A-Z vinyl collection

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

My Us are pretty straightforward...

3rd - erm...(it would be UB40 with Present Arms if I allowed myself to repeat a band)
2nd - U2 with The Joshua Tree (1987). I was not a U2 fan but bought this off the back of 'I Still haven't Found what I'm Looking For' - and I loved the album. Maybe a bit dated now - but that single still shivers my timbers when turned up loud.
1st - UB40 with Signing Off (1980) I can remember thinking that - wow that's different - ska from a basically white Brummie band - hard hitting lyrics - and followed by Present Arms before they got a bit poppy-soppy. This has travelled through time very well indeed.

Vs - hmmm - well off top of heid there's Suzanne Vega. Will give it a spin...

 

[Hobbit]

I missed UB40 - I have their greatest hits! I couldn't see past U2. I have a couple of theirs but wasn't that impressed after the Joshua Tree.

Definitely Vega for me. EDIT: maybe a bit of Vangelis!

 

[richart]

Vangelis tomorrow. Chariots of Fire.

The Vapors ? Used to play in pub in Farnham, before their one hit, Turning Japanese.

 

[Imurg]

Van Halen for me.....first album

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Definitely got the Vapors. Think I also have a Vanilla Fudge CD so will rummage for that later

Ah - has me wondering if I can include Jon and Vangelis - Short Stories. Damn it all - I'm going to listen to it in any case.

 

[backwoodsman]

Van Der Graaf Generator

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons

Meanwhile BIM is playing The Venga Boys ???

 

[SatchFan]

The largest part of my vinyl collection -

Van Halen - Van Halen I
Van Halen - Van Halen II
Van Halen - Women and Children First
Van Halen - Fair Warning
Van Halen - Diver Down
Van Halen - 1984

Went to CD after that.

For a bit of variety -

Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare

 

[Blue in Munich]

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons

No, BiM will also be playing SRV, Frankie Valli and also Luther Vandross, whilst auctioning your Quo ticket for charity.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Hmmm. I’ve found a track by The Vibrators on my Sounds like a good Album to us (1976) compilation. ‘He’s a Psycho‘ is just pure unadulterated punk - and the only pure punk track I’ve got on vinyl.

Ah - I’ve got a FV and the 4 Seasons but it’s just a Four Seasons album. What the heck. We know it’s FV. And it has all the great hits. I’m having it in my Vs.

 

[Grizzly]

In V's you should surely have some Velvet Underground? And I quite enjoy the first Velvet Revolver record too.

 

[nickjdavis]

Stevie Ray Vaughan for me.

followed by lots of.....









….Various Artists

Is 'van' a bit akin to selecting 'the' ? ( I know it it is not the actual translation of Van)

 

[jim8flog]

Not a lot of Vs in my vinyl

Came down to choosing

Vangelis and L'apocalypse des Animaux.

Guitarist Eddie Van Halen and his drummer brother Alex were both born in the Netherlands so I guess it must be a Dutch thing.

In Dutch doing a literal translation van is usually used in the middle as per your example and means of e.g son of the father

It gets moved around in some languages e.g you may have Van der... Of the.

On DIY duty?... Currently 'bopping' to the beat of the hammer drill intermixed with a bit of whine from Henry ?...

No VU (though 'of course' have Transformer but that's not VU) but listening to The Vibrators...on OGWT...
