Vinyl Me, Please Rock

[Nee Lewman]

Won't be Essentials, the Essentials one is a "70s punk album"

I hadn’t seen that or really dug into it all yet. (And won’t). See sig.

Too bad, was hoping to upgrade my beat up copy of London Calling.

Is the Clash Rock pick Combat Rock ? because I border on hate with that album. I also have the recent anniversary pressing which was gifted to me. I will secretly PIF it to Europeans but wait to see if they confirm it - may save someone a genre Add on.

Damn. It's my favourite if theirs for a variety of reasons, even though I think the two singles are vastly overplayed.

I think ive an issue because whilst there are some good high points the low points are for me unlistenable.

Always loved Combat Rock. Now I am going to listen to Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg

London Calling was originally released late 79, it just took a few weeks more for it to cross the Atlantic and be released.

Yes, I think it was out in the UK mid December 79 and the end of January 1980 in the US. And we know Storf's reality is US only

Yeah it confused me a lot when I first saw either a Rolling Stone or Pitchfork list that had it as the best album of the 80s!

Honestly stoked for whatever Clash or Ramones records they might choose, though I already have clean copies of my fave albums by each. Anybody have any clue what the indie pick might be for July? Read somewhere it's been confirmed a UK band from the early 2000s, with most of the usual suspects mercifully already crossed off the list of possibilities. I also feel like I read somewhere a long while back that the pick would be an album well off the beaten path a la The Lemon of Pink ... which is pretty exciting. Not sure what VMP might slot into that particular category, though.

 

[Murfocakes]

Really hope it is the Ramones. There are just more albums to choose from and would take something like End Of The Century as a left field pick.

 

[MikeH]

Confirmed that the band is NOT The Clash. So we're probably lookin at the Ramones.

Curious what the indie rock British band is. Who's ready for some Coldplay??

I don't personally love Coldplay, but that would be a huge get for them, no? Also, indie?

joking that VMP would consider them indie

 

[The Voidoid]

I don't remember where I read it, but there was a claim a while back that the indie pick would be something more in line with The Lemon of Pink. Not sure which UK indie bands from that era would qualify in that category. Maybe a Badly Drawn Boy or something in that vein?

I thought maybe that was the joke, but my brain is mush this morning for some reason.

They mean left of center. It’s probably Muse.

I'd actually be pretty stoked for Badly Drawn Boy if that was it.

Is that Emo or am I thinking of something else? I feel like they were a big deal for the Hot Topic crowd.

Yeah, I would definitely be intrigued if they re-issued The Hour of Bewilderbeast.

They were indie at some point, before they turned pop.
