Maybe ELO for the proper prog fans and Sabbath for the meow meow rock fans (technical ecstasy anyone? ) ..... the rest are bang on correctamundo. I could force my obviously correct opinion on you with more choices but I can't be bothered anymore and have thrown out all my toys😘...... Oh and by the way 😂😂😂🍷😍 PS kudos for the first person to reply with the connection between an early ELO album cover and Sabbath..... Dunno, but did they not share drummer?

Speaking of Black Sabbath, I’ve always been fascinated by the Born Again tour of 1983, where you played drums. It’s always been described as this psychotically dysfunctional thing where everything just went wrong. Has it all been exaggerated? I’m pretty sure it inspired the Spinal Tap thing with Stonehenge. We rehearsed with this Stonehenge and they got all the dimensions wrong. It was the opposite [of Spinal Tap] where instead of being tiny, it was so big it wouldn’t fit on the stage. The first gig we did was, I think, Toronto. It was this massive arena, but we couldn’t fit it in. We had to dump half of it. But I had a lovely time on the tour, and Ian Gillan had a good time. It was the only Black Sabbath either of us ever did, but we still had a ball. We loved it. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/elos-bev-bevan-talks-rock-hall-induction-jeff-lynne-rift-121884/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Belly Evans Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Apologies if they did. I didn't really follow them after Never say die. My dad had live evil (I think that was what it was called) with Dio singing......... not for me at all. No, my link is to do with an early ELO album cover........

I challenge you all to point out where I am wrong😎 OK, I wasn't going to say anything but you threw down the gauntlet, there's no such album. 🙂 That'll either be 'Standing On A Beach' or 'Staring At The Sea', depending on what medium you bought it on. The cassette was the best as it had the singles on side A and all the B sides on, well you get the idea. The other part of your post that could possibly be pointed out to be wrong is that as that compilation was released before they released their most popular album, Disintegration, it could be argued that doesn't contain their biggest hits. Well you did offer the challenge. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambo Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Rum and ginger... I've run out of limes though... I didn't want to risk it I'll agree with you about Rejuvenation though. The first Meters album is brilliant but they evolved over time and Rejuvination might just be their zenith, (although I do love Cabbage Alley too). Cheers.

I went to college with friends that wore hats with flour on, with faces whiter than their blonde hair.....etc etc. Still don't see the Cure as proper Goths though.....

Love rears up its ugly head blew my mind at the time. I remember buying the first album to feature Wimbish on it on tape😀. Couldn't get my head around it... terrible let down.

Ricky 4000 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Stain. I think that's got 'Love Rears' Live on it, with Muzz on bass - which is great. 👍 At least, I think the CD version had it as a bonus track.
