  1. I thought this was a top 5s thread?

    Here's mine anyway:

    1. Kraftwerk, Glasgow Academy 2004

    2. Public Enemy, Barras, 1990

    3. Stone Roses, Glasgow Green, 1990ish

    4. Dr Alimantado, Renfrew Ferry 2004

    5. The Selecter, Renfrew Ferry, 2004ish

    Hopefully all of the above will be eclipsed by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Electric Picnic in 10 days

    A fine choice Ally especially 1, 2 and 5 - top nights. B)

  2. Billy Joel's a feckin' great songwriter. Every bugger gets hung up on the pish that was Uptown Girl just the same way every bugger gets hung up on the "Genesis = Phil Collins = 80's ballad pish" pish.

    Trust me. I'm well aware that it's not cool to like such an artist but I've never tried to be cool. The Stranger is a great album and I got it at a time when I was blasting my heid aff with the likes of Maiden, Zeppellin, Sabbath and all that tends towards a true heavy metalness. It's still a favourite album and the older I've got the more I realised what some of the lyrics mean, in particular the songs Vienna (enjoy yersel noo an' again, it's no' illegal) & Movin' Out (knock yer pan in tae get a promotion, make money and then drap doon deid afore ye can spend it? Fúck that!).

    Honestly, big chap, trust me, trust me, trust me.

    No need to get your knickers in a twist now Howard. As of now I'll never say a bad word about Mr. Joel again......................honest :wink:

  3. That's a stick of celery to smack over the head of anyone that says There Is A Light That Never Goes Out is a work of genius. :rolleyes:

    Quite agree. Really can't stand that record myself, especially as it is yet anothe one of Mrs. Albrecht's play to death numbers.

  4. Songs in the Attic – Billy Joel

    It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back – Public Enemy

    Solid Air – John Martyn

    Meddle – Pink Floyd

    Live ’80-’86 – Joe Jackson

    What is this Billy Joel thing you've got going Howard..?? It ruins a fine selection...

  5. Don't Believe the Hype - Public Enemy.

    By the way, I've heard it said Tatu's version of How Soon... is actually pretty good. One of the few Smiths songs I find enjoyable.

    So enjoyable in fact, you carry a bunch of gladioli in your back pocket in case you ever hear it...... :rolleyes::P
