Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 In the interest of balance and in fairness to pat, I should point out that somebody nominated ALIEN ANT FARM earlier in this thread. Also, fucking hell pat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apostrophe, One Size Fits All and Zoot Allures are all prime contenders for here, but I'm offering these two: 50 years old and still as fresh as ever, it's practically cryogenic. Zappa forms the most incredible band he can, and then drives them to insanity by changing the set list every night and putting the sociopathic bass player in charge of rehearsals. The sound, though. Just the sound of that big band with the horns and percussionist is awesome. An underappreciated gem, hindered by poor marketing. It's not an Iron Maiden album in any way, just a tremendous bit of late 80s radio friendly pop rock. And it's waaaay better than Dance of Death.

All I can remember is his head bobbing all the time and he had a drummer who took his technique and fashion from Animal of The Muppets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Tommy! Posted January 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 I await being called a big twat, as my music taste is not great, but I'll suggest overkill. As great as ace of spades is I think this is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Black Grape's It's Great When You're Straight ... Yeah? (1995) For me, the best Brit Pop era album by a large margin. Shaun Ryder's finest ever work, too. A mesh of styles Damon Albarn desperately tried to master with Gorillaz, and didnt come close to an album this good. Let's look at the cover for a start. Carlos the Jackal in a pop art stylee with the title in his sunglasses. What a beautiful and offensive cover this is. Putting a Venezuelan terrorist recently imprisoned was a bold choice for a group formed out of the ashes of a band that bankrupted their last record label. The songs are all wonderful. First to last. They're all catchy, rambling, funny, pop culture referenced and fun. Reverend Black Grape was a belter to open the album up with. In the Name of the Father continues the blasphamy. Tramazi Parti announces their latest drug of choice to the unsuspecting. Kelly's Heroes was a soundtrack for loads of Sky and BBC highlight comps, which is funny considering its a song about how all your heroes are on coke. A wonderful album, that knocked strips off every other album released during the Oasis and Blur's feud, when both were arguing who was the best band in England. Neither had Bez did they?

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 24, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Bumping this old thread to say that I put on Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury for the first time in a long time and it is flawless.
