band _ orbital
album_ leftfield – leftism
track_ prodigy – smack my bitch up
gig_ orbital @ galsto about ’98 or something?

Band – Queen
Album – Mister Bungle, self titled.
Single – Outer Space, Prodigy
Gig – Toots and the Maytals, Cambridge Junction last year.

Best band/performer and gigs – every time I’ve ever seen Talking Heads and more recently David Byrne on his own.

Best gig of last 12 months – amazingly the octogenerian Orquestra Buena Vista Social Club at WOMAD this summer – amazing because at this late stage in their lives, and with so much behind them, you’d never have guessed they could still have such edge.

Single (ever) – oh my god, tomorrow it might be different, but tonight it’s ‘Ain’t Nobody’ by Rufus and Chakka Khan.

Album (ever) – the same applies, but tonight it’s ‘Kind of Blue’ by Miles Davis.

okay, this is almost impossible to answer – tomorrows answer might be totally different – but here goes…

Band – mastodon
Album – mclusky / mclusky do dallas
Track – nomeansno / rags and bones
Single – therapy? / screamager
Gig – The Reverend Horton Heat / Blender Theatre, NYC

to answer emsz – no, the last 30 years worth of gigs haven’t been sh*te++, just that was the best one I can recall in terms of (a) line up (b) performance by all the bands and (c) the mates I was with.

The last gig* I went to was pretty good too, and that was only 4 months ago. Bet you can’t guess which band it was…

++ other than The Sisters Of Mercy at Leeds O2 a couple of years ago. that was pretty poor. big old uni reunion kind of made up for that one though!

* by a band other than my own 😉

saw Play Dead a few times too., they were well good

The Smiths
Dummy
Love will tear us apart
James Brown, 1986

I cant pin down an answer to the other three but my most favorite gig was NoFx at the carling academy, newcastle 2010.

Band, Pavement
Gig Pavement at Shepherds Bush early 2000’s or Muse in ChCh 2007
Album Definitely maybe, probably. Orbital In-sides, or The Ideal Crash dEUS.
Single No light no light F&TM or dEUS Instant Street

10 – like your style!

Emzs does raise a point….in that case…

Band: the Drums
Album: Metronomy The Bay
Single: villagers, the waves
Gig: Friends at the deaf institute

emsz – Member

I sort of feel sorry for people who’ve not been to decent gig since before I was born….

It’s 10 years since I saw my best show, but that doesn’t mean I’ve not seen a hell of a lot of great shows since. Only one can be the best, is all.

Band: Pavement (consistently great records).

Album: Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs.
Relationship Of Command by At The Drive-in has to get a mention because it’s the greatest production I’ve ever heard. All hail Ross Robinson.

Single: The Rat by The Walkmen

Gig: Six By Seven at King Tut’s (2001). Rival Schools at King Tut’s is a close second.

The rat by the walkmen!!!!!! Good call!!!!!

Best gig was Prodigy in Moscow ,Red square in 1997.Then saw Jean M Jarre the next day (not as good,then Pavorotti day after -pants)great week.Best single Blue Monday ,i still got 3 copies on 12″.

Today they are:

Band – Free
Album – The Who, Live at Leeds
Single – Will You, Hazel O’Connor
Gig – The Who at Charlton Athletic FC

possibly… 8)

PJ Harvey
Dry
Erm, The Cramps in brum

Band – Wedding Present (on the basis if I could only listen to one band for the rest of time it’d be them. They’re not technically the best, or have the best songs, but I couldn’t live without knowing I could dig out one of their albums to play)
Album – Hatful of Hollow
Single – Birthday by the Sugarcubes
Gig – Pixies at N’cle Uni, 1989
