The 2 cd plus dvd of Blue Oyster Cult’s 50th anniversary 3rd night concert has just dropped through the letterbox
Set complete, off to the man cave to indulge in some quality listening

 

[Imurg]

In my humble opinion.....nearly 6 minutes of perfection.

 

[GreiginFife]

Possibly one of the best set oflyrics ever written

Been going through my BiLs stuff (now that he’s gone and my wife wants me to help her sort through it all) and come across his vinyl collection. It’s not huge (maybe 90 albums) but definitely interesting.

Almost all late-70s and 80s ‘new wave/post-punk’…so mostly stuff I didn’t listen to back then, along with some Bowie, Simple Minds, Lou Reed that I don’t have. I was Genesis and Floyd. Only a year older than me he most certainly wasn’t.

So over the coming weeks will be giving a first time listen to albums by…Wire, Television, The Bomb Party, Public Image Ltd, Talking Heads, The Velvet Underground, Devo, Nico, Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, Buzzcocks, Pete Shelley, Kraftwerk, Joy Division, Colin Newman, Cabaret Voltaire.

Where to start…any thoughts anyone?

Note…You can probably rather guess from that list that my BiL lived Manhattan Lower East side in 80s to mid-90s.

Never mind the Buzzcocks - farhen, farhen fahren through the rest.

There is definitely some names there I have never heard of.
Just shows some that never travelled in that time.

Given your background is prog, then you're like me.
I can't help you with much of that stuff except:
Brian Eno: two albums that progheads generally like are Another Green World and Before And After Science. Here Come The Warm Jets has some good tracks, including a killer Fripp solo on Baby's On Fire.
Talking Heads: my favourites are Fear Of Music and Remain In Light.

Talking Heads. Without a doubt.

Talking Heads. Without a doubt.

I’d have said that with Television (Marquee Moon?) and Joy Division to start with

Just because .......................

how does he not get mentioned when talking about the greats?

 

[Crazyface]

Boom Radio playing........childrens choice music. Memories galore

…and so home…and currently spinning the 1st of many. I decided to stick with a band I know I liked at the time as I pogo’d away in the Students Union.

Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady (1979). A compilation for the US market to lever a way in. And it’s great to listen again to punk anthems such as everybody’s happy nowadays and ever fallen in love?

 

[Slime]

It's absolutely beyond comprehension.
For me he's the numero uno.
