        @Mizmazzle I have a copy of the original version that was done in 1982. Have to see how this one comes out before I let anyone hear it.

          @Jett129 fair enough. How’s the 1982 original sound to you?

            Man I was starting to get rankled over the possibility of nobody bringing up the Slade version but @GraemeE saved the day. Their version gets my vote. And as much as I love Oasis, that version’s dead last! I give it one out of four unibrows.

              Oh nm I didn’t read far back enough. Slade addressed. Ignore my comments, except for the Oasis one.

                Much derided when they were current

                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?

                I'm not sure it was distate, it was more that we know it was generally not the most brilliantly constructed music. But that said, we all listened and danced to it.

                I had Hills chompers at the time

                          Toss up between the new Blood Incantation, Geordie Greep and Yard Act records for my AOTY...

                          My most listened to album however, is David Berman's Purple Mountains from '19. Don't think I've heard music that speaks to my soul on such a personal level as this one does, which is kind of concerning consider the whole thing is basically a sonic suicide note... but the way he addresses his anxieties, fears and insecurities in such an upbeat and idiosyncratic manner is so comforting to me.

                            First two records. If you really like them the third is fine. Masterplan is an excellent b-sides compilation. They have a lot of great b-sides.

                            That is it.

                            Masterplan gets played at least once a week here
                            half the world away my favourite track closely followed by talk tonight

                            Noel’s high flying birds is good also I had my wedding dance to if I had a gun followed by Ian Browns F.E.A.R

                                    The whole premise of Margarita at the Mall is genius too. Using the idea of drinking something that nobody really enjoys in a fake, sterile environment as a metaphore for life is so beautifully cynical.

                                    Love his work with Silver Jews, but this is undoubtedly his magnum opus. It feel weird mourning a man I hadn't even heard of until after his death, but you can't help but feel connected to somebody who was able to so poetically articulate thoughts you've had a thousands times, but never been able to adaqautely communicate.

                                      @mclaincausey What do you think about the new Billy Strings album?

                                      I love most of it. I think the production value of his records keeps getting better, and this is some of the best sounding music he's ever recorded from a sound engineering perspective. I also love most of the songs, and I think it's a solid album with a very distinct vibe to it. Truly a masterpiece, and fits so well with the rest of the catalog.
