Yep. I think the moneyspinner they craved was the Ronaldo/Messi final but since that eluded them they'll be looking for France-Argentina no doubt.

Reading through them was a nice dose of nostalgia. Might be of interest to some on here.

That's an outrageous collection, nice shout man.

Here's another random one

Does anybody else here convert pop songs into metal riffs in their heads to see if there's any merit to them?

Was just listening to the radio and on comes Madonna with Who's That Girl and it was as heavy as fuck going through my head. Like the equivalent of a real time Instagram filter that people use to make things better looking but it's just the ears instead of the eyes

I bought the reissue in 99 and loved Behind Space, which I think I had recorded from the Metal Show. The album never clicked with me back then, but I'm surprised at how much of it still sounds familiar. I am really enjoying it now. I don't remeber it being SO folky, which is a nice surprise. I never bothered with anything else by them so maybe I should check out their other 90s albums, from before they turned to the modern groove style.

Subterranean on in the car on the way home. Sounds great as well. Delighted to have revisited this.

Each one gets less like the first one as the albums fly by. Whoracle the last good one IMO, but some like the next couple too. Awful altogether after that, though.

Always great revisiting a band or album previously written off and finding that your opinion has changed. Desaster, Godkiller, Scorpions are among the many for me like that.

Paradise Lost - Draconian Times
Down - Nola

These are still my main 2 summer albums  followed closely by Angel Dust, which will be getting a spin tomorrow

I think FIFA sees more profit in Mbappe vs Messi. The gates of corruption have been opened wide and it looks like nobody gives a fuck in the end, so expect more than one ropey decision.

England will beat Argentina and then it's just a matter of who beats England in the final from today's game.
