@attackdog – which War on Drugs album? and I assume Race for Space is the PBS album?

Thanks everyone. I will get to work and post the results as soon as I can

See Salman Rushdie’s The Ground Beneath Her Feet for another in the sub genre of crap novels by major novelists about rock bands.

I’ve ordered Utopia Avenue and can’t wait to read it on my summer hols. The only disappointing one for me is Number 9 Dream. I’d say Cloud Atlas is his greatest – give it a go, but give it time as well. It takes […]

Van wouldn’t have done Brown Eyed Girl in a million years. Full Force Gale, or Cleaning Windows, maybe.

Feel my pain trying to spreadsheet the shit out of all this.

That said – keep the votes coming. Just a few hours to go!

these days you can get kits which aren’t just a concentrate, but include malt, and hops – its still dead easy but a bit more satisfying, and, I think, produces better beer. There are several on-line suppliers; I […]

Really sorry to hear this; that’s no age.

It’s clear that whilst there is a bewilderingly eclectic range in the Afterword’s taste, pop, r and b, grime, hip hop Etc are largely of minority interest here. Will be interesting to see how our tastes differ fro […]

Two nice lists from the Baron and Mike there, though you bastards will keep adding yet more albums to my already unmanageably gargantuan spreadsheet.

Keep these late entries coming.

Ha ha – I fear I’m picking you up for repeated wrongness today…..

You’re right – it’s ages since I listened to it and it’s easy to comment based on false memory rather than actuality. So I’ve just listened again. And guess what – it’s even better than I remembered. No, really; I […]

Didn’t know about that album. It’s out of stock at the moment but have placed an order in the hope they get some more in. Thanks for the tip – I saw that trio in Manchester, maybe a couple of years earlier, and […]

I generally bow to your ineffable rightness on all things musical. On this one, however, I think you’ll find that you are – how can I put this? – wronger than a wrong thing that is entirely wrong.

Yes, I was maybe being a bit harsh, and it was actually Senor I had in mind. On first listen it was a bit disappointing and an odd choice – I agree Abandoned Love is much better

Final weekend for your votes folks. We’re up to 553 albums now. Ye Gods…

Well I’ve listened to it all of once and first impressions are very good. Only issue for me is that they are a bit like Richard and Linda Thompson – the bloke should really stick to his superb guitar playing and l […]

I bought it on vinyl when it came out and it’s my favourite Jackson album as well, alongside the criminally underrated Blaze of Glory. Seen him live four or five times over the years and he’s never been less than superb.

Came on here to post the same thing but you beat me to it! I’ve just noticed this on Spotify and hadn’t heard anything about it in advance – looks like they’ve just put it out there without fanfare. Can’t wait to […]
