One of my favourite albums - some amazing tracks on it, and the sound is brilliant - love it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANTAN Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I feel so old that this is actually old but 50 Cent - Get Rich Or Die Tryin' - 100% in my personal top 5 albums ever made. Think there's a huge shout for top 3 rap albums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 "Look What The Rookie Did" by Zumpano is a lost power pop classic. Released on Sup Pop in 1995, it's like a long lost twin of The Zombies 1968 masterpiece "Odessey & Oracle". This long forgotten band went on to become the mildly more successful The New Pornographers. I worked in a record shop in Edinburgh when this came out and got a promo of this that I played to death. I hadn't listened to this in about 20 years. I don't listen to this sort of thing too much now but this still sounds pretty good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Listening to "Come On Pilgrim" by Pixies. It's easy to forget how much this band changed the landscape if you haven't listened to them for a while. There can't be too many records from 1987 that sound like they could have been released last week. A measure of how much I enjoyed listening to it is that I have stuck "Surfer Rosa" on as soon as it was finished. There's a very good chance that "Doolittle" will follow.

Paul Kersey Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Does 2007 count as "old"? Anyway I'm currently listening to B/E/A/T/B/O/X by Glass Candy. A decent album even though it's about as "hipster" as it gets. Edited August 8, 2021 by Paul Kersey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the greatest albums of all time IMO. There was a doc on Sky Arts about Transformer last week. Its years since I listened to it in full but there are some cracking tracks on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Olivia Tremor Control were part of The Elephant 6 collective, a bunch of like minded friends based in Athens, Georgia and active in the 90's. Other groups involved were the better known Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples In Stereo and Of Montreal along with lesser known gems like The Minders and Beulah. All shared a love of 60's pop shrouded in lysergic, scuzzy guitars. OTC were probably the most overt in their Beatles influences. "Dusk At Cubist Castle" is their masterpiece, a 27 track, 74 minute double album of magnificent pop songs coupled with experimental sound collage. It's an album that ages like a fine wine and no matter how often you dig it out, you always find something new within its grooves. A cult classic and an essential listen for anyone with a passing interest in mid to late period Beatles, 60's psych in general or more modern cosmonauts like Gorky's, SFA or Mercury Rev. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 f**k it, I might as well post this here too. I listen to Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing all the time, but until recently I hadn't listened to this in a long time for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 My local radio was playing Safe European Home so I plan to listen soon to Give em enough rope. I remember hearing it for the first time, John Peel played Side 1 in full followed the next night by Side 2. So different from the first album, most of my friends hated it but I quite liked it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kersey Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I've been giving Iggy Pop - New Values a spin. It's his 3rd solo album and the first that he released without David Bowie. It's kinda hit or miss. There's a couple of standout tracks, including this one here, with some suitably bonkers lyrics... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd long since disappeared over the horizon by then. (Floyd, that is, not your parents, hopefully). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
