Not seen that video, but have seen the chap dancing before. He's unreal, he looks edited somehow

Don't think I will ever get dub step though, give me some filthy D+B any day

I'm not a big drum n bass fan but that sounds quite good. I'll have a proper listen later in the week.

I recently found this YouTube remix of Puretone - Addicted to Bass. I liked the original 'pop' song but always felt it never quite reached its full potential and now finally years later someone has fixed it. 8)

The trailer for the computer game TrackMania has some good drum n bass in it too.

[Tear Drop]

No huge contemplation, a 5 minute scan of my collection (best not read on if you're not a mosher:

Sepultura - Beneath the Remains

Red HCP - Mother's Milk

Led Zeppelin 1

Angels and Airwaves - We Don't need to Whisper

The Police - Synchronycity

Carcass - Nectroticism

Metallica - Master of Puppets

Slayer - Hell Awaits

Death - Human

Goldfinger- Stomping Ground

Human is an awesome album, though my favourite Death has to be The Sound Of Perseverance (I have the red 'blood splatter' vinyl).

[mr malarky]

I think U2 are very patchy. The only U2 album I really love is 'Achtung Baby' which would probably just about make it into a top 50.

I agree that it's a few notches above their other stuff. I think U2 have on the whole produced post-punk rock that chugs along nicely enough musically but is marred by Bono's immense self-regard.

With 'Achtung Baby' for a brief moment the band was taken out of itself and into another place, whether under the influence of Lanois and Eno or because they were tapping into the edgy Berlin scene or perhaps because of the momentary appearance of a self-critical sense of humour on the part of His Bononess.

IMO it's a pretty good album by an otherwise average band. Even so, as an antidote I'd recommend a listen to Half Man Half Biscuit's most excellent album 'Achtung Bono'.

Matt

i'd say Zooropa is almost as good as Actung Baby (it's only the rather duff track 'Numb' that makes it inferior); the two are very much companion pieces and definitely represent the peak of their career musically speaking.

Glad you like it. I seem to remember it was a Spotify recommendation after playing Sabrina Malheiros' "New Morning", which I have on CD. If you like that genre, I'd also suggest Mayra Andrade's albums, "Navega" and "Studio 105", the latter is beautifully produced considering it's a live set. You really do feel like she's singing in your room. Not an unpleasant prospect in itself!

Agree with you TSOP is as good as Human (so are Ind Thought Patterns and Symbolic) and TSOP certainly the best produced. Heard three versions of Human yesterday, my original cd, and original and reissue on Spotify. Surprised to find I preferred original on Spotify to my cd. Reissue has too much bass in the mix, and a bit more than my cd on Spotify original version. Not heard any Death on vinyl, how do they compare can I ask?

 

[Leeps]

These ten for me:

- Billy Bragg: Life's a Riot with Spy versus Spy

- Radiohead: The Bends

- The Beatles: White Album

- Ryan Adams: Cold Roses

- Pixies: Death to the Pixies

- Nick Cave: The Boatman's Call

- Crowded House: Woodface

- Portishead: Roseland NYC Live

- Rodrigo y Gabriella: Rodrigo y Gabriella

- Tom Waits: Raindogs

Good choices, although my favourite Rodrigo y Gabriela album is 11:11 - mainly because it's slightly better produced than some of the others I've heard. As for Portishead, all their albums are epic, but the NYC Live one is spine tinglingly good.

 

[Leeps]

A slightly different angle... these are my current top 10:

London Grammar, If you leave

Emily Barker and the Red Clay Halo, Dear River

Smoke fairies, Through Low Light and Trees

First Aid Kit, Lions Roar

Lord Huron, Lonesome Dreams

Martha Tilston, Lucy and the Wolves

Alela Diane, About Farewell

Barnaby Bright, The Longest Day

Bon Iver, Forever For Emma Ago

Keaton Henson, Birthdays

These are albums never far from my CDP at the moment.

Love these. London Grammar's album is very strong isn't it - well produced, sung with emotion and at times, extremely haunting. Good choice.

 

[knaithrover]

Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan

Clear Spot - Captain Beefheart

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips

Abbey Road - The Beatles

Trompe Le Monde - The Pixies

Jehovakill - Julian Cope

The Soft Bulletin - The Flaming Lips

Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan

Rain Dogs - Tom Waits

IV - Led Zeppelin

Sure ive missed someting out and i cant believe i couldnt squeeze in Blood on The Tracks, Safe as Milk, Give em Enough Rope, Pet Sounds, Never Mind The Bollocks, Astral Weeks, Screamadelica (or Vanishing Point) After the Goldrush, The White Album (or Revolver) Hunky Dory, Diamond Dogs, Heroes, Closing Time...No Judee Sill or Leonard Cohen or acoustic Dylan .... man a top 50 would have been better

Cheers.

I've discovered so much wonderful music over the last few years, but London Grammar has to be close to being my favourite.

Please drop into the blog and see if you find anything else you may like.

Rain Dogs - Tom Waits

That's the third call so far for Rain Dogs. Ah, the genius of Mr Waits!

I was also considering Closing Time, The Heart of Saturday Night, and Swordfishtrombones. But Rain Dogs edged it and seems to be a popular choice.

:cheers:

Having grown a bit more mature and wiser I think I'll have to disagree with you now. When I was a teen I absolutely loathed The Joshua Tree and thought Achtung was the best thing they ever did. Decades later I've now changed my mind - if anyone's really honest here the 2nd half of Achtung is really not up to snuff and not memorable at all. The first-half is a thing of brilliance but as a whole Joshua is undeniably the better album.

Just like Radiohead, I mean I really like Kid A, but I think its sister Amnesiac is actually the more consistent album, but overall their true masterpiece remains OK Computer.

Pink Floyd - Animals - YES! If only cos many supposed Floyd fans dislike this album. What a bunch of muffins! This album is a howler! Kurt Cobain eat ****!!!!!!!!!! This is how it's done!

Rush - Signals

Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds (original version) - I loved it till Justin Hayward's stuff. After him it goes downhill. But then I haven't heard it in a while.

Anubian Lights - Naz Bar

Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear

Genesis - The Lamb Still gotta explore Peter Gabriel's Genesis. Which are the albums to get?

 

[jeff1967]

hi manicm,

all the PG era Genesis are great, i wouldn't really rate one above another. The Lamb has always been my favourite though.

 

[steve_1979]

- Rodrigo y Gabriella: Rodrigo y Gabriella

Such a good album. This one almost made it onto my list too.
