recommend a 'classic' album (not your fav album!)

[grumpyhack]

A great album to explore

And a live track from it to give you a flavour

Actually came into the thread to recommend this! I go back to it every year or so, and currently have it on heavy repeat... Triggered a feint memory that there was a thread here about classic albums, so thought I'd add it...trawling back through the thread, there it is! Bloody marvellous album, 25 years old in November. The hidden track at the end (A Natural) is just phenomenal lyrically (Fearghal always did have a way with words). I used to book them regularly when I was in College (basically, if we were stuck for someone of a Friday night, Whipping Boy or Therapy? were always there to dig us out!). I find it interesting that Fontaines DC regularly name check other Dublin bands as influences (mostly contemporaries), but never seem to mention Whipping Boy (I know they don't sound all that similar, but I hear a good bit of Fearghal in Grian...possibly just because they both sing with a Dublin accent). Maybe they are just too young to remember them!

Anyway, I'll add the wonderful "Fiction" to the list of recommends from the album (they're all brilliant mind you)...

 

Actually check out Puressence first album. Very similar vibe, very different voice though.

Cheers, can definitely hear the similarities underneath, though vocally obviously very different! Trying to think who she reminds me of! 
 

if you like them you might enjoy Bitch Falcon. Absolute monsters live, caught them a few times over here, would love to see them on the farm come June (yes, I still think we’ll make it next summer!)

Will check it out. Puressence is actually a male singer. A working class, brutally honest guy. Check out Mr Brown it's about mugging someone.

I've nothing to add here now. I went a bit mental in this thread ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ earlier.

On my best behaviour now.

Very few duds here in my opinion.

Isn't music expansive!

I might be stealing @The Red Telephone's thunder but Forever Changes is an absolute classic.

Was going to suggest this. Just scrolled a bit and saw I was beaten to it.

Will go with this one then. Judee Sill’s debut album.  Fabulous.

turns out my The Seaside tape won't play properly ...so I've just bought the CD from cardiacs.net.

In the meantime I've found it on youtube  

 

 

Cardiacs are finally on the streaming services.

I'll give them  a listen, never tried them before.

Finally got round to listening to Blood On The Tracks the other day. Bit good that is.

Would say about time, but can understand the delay, what with the cost of Tim’s treatment. It’s here now though 👍🏼

Picked up a lovely copy of this the other day:

I know it’s been posted in here before, but my word this still holds as one of the greatest albums of all time. Every time I listen to it I forget just how perfect it is. 

Although it’s bitterly cold this morning, the sun is shining and this album really connected with me when played nice and loudly earlier. Better times are coming again!
An absolute classic.

If you've not heard of WALLY then check them out old sons
