I've got the Morrissey album, and the Blur one is obviously excellent, but nothing else on your list really catches my eye.

 

Heard alot about this Joss Stone tart - her first album was all old soul covers, yeah? But I heard her new single, and it's dreadful - just the sort of rubbish that Kelly Clarkson or one of these "I got attitude" "R'n'B" nobodies would put out. Hardly classic soul.

 

For the record, I have the following CDs with me today...

 

• The Best Of Lindisfarne (which I'm currently listening to)
• Norah Jones - Feels Like Home (one of the best albums of a very poor year for albums)
• The Best Of Cat Stevens
• Wings - Back To The Egg
• The Best Of Jefferson Airplane

[gertcha EFM]

You must have missed out the top one mate. After a few listens I think it's actually pretty good.

 

Surprised he's only just got round to buying the Mozza album.

[CANV EFM]

cat stevens fking great stuff..

when it comes to being lucky shes cursed

when it comes to loving me shes worse

but when it comes to being loved shes the first

baby I know...

or something like that.. think ill give that a whirl tonight

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Got the PP Arnold version of that at home too. Superb stuff.

[GazzaBTFC]

Hmmmm, been listen to the new Libetines album. After dismissing it as a pile of sh*te, I now think it's quite a good album. That and the new Green Day. Piss poor band make a decent album.

 

Also been listen to an American band called Thornsley...and yep, my mind did turn to a "mutual forum adversary". A bit heavy but enjoyable all the same.

 

And Crosby, Stills & Nash (got the new Crosby / Stills album which is good). YB (Zeal), check out CPR. You'll like. Crosby with his son. A bit west coast but very good.

 

Haven't played any cat Stevens for some time. Haven't got the "best off", got "Forienger", "Tea For The Tillerman", "Catch A Bull" and the other one. Can't remember the name..."Fire Cat" or something. Great albums.

[GazzaBTFC]

Oh and Free The Bees is a brill album. Good choice, Thornsey.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Teaser & The Firecat.

 

Don't know much about Crosby, Stills & Nash, although I do own albums by the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and the Hollies. (Are they the three in question?)

[GazzaBTFC]

Yep, they are the three. Bryds (Crosby), Buffalo Springfield (Stills and Young), Hollies (Nash).

 

Essential listening is David Crosby's "I Can't Remember My Name". A superb album. I would've thought you'd have that (no, criticism intended). You'd love it!!!

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

I'll give it a listen when I put in my next Amazon order.

[GazzaBTFC]

I think it's on a nice price.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Good stuff. I'll pop over now to have a read of some of the customer reviews.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

If Only I Could Remember My Name

[GazzaBTFC]

Impressed that I do know what I'm talking about...sometimes

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Okay, I got it just now, as there were one or two other albums that were in my shopping basket from a previous browse...

• Joni Mitchell - Ladies of the Canyon (Take a leaf out of her book, Gib$on! - eh, JK!!)
• Minnie Riperton - Les Fleurs: Anthology
• Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds of Silence

[GazzaBTFC]

Ooooo....Minnie Riperton. Now that will not dissapoint.

Public Image Limited - The Greatest Hits, so far

Various - Rough Trade Shops - Indiepop 1

 

thumbs up

 

 

as for Jomi Mitchell, even she'll do for me!

 

:--)

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

The Rough Trade album is brilliant, loads of little dittys from the late 80's when indie was still underground, and the Feild Mice get better every time I hear them (which is about 14 years now)

Any fan of Modern Day Primal Scream should check out the track from 1985 on there!

 

So far I've heard the Lovers album and as gertcha said it is well good.

The Ash album isn't their best but there are a few well good songs on there.

Joss Stone was nice to listen to as I completed my figurework last night, you can borrow it if you want Zeal <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ravenottes album is also well good and was CD1 of the Rough Trade album.

 

I'll try and listen to the rest tonight

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

I'm happy to hear that first Joss Stone album, mate. It's this new stuff she's doing which pisses me off.

 

The music press rave about this great soul voice from a white, British 17-year old, and then as soon as she starts doing 'original' material, they turn her into a carbon-copy American brat-kid.

 

Ash have turned into Busted. Zero interest these days.
