Never tire of listing to these, great music and feel, and impeccably produced. Got the Goldring in for a change and it sounds great.

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!”

Probably one of those seminal albums of the early 80's that set the scene for new-wave and neo-psychedelia. I got this album when it came out before it hit the charts and played it a great deal in my VW split screen van used to go surfing in N. Devon every other week, their follow up album 'Heaven Up' is another great one. Another great album in a similar vain, of the time, is Teardrop Explodes - 'Kilamanjaro'.

In a similar vein to the above but a bit more obscure (and a lot better IMHO)...
Virgin Prunes - If I die, I die
1982
One of my favourite albums.
Fun fact - I think they used to be mates with U2 at school in Dublin.

I like Echo and the Bunnymen because they remind me of the Doors. They have a similar 'sound', though the poetry of the lyrics doesn't compare.
