Your music taste went down hill from 1965 onwards

Carry on Up The Charts - Beautiful South. Not one bad track on the album

[Little Shrimp]

Blackholes and Revelatoions - Muse

[Seasider9601]

An album from 1990 is another favourite of mine (listened to in the car only yesterday!!)

A little known rock band called The Quireboys and the album was called "A Bit Of What You Fancy".

They were managed by Sharon Osbourne and supported Guns n Roses on their tours.

Takes me back to the summer of 1990 ........

[trojan]

Unknown Pleasures -------------Joy Division
Ogdens Nutgone Flake----------Small Faces
All Mod Cons--------------------The Jam
Tighten Up albums 1 to 9--------Trojan records

[Seasider9601]

It Bites "Once Around The World".

Released some great albums under the leadership of Francis Dunnery even though they struggled for further chart single success following the millstone that was "Calling All The Heroes" in 1986.

I saw you'd replied and would have put money on your choice being Queens greatest hits.

[halftimeresults]

if it was the greatest band of all time then Queen wins it by a mile.

Anyone see "When Bob met Harvey" over Christmas about the Live Aid show at Wembley ?
Very interesting in getting all the megastars together for free, so if you missed it, its repeated New Years Day night I think.
Phil Collins not realising he would be the only one doing both London and Philly shows was funny !

Was surprised by the lack of recognition for Midge Ure though. Worth watching.

good shout that..

i remember thinking the same a few years ago after watching a documentary just before live8 about live aid in 85 and all the work what was put into it and with all due respect not just Bob Geldof

[outsider]

What got me was it was only 25 yrs ago but how far things have come, It seemed to be all done on land lines no tinternet/email/myface etc etc, stilll the cherry picking Bulgarians was funny

[Vinny]

'American Idiot' is a good shout.

Hard to choose just one, but I'll go for: Santana 'Sacred Fire', Live in South America 1993. Never tire of it. Always gives me a lift.

you mean, when you are hitch-hiking, instead of holding your thumb out you hold an old record up and that works?

[Crazeenick]

Made in Japan by Deep Purple - certainly best ever live album !
