TBH I'm still not quite feeling it, although their soulful interpretation of Ukranian funeral marches and Moldovan Death music is certainly unique.<br /><br />If you haven't heard Aja then you really need to. I know for a fact I'm not the only Bishop's Stortford birder to regard it as the finest album of all time.DorsetDipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612884207485991011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-46460991751537572772017-02-03T11:52:13.993+00:002017-02-03T11:52:13.993+00:00Right DD...

Possibly the dullest and most tedious group of sings ever released.<br /><br />3x David Bowie but no Station to Station?<br /><br />If I had to choose a Genesis album it would be A Trick of The Tail - the optimum mid-point between twee progressive introspection and pop.<br /><br />I would have thought a man of your wit and taste would have had Aja by Steely Dan in their list - like having liquid honey poured down your lug-holes. Just a fantastic album.<br /><br />No Van Morrison? What's he ever done to you to deserve that?<br /><br />And I'm slightly surprised, given some of the others on your list, not to see a Richard Hawley album or two in their. Coles Corner, Lady's Bridge, Trueloves' Gutter all excellent.<br /><br />Some choices I haven't given much attention to in the past. You Tube may get a few visits today.DorsetDipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612884207485991011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-82599034871954308092017-02-03T00:00:56.196+00:002017-02-03T00:00:56.196+00:00Only 20 on my list but glad to see plenty of Neil ...Only 20 on my list but glad to see plenty of Neil Young in there!Factorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01164747997397980883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-16396238053567012142017-02-02T20:37:47.515+00:002017-02-02T20:37:47.515+00:00A good call Steve, and I`ve got a fair few of thos...A good call Steve, and I`ve got a fair few of those too.
