Many people seem to have great affection for 'Vienna' by Ultravox, but it means nothing to me, it means nothing to me.
Good stuff Sku. Fleetwood Mac went down hill after Peter Green imo. Susan's House would have been a possible for my list. I saw Eels at the Festival Hall a while ago and some people were calling out for them to play it. 'Susan doesn't live here any more' was the response.
Never saw him live Queens, just the recording of him singing RS brings me to tears! My first record I bought was Could You Be Loved, think it was a 7inch double A, can't remember what was on the other side for the life of me!
Here's mine.... See me hear me (listening to you) - The Who (ideally Live at Isle of Wight festival 1970!) Boys keep swinging - David Bowie Marillion - Assassing The Smiths - Headmaster Ritual Genesis - Cinema Show Lady Lynda - Beach Boys Ultravox - We came to dance ELO - Mr Blue Sky
Nearly put Sherrif Fatman on my list, always loved Carter USM, saw them at Queens Uni Belfast in their prime, was amazing
OK, as the instigator of this thread I'm going to take the liberty of making myself a new list based on selections from other contributors' choices........ Basket Case - Green Day The Kids Are Alright - The Who She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult Redemption Song - Bob Marley I Am The Resurrection - Stone Roses Man Of The World - Fleetwood Mac Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards - Billy Bragg Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
That is an awesome list ...Do I like that (and one of the choices was mine too) Only tweaking...and I may go back to tweak my list is too, as it wasn't there either.... Fleetwood Mac.....Tusk Didn't Fleetwood Mac do a lot of truly awesome songs in all their reincarnations!
I never got the chance to see them live but picked up a couple of rare [bootleg?] live CDs over the years. Philip Schofield gets some well deserved stick alongside the obligatory 'you fat bastard' chant to welcome MC Jon Beast onto the stage.
Seen Carter USM live twice in the last 4 years, they seemed quite tepid now... compared to what I remember them as Age catches up with us all
I'll play... Yes - Close To The Edge ( I'm old enough to have been at their Loftus Road gig. My favourite band at that time, playing at my teams ground. Heaven!) King Crimson - Starless The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out Elbow - Tower Crane Driver Richard Thompson - If Love Whispers Your Name Eddie Reader - Dear John Genesis - Cinema Show Radiohead - Subterranean Homesick Alien Norm.
Noah's Dove - 10,000 Maniacs Svefn-g-englar - Sigur Ros Floating on the Forth - Frightened Rabbit Digital - Joy Division Scattered Black & Whites - Elbow Thou Shalt Always Kill - Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip Electra Glide in Blue - Apollo 440 Insect Boy - Otis Lee Crenshaw (Rich Hall) A worrying insight, best not self analyse.
This is hard. Another day another listt - The one i love - REM The wind cries Mary - Hendrix I asked for water (she brought me gasoline) - Howlin Wolf Lady Stardust - Bowie Sweetest Smile - Black It serves me right to suffer - John Lee Hooker Nadine - Chuck Berry Shakin' all over - Johnny Kidd & the Pirates
Thought we were allowed only single tracks...not albums...so it was just the track I have the album in its entirety, which due to lack of windup gramophone I can no longer play.... It takes a bit of determination to get through it but well worth it imho
Great shout on "Assassing", Dreamer... I went for "She's Gone" as I like the Hogarth-era Marillion as much as with Fish. Hot on the heels of my choice was your choice, or any one from "Punch & Judy", "Incommunicado", "Now She'll Never Know", "No-one Can" or "Higher Ground". Great band.
OK, here goes... 1) Dick Grayson - if your going to be on a desert island, you might as well start your own cult and I think that "Holy Mackerel" could become a super-deity. 2) Dick Fosbury - for the impressive ability to pluck those high up bananas and still landing in a position where of casually laying there ready to eat one. 3) Dick Turpin - if you plan to build a transport network on your island, you'll need a highwayman... (?) 4) Dick Whittington - ....and pave it with gold. 5) Dick Cheney - to pulley when you flushey the looey. 6) Dick Trickle (old racing driver) - just to laugh at the name really. ...erm... 7) Julian Dicks - for all those natives legs that need breaking???? ....errrrrr.... 8) Moby Dick - guess with all the dicks, this will be quite testosterone filled. Why not have one with more sperm than Marc Almond? ....oh.... S**T... this is desert island DISCS!
Careful with that axe, Eugene - Pink Floyd - Pepperland Concert The Cinema Show - Genesis - The unreleased half of Genesis Live Goodnight Elizabeth - Counting Crows - Travelling Circus 2009 Wring that Neck - Deep Purple - BBC In Concert 1970 The Crystal Ship - The Doors Kashmir - Led Zeppelin U2 - Something from their early catalogue like "A Day without Me" Rush - La Villa Strangiato
