tongue_tied_danny Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I'm giving Lou Reed's Rock 'n' Roll Animal a listen. I can't think of many better live albums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I've had De La Soul's Bulhoone Mindstate in the car for a couple of months now. Probably half the tracks are absolute class and there are no real duffers. Because it was so unfashionable at the time it doesn't sound too dated like some other stuff from almost thirty years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 REM - Green I'm listening to this for the first time in decades. The US election made me think of World Leader Pretend. I'm having flashbacks to listening to this while playing Turbo Esprit on my Spectrum in my bedroom as a 13 year old in 1989. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REMs last good album imo. Gave this a listen about a year ago and was surprised by the number of songs i'd forgotten about but still knew the words to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I'm rocking out to Disintegration by The Cure right now. Another album that loved when I was 13. I remember listening to this on my Walkman while delivering the Evening Tele'. The album hasn't aged at all. It still sounds fresh with a good mix of accessible pop songs and gloomier, introspective tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Been revisiting "Hot Dreams" by Timber Timbre from 2014. A bit of a forgotten gem. Like Lambchop made an album with Broadcast and got David Lynch to produce it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, REM had several solid releases among their post-Green output, with one truly excellent album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree. Out of Time certainly solid, Automatic For The People is a great record and New Adventures is very good. Honorary mentions for Up and Reveal. Both decent records. Monster and Around The Sun can get tae. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Ride were massive in the early 90s. Had this lp and going blank again on cassette. Good music to zone out to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Malcolm McLaren - Duck Rock He's only really remembered for managing The Sex Pistols. It often forgotten that he brought out a couple of albums in his own name. Duck Rock was released in 1983 and is an interesting mash up of early hip hop and world music. Pretty decent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Not really revisiting this album. Just met it for the first time. "Visions Of The Country" by Robbie Basho is an album that I've heard mentioned in hushed tones a few times down the years but never got round to listening to. It was released in 1978 but this is completely irrelevant as it could have come out in any year from about 1950 onwards. Basho, along with John Fahey was the prime exponent of the American primitive guitar movement that combines astonishingly technical country blues fingerpicking with Indian classical music. Combine this with an incredible tremulous voice pitched somewhere between Tim Buckley and Antony. I dipped into it online a couple of weeks ago, bought a reissue of it last week and am now utterly obsessed by it. Not for everyone, but if it does grab you, it won't let go. I cannot recommend it highly enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheep62 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The Cars, self titled debut album from back in 1978 still gets a regular listen from me. The first three tracks are such a strong opening to the album and bizarrely all three are timed at 3 mins 44 seconds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that their lamest track is the one that their best known for... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Under your Thumb and wedding Bells, which are both pretty good, but the rest of it does kind of backup the theory tht these two were just a little bit up themselves. Clever stuff in places, but not a great listen. Gouldman is definitely a legend. He seemed to be mass writing hits for others in the 60s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
