The Music Thread Strikes Back

Giles Peterson is doing the mid-morning slot on 6music - its bloody brilliant.
 
I brought the girlfriend at the time the original album, they're only a progression of the Top of the Pops albums we had before that
 
Doing the one task of the year at work that I loathe - very laborious excel stuff, happens every year in late July but it does mean I get to listen to lots of music whilst I work my way through it. I like listening to artists I've not heard before, new artists, obscure/unknown artists or artists I really should know more about.

So today I'm listening to Pearl Jam. Because I really don't know much about them - I don't think I've ever heard one of their albums all the way though. They're great. I recognise loads of their songs.
 
Alive is really the only one you need. I suppose maybe Jeremy.

Alive is just an absolute stone cold classic.
 
I've put on Ten, thought I'd just go through their albums from the beginning.

I recognised Alive from Guitar Hero.
 
Pearl Jam are up there with Sleater-Kinney as my greatest musical loves.

Ten and Vs are obviously the stand out albums for most people but just for reference, I would rank their albums as:

Ten
Vs
Yield
Vitalogy
Pearl Jam
Binaural
Backspacer

(bit of a gap here as the last 3 are all much of a muchness)

Lightning Bolt
No Code
Riot Act

Vs is brilliant. I love PJ. One of those bands who are even better live, they just did a 3hr show in London last week.

Soundgardens drummer joined them in the late 90's and his playing really changed their music, different dynamic. Riot Act didn't really grab me when it came out but now I think it is one of their best albums
 
The better half and I thought we'd listen to some Beatles solo stuff last night, so put some Lennon/McCartney/Harrison solo albums on shuffle (sorry Ringo but Vertical Man just didn't make the cut).

What the fuck were the producers thinking letting Yoko Ono near a recording studio? Dear god. There's clearly a good reason why I've never listened to the entirety of John Lennon's back catalogue. Some awesome stuff on some albums but I was astounded how bad some of the tracks were - especially those where Yoko has the lead vocal.

Plastic Ono Band and Imagine are both quality albums mind you.
 
chuckled at a few other threads where peeps have mentioned things that make them feel old (eg Hennessey being 32 for example), then read that Madonna is turning 60 FFS.
