Everybody wants to rule the world by Spider, BD, TMGJ & FatOlive

One of the most common teenage ages used in pop music. 

Mainly because it scans well and rhymes with a lot.

I first heard So What through Metallica doing a cover on their Garage Inc album.

It is as captainmed say a punk classic.

@Not in Crawley you slag, MC5 yeah I’m a fan love that album 

This is the most I've enjoyed Thom Yorke's stuff in years

 

If you like The Beatles, I highly recommend this series of shorts.

Sorry @rudy - currently on the third listen, will let you know soon what I thought.

In the meantime - here is one of my favourite albums of all time. Dead Letter Office and Volunteer are just breathtaking.

Yeah its a spectral shall we say, but it's stunning!

Oooh, this has just come on - my Dad had an album by these that opened like a packet of matches from a hotel chain. Such a tune;

Right round one of music swap shop

The Roots - Undun

If you’ve already heard I’ll pick you another one 

Ok, so I was I bit out of my comfort zone with this. My hip-hop knowledge is limited to the usual white boy stuff - Public Enemy, Wu-Tang, N.W.A, Kendrick Lamar etc etc

I really loved The Other Side but tracks 12, 13 and 14 were the standouts. Loved all three as part of that movement. Having a little dive into some other stuff following this - see what comes up. Thanks, really enjoyed listening to it.

 

So onto my next @Rudy. I was going to go with Velvet Underground and Nico following on from MC5 but this isn't a family tree of music game so I'm going to go with one of my favourite bands of all time, Pavement and their album Brighten The Corners.

Some Pavement purists will say you need to go Slanted and Enchanted-Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain-Wowee Zowee and they are three of the best alternative rock albums of the 90s BUT hear me out. I think Brighten The Corners is really overlooked and is the most accessible of all of Pavement's albums. Its a good place to start before you get into all the lovely oddness. Some people just get stuck on the difficult songs and then can't unearth the pop genius gems.

Also, in the years of listening to Pavement, its the album I oddly have come back to the most. Just not a bad song on it.

I’ll give that a go. I’m a velvet underground fan, that era of nico VU, I’m pretty big into

I’m gonna go big with what I consider one of the greatest hip hop albums ever made 

Nas illmatic 

The albums in hip hop before this were creating a path for this album but then this set the bar for everything else and there’s not many I think have beat it.

Schooled by Rakim, inspired by KRS, BIg Daddy Kane, Production by DJ Premier, Q-Tip, Pete Rock, LES, Large Professor.

When west coast hip hop was taking over nothing from the east was really competing until The Wu Tang clan in 93 and even then they were only really big in NY.

Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, Harlem where the main boroughs 

No one had heard of Queens

Illmatic changed all that. 20 years old when he released it.

9 songs, no featured artists which is virtually unheard of in 90s hip hop

It sounds like 90s New York. Nas put Queens on the map. Without Nas there would be no biggie, no Jay z, no DMX, no Kendrick.

If hip hop was that evolution poster this would be the album stood upright.

Ive got a feeling you may have heard it if you have I have a back up 

Ace when you suddenly stumble across something like this on YouTube - a great band covering another great bands best ever song!!

Snuff…. Waiting Room by Fugazi!!

 

I saw some band covering 'Pet Sematary' by The Ramones, the lead singer ticked many boxes; she could sing, blonde, skinny, looked like a chic heroin user (meaning debauched but still good-looking, not a toothless fan of Nile Rodgers). Right up my street.
