an eclectic mix...........

I detect a theme......

but personally prefer :

Led Zepp 4 - surely their finest album ?
Deep Purple - Masters of Rock
Uriah Heep - Demons & Wizards
The Who - Who's Next
Stones - Goats Head Soup

I'm surrounded by old farts and hippies...

Rain

ah yes,the good old days when men were men and Trinity had a half decent side

congratulations you just won first prize which this week is a weekend in Workington



second prize is a whole week in the fair town..........

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden.

Nice....

Says the guy from the 80's, can you still get tapes for your Walkman?

Great band who only seem to get recognition for their 'It's my Life' single. I picked up The Party's Over, It's My Life, The Colour of Spring, Spirit of Eden and the Asides Besides compilation for £20 off ebay. A deal, a steal.

Sure can - there's no school like the old school!

Anyone like Buckethead?

'Population override.' Great guitar album, having already proven he's the fastest and most noisiest he shows just how good a guitarist he really is with some tortured 'blues' and genres that echo 'Jazz' and 'Funk.'

You can always tell who a great guitarist is by 'when' they drop the big artificial harmonic.

If I may chip in?

AC/DC ..... Black Ice.
Pink Floyd ..... Darkside of the moon.
Meat Loaf .... Bat out of hell
E.L.O. .... Out of the blue.
Steve Earle ... Copperhead Road.
Sigue Sigue Sputnik .... Flaunt it.
George Thorogood,
and the Destroyers .... Taking care of business.
The Who ..... Whos next.

Good call! Not that well known over here, but supported the Stones in '81 and played on Live Aid!

fwiw i am going to have to join in.....

i am going to avoid the obvious "compilations" such as queens greatest hits and aerosmith big ones and go for proper albums...

the jeff healey band - hell to pay
guns and roses - appetite
rolling stones - let it bleed
iron maiden - number of the beast
gary moore - blues alive
eric clapton - journeyman
john lee hooker - the healer
thunder - back street symphony

it really depends upon the mood i am in.....

Great call - not my usual cup of tea, but I've loved Steve Earle for donkeys years.

Just had a text from a mate who's at Glasto - just seen BB King and about to watch Morrissey; barsteward.

There is a point where naff becomes cool - he may have found it!

He may have turned over Heaven 17, The Human League, Japan, and Gary Numan to look for it.

I can't believe I'm the only person on here who surfed the New Romantic zeitgeist; you people are a bunch of prog rock beardy-weirdys.

Hey, I gave you Talk Talk before (although I preferred them in their later earth-loving hippy phase).

Just discovered something I never knew existed - part 1 of the 2 part "Smash it up" by the Damned... Wonderful stuff.

Talk Talk are brilliant. One of my dads favourites and a guilty pleasure for a 21 year old like myself.

Never mind Talk Talk - given your user name, sig and avatar, I'd have thought you would be firmly on my side; without the White Duke, there would have been no new romantic movement!

I feel like someone's stuck a pin in my balloon.

Take that Grandad!

There was no need for one. Bowie ticked all the androgeny experiment boxes. What came after were just a cheap imitations.
