The words you say are wrong
Your Saturday nights, they are sober

'Candylion' by Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals fame.

Quite mellow compared to SFA but just as bonkers!

"I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like"...

It's got a basket, a bell and lots of things to make it look good...

Salad days

Echoes was on Meddle though, wasn't it?

[zathras]

Echoes - The Best of Pink Floyd

What time is it? - Chico

I think the medley on Abbey Road (starting with "You Never Give Me Your Money" and ending with "The End"), is one of the cleverest and most ambitous pieces ever recorded.

You can teach any old monkey IT - you can't teach musical ability like that.

Absolute genius.

The Abbey Road album saved me from dying from terminal boredom on an overnight flight back to the UK a couple of years ago. I way stuck in steerage class, films were crap, and couldn’t get enough booze down me to put myself asleep. They wouldn’t let me have the light on too read. It was the only thing worth listening to on the audio channels. Don’t think I’ve ever done a BA steerage class fight since, certainly not an overnight one.

U2? Dont make me laugh.

Sure that should read:

U2? Don't make me puke.

[Gonzo]

Oh yeah. Back to the original point.

Smoke and Mirrors - the Datsuns
Shine On - Jet
The Lemonheads - The Lemonheads

Mrs Gonzo bought me some headphones for Christmas. Do you think she was trying to tell me something?

[MobileCheese]

Best of Faithless

Anyway, glad I got that out of my system, I am off to grow up because tastes are completely subjective so nobody is wrong and generally it is a good thing that we are all different.

(whispers) Blur were better than Oasis. And more versatile.

[Gonzo]

hmmm, one of the best rock voices? You ever heard Chris Cornell or Eddie Vedder?

Eddie Vedder - you are joking - right?

I went to see Pearl Jam's first UK gig at the University of London Union at a mate's behest. Must have been 1992 or 1993.

Noone had heard of them when I got the tickets (had numbers 40 and 41 or something like that). By the time the gig came around "Alive" had been a big hit and there were lots of people outside desperate to buy my ticket off me at any price. I wish I had taken them up because the show bored me to tears.

Anyway, glad I got that out of my system, I am off to grow up because tastes are completely subjective so nobody is wrong and generally it is a good thing that we are all different.

I hope no one pays for downloaded albums, last time i did that I got ripped off by the mighty Apple Corp.
If you have a hunt round you can generally get the original CD for cheaper... and the quality is better!

Last album I bought was G4 by Mondo Grosso

Yep - a lot of albums in HMV going for a fiver...

[cojak]

Seth Lakeman - Freedom Fields.

[PRC1964]

Nice choice Darm. I'll have to dig that out when I get home.
