Yes, but it's how you handle the rebuff that shows true class JD.

"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!?"

I know, it was probably a rare class-free moment. The glass is half-full in my world most of the time though.

Southerner? where I come from Woking was considered dangerously northern.

 

[mr malarky]

2000.. BT - Movement in Still life

Good choice sir!!!

 

[mr malarky]

'80s/ The Cure - Disintegration

Another great choice - 'Disintegration' was my second choice for the 80's.

 

[wilsmusic]

All this is based on the records i was most passionate about during the decade...rather than with the benefit of time, which would be a little different

70's - PIL - metal box

80's - Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden

90's - my bloody valentine - loveless OR Boards of Canada - music has the right to children

2000's - Cinematic Orchestra - Everyday OR Fourtet - Rounds

10's - Radiohead TKOL RMX - but basically impossible to choose given how much music I am now listening to!!!

 

[ROTH AV]

70s - Bill Withers - Live At Carnegie Hall

80s - The Clash - Sandinista (London Calling doesn't qualify by one month )

90s - Sade - Lovers Rock

00s - Terry Callier - Timepiece

 

[audioaddict]

sam cooke live at harlem square 1963.............ike and tiner turner live at carniege hall 1971.......... queen live at wembley 1986 ...............creed human clay......... probably many others

 

[crusaderlord]

This is a fun post ....and tough to decide - i may as well do every decade but trouble is my opinion changes ...

60s - Dusty Springfield, Dusty In Memphis

70s - Genesis, Trick of the tail

80s - Gary Numan, Telekon

90s - Depeche Mode, Ultra

00s - Kate Bush, Aerial

10s - Lissie, Catching a Tiger

Small point - the current decade still has a while to go so it's a bit hard to nominate a favourite album .

OK 10's thus far then... or see you in 7 years!

Was released in Jan '80 in the US, which is why it's 'square pegged' into my 80s list :shifty:

Ya can't beat Aussie logic.

Babylon's Burning - now that's what I call a riff :rockout:

The whole album is full of riffs. These boys could really play, and for anyone who loves rock, I totally recommend it.

Try tracks like "Savage Circle", "Something That I Said", "Criminal Mind", and of course, "Babylon's Burning" on Spotify, then you'll want the whole album.
