Here's why I love this site:- 7 in a row great tunes! But completely different! @staceykitson’s Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin; @Thayer’s I want you to get MAD by B Lett; @layla’s The Robots by Kraftwerk; @NLyman’s Electricity by OMD; @simonp’s Expo '86 by Death Cab for Cutie; @yaili’s Ain't No Sunshine by Michael Jackson; @HeathenAngel’s Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield. where else would you get that diversity?
@alisonsghost I must admit, I first listened to them years back purely because of their name (it's taken from a Bonzo Doog Doo Dah Band song) and discovered that I actually loved their music. If you've not heard anything by them then this album (just re-released in deluxe 10th anniversary format) is a great one to listen to first
@simonp Glad someone else listens to things for reasons like that :) It's when you start buying stuff you haven't heard because you like the artwork that you really need to worry.
@simonp Bet you never bought anything as bad as Welcome To The Black Parade or whatever its called by My Chemical Romance. Thought if they'd heard of The Chymical Wedding of er, thingy, they must be intelligent, thoughtful and lovers of beautiful graphics too. Wrong!!

Crazy. Still love it although I think that The Photo Album is still my favourite for purely sentimental reasons.

@tomdwilly Photo Album remains my favourite too. And Movie Script Ending possibly my favourite DCFC song.

@simonp Great minds...

@eoinoriordan and precisely why I seem to spend so much of my day on here!
Niels_Footman
I refuse to accept that
simonp
@Niels_Footman I'm assuming you mean the age of the Jam rather than the Jam itself...

for @tomdwilly not sure I'd seen this before http://youtu.be/DmsEAWQwHY4

@simonp, absolutely
alisonsghost
@eoinoriordan Couldn't agree more. Recently I've found it hard not to like everything I listen to!
alisonsghost
@simonp I haven't heard them before. Really good. Sounds stupid, but I've always loved their name!

@alisonsghost er that should be Dog, not Doog: that must be their Dutch tribute band

@simonp Will definitely take that advice. I've got to stop coming here though because I always end up with ten more wonderful things to listen to :)
simonp
@alisonsghost oh I've certainly done that!

@alisonsghost well yes, I can see how that would disappoint....
