CaledonianGonzo Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I have heard Piper at the Gates of Dawn a heap, and I've got A Saucerful of Secrets kicking around somewhere, albeit long unplayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 To be honest I'd be happy enough with just See Emily Play and Arnold Layne. Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast and the rest of it can do one, as can [shudder] The Wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsonjack Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I apologise in advance....but I never really got into David Bowie. I know loads of his material obviously...but I don't own anything by him at all. Perhaps now is the time to right that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a best of CD but other than that, never listened to a full album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Loads and loads and loads of them. While i know every chord plucked by Jeff Lewis, the Rockingbirds, Cowboy Junkies, Band of Holy Joy and Cornershop, i have never listened to an album by, among others Led Zepplin, Coldplay, Radiohead, Muse, The Doors, ACDC, Pink Floyd, and a million other bands that everyone takes for granted. I never ever went through a classic bands stage. Not ever. Good thread this, given me a kick up the arse to actually listen to some rather than dismissing them out of hand. Although that probably is more fun. i'd never even listened to a Beatles album till late last Summer.

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Some stuff just gets dismissed out of hand regardless. I'll be slumbering full fathom five before I listen to a solo album by the bloke from off of The Coral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a sample tune on Windows Media Player. Didn't even listen to that one. Is he good? I know that depends a lot on which type of music I'm into. Stone Roses. Whatever I've heard, I've been incredibly underwhelmed. Boring as fook. I'm a huge Arctic's, RHCP, Strokes, Radiohead, Queen, Green Day fan, and so many of my mates love the SR's, I just can't get into them at all. Stone Roses.....that's the only act on this thread mentioned so far that just passed me by, and I'm from Manchester too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyDunlop Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 If its being extended to acts you have just never got into, I have mentioned this before.. Queen. I just dont get it. I know the hits (obviously) but I am not bothered by them and have never felt the need to listen much further than the hits that I don't really like.

For the same reason I've listened to the DVD disc menu music of The Wire on an endless loop for entire nights at a time. When you walk through the garden...

roughbloke Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 The Velvet Underground - given them a listen but never ever will get in to them. Thanks for some of the comments, actually made me go back and listen to some of the artists I hadn't bothered with for ages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Lawn Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 This board gave me some pointers on Brand New a few weeks back, up until that point they were pretty much strangers to me. I bought The Devil And God a few weeks back and that was really good. Today I bought Deja Entendu, which I'm listening to now; this is also pretty great. But have have to say that The Devil And God seems the stronger album so far, it just doesn't give a fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonneville88 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) I've got a few really - Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, ACDC, The Doors. They're all meant to be good aren't they?

I hadn't heard an LDC Soundsystem album until 2 weeks ago having been nagged by my friend they were the best thing in the world ever ever ever for years but never been convinced. I'll grant Sound of Silver is decent and I'll likely see them if the Pyramid headliners turn out to be a rumoured this year but still not sure why there is so much fuss over them!

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 A long long time ago someone told me that their favourite band name for a group was Gaye Bykers on Acid. The second that they told me I also thought that this was my favourite bands name. Then along came a band called Ou Est le Swimming Pool who just stole the show as far as I'm concerned. OK, they're not classic artists, but I have yet to hear anything at all from either band. Some Facts; Gaye Bykers on Acid also used to play their own gigs dressed up in womens clothing under the name Lesbian Dopeheads on Mopeds - therefore being paid twice for the same gig. Ou Est le Swimming Pool - the lead singer committed suicide at the Pukkelpop festival. The band then went on to create a festival called Chazzstock in his honour (Charles Haddon).

grumpyhack Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I've still got an album by Hapshash and The Coloured Coat featuring The Human Host and the Heavy Metal Kids. A name that trips off the tongue easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
