Music chatter

We seem to have plenty of music lovers here, though I'm beyond appalled at some of the junk they listen to. I'm looking at you @green_beer @waller02 @rabdeniro @Essexphil & many many more.

Anyway, this thread is for general music chatter.

    I'll get the ball rolling with this.




    What were the first few albums you purchased? (They were called "Long Players" or "LP's" in those days).

    And have they stood the test of time?

    I think these were amongst my first three. The Rod Stewart one has aged well & still sounds great, as does much of Ziggy. Tubular Bells, not so much.

    Bowie, of course, has long since passed away, but the other two are still alive & kicking, some 50 years on from those albums.

    I noticed that Sir Rod Stewart is doing a UK Tour this year, not newsworthy in itself, but his support act is Culture Club.


    Seriously? That's a VERY odd mix.

    Did anyone, ever, anywhere, enjoy Culture Club's music? Surely not.

    These were the first 3 albums that I don't mind anyone knowing I bought (I think pretty much all of them stand the test of time)but I also have to admit to having bought 'Grease' and an Abba one with a helicopter on the front.

    @HENDRIK62

    I'm not sure you should admit to owning the Grease album.

    My brother-in-law is a jazz trumpeter. For those of a certain age in Nottingham, he started out in Cisco. He has played with most of the jazz greats. But I won't let him forget that 1 of his jazz bands supported Rod Stewart on a UK tour in 2011 ;)

    He also regularly guests with 1 of the best-named jazz bands. "Tony's Cronies"

    Re Culture Club, a bit before my time but some decent enough tunes, Boy George had some voice; he later became a pretty good DJ and I saw him a couple of times at a club I went to when I was a lad, Room At The Top in Bathgate. That club is now a large softplay/laser quest centre where I've taken my kids a few times!

    If not the first three they were certainly amongst the first few I bought...





    Although I seem to be in a minority that likes female vocals, certainly on Sky Poker.
    I don't think anyone can disagree with Fleetwood Mac and Kate Bush standing the test of time, although Toyah is more famous now for her and her husband's YouTube exploits!

    Who would have guessed you'd see Robert Fripp dancing to Swan Lake in a black Tutu in his 70's?

    p.s. congratulations on finding one of the tamer Sunday Lunch videos!

    There were worse than that? Yikes.

    Lockdown was so weird when we look back on it. To be honest, I quite enjoyed it in many ways. Love a bit of solitude, me.

    Now you are either taking the pee or trolling. Bon Jovi? Seriously?

    Very first album I bought was Bad by MJ in about 1989. Not really a huge fan of his, I was only 8. Then the early 90s came along and I was swept away by Grunge and Metal.

    I have a very broad taste in music though, love Take That, love Westlife, big Elton fan then also a huge Slipknot fan. All depends what mood I'm in.
