U2 - the early stuff
Alice Cooper
Heaps of Blues and a bit of everything else thrown in. then theres the CD collection, I not sure how many of them I have.
I can live without telly but not my music.

We must have the same collection Ric....except the top two in mine are swapped around. Yes definitely comes in at #3 (Owner of a Lonely Heart is my all-time 11/10-LOUD favourite), and I'd probably throw in Rick Wakeman there somewhere too.

Echoes, now thats a song an epic and in no hurry to finish. Two other brilliant long songs are Cowgirl in the sand by Neil Young and Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

My fave LP's in no particular order are:

Dark side of the moon- Pink Floyd
Harvest-Neil Young
Vulture Street-Powderfinger
Led Zeppelin II- Led Zeppelin
Wolfmother-Wolfmother
Ten-Pearl Jam
Renegades-Rage Against the Machine
If you want blood-AC/DC
Live at Leeds-The Who
Decade-Neil Young
Who's Next-The Who
Animals-Pink Floyd
+ some that have escaped me at the moment

There's some great albums there but also some great ones have missed the boat.
One very old classic that comes to mind is Iron Butterfly, In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida.

Brilliant.

Listening to it now.

RIGHT ON!!!!!!
LOVE THE FLOYD!

Cheers!

One of my favourite Pink Floyd songs to listen to whilst observing is "Terminal Frost" from the Momentary Lapse of Reason album......i think if you're a die-hard fan you would have listened to all their songs by now! ....and if you are and you haven't heard that song you should have a listen and see what you think!

Cheers!

[Ric]

Hi Omaroo, I have all of Rick Wakeman's work, theres some great music in his collection.

Hi Mick, "Gold and Platinum is one brilliant album.

Hi OBMY, "Terminal Frost" is a classic, I dont really think that PF has ever really done a bad song. some of my fav's would be "Dogs of War", "Waiting for Worms", "Shine on you Crazy Diamond".

Here are some other bands I noticed that didnt get a mention.

Dead Kennedys
Hawkwind
Sex Pistols
Girl School

cheers

And yes... I even found a few more subtle nuances which weren't apparent to me during the last period of our acquaintence.

Matt, do yourself a favour and buy the Pulse DVD. Sit down comfortably, vision matters somewhat, but audio is critical - a good surround sound system - and play a 1984 live performance of DSOTM. Dave, Nick and Rick present, Roger absent, sadly.

I bought the DVD, then didn't play the DSOTM part until I'd rewired the room with a new surround sound audio system. I was very pleased!

My children already know which three songs are to be played at my gravesite after I'm buried (and probably after everyone else has left - if anyone does come ):-

1. One of These Days
2. The Great Gig in the Sky
3. Us and Them

Hi Eric, I can imagine what it would sound like, totally awesome.

cheers

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

I guess that I'd need to include Peter Frampton in my faves too. Particulary "Gold" with "Do You Feel Like We Do" on it.

Bloody oath!
I agree!
I reckon they should hand out this DVD free with every IISAC T-shirt! LOL
Best to play it at night in the loungeroom with all the house lights off!

I got my neighbour into that DVD...drives his daughters nuts though!
He plays it so loud that sometimes i have to call him to turn it up!

Cheers!

[styleman333]

Cant believe no Abba or Bay City rollers in the top 100 ............ What is going on here?

[Ric]

And no Racey, Wham or Bucks Fizz. Aaaaargh!! stop me.

This thread has reminded me of a lot of great albums that I still have to buy.

cheers

[matt]

Hi Eric

I'm gonna take your advice and track that DVD down. Sounds like a belter!

Good choice of graveside tracks

I hope it's a grey thunderous day with occasional shafts of amazing sunshine splitting the cloud... with that great music ringing out.

I hope it's a long...long...long way off

Cool

But right now ... I'm crankin' out the Joshua Tree.

Saw U2 a few weeks back.

Glad it made it into the top 10

[Ric]

Hi Matt, I had some early Genesis of this arvo, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks & Steve Hackett. A pretty amazing line up.

A bit of a nostalgia trip.

[matt]

Absolutely.

You know the Collins-Rutherford-Banks incantation are reforming for a short while and touring?

Don't think they're coming to Oz, though.

[Ric]

Hi Matt, now that would be good value, I have one of Mike's albums, heavy of the Synth's but pretty awesome stuff.

cheers

I went to the friday night concert at homebush, i sat on the first tier at the north end, 2 rows from the edge and a little right of centre,it was an awesome concert!
I wonder if they found that kite Bono let go at the end of the concert when he sung "KITE"....i love that song soooooo much, i always crank it up loud! Its probably my favourite song from that album.....
Bono did such a good job singing Pavarotti's part in Miss Sarajevo too....

Which concert did you make it to?

Cheers!

[matt]

The Saturday night.

We thought it was just one of ... if not the best live gig we've been too.

The Pavarotti section he sang was just stunning and Miss Sarajevo is a personal fave. The man has an amazing voice. So much range, passion and variety.

Wasn't it great they did a fair swag of the earlier (80s and 90s) stuff.

I missed out on the Zooropa tour ... but I could hear it from where I was living at Erskineville in Sydney at the time. Sounded great but I think the Vertigo tour was a cut above, actually.

I didn't expect them to play as long as they did, although I was expecting something special after they cancelled in April.

Glad you enjoyed it so much.
