Sorry - I can't stand T. Rex!
This one didn’t cost that much, I have an original copy as well which probably sounds better but this one came to hand first.Quote:

Post Glasto maudlin', innit.
Another Sunday morning putting away the CDs from Saturday night's session (we have a rule of no vinyl with alcohol):
Elegant Weapons 'Horns For A Halo'
Joanne Shaw Taylor 'Songs From The Road'
Japan 'Exorcising Ghosts'
Subways 'Young For Eternity'
Romy 'Mid Air'
Deep Purple 'California Jamming'
According to David Grohl that is one of the most influential recordings of all time. Despite having a copy, I can't see it myself. But then what do I know?Quote:

I think they went more 'experimental' with their later recordings, so tomorrow I might revisit Pablo Honey or The Bends, which should be a bit more straightforward.Quote:

I discovered the duo Oh Wonder several yeas ago, and then kind of forgot all about them... This is their second album, having just played their 3 more recent albums, which I didn't know (from 2022, 2021, and 2020). Worth checking out if you like the "sound" of what they do and who they are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh_Wonder (I love the fact that they are now husband and wife, and also run a coffee shop in Peckham!)

Hell yeah, here we go.
One of the first albums I bought. Seem to recall that at the time it wasn't received as well as In The City but it's a step forward in songwriting.Quote:

Been a long time since I played this - almost spun it to death when it first came out - cracking album.
Great album, one of my favourites of his - although I lost track of him about 25 years ago now. I think 'Secret Story' was the last one I bought.Quote:

Much love for Black Sabbath today given the farewell event in Aston, but in the same year that Master Of Reality was released so was Sir Lord Baltimore's Kingdom Come. Creem magazine's review made what some believe is the first documented use of the term 'heavy metal' music.
