Just 'cos that moron from the Self-righteous Bros has died, do we really have to hear that awful vocal acrobatic Karoke favorite all over Christmas? Please God No. I dread to think what will happen when Elton John dies.

I've just bought tickets to see G3 (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen) in a couple of weeks in Toronto. I've listened to Vai and Satriani for quite a bit and seen Vai live before.I haven't heard any Malmsteen before so I went out and bought...

I am buying this album tomorrow.Because I like P.I.M.P.I know this is rubbish, but I like it, I like the tune and I like the attitude.I'll tell you how I got on.

I consider myself having a fairly broad musical experience but I'm always looking for good stuff I may have missed along the way. I think it'd be cool to see some of the contributors here post their 6 favorites from any genre that come to mind with...

Following many great recommendations on the thread about RLJ's new album I ordered some of her older albums and also a couple of Shawn Colvin's offereings. All at great prices from play.comHowever, with our wonderful postal dispute throwing the UK...

Enjoyed Last weeks show and have ordered Janes Addiction & John Cale latest CD's. Also enjoyed Nitin Sawhney but not sure what to buy yet (seen recommendations from the NS thread though). Joining Jools in the studio this week, Jamaica's million selling dancehall star, Sean Paul, with tracks from his Dutty Rock album, and Hoylake's young upstarts The Coral, with numbers from their current long player Magic & Medicine. Also in the room, from Atlanta, one of the biggest MCs in hip hop,...

Just got this today, its kind of housey but with a FSOL tilt to it.Its really good.

A while back I heard a track by Wayne Shorter which I understood to be a version of one of the tracks on the Black Orpheus soundtrack. Would anybody out there know where I might be able to get hold of this? I have the OST of the film but this is not...

Hello,I was thinking this morning how the only Jamaican music I own are the Peter Tosh and Bob Marley albums you hear whenever marijuana is smoked.Does anyone have experience with Trojan Records' compilations? I've seen the box sets pop up at every...

Lately I have found the forum to be a very useful sounding board in warning me off making needless purchases of sub-standard over-hyped new releases. A recent example is the new BRMC (thanks to Alex Gerrard for that one).So - any warnings regarding...

After reading RICHYH's post about the beatles reissues I had a look at the Diverse website and came across another interesting snippit within the Classic Records Reissues postponed thread. There plan to reissue Bob Dylan recordings have been put on...

Up For ItGet it!dave

Just seen a TV double documentary on Stan Tracey, looking at his career over the decades. Makes me wish I was around to see him play in the early 60’s.Awesome.

I think this single is weak, and indicative of bands that should have stopped by now.At least the video is crap as well.

All--As the Forum's resident REM fan a couple of words are in order regarding their new CD In Time and their new DVD In View. In Time is a loose "best of" type album with a couple of new songs added. While the song list for an album like this can...

Never bought a Leonard Cohen album before but have always been slightly curious. Great reviews for the latest 'Ten New Songs' made me decide to take the plunge and I am delighted i did. Wholeheartedly recomended. Any others by him I really should ...

Just poached this from the Diverse website " THE BEATLES LIMITED EDITION JAPANESE LPs EMI in Japan are re-pressing the entire Beatles back catalogue. This includes the 15 previously released titles plus Let It Be….Naked. The 16 titles will be a...

I must have a locked groove for the seventies. After reaximanition of the Yes catalogue, and a delve in to Santana. I started poking at The Mahavishnu orchestra.What started it off was a record fair at the exhibition centre at Paris's Porte...

Hi folks.After almost 18 months without broadband, my new home town is finally getting it in December. One of the things I want to do is to discover new music via sites like the Napster-that-was. However, it's been so long without decent i.access that...

I was listening to Radio 3 the other night, mostly as back-ground music (tsk tsk) whilst reading. Lots of nice music on, but the one thing that really made me sit up and listen was "Spring" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Heard it a hundred and one times...

Hi everyone,About a year ago i discovered rammstein and think they are an amazing band. Over the last year i have been looking for similar bands that i might like - but i havent found any at all!! Anyone know of any bands with a similar style to...

Please can anyone advise recomendationed LPs of The Meters, Gang of Four and PSYCHEDELIC FURS as I don't know how I don't have much of any of them. Thanks
