    I prefer Madonna's 'Something to Remember' album, more a collection of ballads. And that voice! She carries more emotion in a single note than a whole songful of Mariah Carey's up-and-down warbling.

    A couple of you include Third World's '96 Degrees in the Shade, not heard that but I'll put it on my Christmas list-I have 'Journey To Addis' on vinyl and love it.

    Kate Bush 'Aerial' is another favourite, and her recent live one 'Before the Dawn'. Most live albums are little more than a souvenir, but they really made an effort with this one.

    Also like a bit of Deadmau5, Prodigy 'Always Outnumbered' (not anyone else's favourite I know), The Orb's 'Ultraworld' album (good for clearing snow off the roof), and Orbital 'In Sides' for special occasions.

    Oh and Frank Zappa's 'Hot Rats' for when it's time for your visitors to leave.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
