What albums should I buy?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Nothing post-1976, please.

[Laz]

Any early Wishbone Ash, not sure when "New England" was released, but that's a good one.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Roaming in the Gloaming by Sir Harry Lauder, the only record ever played at the Adeliade from the 19th centuary.

[Zagreus]

Most of my stuff from pre-76 is early heavy rock: Led Zep, Deep Purple, Black Sabbatch etc. Other good albums that i return to on a regular basis are:

 

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake - Small Faces

Axis, Bold as Love - Jimi Hendrix

Kick out the Jam - MC5

Their Satanic Majesties Request - Rolling Stones

The Village Green Preservation Society - The Kinks

The Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground (the one with What Goes On)

 

These are all pretty mainstream though, so you probably have 'em. I can highly recommend Floatin' Anarchy by Planet Gong - it was made in 77, but is close enough to 1976!! :-)

[Laz]

Zag, I've got Gong Live at home. What a bizarre band!

 

How about Lynyrd Skynyrd?

[Zagreus]

Gong are one of the few bands that make music that scare me. I've listened to various Gong albums whilst in various "conditions" and I can only really handle the Planet Gong stuff. Albums like The Flying Teapot and Angel Egg are all a bit much for me (What's all that "Have a cup of tea, have another one" all about?). The Planet Gong album is a live recording, and even though the space cadgets will like it, it does have a more "down-to-earth" feel to it. Especially tracks like Opium for the People.

 

I like Lynyrd Skynyrd, especially Free Bird :-)

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Zag - got the Small Faces, Velvet Underground and Stones ones, but have meant to get The Village Green Preservation Society for a while now, so will plump for that with Hendrix as back-up.

 

Intrigued by yer Gong, though. Might have a listen to Laz's first!

[Laz]

Gong Live (or any other of their's)..

 

Zealster, it's one of those albums where we are going to get some scrupmy together, sit down, start to analyse it, then get pissed, phone people up, sing to them, ..., get my drift.

 

This one really needs to have bong on the go, but I think we'll do with the cider. (or as Zag says, a cup of tea.)

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Walked down the cider aisle in Safeway at lunchtime. They've got a fair few flagans of that Weston's Scrumpy in there. That'll do the trick.

 

Remarkably, I left the establishment with just a carton of grapefruit juice and some blank CDs.

[Laz]

Geez, I've forgotten where the booze aisle is.

 

I get round Safeway in about half the time now, and the bags are a lot lighter.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

It's the aisle that gives you cold sweats.

 

I hear you may be falling off the wagon slightly on Saturday.

 

You've replaced Jimbob as gertcha mentor now!

[Canary Saint]

 

Albums that I keep returning to (off the top of my head) and in no particular order are:

 

Court and Spark - Joni Mitchell

Twice Round The Houses - Jonathan Kelly

Tea For The Tillerman - Cat Stevens

Modern Times - Al Stewart

Odessey and Oracle - Zombies

Rubber Soul - The Beatles

Hunky Dory - David Bowie

Idea - The Bee Gees

Buffalo Springfield (Again) - Buffalo Springfield

 

Ah memories last longer than dreams.............

Last time that happened I ended up with one of you guys playing a guitar solo down the phone!!!

I do seem to remember Zeal phoning me up one Saturday night and playing Oasis songs down the phone!!

Got this DVD from Amazon this morning too! Should be worth a bit of Zeal action!

 

I reckon Norah Jones would be my fantasy wife actually. Can picture me and her sitting outside our ranch in Southern USA somewhere, both strumming acoustic guitars, and singing folk and country standards, before making love in the tall grass that grows wildly in our acres of land.

 

Or maybe in a log cabin in a cold country somewhere, writing music in front of the log fire, before making love on the silky giraffe-skin rug that decorates the huge front room.

 

Man, she'd love a bit of the Zeal.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I'd just skip the music mate if I were you.

 

Be sure to drop her round mine and Morleys though when you get divorced <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Amanda's a silly little girl with no self-respect.

 

Norah Jones, my friend, I think you'd find a much harder nut to crack.

1. Correct - contains the lines

What's your name ?
Who's your daddy ?
Is he rich like me ?

Even back then boys from St Albans could not help flaunting their wealth <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

2. Don't know
