Readsalot Posted February 25, 2019 Share Did you see the amazing story about "that" song I posted on the song thread? No? But I saw recently there were a few articles about her getting so much hate when she tore up the Pope's photo - one of the most defining moments of my young, impressionable life.

Stretch Posted February 25, 2019 Share No? But I saw recently there were a few articles about her getting so much hate when she tore up the Pope's photo - one of the most defining moments of my young, impressionable life.Was about the story behind when prince wrote that song. Gives you a glimpse into the brilliance of the man too. Well worth a listen https://www.thisislovepodcast.com/episode-11-nothing-compares-to-you Edit. Worth a listen.. But this article gives a bit more detail of the story of the song https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/nothing-compares-2-u-what-prince-thought-of-sin%C3%A9ad-o-connor-s-smash-hit-1.3467457 Edited February 25, 2019 by Stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia Posted February 25, 2019 Share Not too many Genesis fans here then. I think they were and still are) one of the best bands ever until Phil Collins stuffed them up. Gabriel is in a class of his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubber Posted February 26, 2019 Share I'm currently going through this process. I've recently somehow ended up with a record player - but have no vinyl. Having collected tapes/LP's/ CD's in the past and having had 100's at various points, it's not something I want to do again. I've limited myself to a maximum of 20 LP's. No greatest hits, no compilations, no soundtracks. I've got 6 albums so far :-) When I reach 20, and I find myself wanting to get number 21, I have to sell one of the existing. We'll see how it goes.... (I'm not only going to listen to just these albums - I have streaming services too. ) Two off the six I have aren't listed on the thread so far: Sting - Soul CagesBruce Springsteen - Born in the USA Edited February 26, 2019 by Dubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted February 26, 2019 Share Also want to add: Ultravox - Monument (Live) Someone nicked my vinyl copy from my collection many years ago. Could never find one again until I discovered Discogs. Imported me a nice mint copy from the UK. And then also Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn. I discovered that one from a friend that used to listen to it at Technikon after he had a bottle of Tequila with a Dagga zol, which sometimes occured daily.

Readsalot Posted February 27, 2019 Share Ha ha.. Fair enough I'm not a big fan of greatest hits albums... A good album should be listened to like reading a book and tell a story.. That's lost with compilations I absolutely agree - in theory. In practice, however, there are too many factors to take into account. For instance, the two Roger Waters albums are an easy choice to include because they tell a story and there are only two of them. But Queen! Look at Queen's discography: Queen Studio albums 15 Live albums 10 Compilation albums 15 EPs 7 Singles 72 Soundtrack albums 2 Box sets 19 Other releases 1 That's just insane. How do you even start to choose without leaving out something? So with Queen I just took the Greatest Hits collection - and that's already 3 CDs, totaling more than 50 songs.

Readsalot Posted February 27, 2019 Share No Jazz heads? Soul? Blues? Swing? I'm not a jazz fan, but I've got some soul, blues and swing. Mostly soundtracks like O Brother Where Art Thou, Blues Brothers and Swingers. As someone else said, a good soundtrack can be an excellent compilation album to have.

Lou Zealand Posted February 27, 2019 Share No Jazz heads? Soul? Blues? Swing? I like to think I've got fairly eclectic tastes... Jazz - prefer Coltrane and Monk to Miles Davis but A Kind of Blue is still a special listen.Soul? Can't go pass Otis - recommend Otis Blue to anyone not overly familiar and wanting to experience timeless soul music.Blues - on an earlier post I listed Robert Cray's Strong Persuader - great album but far smoother than the gravelly voiced, 12 bar blues that characterises much of the genre. If you can get it, look out for an album called Showdown featuring Cray, Albert Collins and Johnny Copeland.Swing? To me an ill-defined genre; also a pretty encompassing term - Louis Jordan - Cab Calloway - Count Basie, Glenn Miller - Sinatra... For a contemporary take listen to Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive - an old favourite that is regularly revisited. Sidersky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogs Posted February 27, 2019 Share Just a couple Concert in Central Park (Simon & Garfunkel) Thriller (Michael Jackson) Travelling Wilbury's (1st album) Greatest Stories Live (Harry Chapin) - many great songs before his untimely death.
