[kj] (OT) Favourite Bands/Albums

[Jim Harper]

I've noticed a similar phenomenon. In times gone by. PiL's Album and the first Underworld album would both have made my list, as would various albums by Nine Inch Nails,  Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim, The The, Faith No More, as well as multiple soundtracks by the godlike Chu Ishikawa. My choice of KJ album would have switched between the first album, Night Time, EDAVRE and Pandemonium, while my Bauhaus pick could easily have been Burning From the Inside.

Minor PiL anecdote: during my recent trip to Japan, I found myself pressured into doing karaoke, for the first and hopefully the last time. aside I scrambled to find something I liked, I noticed two Public Image songs were available. I assumed they would be 'Public Image' and 'Rise' (or possibly even 'This Is Not a Love Song'). I was very surprised to discover the tracks were actually 'Public Image' and 'One Drop'. AFAICR, the latter wasn't even a particularly good tune, let alone a hit, so it's presence on a Japanese karaoke machine was somewhat perplexing. Oh well... 


Ramble, ramble!

 Interesting.  Definitely would have
 been times in my life when Machine Gun Etiquette and/or the
 Black Album would have featured, and also Primal Scream (but
 would have been XTRMNTR).
 
 
 
 
 Seeing the Primals at Reading in 2000 was one of my top
 gigs.  Saw them there again in 2002 or 2003 and they were a
 pale shadow of their former selves.  Too many drugs or too
 much ego or possibly both.

 Hmm a difficult one, some of my all time favourite
 albums are by bands I wouldn't
 
 
 describe as among my favourites, if you get my drift. So
 will have to leave out
 
 
 SLF Inflammable Material, Talking Heads Remain In Light, Led
 Zep Physical Graffiti, and a 
 
 
 few others.
 
 
 
 
 Interesting that Night Time seems to be the fave KJ album.
 
 
 
 
 Can't leave it at 10.
 
 
 
 
 Killing Joke - What's This For
 
 
 Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
 
 
 AC/DC - Powerage (but on another day, Let There Be
 Rock)
 
 Motorhead - Ace Of Spades (but on another day, Overkill
 or Orgasmatron)
 
 
 Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman
 
 
 Husker Du - Zen Arcade
 
 
 Kyuss - Blues For The Red Sun
 
 
 Tinariwen - Aman Iman (Water Is Life)
 
 
 Jimi Hendrix - The Jimi Hendrix Concerts
 
 
 Massive Attack - Blue Lines
 
 
 Dolly Parton - The Grass Is Blue
 Metallica - Master of Puppets
 
 
 King Tubby - Dub Gone Crazy

 Afternoon all!
 
 
 
 
 
 It's completely irrelevant, but I've been meaning to
 ask the assembled company about this for a while. If you had
 to pick your top ten favourite bands, and select a favourite
 album by them, what would your choices be? For me both
 categories change on a daily basis, but I'm interested
 to see the answers. I'll go first, in alphabetical
 order:
 
 
 
 
 
 Bauhaus: Mask
 
 
 Buck-Tick: Mona Lisa Overdrive
 
 
 Einsturzende Neubauten: Haus der Luge
 
 
 Girugamesh: Music
 
 
 Indochine: 13
 
 
 Killing Joke: Night Time
 
 
 KMFDM: Nihil
 
 
 Rolling Stones: Exile on Main St
 
 
 Richard Thompson: Rumor and Sigh
 
 
 Die Toten Hosen: Ballast der Republik
 
 
 
 
 
 As I said, it's hardly important, but picking the
 collected brains about music always turns up some
 interesting choices :)
 
 
 
 
 
 Thanks!
