Today, I have mostly been listening to ...

Loving this...

scrumhalf

Not heard this in ages, when suddenly it appeared on a compilation on my mp3 player. Such an underrated band (the first incarnation with Ted Turner, don't like any of the later stuff).

Phil_aka_Pip

@scrumhalf They were excellent Some of the MkII line up (with Laurie Wisefield) is worth hearing: try Live Dates Vol II, if that floats your boat try studio albums No Smoke Without Fire, New England, Just Testing, Front Page News. Some of the stuff after that (where they tried to be a heavy metal band eg Raw To The Bone) is probably more for die-hard fans.

New Ryan Adams (I like that a lot, seems more focused than he's been for ages).

The new Robert Plant should be sat on my door mat when I get in tonight so that'll be my entry for tomorrow.

HAL9000

Well today I've dusted off my copy of John Mayall's A Hard Road. To be honest it's a bit of a mixed bag, but mostly it's far better than I remembered.

Listening to my new 'roundup' of stuff (it's going to take a while to get through)

1) The Donnas "Gold Medal", the 'all-girl AC/DC' second to last album and they kinda just disappeared off the face of the planet. It was fun while it lasted. I paid 50c!

2) Live "Throwing Copper", the classic Live album. Mostly, I enjoy this. One or two weird moments but overall I 'get' this. And at only 50c... I see 'bargain'

3) Royal Blood "Royal Blood", they created a stir and rightly so. Some say they're not really that special and they'll disappear. Maybe, but for a 2-piece they have created a monstrous sounding album really let's face it! I think of them as the 2-piece Mastodon!

4) Slash "World on Fire", maintains the pace of Apocalyptic Love though lyrically it suffers in places from being too 'wordy'

5) Sweet "Greatest Hits" compilation, after reading the Desolation Boulevard thread I needed a retrospective and something to keep my Sweet tooth satisfied (no shame for the pun...)

6) Whitesnake "Slide it In", probably my favorite Whitesnake lineup and album. I get why 1987 was so big but this was just... A lot better.

7) Eric Johnson "Venus Isle", one of those albums I wanted as a kid after hearing the track S.R.V when he performed on the first G3 lineup alongside Satch and Vai. Never thought I would actually come across it all these years later!

8) Joe Bonamassa "Different Shades of Blue", Australia gets it early in light his tour. I've openly slated him a bit before but after a break from the constant slew of studio albums I'm liking this. I would say the only dud is the title track. Aside from that a decent disc worth checking out.

I was listening to Queen Rock Montreal the other day and it's a fantastic live album. Probably the beat version there is of Save Me.

You've got excellent taste @johnnyurq. I can't begin to explain how much I love that. You understand what it means. Cheers mate.

johnnyurq

I can say the same for you @Deadman and I don't think there has been anything I don't like from your choices and postings.

Birds of a fevver and all that jazz, or is it fools who seldom differ (accurate for me in any case).

Punk's not dead it just has a hernia, type II diabetes and getting on a bit.

Deadman

This is for you mate:

johnnyurq

Thanks for that dude.


LOL one of my faves from back in the day and from SLF. Seen them play it live many times and was always awesome even if Jake is mutton these days.

We used to cover it at the local community centre etc LOL, most likely very badly but that was punk, get wired in and have a go.

Johnny was definitely a bad man and chemically enhanced to boot.

Deadman

Good memories Johnny. I'd liked to have seen that and pogoed down the front

johnnyurq

Good times indeed and a great energy about it all.

Christ we must be getting on as we are now waxing lyrical abiut the okden days LOL.

This - the title track from Lenny Kravitz's new album Strut. 

Some pretty good guitar licks in there.
