I personally think TYM drag the others down just slightly, though it's still a great album. But if one is to go by your rules, 4 first albums of a rock artist I must say EC wins in my book. Close though are Roxy Music's and Talking Heads' first four. However if we were to change the rules to "4...

Ugh. I did I google search for Scorpions Virgin Killer Censored. Urgh.

Surely you must mean the uncensored version being the worst?

Urgh, if had to pick two regular studio-albums of his to throw in the garbage these two would be it :lol: I really dislike Spike. I really really REALLY dislike Spike. The biggest problem is the production, everything sounds very bloated and I can't stand it. The brass sound especially makes me feel...

Haha! I was about to back up Blue on posting the terrible Surprise cover but was then reminded of the Prince cover. Urgh 2000!

The Eno/Cale album is also real ugly, thankfully the new reissue is slightly less so.

Really? Which one?

Out of topic, but saving on starting a new thread just for a simple question. I'm certain I read somewhere on these boards that Squeeze's catalogue was being reissued with bonus discs. Can't find anything about it on google though. Was I dreaming?

Favourite: I Stand Accused The rest, in chronological order: Roadette Song (from TYM bonus disc) My Funny Valentine (from AF bonus disc) I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down Getting Mighty Crowded (from GH!!! bonus disc) Gloomy Sunday (from Trust bonus disc) He's Got You (from AB bonus disc) World Of ...

I think IP was his last great one too.

I think Who's Left is just brilliant. I swear I'll buy the album if that's what they name it (but I won't guarantee I'll listen to it)

R.I.P, Syd

Otis, I'd be happy to hear just the highlights from Heaven Up Here, especially Show Of Strength .

I have only heard Heaven... and Ocean Rain. I must say I didn't care that much for the latter in the end despite a few very nice songs. Perhaps I will check out Crocodiles instead.

The european athletics championships are being held in Gothenburg (Sweden) this year, which is where I live. Several interesting bands (mostly Swedish) are playing. I just noticed Echo & The Bunnymen are playing too :D No idea if they're any good live. I think the concert's free but shall not mi...

This was never a favourite Roxy-album of mine but listening to it again in its entirety I can say it's atleast pretty damned good. Includes Love Is The Drug which is sadly what most people will think of when they hear of Roxy Music.

There were many bands I missed. Would've wanted to see Primal Scream, Silver Jews etc.

I'm back from the festival. I clumsily forgot to save your number before going, V.O. I tried looking for a guy with beard and glasses at the Dylan concert (at least that's how I seem to recall you looking) but there were too many ;). Was hard finding a spot for tents once we arrived but we found one...

I'm going through a forkin' stress nightmare 'bout this! I'm going to Roskilde tomorrow, I bought second-hand tickets from a guy who'd changed his mind about going. He sent the tickets yesterday in time for them to be shipped here by today. When I got home I was horrified when I found the mailbox em...

I have no idea where I'll be, but how can I reach you once I'm down there? I'll arrive on wednesday.

How's the weather? It's pouring like crazy up here which has me slightly worried.

V.O - I'm 90% certain I've got a ticket. I'll be leaving wednesday morning. Let me know if you want to have a beer sometime. Though I suppose that you won't be going alone either and it does seem like a strange thing to tell your friend "I'm going to meet up with a random guy from the internet!...

V.O - Still looking for a ticket. But the problem is getting one at a good price rather than getting one at all. People are selling them for twice, but usually more, the price of the original.

Yes, most likely. If I can get a ticket.

Just curious, is anyone else attending the Roskilde festival in Denmark this year?

Let's hope there's a tour following!

I got a copy of untouched takeaway when I saw him in April last year, very nice.

Very nice so far. Second XTC-album I listen to. I don't think I'll like it as much as as Skylarking in the end but there are some great songs here.

Nope, besides his appearance on The Last Waltz, this is the first time I've listened to Muddy Waters. If I get another album it might just be 'I'm Ready'
