The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project (aka Preachin’ about the Preachers if today’s selection sucks)

Pete Townsend is his own worst enemy. There are some great live bands who have members who just won’t shut up and it really brings the show down. In the run from Tommy to Quadrophenia he would often spend 2-3 minutes between songs explaining what the song actually means or is about.

Looks like Worms is the end of the original Album FYI

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Hey @Yer Ol' Uncle D does the original album have all the chatter?

No banter on the original pressing. Just wall to wall music.

One of their two pretty much perfect albums for me. I’d probably have “Rum, Sodomy and the Lash” edge it but that’s no slight on this one at all.

Also has that Christmas song on it, which is one of the few overplayed songs in the world that I still like.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Pogues 5/5. And I actually rate this behind Rum and Red Roses

 

[Nee Lewman]

Solid stuff that Pogues album. Only familiar with Fairytale.

I've never actually listened to much of The Pogues. To be honest, I always thought they were kind of gimmicky. However, this album has proven me wrong. There are so many great songs on here.

Not familiar with this at all. It sounds very of it's time though.

Im sure rap was happening outside of the US before this, but it was certainly the first time I was aware of it.

Oooohh… I know her from working with Towa Tei. I have never listened to this.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Ah man, Future Listening isn’t on Qobuz. Will need to pull that cd out!

 

[Nee Lewman]

I like this! Acoustic Bossa Nova with some turn of the century electronica/ambient things happening.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

I remember a friend had it a played it often. I enjoyed it, but I doubt I have listened to it in 20+ years.
