Originally posted by shavixmirYes. They come from Oxford. I remember back in about 1990 living in a bedsit in Cardiff and reading in the NME a review of their first single, Creep. It got a good one so I went and bought the 12" (vinyl of course). I really liked it, so when I saw they were playing in Cardiff in a couple of weeks I went along. £3.50 entry and £1 a pint!

It was in a dingy night-club with a dance floor that could fit about 50 people. There were two support bands which I didn't know there would be, and when the second came on we all assumed it was Radiohead, since no-one knew what they looked like. We shouted for them to play Creep but they didn't 😕. Then of course Radiohead came on and we bopped all night! There were 5 of them in the band and they barely fitted on the stage! A very memorable night. I haven't seen them live since (probably couldn't afford to these days, and don't particularly like their new stuff) but I bought the first three albums.
Ahhh memories!

That's a good question. I'd die if I could only pick ten.
Derek and the Dominos: "Layla and other Assorted Love Songs"
Pink Floyd: "Animals"
Pink Floyd: "Atom Heart Mother"
Phish: "Rift"
Rush: "Presto"
Blind Melon: "Nico"
moe.: "dither"
The Alman Brothers Band: "Hittin' the Note"
Gov't Mule: "Dose"
Steely Dan: "The Royal Scam"
Originally posted by player420Talulah, if you haven't already heard them I highly recommend you listen to these albums. Also check out the recent "Rush in Rio" concert on DVD. This band still has it, despite all three of them being over 50.
Obviously, you haven't ever heard 'Counterparts' or 'Vapor Trails.'
And the "synth" era did produce a few gems. For me, it's The Weapon, Middletown Dreams, Marathon, Second Nature, and Under Lock and Key.
in no order
1 pink floyd dark side of the moon
2 steve miller band g.h. 74-78
3 eric clapton unplugged
4 jimi hendrix all along the watch tower
5 metallica master of puppets
6 jonny cash folsom prison blues
7 ac/dc highway to hell
8 led zep II
9 linkin park meteora
10 grateful dead skeletons in the closet
honorable mention bands... bob seger, nirvana, rolling stones, the beatles, allman bros, bob dylan
Originally posted by player420No, I haven't heard them. I bought Signals, Grace under pressure and power windows, but didn't like any of them really, so gave up on the band.

I have 2112, Hemispheres, Farewell to kings, Caress of steel, Permanent waves, Fly by night, Moving pictures, and the Exit stage left live LPs, so compared with them, Signals and those other ones were extremely poor.
I've since got into independent/alternative music now so I'm not really interested in buying the more recent stuff. When I pick up my guitar and feel like playing something nice though, I always start with Broon's Bane!
10 cds ? wow, I wouldn't like to end my life on a desert island with only 10 cds... anyway :
1. Kenji Kawaai _ Avalon Soundtrack
2. Noir Désir _ 666667 Club
3. Janis Joplin _ Cheap Thrills
4. Death in Vegas _ Continuo Sessions
5. Heretik Sound System
6. Toy Dolls _ Orcastred
7. Dexter Gordon
8. Jurassik '5' _ Power in Numbers
9. Mad Professor _ Schizophrenic Dub
10. Devo _ Devo
and a swiss knife.

The Police: Zenyatta Montana (or whatever that album is called; you know which one I mean)
Extreme: 3 Sides to every story
Joe Satriani: The Extremist
Primus: Sailing the Seas of Cheese or Tales from the Punchbowl
