Your'e album archives
|
|
Do any of you go back to certain albums made 30 plus years ago? I take it as (another) sign of getting old that i play particular albums more with each passing year.
Selling England by the pound. Genisis.
Argus. Wishbone Ash.
Whats going in. Marvin Gaye.
Made in Japan. Deep Purple.
Blonde on Blonde. Dylan
Hunky Dory. Bowie
Born to Run. Springsteen
Any other old gits drag the old stuff out or are you keeping up with the kids.

I only opened this to see if he’d been pulled up on your’e. It’s like he knows that you sometimes put an apostrophe in but isn’t sure when or where, so has taken his best shot.

I regularly put on my old stuff for my son.
Last weekend we had:
Hawkind - Doremifasolatido
The Damned - Black Album
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
He rather liked Maggot Brain
Tend to listen to new stuff mostly on my own but did have a Kraftwerk, Neu and OMD day a few weeks ago,

I listen to a lot of stuff that's younger than 30 but one of the ones I always go back to is over 50 years old. Forever Changes by Love. Top notch.

I generally find that a band has to have been going for at least 10 years now before I become aware of their existence.
Probably another 4 or 5 years on top of that before I start to check them out.
PS Selling England is one of my top 3 of all time.

My collection starts with early MC5 & Stooges, then concentrates from late 70s to mid/late 80s. Only a little from the early 90s (Blaggers ITA, Nirvana, mainly - IMHO bands like The Fall, Sonic Youth and Butthole Surfers all of whom I have a lot of their earlier stuff, had all gone off the boil in the 1990s)

...and I'll add that on YouTube I tend to look out 1970s stuff more than anything. Often what i might call the "missing links" between 1960s "garage" and late 1970s punk or industrial
Most recently listened to Kraftwerk's debut album (when they were krautrock rather than synth-dominated)

I have the first 3 on your list plus Hunky Dory - all on the original vinyl.
My vinyl album archives go back to 1963 with Please Please Me. I'm now down to 600 albums, but used to have many more - mostly vinyl, then CD's and a smattering of cassettes.
I once had around 50 odd 8-tracks as well but sold them at a boot sale along with scores of fucked up cassettes.
Tonight I've been listening to Split by Groundhogs - superb.
