classic albums - tonight... ITV - 12:30am a good album, yes, but a classic album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't know but I really want to get the 2 disc The Raven album! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Definitely classic! But I like The Blue Mask more. But it isn't up to me, it's up to ITV. |
||||||||
|

|
I've played and know the bass player off of this album, Herbie Flowers :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You've 'Played' Herbie Flowers? You's a true Playa!!! Sorry, I know what you mean. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've seen that one before I believe... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beat me to it! |

The only classic Lou Reed album would be "METAL MACHINE MUSIC" ;) Could we consider that to be IDM? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That was rsponsible for the tightening of sooo many contracts!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my vote is a resounding of course transformer is one of my most favorite albums EVER I would call metal machine music IDM I would not, however, call it my fav. lou reed... or even palatable it's VERY good to listen to if you're making angry art |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
metal machine music is "intelligent dance music"? that's just as weird as that kid who called godspeed IDM |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, you're right but the idea of kids dancing around to metal machine music is too funny to pass up |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
by the way... stephen hawking's football boots? that's comedy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a good album, but it has a few dodgy tracks on it, so I don't think it can be classed as a 'classic' album - plus the cover is just awful! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wasn't it produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson (Bowie's "Ziggy"-era guitarist)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I believe that you're right! I'm sure Bowie co-produced it anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe not the best album everr, but a classic it is. i watched it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cool! I actually managed to retain a little nugget of rather useless trivia within my long term memory. I'm happy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey I wouldn't use me as evidence of anything! I have an equally bad memory! |
||||||||

Just found this: "Personnel: Lou Reed -vocals, guitars Mick Ronson -guitars, piano, recorder Mick Ronson, David Bowie, and Thunder Thighs -backing vocals Herbie Flowers -bass, string bass, tuba, backing vocals" So it looks as though we were at least partly right! Also check this out: http://www.superseventies.com/spreedlou.html It's got the original Rolling Stone review of Transformer from 1973. The reviewer says that "Perfect Day" is probably the weakest track, and that it's a song about drinking Sangria in the park with a girlfriend. I could be wrong, but I heard that song was actually about heroin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I heard it was about heroin - I guess they mean that they 'I'm glad I spent it with you' refers to the H? who knows! I prefer his VU track 'heroin' in that case! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate that hippy Rolling Stone editiorr that keeps having his pointless input into the classic albums show. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Isn't that 80s tune, "Golden Brown", also about smack? "Golden brown, texture like sun, etc". And yes, it's pretty obvious what the VU track "Heroin" is about! What other songs can we think of that were written about skag? Or cocaine? Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" has cocaine addiction/paranoia written all over it. One of my favourite ever pop songs too. I downloaded an IDM remix of it once - can't remember who is was by, it was really fucking good though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's The Stranglers, manic - great tune from a great album (La Folie) - 1981 I believe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, 'cocaine' is a track by clapton ain't it? let's see -- 'cocaine blues' by johnny cash! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cool. Might have to give it a listen some time. I have a friend who's really into the Stranglers, so when I eventually return to the UK I'll borrow some CDs. Wish I could remember who that Ashes to Ashes remix was by. It was totally amazing. Everything had been fed through loads of effects and there were some really nice drums. The vocals were still on there, but heavily soaked in effects. It was really lovely. |

Loads of songs by that great 90s band Suede are about drugs....... do you like them Marlowe? Dog Man Star is one of my all-time favourite records. Mind you, only the first two records (and a B-sides compilation) are actually worth owning, because once Bernard Butler left they became an utter pile of festering wank. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

|
|
I really liked the first Suede album, to the extent of buying a T-shirt, purple, with 'so we are a girl we are a boy' (or whatever it was) :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wow, Suede T-shirts eh? They also had a pink one around the same time with the legend "GAYANIMALSEX" emblazoned across the chest. It was skin tight, too, and obviously extremely camp. I didn't buy one though. I was 13 at the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow I never saw that one - couldn't have made it up to aberdeen! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was banned in HMV stores! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahah really? :D The prudent early 90s! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would have bought that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most lou reed solo albums suck but theres some good stuff, metal machine music is nice, anyone like his new one, The Raven? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm sooooo tempted to get that, i haven't got any Lou Reed solo stuff but this one looks really interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never a frown with golden brown ;) i got la folie today for 2 squid! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lou Reed is an asshole though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why is that? I think he's a sweet widdle man! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
£2?! how'd u manage that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got La Folie for free when I was 18, by 'borrowing' it from my friend and never returning it! :P |
||||||||
