Well, I was just starting to listen to The Division Bell, until I realised that I didn't feel like listening to a load of self-indulgent masturbatory boll*cks so I've changed to Mary Chapin Carpenter.

Bit of a cross-link to the Vietnam war film thread elsewhere on the forum : On the way home tonight I listened to The Ride of the Valkyrie, ( 5 and a half minutes of pure "Apocalypse Now" Bell UH-01 Iroquois 'HUEY' mayhem ), followed by Barber's Adaggio for strings, ( for that iconic "Platoon" moment ).

Yep, I know what you mean. I can't go near any post-Meddle Pink Floyd myself nowadays. However, Ummagumma, Nice Pair, etc.. are superb.

I am currently enjoying Animals by Pink Floyd.

 

Hey you Whitehouse, ha ha, charade you are..

 

Hmm yeah. But I never thought the sentiment was genuine. I felt they wrote lyrics people wanted to hear, and therefore sell records. It didn't seem to come from the heart. Besides, Roger Waters was/is slightly f***** up himself.

 

As it happens, I do have the album, bought way back when it was first issued. I might pop it on and see how long I can stand it. :D

 

Now talk about The Grand Vizier's Garden Party, and I'm all ears.

Bye bye the last remnants of my credibility.

 

It's ok,I still listen to Raintown by Deacon Blue.I even got up and sang Dignity in a pub once.Credibility is very short lived.

Top album...and oh, the irony of singing a song called Dignity for karaoke.

Ill get slated but...

 

The Streets new album

 

Is it any good? I'll wait until I get paid to pick it up. The first two are classics and definite firm-favourites of mine but his last one was a bit mediocre. I hope he is back on track now.

 

That said, I have liked what I've heard from the new effort.

I'll say this for him, he's got a bloody good publicist. The Culture Show, South Bank Show, R4's Front Row... The Guardian 'one album per year' market is pretty much in the bag.
