Two fine bands that I have yet to explore as thoroughly as I would wish



Helloween... come on, we're allowed our guilty pleasures

I like OTT guitars and Andy Deris' wailing vocals. As it happens I also like Freedom Call - disgustingly cheesy but oh so fun.

Led Zepp - Led Zepp 1V
Carol King - Tapestry
Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Alice Cooper - Schools Out
Floyd - Dark Side

if you will accept an entry from an oldie

I listened long houres to...


Hergest Ridge - Mike Oldfield
Journey to the Centre of The Earth - Rick Wakeman
Futuristic Dragon - Bolan and T Rex
Replicas - Tubeway Army
Kimono My House & Propoganda - Sparks
Never for Ever - Kate Bush

Definitely Maybe - Oasis
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
All Change - Cast

A guilty pleasure - when I was a black jeans and army boots thrash metal kid, you were still allowed to like this album; 20 years on, my 12 year old is learning Welcome to the Jungle for his Grade 3 guitar exam.

I'm getting old.

Like some modern stuuf but not enough to list it

I will give you that one. Class album.

First album I ever bought with my own money!

Good purchase, mine was Out of the Blue by ELO which I still like.

Mine also, spooky, first 7" was town called malice and first cd Single was everlasting love by Sandra (I have a little bit of sick now thinking about that) first cd album was inxs kick. First gig, Madonna! How bad is that.

Usually changes hands for decent money on Ebay.

You still have it?

The Undertones. By. The Undertones

IIRC the first 7" single I bought was Toni Basil - Mickey!

Not a chance and even if I did I wouldn't be making it public!Can't believe I forgot all change by cast, only listened to it last week, the nearest we got another "the Who"

Shame!

Cast, great choice. Walkaway is an amazing song!

Our walls for me. But not a bad one on the album.

I loved that song, largely because of the hot cheerleaders in the video.

My first single was Denis by Blondie; I've been in love with Debbie Harry for the subsequent 32 years or so - she doesn't return my calls.

To be fair I'm not keen on the song nowadays.
Her album Word of mouth is actually really good, Mickey is the worse song on it IMO.

Nobody (the flop follow up to Mickey) is pretty darn good!!

The Clash-London calling
Stone Roses-Stone Roses
The Kinks-The Kinks are the village green preservation society
Ash-1977
Oasis-Definately maybe.
The Cribs-Ignore the ignorant
U2-War
Ramones-Road to ruin
My chemical romance-Black parade
Green day-Dookie
Sex pistols-Never mind the bol****
Heartbreakers-LAMF
Peter Frampton-Frampton comes alive
The Who-Who's next
Boston-Boston
Vaccines-What did you expect from the vaccines?

Guilty pleasure....Adam and the ants-Kings of the wild frontiers

.
First 7".Frank Sinatra-My way,from Celias in Normy.
First CD bought,blue Nile-Walk across the rooftops.

My top 5 in no particular order:

REM - Automatic for the People
Robert Miles - Dreamland
Blur - Parklife
Crowded House - Together Alone
ABC - The Lexicon of Love

Trevor Horn's masterpiece of pure pop perfection.

I play it every Saturday morning when I get up and pretend I'm a yuppie from 1982!

REM - Out of time
Black Eyed Peas - Elephunk
Saw Doctors - Further Adventures & If this is Rock n Roll i want my old job back (couldnt decide!!)
Queen - A night at the opera
Keane - Hopes and Fears
Stone Roses - Stone Roses
Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
The Smiths - Louder than Bombs (A bit of a cop out)

Yep I nearly went for that as my choice of early 80's polished pop (before it got to daft). I just felt Spandau Ballets True was a little more honest being mainly the band rather than the producers masterpiece.
