Truly great albums

[Crawliano]

Either of you heard the new one?

I'd rather not.

Always considered ACDC as one of those bands that you have to google the lyrics, as it's hard to understand what they're singing about.

"Let me put my love into you babe
Let me put my love on the line
Let me put my love into you babe
Let me cut your cake with my knife"

Back in Black, "Let Me Put My Love Into You Babe"

Simple, sensitive poetic beauty.

 

[Ailsa Road Shrimper]

Honestly, "Technique" by New Order is quality the whole way through.

Agree 100%, this is the best of many good New Order albums.

 

[Lemon Lyman]

I know its obvious as its their big album but I think they peaked with 'Takk'. Their string section are a band called Amiina who are all subtle beauty built around bowed saws, hand bells, sewing machines - well worth checkking out, as are another Icelandic band called Mum. Something in the water in that country.

Yeah Amiina is a good shout, Jonsi's solo stuff is a bit hit and miss (Go was good, riceboy sleeps again wasn't so good).
Another fine icelandic band is Leaves.

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Atom Heart Mother - Pink Floyd
Highway to Hell - ACDC

top of my head stuff but both very good albums

 

[MK Shrimper]

Paul Weller - Wild Wood. Playing it through now, not a single bad track on it.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Paul Weller - Wild Wood. Playing it through now, not a single bad track on it.

Ha!Not a good one you mean.I miss the Jam and Style Council though.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Ha!Not a good one you mean.I miss the Jam and Style Council though.

Nope, it's a seminal album. Brilliant all the way through and a definite highlight of a somewhat patchy solo career. :raspberry:

 

[Rob Noxious]

What is it with your family? Where you dropped on your heads as babies? It's an outstanding album.

Phil Burdett is better, Paul - like Nick Drake, he's not been celebrated enough in his own time but he certainly should be.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Paul Weller - Wild Wood. Playing it through now, not a single bad track on it.

Ha!Not a good one you mean.I miss the Jam and Style Council though.

I'm with MK here. Not sure how one can like The Jam and The Style Council and not like a single track from Wildo Wood.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

I'm with MK here. Not sure how one can like The Jam and The Style Council and not like a single track from Wildo Wood.

I saw The Jam a couple of times live(in London and here)back in the early days.Was also a huge SC fan and regret that I never got the chance to see them live.Sorry but I just find PW's solo stuff pretentious and over rated.He's played here quite often and I've always found it easy to resist his charms.
However,I will be going to see Richard Hawley(again)when he returns here at the end of October.Now he's a really gifted singer/songwriter.

 

[GIBBO]

Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction,

Greatest Debut Album ever and no filler!

AC/DC - Back In Black

Great Album and great way to rem Bon

AC/DC - Highway to hell

i prefer this to the above

Marillion - Mislpaced Childhood

Great Story Ablum

 

[united we stand]

Agree 100%, this is the best of many good New Order albums.

better than Substance????--yes I know its technically a best of 12 inch album but utterly brillant (got to see them again a couple of months back-supherb even if Bernards voice is now totally crap)

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Jeff Buckley - Grace.

 

[Dick Bate's Protege]

Van Morrison - Poetic Champions Compose

Please, no.

I always skip through the version of Confusion on there, it's appalling.

Also - on that basis you could say that "Retro" is a truly amazing album, all 5 discs of it. Technique is without a doubt NO's best album.

In terms of preference:

1) Technique
2) Republic
3) Lowlife
4) Brotherhood
5) PCL
6) Get Ready
7) Movement

Waiting for the Siren's Call doesn't count as it's utter, utter, utter gash.

Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs

:nope: Most of it is unlistenable!

:moon: I'll take that as a compliment coming from someone who suggested a U2 album. :winking:

Ah, but they were very very good once upon a time and the indiest of indie. Not the boorish megagroup that they are today.
