Pulling out old albums

[paul_oshea]

...well has anyone pulled out an album they havent listened to in a few years or more possibly and thought, thats a quality album still.

just took out

appetite for destruction and incesticide and thought almost 20 years and 16 years on ( respectively) they still sound quality.

[Dublin12]

I was annoying the neighbours last night with My Bloody Valentine-Isn't anything,still good to hear it every now and again,was also playing Sebadoh-Harmacy,a must if you haven't got it.

[noby]

I found A Catholic Education lastnight. On tape. A bit muffled (more-so than the original production), but I'd forgotten how much I loved that album. Time to upgrade to cd, me thinks.

[finlma]

Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic is still the best Chilli's album.

There's a whole host of 70s albums that are still quality.

[Risteard]

Listening to Mosely Shoals yesterday.
Love that feeling of
"Oh, remember how good that was" so i always try to not overdo my favourite albums especially my indie90s favourites.

[Aldini98]

Pulled out "parklife" by Blur the other day, still a great album.

[Macy]

Put on Rafi's Revenge by the Asian Dub Foundation last week - really forgotten how good it was.

Must admit, most of the stuff I listen to would be 10 years old at this stage - and to think I swore it would never happen. :eek: :D

[Lionel Ritchie]

I'll put the farm on me being the only person on foot.ie with 'Laughing At The Pieces' by Doctor & The Medics in his vinyl collection.

Fantastic record ...full of energy, poetry and swirling melodies galore. It also rocks like a fcuker. Every time I hear Kaiser Chiefs I think I hear loads of the Medics in them. Sometimes in Killers stuff too though without Killers annoying 80's synth (ironic?) Beyond that think bits of the damned, the cult, the kinks...

I can't even call it an underrated album as most never even bothered rating it good or bad.

It was released in 1986 on IRS just after surprise chart topping cover of Norman Greenbaums 'Spirit in the Sky' went to number 1 all over the shop.
It made the top 10 for one week in june 86.

I still chuck it on from time to time when I need a pick me up.

i dug out surfer rosa by the pixies yesterday........turned up loud, hard to beat.

[Wiseguy]

Went searching for Def Leppards On through the night last weekend only to discover that the disc had been broken in half while moving house so i had to order a new one on Amazon.

[tetsujin1979]

Turned on Golden State by Bush on the mp3 player for the first time in an age today. Top stuff, esp Superman.

[The Stars]

listening to the Forest Gump album....some class songs on it...worth a listen

[drinkfeckarse]

Def Leppard- Hysteria. The Prodigy- Fat of the Land.

[Macy]

Daddy of the all - The Space Monkeys.
Spiritualised - Live at the Royal Albert Hall.

[tiktok]

Sultans of Ping - Casual Sex in the Cineplex

Haven't listened to it in a while, but got it out vbefore the gig this saturday.
I'd forgotten how good it is. :)

[Partizan]

I think I have a couple of Whitesnake numbers around.

[Kingdom]

Its not rock but I found an old Les Rhythems Digitales album that I bought in a stall 5/6 yrs ago. Couldn't believe how good it was, or how much of the music had been used in ads, films, Sky Sports etc.

[James]

listening to both heartworm and submarine for the last few days in readinessfor tonights gig i nthe savoy

gwan the whipping boy

[Ash]

I havent really listened to much music in years but I was clearing out the attic
in my parents house and found my old record rack complete with a heap if
Iron Maiden singles on vinyl. There was also W.A.S.P. - The Headless Children!

Found an old cassette box aswell with a load of Maiden tapes, Whitesnake,
AC/DC and a lot more!

Les Rhythems Digitales are brilliant even still - France always produces the best house music. Jacques Le Cont is still bringing out the best mix albums - have a listen to his Fabric album.

[joeSoap]

Regatta de Blanc, Harvest, Back in Black and 12 Gold Bars are some of the old ones I fished out...giving away my age there..:o

I've plundered the past again to find an interesting musical thread.

Moved house recently and had a lot of painting to do - which offerd me the opportunity to listen to a rake of old albums. Among which I recently listened to:

The La's - The La's - still a great album. Liberty Ship, There She Goes and Looking Glass are timeless.

Supergrass - Life on Other Planets - Not for everyone, but I think its quite an underrated album. Really enjoyed re-vistiting this record. Grace is a great tune.

Neil Young - After the Goldrush An undoubted classic but I genuinely hadn't listened to it for about 5 years.

The Pixies - Bossanova -

Fantastic album. Their best by a mile.

I was annoying the neighbours last night with My Bloody Valentine-Isn't anything,still good to hear it every now and again,was also playing Sebadoh-Harmacy,a must if you haven't got it.

i took a few songs from various Sebadoh albums and made a great comp cd.
never really liked a full album by them though.

[declan hide]

Back in Black

fished this out? this should be at the front of every collection although Dirty Deeds... is my current Akka Dakka fave.

[declan hide]

The La's - The La's - still a great album. Liberty Ship, There She Goes and Looking Glass are timeless.
[/B]

never heard this until lately, when i heard jason byrne (the comedian) get dave fanning (i think) to play 3 songs from it. pretty strong album alright.

[Marked Man]

Tension: I only Like You When I'm Drunk. Recently transferred it from tape to mp3. Forgot how good it was.

[gustavo]

Nevermind - quality from start to finish :)

[Lev Yashin]

Im gonna get slated for this....
But i put on K by Kula Shaker the other day...maybe there is some kinda hippy in me but it still appeals after all these years.:D

[Wolfie]

Would you believe they've reformed and have a new album. :eek:

[cheifo]

The The ,Infected and The beaten generation.Sounds a bit tinny but still some great tracks.Heartland and Armageddon Days reminded me of the politically angry teenager I was in the 80s.Also Modern Times by Latin Quarter.Good band, came out with a lot of interesting stuff.

It really shouldn't have appealed all those years ago either tree-hugger :p

[Pauro 76]

Havent heard this in a while..

Smashing Pumpkins - Gish

Still probably their best.

Good call! I can just see Lionel Ritchie frothing at the mouth with righteous indignation upon reading it :D

Can't hear your pub-rock muck at all ...am currently deafening myself with Half Man Half Biscuits' "McIntyre Treadmore and Davitt", "This Leaden Pall" and "ACD" (the latter is basically Back Again In The DHSS with extra tracks) all of which arrived in the post yesterday.

Proper :ball:

Woohoo I knew you wouldnt be able to reply without using the phrase pub rock :D

If it quacks like a duck. Now if it'd been a live album I'd have said grand scale pub rock. But pub rock no less.

Now we're talking, I'm just transferring "McIntyre" from cassette to MP3 as I type.

Pauro - Gish is a classic. Fair play.

Exile On Coldharbour Lane - Alabama 3


Just confirmed a Limerick date for October 14th. I assume they'll be doing Dublin and a couple of more too. Not to be missed live!!!

EDIT: ...and I'm wrong ...there's no Dublin gig. Not scheduled yet at any rate unless they slip something in on Thursday 11th or their return trip for Sligo Live.

[Pauro 76]

Listened to Chemical Brothers-Surrender the other day, and its still absolute top drawer. Forgot how good it was. I'll add to that Garbage's debut album. Also randomly heard Air-Moon Safari and that was pretty good in its day too, great to hear records you'd forgotten about.
