Now you really are being ridiculous. How can you possibly discount Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisted, Blonde On Blonde (probably his best), Blood On The Tracks, The Basement Tapes and more recently Time Out Of Mind, which is a real corker and an amazing comeback record after all the (granted) years of cak?

I'd agree with the "second album hihgpoint" bit....for me it's never been bettered BUT to discount Blonde on Blonde, Nashville Skyline, Blood on the Tracks and maybe Desire seems a tad harsh.


Still, can't help myself hating three albums of pseudo Judeo-Christian rock shite.


Edit - as Jah has also pointed out.

Then there are the bands that imploded under the weight if their egos.

ELO and Yes spring to mind. The eighties weren't kind to any of the seventies prog era bands were they (well musically, financially some did well, Phil Collins who must have done some evil pact to create such dire turgid shite and sell 150 million albums!!!!!!!!!)

i utterly disagree with massive attack- the first album was sublime- the second album good and everything since has been dull


however; one i forgot to mention on the new albums thread is massive attack....i've heard a track from it and it sounds superb

Oooh Jefferson Airplane.

Takes off is a bit dull, Surrealistic Pillow surely one of the definitive sixties creations full stop. And then it all turned sour again.

Thy should hang their collective heads and apologise to the world for Starship too while they're at it.

Well I haven't heard the new one, but I thought they were pretty consistent. I loved mezzanine, but it is darker and less touchy feeling than protection for sure


Right, Radiator for the Super Furries, and I'd nominate them for not doing much wrong if you can get past the odd self indulgent weirdness and of course the Welsh!!!

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.
