25.11.2025 18:44 β π 17 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Hmm. A band I've never listened to. I'll take a look (well, listen) - thanks.
25.11.2025 18:08 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Is there a best Dan album or are they all superb? Particularly love Deacon Blue on this one.

18.11.2025 17:53 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0One of many in a great run of Thomas & Buscema issues. Absolute perfection!

13.11.2025 18:39 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It certainly ranks highly for me, just a whisker below Selling England in that era.

09.11.2025 16:01 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0A great album, although not quite up there with lineup partner Trick Of The Tail.
04.11.2025 18:57 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0One of the first guitar pieces I learned was Al Stewart's Denise At 16 from the Bedsitter Images album. A lovely tune.

Sure deserves a peace prize!
Great choices there JM. I might've tried to squeeze Working Class Hero in there somehow for its raw anger.

07.10.2025 19:46 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Love this album! Richard Sinclair might not have lasted long with Camel, but his vocals and bass brought a lot for the few albums he graced.

28.09.2025 11:58 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0An amazing swansong album (except for Maxwell's Silver Hammer) which still sounds great today.
26.09.2025 17:34 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Every song on this is a gem, and I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite.
24.09.2025 17:31 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It'll be interesting to hear the new mix and pick out some of the more subtle backgrounds.
21.09.2025 16:09 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The Colosseum album is my favourite of those - Dick Heckstall-Smith's double sax playing is always a treat.
20.09.2025 19:51 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I can understand that point, but when I can actually walk to one of those venues, I'll go and enjoy :-)

14.09.2025 10:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I'm sorry I can't do that.
13.09.2025 22:46 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The last in a great run of albums, all the way from Atom Heart Mother. It all got a bit too Roger Waters for me after this, although The Division Bell stands up well.
