@Matt what’s your favorite RTJ album? I’ve really only gotten into RTJ4 and haven’t listened to any others

[popvulture]

Surprising. For once my number one isn’t Steely Dan

[Matt]

@SKT I bounce around among all four. I don’t think I have a favorite.

[popvulture]

I think RTJ2 is probably my fave but yeah not an even remotely bad one in the lot.

@Tago-Mago hell yeah In Flames! Takin me back… might put on Lunar Strain in a minute.

[Tago Mago]

@popvulture surprisingly, their latest release isn't complete rubbish. First time I was able to say that in almost 20 years

[SKT]

I mean this is pretty spot on

Listened to the new albums from Carol Hodge and Beans on my drive home and remembering a great day with @endo and Mrs E a few months back! These tracks stood out at first listen.

'She Past Away' is a Gothic-Rock band from Turkey. If you don't know them, check them out!

I know nothing about the memorial this was performed at , and mean no disrespect whatsoever, but its a super impactful version of this song

I'm spending a little time listening to Slade tonight. Much derided when they were current (by me as much as anyone). But they were of their time, and actually, I think surprisingly good upon reflection...

I guess, I could have posted this in unpop opinions too......

I'm of the younger generation who can appreciate their stuff

Was it general distate for glam back then or just Slade ?

Or maybe just Hills chompers and midevil page-boy hair?

@GraemeE I was a big fan of Slade's music and at the time was in a band that covered 2 of their songs. Their live shows involved ,in my opinion, way too much of being told to clap your hands ,stamp your feet etc. before they would play just about every song. When they eventually got around to playing a song they were actually quite good. The audience participation that worked so well for them at home just seemed to frustrate them,when it wasn't happening here. Saw them open for T-Rex,which was a great double bill. Fun fact...They were managed by former Animals bassist and Jimi Hendrix manager,Chas Chandler.
