Not only that -- they played a few gigs as a 3-piece, and recorded the original version of "Ceremony" that way -- but Gillian Gilbert withdrew in 2000 or so after her (and Steve Morris's) daughter became ill, and instead of rejoining, they made Phil Cunningham an official member for the last album, so they don't qualify on two grounds.

The first thing I remember from Hindu Love Gods was a single (purplish cover) with a version of the Easybeats' ""Gonna Have a Good Time Tonight." Ah yes.... http://home.att.net/~rarebird9/hlg.html There it is. I recall not liking the single much, though I might feel differently now. I had barely heard of the Easybeats, back then. They were just the band that Bowie covered on Pin-Ups. I wish I had a mp3 of REM's version of "See No Evil." On a fanclub single, I believe, and I saw them do it live around 1987.

I think there are a lot of us. For me, the complete opposite. I utterly missed the Hip Hop boat, and only recently (circa 2002) "discovered" what I'd been missing; after which I became convinced -- albeit a decade or so too late -- that Public Enemy rules. 1980 remains my own personal musical anno mirabilis. Robyn's "Underwater Moonlight," U2's debut LP "Boy," Rush's "Permanent Waves," The Cure's "Seventeen Seconds," and best of all, The Talking Head's "Remain in Light" and Bowie's "Scary Monsters," both of which are on my Top Ten Holy Fuck Albums of All Time List. Ah, sweet 1980. Hell, I'm even kind of fond of Yes' "Drama." And by the way -- Rush! Man, give them credit. It was only *one* album with Rutsey, but since then, it's been those three guys for over 30 years! That's a long time to be so awesome all the time. - --Quail PS: My favorite U2 albums are "Achtung Baby," "Joshua Tree," "Unforgettable Fire" and "Pop." But oh, there's all so freaking good. ALL OF THEM. PPS: I cannot say the same for Rush. Guys...? What the fuck with "Hold Your Fire?" What *is* that on the cover, one ball each? Thank God for "Counterparts."

Re "KIng of the Road": Note that Mills is yelling key suggestions at Buck the whole time, and they are all wrong, so that doesn't help matters (Mills is getting the notes right but hasn't worked out the over all key yet). Also, they are drunk. The last phrase is, of course, key. I don't remember that Mills was always wrong - but I haven't listened closely to it for quite a while.

Ah, sweet 1980. "Remain in Light" is an all-timer for me, too, and that there is a good year. Thinking abstractly on my Top 10, I'm pleased to discover that it covers a lot of chronoolgical ground. Some pileups around '65-'69 and '77-'80, but otherwise fairly evenly distributed throughout the rock era. PS: My favorite U2 albums are "Achtung Baby," "Joshua Tree," "Unforgettable Fire" and "Pop." But oh, there's all so freaking good. ALL OF THEM. I'd have to rate "Unforgettable Fires" as my favorite, but I imagine there are those who consider it U2's "Fables". Never listened to "Pop" that much, admittedly. PPPS: If anyone on the list has not bought the new Tool album by now, you > have until July 1. Then You go in my kill file.

It's also, I > think, rather out of print. I should digitize the LP. I remember the tracks from that on the "Portable Music" cassette sounding pretty good and wanting that LP pretty badly until CASUAL GODS came out. Oddly I wouldn't end up owning either the first Tom Tom Club record *or* Byrne's Catherine Wheel until years and years later, when they were about 15 or 20 years old, and liked both more than I'd thought I would. I've noticed also as a relative latecomer to, say, the Raincoats, early PIL, Bush Tetras, Berlin-era Bowie and a few others that that dense rhythmic art-funk sound from the early '80's holds up a LOT better than the standard-issue rock sound of the time as recently discussed. "Bush of Ghosts" sounds pretty much contemporaneous with, say, Massive Attack. Or it's just me. - -Rx ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2006 12:56:12 -0700 (PDT) From: Jeff Dwarf Subject: Re: old mozzer Spotted Eagle Ray wrote: > Ah.

It was overall better than Get Ready, but it didn't really have anything that special on it either. Nothing as good as "Crystal" (even with the lyrics problems on that one, but no one ever listened to New Order because of how Bernard Sumner turns a phrase) but nothing as bad as "Rock the Shack" or "Turn My Way" or .... "Krafty" is a nice little single. But it used at Amoeba, rip it, and return for the insurance. Or don't bother. "A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer." -- Mitch Hedberg . Tired of spam?

I would add Peter Gabriel's III, the first X "Los Angeles" and Kate Bush's "Never For Ever". I tend to like the even years in the 80's better than the odd ones. I would streach out Rex's 65-69 pile up to '65-'71 to cover "Layla", "Live at the Filmore East", Tull's "Stand Up" and The Pretty Things "Parachute".

But what's strange about $8.91 - when there are 9 tracks at 99 cents each? Weird that it's available there but not in "real" form.

However, I don't mind if other people like them. They are pleasant and jangly enough. I saw REM open for other acts twice (once for Elvis Costello and once for I'm not sure whom - maybe Squeeze) waaaaaay back and they just didn't do it for me. However, I heard How Soon Is Now on a college station and flipped out. That was me. Not you. If Radio Free Europe drove you insane, that's fine. My music career went on hiatus for about 8 years in 1988, so I can't comment on the exquisite nature of the releases of that year. Hey! It's raining in Boston! What a fucking surprise.

It was a confused time, Reagan and all. So many albums were released then that would become permanent faves.it took me a bit to sort through a list, and to correct my memory on some things (I thought Priest's "Screaming for Vengeance" was '81, but it was a year later).
