I seen the zoo tv tour at Cardiff arms park, I thought it was an amazing gig.Picked up Zooropa by U2 for a quid in my latest charity shop CD search. Not sure if I like it or not ?
Bit up and down album to be honest. Some good tracks on it though. I saw them at Wembley on their Zoo tour in the early nineties, and that was a weird concert too. Experimental they called it !
I saw U2 at Milton Keynes Bowl on their Under A Blood Red Sky Tour, and that was brilliant. The Wembley concert was really different and focused more on visual effects I thought. But still think they are one hell of a band.By the way in my opinion the Joshua Tree is one of the best albums ever.I seen the zoo tv tour at Cardiff arms park, I thought it was an amazing gig.
2 of the best songs ever recorded IMO, 'White Rabbit' is amazing, 'Somebody to Love' is a masterpiece.Listening to Jefferson Airplane’s Surrealistic Pillow with my favourites ‘somebody to love’ and White rabbit’. Grace Slick’s stunning voice....time to feed my head.

Not long in from work and it felt like the coldest day of the winter so far. But picked up 2 CDs last week from local charity shop, best of U2 1980-1990 and 1990-2000 and after copious amounts of tea and biscuits,chilling out listening to them both now. I'm a big fan again after not listening to them for an age.
One of the best bands ever ?
Give them a listen. I guess U2 have their critics,as Bono can divide opinion ! But they have some back catalogue, been going for decades. In the past week I've listened to U2, Metallica, Stones, Doors, Small Faces, Kinks, Joplin, and hits from 60's/70's. But I have to say listening to tracks by U2 have impressed me most.Must admit I’ve never been a big fan of u2. Mrs was for a while...I will listen again and see if I can gain enthusiasm.

A mate of mine gave me a double CD of Small Faces hits, great memories. And I've been a Janis Joplin fan for years.Small faces, kinks and Janis Joplin...now you are talking!!!

How much did you pay for the turntable ? I've a 100 vinyl albums but nothing to play them on. I keep saying I'll get a turntable, so I'll get one soon !Recently bought a new turntable from a charity shop,Digging through my LP's one of my favs of all time is The Rise and Fall by Madness.
One of their most underated albums I think.
£75 quid with amp and speakers real bargainHow much did you pay for the turntable ? I've a 100 vinyl albums but nothing to play them on. I keep saying I'll get a turntable, so I'll get one soon !
My wife bought me a self contained turntable with speakers & amps for about £40 and it's great going through my vinyl collection, no chance of any charity shop having anything like that up here. I was in Sainsburys again on friday and helped myself to a greatest hits cd by David Bowie, never listened to him except if he's been on radio/tv but crikey he did some great songsHow much did you pay for the turntable ?

My son last year bought me the Best Of Bowie on a double CD. Like you I've listened to him but never been a big fan. But when you sit and listen to his back catalogue, you have to agree he was a music genius as he changed style/persona in each decade, and produced singles/albums of high quality.My wife bought me a self contained turntable with speakers & amps for about £40 and it's great going through my vinyl collection, no chance of any charity shop having anything like that up here.

Listening to Station to Station album last night, its on You-Tube, give it a whirl they'll be some stuff worth listening to not on that CD, apparently Bowie was so coked up at the time of recording he only knew it was recorded in LA because someone told him later, his memory of it was gone.My son last year bought me the Best Of Bowie on a double CD.

Dylan,Bowie, 2 artists I've got into later on in life, but so glad I did !
