Fleetwood Mac: Tango In The Night

I've always enjoyed pop music. Apart from the Now... and Hits albums in the '80s, I bought albums by Kylie, Tiffany, Belinda Carlisle etc. - fuck off, nothing tops a good T'Pau or Transvision Vamp session - but the first 'proper' band album I bought was Tango In The Night in 1987, and I've loved it for the almost 40 years since.

By jaysus has it aged, it's as '80s as it gets but it's so, so good. Little Lies and Isn't It Midnight are perfect '80s pop hits, and the brilliance of Big Love is undeniable.

I'm in mullet heaven.

Sick of it All - Scratch The Surface

I was listening to Just Look Around when walking around town today, fucking hell - they were so vicious in their youth.

Nebula: Let It Burn

Mad, I went onto the Amazon app and Kindle app and it was around €7, but going through Chrome it was there for a quid, bang and done. Thanks. Very strange, but I'm very grateful.

I must go through the same channel more often, I might find more stuff marked down.

Thanks again lad.

Still up near €7 on Kindle for me, €11 for the paperback. That's on the UK Amazon now, maybe cheaper on the Irish one?

Oh nice, I have it on my kindle wish list but it was up near the tenner last time I checked. Thanks for the heads up.

I want to read that one myself but it's a bit pricey for a novella.

I'm the complete opposite when it comes to his voice, I think it sounds shit on those two, and most of the other things he's on in that period. After Vulgar Display and until Over The Under I find him unlistenable. Drugs are bad, m'kay Phil? Musically NOLA is fantastic but his screeching ruins it for me, same with Far Beyond Driven.

I had a Soulless T-shirt back in the day. Bit of advice, don't wear one when on acid. Spent hours just looking down at it - every time I took a breath the face looked like it was moving and alive.

Very uninspired. Phil's voice is in good form, but he just hasn't much to do with it.

I like the sound of that. As much as I like the proggier stuff they do, it's nice to hear the heavier sound come back to the fore.

Swedem have the right idea in lowering the age at which 'youths' can be prosecuted as adults to 14.

Indeed, those three are the only decent albums they (he) have. Each of the subsequent albums has on average one or two decent songs each (apart from Risk, that's just shite) and they're just not worth bothering post-RIP. KIMB is also shite.

A GoFindMe for them has already topped €100,000, I gather.

Yeah, no loss whatsoever as far as those 5 cunts are concerned. The concern should be for the family they nearly killed, hopefully the all pull through.

Ah feck, another legwnd gone. RIP
