Blimey! You know the ones, its been at the back of the cupboard for years, you play it and......BAM!
I'll start
Beck Odelay!
Can't believe how good it is, sure it was great 14 years ago but now playing it today I now realize just how 'progressive' it was...
Recently dragged out Roni Size - New Forms and Eels - Souljacker
Mercury Rev - All Is Dream (lost the cd for about 5 years, I love it)
Underworld - Second Toughest in the Infants
...and more recently the first 2 Kings of Leon albums, they've come a long way (unfortunately!)
Breakbeat Era / Kosheen / DJ Shadow / Motley Crue
Breakbeat Era / Kosheen / DJ Shadow / Motley Crue
dj shadow - endtroducing, smith and mighty, the the - soul mining. kosheens lead singer is a friend of ours!
TV on the Radio, Return to Cookie Mountain. Ace stuff.
chemical brothers were my favourite act when I was about 13, mostly I think because they were cool but not chart cool and you had to like a cool band when you were that age. Just started running more and wanted some beat heavy music, dug their first album and I'm sure its better now I can appreciate it more than just being cool!
Recently went back to Floodland, from the Sisters of Mercy. Wow.
tang is she a Bristol lass?
This Is The Sea by the Waterboys. Epic album, has taken me right back to the days of big 80s hair.
talking heads - remain in light
I can't believe it is still good. But it is.
Blood Sugar Sex Magic
One of the best albums of all time, which made their subsequent dirge even harder to accept
bassspine, I also recently went back to Stop Making Sense. Again, wow.
Steve Earle - Copperhead Road
Forgot Bauhaus, recently got it on CD, the scariest music ever for night riding.
Odelay is a great album.
I've been listening to The XX album last couple of days when I've been out on my bike. I really like it.
capt. F: I'll have to dig it out. it was a goody too.
yes, but from wales orig. she went out with my brother in law for years.
flash- still got floodlands on 45 somewhere, might have to dust it off!
Bentley Rythym Ace - For Your Ears Only.....
soundgarden. ultramega ok and louder than love
great stuff
First Aynsley Lister one. Bought it, listened a couple of times, put it away. Dug it out a few years later and it had somehow matured, like fine chocolate.
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Korpiklaani - Happy Little Boozer (just a song)
Poison - Poison
Maria Callas - everything released by EMI (have them all, great driving stuff)
The offspring, smash. Superb! Also maidens live after death, but to be honest that never gets put away 🙂
New Values -Iggy Pop.....nearly as good as Lust For Life.
ummm, not sure if I should admit to it, but...
Warrant, Cherry Pie
It makes me smile and reminds me of the bubble gum cock rock era!
Japan, adolescent sex, Glam+new romanticism
Aphix Twin, Selected Ambient works 85-92. Lo fidelity Allstars, How to operate with a blown mind. Both great 2 run or ride 2 !
Lofidelity Allstars, I need to get that again.
(had that on tape with Dos Dedos Me Amigos by PWEI on the other side...ooo, I need that as well)
Sabbath, Sabotage. Anything by them actually. He says as he watches AC/DC live at Donnington... After being a metal kid I went around the houses but now firmly back on 'old school' metal. Priest's British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance are also been played lots.
Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
Awesome stuff.
The Doors, Listened to the first album again after 25years and just bought all the original albums on CDs on ebay.
Scarily I too looked out Odelay 3 nights ago for the car , played Novocaine at 17 on the stereo ( i don't even know how loud it goes but thats about 4 louder than anything else iv'e ever had on) Prior to that it was Repeater by Fugazi, hadn't played that in its entirity for probably 5 years. also very loud in the car.
both blinding albums from my mid 20's.
Elastica - Elastica
De La Soul - 3 Feet High And Rising
The Verve - Urban Hyms, fantastic album that.
three oldies I dug out last night:
smashing pumpkins - siamese dream
spiritualized - laser guided melodies
joey beltram - classics
2nd coming by the Stone Roses. Got new speakers and amp and for some reason it was the 1st CD that I wanted to put on.
Elbow - Leaders of the free world
First Aynsley Lister one. Bought it, listened a couple of times, put it away. Dug it out a few years later and it had somehow matured, like fine chocolate
Aynsley rocks. Seen him live a few times now and just gets better and better 8)
He's also pretty hot too 😉
Got some vinyl out of the loft recently, looking forward to hearing some "interesting" stuff. Hopefully record player will work 🙄
Just chilling listening to the Pharcyde... I do love my old skool hip hop.
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime, pure brilliance!
Yossarian - I have dug out Lazer Guided Melodies also. It is briliant.
Led me then to my Spacemen 3 albums.
Not an album, but listened to Pearl Jam - Jeremy at the weekend. Took me right back, I need to get that album again.
Coldcut - Journeys by DJ
Apollo 440 - Electro Glide in Blue
FSOL - Lifeforms
All still brilliant.
