Classic. No-one ever seems to mention him but almost everything he did was genius. 'Back To The World' is my favourite.Quote:

They were proper beardy hipsters too, with the man bags and everything. I suppose that is the price you pay for living in the 'University Quarter.'
I doubt they care whether the records are crap, as long as they have one cool album on view next to the turntable - when chucked into their shelves they could be anything to a casual observer. It's all about "look at me".Quote:

Dr John - Zu Zu Man

This has to be one of the coolest BBC sessions Albums.
You can't say the Val isn't cool, his chair positively rocks, and don't get me started on those cardigans :)Quote:

Perfect for chilling out on a Sunday
All of the following have something in common, but I suspect only Martin (Macca) will make the connection.
Derek and the Dominos
The Strokes - 'Is this it'
The Ramones - 'Ramones'
Patti Smith - 'Horses'
Patti Smith - 'Easter'
Patti Smith - 'Radio Ethiopia'
The Clash - 'London Calling'
Bruce Springsteen - 'Born to Run'
Bruce Springsteen - 'Born in the U.S.A.'
Rolling Stones - 'Exile on Main Street'
Rolling Stones - 'Sticky Fingers'
Bob Dylan - 'Blond on Blond'
Beach Boys - 'Pet Sounds'
Van Morrison - 'Astral Weeks'
Ah - I did read his post - they were all in the YouTube video Martin posted about "overrated" albums.
I've got nine of those.
'Radio Ethiopia' has to be one of the worst things ever done by anyone ever but I think 'Horses' is pretty good.
Agreed, and whilst 'Horses' is not as bad as the guy made out, IMHO 'Easter' is her best by far, and a copy should be in everyone's collection.Quote:

Spoon - Lucifer on the Sofa
Never ceases to surprise me the number of bands and albums that feature on this this tread that I’ve heard of or heard, definitely getting old.
I'm assuming you mean bands and albums you've never heard of? I'm with you on that one Robin. So much music, so little time... in fact not really enough time to give what I have enough listening to :doh:Quote:

Don't be put off by the rather 'twee' cover. This is an excellent LP, but only if you are prepared to sit down and properly listen to the lyrics.
David Ackles - 'Subway to the Country'
David Ackles - 'American Gothic'
Steve, when i posted that comment , it was not for the first time that music being mentioned was stuff unknown to me “Spoon” being an example but recently there doesn’t seem to more appearing.Quote:
