Never mind the bollocks, here’s the Sex Pistols

I must admit I do like the word eponymous. The Clash.

You’re probably right @hunnybunny and @desperate-dan I can’t beat that but you know me I’ll have a go. Here’s another Muppet killing a classic.

I’m sure you’ll all be gutted to know The Fall didn’t cut an album till 79 however The Jam knocked out a couple of debut stonkers in 77 and though there was a lot going on in This Is the Modern World I’m giving the nod to In the City on the basis of superior tune bangingness! Here’s the title track… much more to come re…[Read more]

Probably contravened the BP’s rules with that version of Peaches @brianN. I heard it once on prime time Radio 1 back in the day. The DJ kept it going to the end, probably the best policy in the circumstances.

Can’t beat that,

You’ve stopped making sense @hunnybunny.

(oh what a wit!)

I agree, 1977 right up there and I think 1978 just as good, as both capture punk and the emergence of post punk before it all starts to go a bit electronic. Real Life by Magazine (1978) is an awesome album and this is one of the best punk singles ever.

To be continued.

Rattus Norvegicus anyone?

Not his best album but a great introduction to 1977

Glad you’re on board @desperate-dan but we haven’t even mentioned 1977.

Contractual obligation post about Angry Birds.

After 9 continuous days of running, 14-4 in version 1.6.3 did not deliver. I got 0-birders but not the scores. Bit stumped as to what version I was using in 2022. There’s a lot to choose from. Maybe 3.4.0. Sigh…

(I’m going to start the ellipsis appreciation society…)

Close but no cigar.

For 1972 you could have added Harvest by Neil Young. And the first Steely Dan album! Hey, I’m on board!

I don’t know I leave you alone for a couple of weeks and look what happens?You get stuck in the Jurassic age of rock.Everyone knows pop wasn’t invented until 1976.

Dan still looking for the miracle 0 birder (well done @sweetp for making the Desperate one play the game).Rukes is rules is what I always say.Trouble is he’s such a stubborn…[Read more]

Finally, back to the group that made me buy my first ever single.

Also in 1971, The Yes Album, their best IMO. Lindisfarne Fog on the Tyne, a great listen throughout and Bryter Later by Nick Drake. Shifting back to 1970 and forward to 1972 it’s pretty good too but 1971 is crazily stellar. I do…[Read more]
