I finally got one of my favourite songs ever on vinyl, this relatively recent release - 2011 I discovered on the BBC Adam Curtis docu 'Bitter lake'. Look it up on Youtube, it's awesome.

Hi everyone. Are you all going to be rushing out to buy the songs of the newly signed musical sensation, namely "noonoouri?" warner bros, (I'm not even gong to write their name with a capital letter) the multi-million dollar music company have just signed her, or should i say him, or should i say that, or should i say what ??????? This is what so-called music has now become; no instruments, no bands, no skill, no talent just a fkn joke and a fkn insult to music artists that have gone before!!!!! So, all you musicians, stop wasting your time buying instruments and learning your craft, go buy a computer and study A.I.
DISGRACEFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry its off topic but i felt i had to rant over this !!!!!!!!!!
I'm NOT a Southpark fan but my son just enlightened me to Season 18 of the series (where the character Randy Marsh is secretly popstar "Lorde", using his computer to create music and pretend to be the female popstar) which showed me how, even back then, the makers of Southpark predicted the sorry decline of the music industry in the future - although actually it was quite amusing but, ironically and sadly, it's come true!!!!!!

LISTENING TO THIS MAKES ME REALISE WHY I POSTED MY RANT EARLIER; THIS IS A SUPERB ALBUM BY A SUPERB BAND!!!!
Which rant was that? Much of your posts come across as rants! ;)
Nonetheless a good choice, as is almost anything by The Who. :)
:lol: YES, THE BOLD, COLOURED, OVERSIZE CAPITAL LETTERING ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH MY POSTS !! (No rant intended) :thumbsup: :)Quote:

Great album! Then again, it has to do with Clint Eastwood, so it would be nothing but excellent anyway!

Just started listening to this artist today. Really good music and wonderful voice! Recording quality is also pretty good.

I could never afford those albums when they came out, £17.99 each! I waited ten years but they never came down in price, never on sale. When I started working in sales I had a bit of money for the first time ever so went in HMV and had a major splurge, spent about £300 and got both of them despite the price.
Go in there two weeks later and they are reduced to £9.99. I swear they were just waiting for me to buy them at full price before they did that.

After Walter Becker died I continued to listen Donald Fagan and "The Nightfly", but quickly lost interest in his later output.
I THINK IT'S TIME TO GET EM OUT AND GIVE EM A SPIN - THEY'VE BEEN SITTING THERE WAITING A LONG TIME FOR YOU !!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:Quote:

Had some free time this afternoon, so played both albums start to finish. I really couldn't pick an easy favourite, The 2 albums could have been shuffled without changing much. I think perhaps I used to prefer 1 as it had more songs I knew and so was more "accessible". But now I think 2 just edges it for me.
And no complaints from Mrs. P, she's still buzzing from her "rock weekend" :)
I see that they can now be bought together, but my separate ones were made in 1991, which if I understand Macca correctly, should be the ones to have...
Great to hear you've finally played em!!!! Myself,I cant really choose one over the other, they are both excellent. I'm Glad to hear Mrs. P's still buzzing from her "rock weekend" - sounds about right to me. Long live rock !!! :lol: :thumbsup:Quote:

This album released in 1992 was nominated for 6 Grammy's wining Best Female Pop Performance for Constant Craving. The album sold Platinum in New Zealand and the UK whilst going double Platinum in Australia, Canada and the US.
The songs, arrangements, musicianship, engineering and vocals are sublime.
