Re: Albums you wish you had never bought and don't play

Can ~ Tago Mago, recommended by many, leapt in and bought the 40th Anniversary edition, so there's even more for me not to like, same with Performance: Rocking the Fillmore by Humble Pie, opted for the complete recordings, not my cup of tea, love Steve Marriot's voice from his Small Faces stuff, but 'Umble Pie, no thanks, should sample this stuff on YouTube I suppose.

There are two sides of Can's Tago Mago that stand - alongside the Future Days album - as some of my favourite music of that decade. The other two sides - when they go off on one - yes, unlistenable drug-fueled self-indulgence.

Yeah, Tago Mago started off okay, but after listening to one track in particular, 17 minutes of someone groaning, I binned them. I also bought an extended album by Young Marble Giants, really wanted to like them, and half a dozen tracks are okay, but it was too much for me. I'll never knock people for their musical tastes (I do frequently) because I used to wonder what people saw in Joy Division, now I genuinely love them. I'd like to like Captain Beefheart, but he's definitely one step beyond.

He's in IT now and doing an open uni degree

All Lizzy's albums once Robbo had left weren't much cop. Around about this time Philo, of course, got it drugs bigtime and his writing and creativity suffered accordingly

Re: Albums you wish you had never bought and don't play

One of the worst LP's I ever bought was ' Knee Deep In The Hoopla' by Starship. Love Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship too. Two of the finest bands to have come out of the USA, but that album is a pile of bland dogs turd. Grace Slick should be ashamed of herself.

I preferred Thin Lizzy in their early Eric Bell days. Infused with a touch of things Celtic before they went a wee bit more commercial.

Which drummer?

Steve Hanley, the bass player was in the Fall for almost 20 years and now works as a school caretaker.

Rattle That Lock - Dave Gilmour
I bought it believing (wrongly) that it would be a sort of one man Pink Floyd, sadly wrong.

The Electric Prunes - The Electric Prunes
An American 60's psychedelic rock band. Two really good tracks, the rest fillers of a dire standard.
