Leeds

Five Years on Ziggy Stardust has to be up there but I fricking love 'Don't Bang The Drum' on the Waterboy's 'This is the Sea' Has the best opening of any opening song ever. Leaves me breathless.

Agreed. Jainie Jones on the Clash's debut is also a great opener.

Transmetropolitan on the Pogues' debut Red Roses for me. I can only imagine what it would have been like as someone's first introduction to them in the mid 80s.

Don’t Bang the Drum is amazing.

I forgot everyone’s favourite guilty pleasure - Bat Out of Hell. Heck, the intro alone is better than most songs.

Although, if you use vinyl, you could accidentally play side B and get the 9 minute version of This Corrosion- possibly one of the best late night loud driving tunes ever

Definitely. Lucrecia, My Reflection was the other good one I remember.

And Temple of Love....got a feeling it was never a UK album track though (excluding reissue and specials)?"

It was originally released as an EP in 1983.

Calling those two up right now. How have I not thought of them in decades?

I’m the same. But every once in a while I listen to them both and am still blown away by how epic they sound!

For epic, I think Mr Hussey can give his former band mate a run for his money with Tower of Strength

Yup - that and the long version of their cover of Like A Hurricane."

I get your point, but Elizabeth my dear is under a minute, Don’t Stop is Waterfall backwards with some random vocals on top. Considering they had b sides as good as ‘Mersey Paradise, ‘Standing here’, ‘Going down’ and ‘Where angels play’ on the singles, was a strange choice.

That was released as a single a year before the album come out, so would have been a bit cheeky putting it on the album.

I’ve never heard of a band called EVER, so they can’t be that overrated.

But you’re wrong, listening to ‘Fools Gold’ for the first time blew me away. It was like discovering a new colour, didn’t know where the sound come from. Now, I can see the influences, but at the time, fuck it was awesome. Still sounds fresh.

I’m be the first to admit he can’t sing for shit live. I saw them at Spike Island in 1990 and his voice was ok. I couldn’t bring myself to see them live after they reformed, I’m not interested in bands doing the nostalgia tours, especially not them, I thought they were better than that.
