"I Die, You Die" - Gary Numan Telekon is Numan's best album. Someone tell me I'm wrong!by zoo
But Sunburst Finish and Country Life are excellent albums...no boobs were necessary.by zoo

Bruce Watson - Big Country and Foreigner....though the one in Foreigner joined in 2011 and the band hasn't recorded anew album since 2009 (I had to look that up, BTW...I don't know my Foreigner history that well).

Ira, this is awesome, especially for the soundtrack info since those are often songs that aren't on an artists' proper albums. Always cool when you find a track that you didn't know existed by a favorite band. For example, the soundtrack below includes a song by The Damned that I've never heard. I just listened on YouTube...it's not a great song, but definitely cool to hby zoo

My dog's name is Sophie, and I always joke with my wife that she's going to die any day now. So I chuckled at the headline on Pitchfork: "Sophie is Dead." I know I shouldn't have, but that was my gut reaction. Anyway, no, never heard of her before seeing the headline about her death.by zoo
Madeline Kenney - Didn't like this song all that much, but explored some of her other stuff that I liked better. I would bet she's a big Cocteau Twins fan. Yard Act - I like it! Another in the TV Priest, Fontaines DC mold of Fall-influenced band.by zoo
Some good stuff on here...and some not so good stuff, but overall very enjoyable. Who knew Gary Oldman could sing so well? And one other comment...the older Trent Reznor gets, the more he sounds like Elvis Costello!by zoo
They haven't recorded an episode since Nov. Their goal was to cover all of the years from 1965-2000, but they didn't too far. I was happy to see they spent TWO episodes covering 1979.by zoo
On Spotify and other places one listens to podcasts. I'm pretty obsessed at the moment. Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness (you probably know who they are) are insightful, analytical, and intelligent. And funny at times. I highly recommend listening if you haven't already! From Steven Wilson's website: On The Album Years podcast, long term friends, collaborators and music nerds Sby zoo
The first one I thought of off the top of my head: Thin Lizzy - Fighting My favorite album of theirs, but that cover is repulsive. It was their second album with the Gorham-Roberston guitar duo, and their sound was considerably tougher than the previous Nightlife album. But it would have been better for them to just let the music do the talking if this was their idea of what "tough&quoby zoo
801, thanks for including Push/Button/Press. The singer/guitarist/songwriter is a friend of mine. The band has been kicking around for a long time and they recently (last 4 years or so) started getting some attention, including a recording deal. I'm going to let him know you played the song on your show. For any others interested in their music, the new album is available on Bandcamp.by zoo
801, check your PM!by zoo
As usual, I checked out a few. TV Priest - Very interesting, though I've heard them before. A reminder that I want to check them out further. Here Lies Man - Reminds me of early BOC. Just has a similar feel if not sound. I liked it! London Grammar - Beautiful! Her voice reminds me of someone else, but I can't place it.by zoo
I don't read many music biographies or books on music, for that matter. But I do have Captain Beefheart: The Biography arriving soon from Amazon. I've also read Rip it Up and Start Again and enjoyed it very much. About 25 years ago I read This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band. That's a really good book as I remember it, though as you can imagine, Robbieby zoo

This wasn't terribly hard....I came up with about 12-13 that I would even think of including in a top 10, so narrowing down to 10 wasn't too much of a problem. I will say though that I'm surprised none of you have yet to mention the #1 album on my list. 1. Magazine - The Correct Use of Soap 2. XTC - Black Sea 3. Ultravox - Vienna 4.

If I had to make a list of my 20 favorite songs ever, "Sister Seagull" would probably be included.by zoo
I admit that I don't listen to the show, but each week I look up some of the songs on Spotify and find things I like. This week, I'm finding Lost Horizons quite interesting. For those that don't know (and I didn't until now), it's a project of Simond Raymonde from Cocteau Twins and some drummer I don't know. Each song on the album has guest musicians and vocalists.

I read "Beach Bunny" as "Bad Bunny" and was going to comment. (Bad Bunny is big in my house, BTW. He's also one of the biggest pop stars in the world now, apparently.) Never heard of Beach Bunny.by zoo
I was 8. I can remember my dad mentioning it...perhaps he was discussing it with my mom? I can't remember much other than my dad saying something about it. Anyway, I've forgotten a TON from that period of life, being that it was 40 years ago, but I remember that little snippet.by zoo
I know there are a few of you on here. Just in case you aren't aware, it was a pretty big year for fans of BOC. First, the band released it's first album in forever called The Symbol Remains. It doesn't rank up there with the classics, but it's got some good tunes on it. And Eric Bloom has regained his voice (to an extent), and is sounding much stronger than he has in a whby zoo
This band has been around for a while, but they just crossed my path a couple of weeks ago. Maybe some folks here know of them? Here's a brief bio: "Federale is a seven-piece ensemble spearheaded by longtime Brian Jonestown Massacre bassist Collin Hegna, the band was conceived as an outlet to channel inspiration from ‘60s & ‘70s European soundtracks, particularly those from Italyby zoo
My thoughts on The Style Council: 1. As much as I love Paul Weller, the music and politics of TSC were ham-fisted and, IMO, possibly insincere in the long term. Though The Jam had been around for a while, Weller was still quite young when TSC launched and the overall aesthetic of TSC was naive and pretentious. 2. Following up on #1, once TSC ended, Weller dropped the politics from his musicby zoo
Not that anybody asked, but since I like doing these things (especially with bands with minimal recording output), here is my ranking of the BBD albums, best to worst: 1. Sunburst Finish 2. Futurama 3. Modern Music 4. Drastic Plastic 5. Axe Victimby zoo
