Its 95.
43 songs.

got stuff like i Love ya Baby, Here Comes The Hotstepper (Prince Naseems Muzak), Ntrance Stayin' Alive and Set You Free, Livin' Joy. Jinny, Keep Warm(she scored with Roberto Baggio). Bobby Brown Two Can Play That Game. These Sounds Fall Into My Mind.

Conor, you're into early 90s "rave" and 80s stadium rock. Officially you have the worst taste in music ever...

Hysteria is a great album. Ohhhhhhhh yeah, love bites, love bleeds, it's bringing me to my knees love lives love dies ohhhhhh yeah baby...

If I remember right, High and Dry was before Pyromania, was it Kickeroo?

'High and Dry' was their 2nd album I believe. After 'All through the night' though I'm open to correction on that.

Dodge I have to stick up for Conor74 here he owns Sons of Fascination Sister felling call which means then rest of the stuff is Incidental

[Kickeroo]

yup, you've got it right...High N Dry was the second, and IMHO best album the Leps did.

the Hair-Metal 80's killed a lot of my enthusiasm for the genre, but I did not hesitate to pick H-n-D out of the used bin when i saw it.

[James]

conor what u make of the Sigur Rios album ()

Of course it is and I should have put a smiley on there. I happen to love Oasis and Coldplay and adore Basement Jaxx and Air. Depends on mood...

The Future Sound of London are up there with Beethoven and Bach.
This is the kind of sh*te that makes me weep for this generation..:D
NO band, singer, act or anything else is anywhere near being "up there" with Johann Sebastian.
No wonder you are an FFer!!:rolleyes: :D :D

And Oddboy, Ludwig Van could never have composed what Cobain and Dougan can. Sure, all the mediocre plinkplonk stuff he turned out made him go deaf. I urge you to get a copy of Lifeforms. I'll lend you the album. It will change your life.
With the exception of "Fidelio" and the Pastoral, I can pretty much get by without Beethoven.
Bach is as necessary for life as oxygen itself.
As regards FSoL, back in the days when Donal Dineen was presenting No Disco, he regularly played their stuff. Not particularly bad, but hardly life altering.
For the quinntessential mind blowing, Damascene converting, Lucy in the sky type experience, get your hands on
"St. Matthews Passion".
You will see the light........... you will vote Labour !!;)

[City Hero]

Anyone got Tenacious D.

There are a couple of really good tracks on it.

The tracks on the album are either Guns n Roses or Green Day type, or somewhere in the middle.

Being the youngest of a large family, the whole collection thing was a bit fluid, and I have ended up with lots of crap from the 70s.

Hey, I won REO's High Infidelity on the radio when it first came out.

Now way .... they are way out on their own, you just couldn't compare them .... after all did they write "the best song in the world" :)

No, no, no! I like the album a lot but I'm still embarrassed to own it! :)

[shedite]

Teancious D are good. Why did someone dis Relish. Their first album was class and there's a second out in May.

Favourite albums ever -
Stereophonics - Word Gets Around
Norah Jones - Don't know why
Garth Brooks - The Hits

Worst Albums ever (that I bought)
Vengaboys
Aqua
Spice Girls
Eternal

Best album at the moment
RubyHorse Rise - Absolutely class (www.rubyhorse.com)

[shedite]

And for those old timers of you, I have "Now that's What I call music 1" as well.

1983 - 2 records - only famous one - Red Red Wine

What's the earliest ye have? That was my parents. My first one was 20 (I think). Main track is Dizzy. "I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning...........like a whirlpool it never ends...."

i have now thats what i call music 1 and 2 as well. both are on vinyl. ah, come on theres a lot of famous songs on it. There down in Cork.
I think its on 1 or 2 but one of my fav songs is on it i think. Its called "the Crown" by Gary Byrd and the GB Experience. Sheer Class with the most intelligent lyrics on a record ever. (it deals with black culture, history, slavery etc). Goes on for about 12 minutes. Amazing song.

i have a few ElO songs and albums from before that.

Favourite albums ever -

Before I start I agree that Relish are muck, so bloody bland apart from 'Heart Shaped Box'. Anyway, off the top of me head some of my favourites would be...

Guns N'Roses - Appetite For Destruction (1987)
Counting Crows - Recovering The Satellites (1996)
The Goo Goo Dolls - Superstar Car Wash (think Ash with balls) (1993)
Something Corporate - Leaving Through The Window (2002)
The Get Up Kids - Something To Write Home About (1999/2000, I can't remember)
Therapy? - Infernal Love (1995?)
HIM - Razorblade Romance (1999)
Husker Du - Candy Apple Gray (1986)
Def Leppard - Hysteria (1987)

And as for my current, new listening stuff (aside from Something Corporate whose debut single 'Punk Rock Princess' is currently for sale):

The Ataris: Goodbye Astoria (great)
Good Charlotte: The Young And The Hopeless (also great)
The Revs: Suck (largely disappointing)
AFI: Sh1te, can't even remember the title... it was a birthday present (mixed)

[deise deserter]

QuoteAFI: "Sh1te, can't even remember the title... it was a birthday present (mixed)"

[Badweather Fan]

Stone Roses - The Complete Stone Roses.
Beatles Antholgy 3 (are these two cheating?)
Stone Roses - Second Coming
Nirvana - in Utero
Whats the Story Morning Glory?
Manics - The Holy Bible.
Manics - Generation Terrorists.
Air- Moon Safari
Macy Gray - On How Life Is.
U2- Achtung Baby
Ian Brown - Unfinished Monkey Business.
The Beatles.
Bob Dylan- Love and Theft.
The4 of Us- Classified Personal.

[deise deserter]

It was "Sing The Sorrow" dude.

[sadloserkid]

Originally posted by deise deserter

So it was.

[eoinh]

my fav at the moment (mine change to, quite a bit) are

ok computer - radiohead

younger than yesterday - the byrds

yoshimi battles the pink robots - the flaming lips

fossil fuel - the XTC singles 1977-92

highly evolved - the vines

[deise deserter]

Would pick "The Bends" ahead of "OK Computer" any day eoin.

What is the Vines album like though - they were the guys with "Get Free" weren't they? Twas a good song as I remember...

[deise deserter]

What was Ian Brown's first solo single anyone? Remember really liking it at the time.

Yeah Get Free is on it. i think its an excellent album. good mixture of stuff on it. my fav track on is called "factory". nice happy sound to it but the words are totally different.

[BlueisBeautiful]

Wire - Pink flag

Interpol - Turn on the bright lights

Gang Of Four - Entertainment

Flaming Lips - Hit to death in the future head

Mercury Rev - Yerself is steam

[eoinh]

i have Mercury Revs "All is Dream". The lead SINGERS VOICE CERTAINLY TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO. Although once you do there are some great tracks on there especially "a drop in time".
Apparently Jonathan Donahue (the lead singer) tried to gouge out another member of the bands eye with a spoon on board a flight to Britain!

i only have one flaming lips album but ive read that some critics rate one of their albumns as the record of the century!

[James]

Ian Browne - just dont go see him live me recomends
saw him supporting the manics in the point a few months ago and he was chit
