Nooooooo - surely not better than Ultravox, Ha! Ha! Ha! or Systems of Romance?!!!

Possibly not, but my judgement is seriously coloured by the fact that I first heard that album under the influence of a Class B substance.

OK, let's swap it for The Dears - No Cities Left

No No No I may be a grey haired old fart windbag but only a young, spritely, youthful 66 year old. Bloody hard typing some parts of this with my fingers crossed.

 

[Acyclo]

Today I'll be mostly listening to:
King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Alan Stivell - Live in Dublin
The Long Hello - Volume One
Bob Marley - Exodus
Tomorrow is another day.

 

[nappadang]

Only 5!!!!!? Impossible, I'd have to put 2112 by Rush in, a punk classic (possibly can't stand the Rezillos). Something I used to get stoned to, Floyd, Doors etc, Rhyming Simon or Graceland, something by one of the Blues Greats (Muddy Waters or Elmore James)
These are just for starters, I could go on for ever.

Indeed. the song then merges into a wonderful instrumental. genius.

Yeah, great stuff.

 

[Chromatic]

The lengthy and eventually successful pursuit of legendarily hard-to-find recordings usually results in disappointment, in my experience.

Quite possibly. I'll let you know if I ever succeed.

Another thread resurrection, I'd forgotten about this. I found it again while searching for something and this thread came up so I decided to have a look through it on a wet miserable afternoon.

Well @NickM, if you are still here, I did eventually get hold of it, I bought a bootleg copy off Discogs, quite a while ago now, before they banned the sale of bootlegs.
Crap quality copy and it turns out your experience was right although I wasn't really expecting anything else. It was good to get to hear it though just to satisfy my curiosity.
