which I brought and never really listened too good stuff.

My tape of East Side Story by Squeeze surfaced again the other week. It really took me right back to my teenage years and it still sounds great.

Niel Young - After the goldrush
Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
Van Morrison - Moondance (single)
Metallica - Garage Days revisited EP
Brian May/Eddie Van Halen - Starfleet project EP (B side)

too many to mention, but timeless none the less.

Wow, music fans on SN shocker!!

I listened to this album for weeks in the car after I passed my test. I need to dig it out again and have a listen. 101 damnations is also a top Carter album, the later ones perhaps not so good. I've got most of their singles as well (yes, I know, sad) of which the best has to be 'The only living boy in New Cross'.

Anyway, other favourites from the past -

Paul Simon - Graceland
Tracy Chapman - Crossroads (How obvious!)
Dire Straits - Love over Gold / Alchemy
Genesis - Duke / Genesis / Invisible Touch
Happy Mondays - Pills, thrills and bellyaches
Lenny Kravitz - Mama Said / 5
REM - Automatic For the People

2 Many DJs

Would add some Springsteen to this list too..

Darkness On The Edge of Town
Nebraska

On a totally different vein I loaded up the Scoob with some old New Order CD's I'd not had on for ages the other day and they still sounded great.

Agree Chillis new one is great but also love the old stuff.
Love "Alive" as well - one heluva track - used to listen to that in Sauze, a ski resort in Italy where I lived for 2 seasons. Also used to play Rage, "killing.." on the way to work (ski shop) in a friends Fiat camper van! QUALITY!
Level 42's old albums are superb, especially like Something about You and lessons in Love.
Some of Prince's old stuff is good - Sign of the Times.

Now I listen to a lot of deep house etc. If anyone want's some seriously good listening try ANYTHING on the HED KANDI label www.hedkandi.com - especially Disco House and Chill stuff. Also St Germaine, Pork Recordings and Groove Armada's new CD, LOVEBOX is doing it!!
Mossman
:)

TelBoy,

Go and discover Green Day's early stuff - Kerplunk and Dookie are superb. I've been burning all my CD's for my new in-car MP3 player, so I've been re-discovering all these old favourties :)

I would have to question whether the likes of Enya, Jean Michelle Jarre or Foreigner are ever worth discovering though :rolleyes:

My m8 was (and sadly still is) into West Coast American Rock. Being subjected to the likes of Heart is no way to treat another human being ;)

Stefan

Has anyone mention the Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bollocks or Pretty Vacant?

And if you like Pearl Jam, then what about The Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness - classic.

Stefan

Sugar - Copper Blue

Excellent!!!!!


what about the Wonderstuff - Hup and Eight Legged Groove Machine

There was a time when Stourbridge ruled the Indie charts

Wonderstuff
PWEI
NEDS Atomic Dustbin
