I really love Wire, especially the '154' album, which is usually looked at as their weakest.
They have such a unique sound, I can't think of another group who has a similar sound to theirs.

During college I wore out my import vinyl copy of Pink Flag. 154 is probably my favorite Wire album. I listen to Chairs Missing the least, though "Outdoor Miner" is one of my favorite songs of all-time. I think all Wire is good, but you can't top the first three albums.

Yeah, 154 was kind of a difficult album for me for a while, and now all of a sudden it's my 2nd favorite behind Chairs Missing.

I used to listen to Pink Flag quite frequently, but not as much anymore.

It's still a good record, but I enjoy the more adventurous material on CM and 154.

 

 

I have yet to listen to their other albums.

I've heard mixed things about them.

Day after day, day after day

We stuck nor breath nor motion

As idle as a painted ship

Upon a painted ocean

Water, water everywhere

And all the boards did shrink

Water, water everywhere

Nor any drop to drink

 

Never did Samuel Taylor Coleridge sound so good........

"Natural Science" is definitely my favorite Rush song but I think "Emotion Detector" is officially my 2nd favorite.

Paul McCartney's The Songs We Were Singing is tearing my heartstrings asunder.

You can make a killer compilation of McCartney from Flaming Pie on. Since 1997 he has written so many killer songs.

Totally. The man has been on fire since 1997.

Saw him live on Sunday night. Dead God, it was wonderful. I'll review it over Christmas.

The Moody Blues are vastly underrated, IMO. Just listen to any of their albums, their songwriting was a craft, not to be reckoned with.

All their albums from Days of Future Passed through Seventh Sojourn are pretty essential, especially the first four, but really all 7 should be in most people's collections. Truly beautiful, transcendental stuff that no one ever matched in rock music. yes.gif

I'm really glad iTunes has all of Black Flag's material, otherwise I'd either have to order it online or try to find it in stores.

You know, sometimes I wish bands never evolved because so often I see fans of a band's older stuff who know that it's better than anything that band will ever make and call anyone who thinks otherwise a tone-deaf moron with no taste in music.
