I want to download a classic album onto my phone through Spotify

[World's End Stella]

Something with hardly a single song that falls into the 'filler' category so that I can listen to all of it comfortably.

Suggestions please.

Noticed they were in Belfast... will only be about the 30th time I have seen them :yikes:

[World's End Stella]

So far I have downloaded Rubber Soul and Purple Rain. Thought about London Calling but not sure I could listen to that many Clash songs in a row.

Just have to let Josephine Baker Collection finish first, then on to Rubber Soul, I think.

The Clash. Wildly overrated bunch of fùcking chancers imo.

[IUFG]

The Orb’s Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld – The Orb
Leftism – Leftfield

Nail and head.

I could add

Orbital - Orbital II
Ice Cube - The Predator
Big Audio Dynamite - This is Big Audio Dynamite
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Prodigy - Fat of the Land
Röyksopp - Melody AM
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
Wu Tang Clan - Enter 36 Chambers :jorge:

I could go on...

Joe Strummer and Shakin' Stevens were mates back in the day :walkswaywhistling:

I like the odd song i.e. Train in Vain, Should I Stay etc however I can't imagine listening to them for more than 3 or 4 songs before I wanted something else

They did some great songs over the years but I can't say I could listen to whole album of theirs. Despite owning them all. Sandinista could have been a great album if it was just two sides of vinyl instead of six.

No ****'s mentioned Astral Weeks ffs. :-(

I watched a Sky Arts program on them just recently, inputs from various chancers plus Mick Jones plus Robin Banks.

They were a good band, one absolute classic album and 2-3 others good. The program was a little over the top all the same.

I could be mistaken but I think one contributor may have referred to them as the best, or most important, band ever.

[Ash]

:nod: Mick Jones' ego span completely out of control there. Not sure what drug he was taking that rendered his critical faculties inoperable while he was insisting on adding complete dross to what should have been a fine album, but I'm amazed that no-one was able to stop him.

Yeah, I'll admit that the hyperbole about them from punk-era cünts does probably poison my feelings about them. In fact, I strongly feel that the whole pùnk thing was a load of old böllocks and that, if they were a good band, The Clash would have been a much better band if they hadn't been hitched to the whole punk thing, which was all posturing nonsense.

Big Audio Dynamite is surely evidence that Mick Jones is not a man to trust alone in a recording studio?

Arguably The Jam were the one true punk band.Get the old 1/2/3/4 100mph stuff out of your system and move on.The Clash did with Dub and Reggae but sort of couldn't break out of that.

[Ash]

I saw that too. I like The Clash, but how any muppet could say that while The Jam and The Stranglers were both making better albums than The Clash at the same time and most importantly, in the same genre, boggles belief.

But like the other really really good punk-era band i just mentioned, they had both been doing their own thing for years, and just sped up what they were playing when punk came along.

Of course it depends what punk is defined as. For some it was posturing with safety pins, for others, playing at 100pmh. For me it was an energetic rebellion expressed through music.

Yeah but the music was a bit sh1t and the rebellion seemed to end with most of them sat in a dark room with a needle in their arms. :shrug:

Well,you could have mentioned Weller's monkey boots on the sleeve of AMC for a start.
Monkey boots :sigh:

Actually, no. It was a revolution that shaped what happened afterwards. As for your opinion as to what is shít, you continuously demonstrate that you live in a binary word where personal taste and subjectivity have no meaning, so ner. :vsign:

Look, we all retain soft spots for the music of our youth that are impervious to critical reason, don't we? Hence I still love Prince and The Smiths and can even listen to Tears For Fears with a large degree of pleasure (albeit when no-one else is around).

The one I'm totally over these days is Joy Division. Loved it as an angsty teenager. Think it's unlistenable shïte these days.

No, that's Burney you're thinking of there. ;-)

But seriously, did people really like the music? Not the whole effect, I got that too. But the music itself, of itself, on its own.

People really liked it?

[TheCurly]

Something with hardly a single song that falls into the 'filler' category so that I can listen to all of it comfortably.

Suggestions please.

Oh and not forgetting:
The Band - music From The Big Pink and
Bob Dylan's Desire (which is far superior to Blood On The Tracks as Emmylou is on it.FACT)

I borrowed this from a friend in school who was into his King Crimson and the Grateful Dead and what not.Was hardly on the turntable for 5 minutes when my dear old mum threatened to call the priest.

No need for thanks.

As for the lyrics, you have to remember that they wrote an album that was about Primal Scream Therapy and I still liked them. Listening to it now is hardly likely to change anything, is it?

It's the musical equivalent of what Olivier does to Hoffman in Marathon Man.

Never really warmed to the program as largely I was of the view that Mark Lamarr was a twát.

NMTB, the LP.

4 singles, each a classic, few others decent tunes (New York). Some ****e on it too mind you.

Difficult to argue that AITU or GSTQ are not the definitive songs.

This swamp is a lot bigger, deeper, and with more vermin than anyone realized! Tell you what, he hasn't lost any of his supporters, which is all he has, really. Everyone is being exposed, so to speak, that's for sure. I'm enjoying the implosion. The Swamp have only themselves to blame. Their behavior created Trump.
