DarkHeart Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) [quote name='The Admiral' timestamp='1445618963' post='2892902'] I was listening to Planet Rock this afternoon and heard some Black Sabbath, and was musing on what a great track I think "Never say die" is, but its from an album that was made as Ozzy was in and out of the band before quitting to go solo I believe. I remember when it came out, I thought it was a good album, but my mates thought otherwise. Which set me thinking about other albums from my youth, where I thought they were really good, and others thought they were, frankly, sh*te! And that brought to mind 'Harder Faster' by April Wine - the Canadian band, from which the video comes. It looks like it was filmed in Le Studio in Quebec - beloved of Rush in their heyday. Probably their biggest hit : "I like to rock" I had this on vinyl, and vaguely remember one of the sleeve pics was of the guitarist's frankly Nigel Tufnell-esque collection of about 40 Les Paul's : all on stands, out in the studio, and him standing in the centre like some squire with his prize herd! Can't find the pic though,and my vinyl is in a storage unit currently. What's your "Seriously?" album?

I bought it after seeing them on The Old Grey Whistle Test (video from Le Studio). Before the Dawn was a great track. IIRC there's a King Crimson track on that album; 21st Century Schizoid Man?

FuNkShUi Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Patrick Stump - Soul Punk Singer of Fall Out Boy for those who don't know. Really cool album. Not what you'd expect at all. Can tell his influences are MJ and Prince from this. Don't know anyone else who even has heard it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Blackberry Smoke - Holding all the roses. Awesome band and great tunes The recording is on CD stunning but would love to own it on vinyl as my hifi system would pull out so much more detail and open it right up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HGNofJc7zI My baby made me rock n roll again ... worth a watch on the tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I remember that being really good. I was tidying up the other day and came across a copy of Rolf Harris' autobiography. Made me feel awkward. I'm not sure charity shops will want it.

Cosmo Valdemar Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 [quote name='Dapper Bandit' timestamp='1446134662' post='2897223'] Never met anyone in person that even remotely likes this album. Which is weird because it blows most metal albums out of the water. [/quote] What is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Ooh, thought of another one - "Islands" by King Crimson. I was chuffed when they played some of it when I saw them recently. Perhaps it's having a resurgence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
