Good calls otta.


Weirdly I thought we weren't going to get anything from the last ten years, as the music industry has changed so much, it's all about an immediate impact these days, whether you're signed and if your first album fails you're cast into the wilderness or whether you're a 'youtube sensation' who's follow ups invariably disappoint (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, I'm looking at you!!!)

Bound to be a matter of tate this one but I'd go for...


The Manic's - 'Holy Bible', 3rd album and not as commercially successful as 'Everything Must Go' but I think they'd shot their bolt by then.


A 3rd album for fans of radio smooth...


Melody Gardot - 'My One And Only Thrill' (Live from SoHo being an EP)...


Another one down to taste but...


Talking Heads - 'Fear Of Music', the one that turned my head in their direction.

I can go with MSP as it was Holy Bible that got them the wider acclaim, though I'm sure fans will freak at the thought that the first two are no good. as for EMG I don't care what happened late, I'm looking for slow starters.


I can have TH as your personal point of view, but seeing as their first two albums are classics I can't let them in ;)


I was considering Led Zep on the rather weak effort that it was on III that they really found that distinctly Led Zep sound rather than being a fantastic blues rock band with a distinctive sound, if you see what I mean, but considering the first two are total classics with many of the all time best loved songs on them, I can't allow that either.


It's actually really hard isn't it.

Yello - You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess ... (The album with 'I Love You' and though the 3rd album it's still way before everything they did was used by BBC sports broadcasters and/or US film soundtracks of the 80s)


They Might Be Giants - Flood.


And for bonus points what about-


T.Rex - T. Rex ... Debut album of band's abbreviated name but fifth album overall.

Coool Maxxi.


I've a fifth album up my sleeve too.

The Shamen produced god-awful post goth indie-rock psychedelia fare until dropping some pills and producing the then classic En-Tact, before resuming on the turgid [now dancey] rubbish path.


It hasn't aged well though.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.

      I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
