  4. List #3

    'Showbiz' by CUD.

    Probably their most accessible album, along with 'Leggy Mambo', this record is one of my all time favourites. Guitar based, with a very English wordyness and a hint of camp, I really don't know how CUD failed to make it big.

    XXX and Earth Angel - if you can download it from anywhere, from what I know about your taste you will both love it to bits.

    Regards

    If I've got nothing by a band but always liked what I've heard, I will get a 'best of' nowadays, as I haven't the time to start at the beginning. If it is a band that I already have a progression of albums however, I find it hard to listen to a 'best of', because it just doesn't seem right somehow.

    You know, there is still a thriving Motown dance scene in the UK, called 'northern soul'. Basically halls full of people dancing to lesser known Motown records whilst (alledgedly) popping 'happy pills'. It was especially big in the 1970s in places like Wigan (pie country), and seems to be making a comeback all over judging by posters.

    Another piece of useless trivia whilst I should be working.

  20. Recommendations for List #2

    I'm going to suggest 'Word Gets Around' by the Stereophonics.

    It is a collection of songs about life in a small town, containing such greats as 'More life in a tramp's vest', Local boy in the phtograph' and 'Not up to you'. If you've ever grown up in a small town where there is nothing to do and everybody knows each other far too well, you will appreciate the album tremendously.

    IMO 'Pablo Honey' is a good introduction to Radiohead, but doesn't come close to 'The Bends' for power and all round....whateveritis....that makes an album great. I think they went a bit off after that and a bit too introspective, or perhaps thats because I don't have much time to just sit and listen anymore.

    Anybody wanting to buy an album that will be hailed as one of the all time greats in years to come should buy 'The Bends'.

    As for comparisons, the style is difficult to compare. Try a bit of 'Muse', a bit of 'JJ72' and something melodic in the mix, and you still won't be anywhere near!

    Regards
