The John Bunch Trio  -  "The Best Thing For You"  (1987)

Posted on: 28 November 2016 by james n

Recorded during the Division Bell tour in 1994, i went to see them at Earls Court and the combination of music and light show (and the massive amount of weed smoke in the air as most of audience lit up when the concert started) made this an unforgettable show for me. I also enjoy the DVD recorded at Earls Court, especially when i have the house to myself and can listen to 'Run Like Hell' at realistic levels 

Pink Floyd - Pulse

Gary U.S. Bonds - Dedication.

Produced by a certain B. Springsteen, who also appears, assisted by members of the E-Street Band.

Great album, and one for all the Bruce fans out there.

Ralph Towner  -  "Solo Concert"  (1979)

Moby - Play.

Why?

'Cos, at the time, this was entirely unique, and, in spite of many subsequent albums, he's never bettered this one.......IMHO.

Tidal - 2009...

The calm after the storm after  the acrimonious break up of The Libertines and a very erratic solo career. Quite enjoyable.

Moby - 18.

Just to contradict my stated opinion above, I've just had a serious listen to this one, and, overall, I fink it's betterer!

AC/DC, Platinum Hits, feel in a rock mood tonight and there is very little that rocks as much as an AC/DC greatest hits album.  Wanna tell you a story.......  Flac via Audirvana/Hugo, really really loudly!

Posted on: 28 November 2016 by hungryhalibut

AC/DC Platinum Hits is something of an oxymoron, even more so than Rush's Greatest Hits, released on a CD single.
