Bob The Badger Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Tell me if I'm getting boring with these threads, but I'll still ignore you. Hated The Police, even when I saw them in 1982 - love their stuff now. Hated Primal Scream until I saw them live (I went to see The Orb., they just happened to be on) - love them now Loved Simple Minds from Life in a Day to New Gold Dream. Then hated them when they went all Belfast Child bs. Now quite like their new stuff. Loved Happy Mondays albums 1 and 2 (plus and EP), then hated them. Loved FGTH with their first album (also loved the remixes of Two Tribes), then Liverpool sucked Donkey Balls and hated them. Hated The Beatles early stuff, but then when they got into drugs from Sgt Pepper onwards, loved them. Loved REM, then hated them, and then kind of loved them again. Now I'm unsure. Loved The Clash, then wasn't sure, then loved them again and then wished they'd split up to preserve the amazing memory Love The Ramones, then thought when I saw them live....boring Loved Bowie, then hated Bowie, then loved Bowie, the hated Bowie, then loved Bowie, then hated Bowie - and that was juts one album. Hated Prince, then loved Prince. Hated Led Zep, now really like their stuff. Loved Madonna and then hated Madonna, then saw her life and really loved her. Loved XTC, then really loved XTC, then super loved XTC and think P & M are the best songwriters since L & M. Damn I wish Partridge didnb't have performance anxiety because they were amazing live. I'm sure there is more, but you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there is more, but you go. Not 'into' a lot of these, but I take your point. BEATLES Pepper is the No 1 album of all time for me, but the move away from 'early Beatles' to the more technically brilliant stuff surely happened after their Help Album (we ancients referred to them as 'LPs) When they brought out 'Rubber Soul' and 'Revolver'. OK, ignoring 'Yellow Submarine' and 'Penny Lane' listen to 'Tomorrow Never Knows' followed by 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and you can see where the technically brilliant 'A Day in the Life' was conceived. BOWIE first Album I heard was Ziggy S. Loved every track. Good balanced post BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Bowie... One good song until 1971, then one all time great album, then dross until one good song in 1977 and then more rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I remember having such a fight with my much older brothers when I was a teen-ager. They were taking the piss out of my Sultans of Ping F.C. CD, while I couldn't bare the LP they kept playing, featuring an old man who couldn't even sing ffs. Eventually I deliberately scratched their shitty record so they couldn't play it. The album in question. Tom Waits 'Closing Time', which is now amongst the greatest things I've ever listened to. The naivety of youth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRainy Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Tom Waits for me also. Couldn't get into him for years, then one night it suddenly clicked, drunkenly hearing Small Change at about 4am. Obsessively bought all the albums and listened to virtually nothing else for about two years. Now I only tend to put him on if I've got visitors that I wish would leave.

I'm still in that lovely stage where you hear a song and wait just before it ends before rewinding and listening all over again. I hope that I don't fall in love with you, and Martha are in that category atm, but I'm finding myself increasingly drawn into the wierder stuff too. I once heard someone say there is no such thing as new music, just music you've heard and music you haven't. I see the point now. Next stop, Leonard Cohen!

McRainy Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 There are certain albums I used to play endlessly on repeat. Of the early stuff, Small Change and Blue Valentine, then Swordfishtrombones, Frank's Wild Years and Rain Dogs. Then Bone Machine and Mule Variations. I sort of lost it after that. Leonard Cohen is wonderful, but I always liked him, so he's not allowed in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bx3 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Loved (loved, loved) dance music (rave and all that, house, dnb, some techno etc) from when it started in about 88 until about the late 90s. Then the 2000s kicked in and most of it since has been complete and utter snot. Really hard to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
