I also saw Bad Co twice.
Free was my first gig ever
Sorry 64, but I just can't agree with you on The Beach Boys.1964white wrote: ↑Thu Jun 14, 2018 1:44 pm Had a Beach Boys marathon yesterday. I have 21 Beach Boys albums on my shelves so impossible to play them all
Playlist & my Top 5 albums
Pet Sounds - probably one of my top ten albums of all-time
Smile Sessions
Surfs Up
Beach Boys Today
Friends
And the rest
Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)
Wild Honey
20/20
Sunflower
Holland
L.A. (Light Album)
One of my favourite later BB songs has to be 'Lady Lynda' from their 1979 album L.A. (Light Album)
Chart stats
The Beach Boys never had a No.1 album in the UK or the USA, Pet Sounds reached No.2 in the UK.
Good Vibrations & Do It Again are the only two BB songs to raech the No.1 spot in the UK

I only had one BB album, Pet Sounds - which I only bought because it always seems to appear in the upper reaches of 'Top 10 Albums of all time' lists and so I thought that I should like it. I really tried, but just didn't. So Pet Sounds found its way to a charity shop many years ago.
Also, (although nothing to do with the music), but it must have one of the worst album covers ever - whatever convinced the BB's that a photo of themselves feeding some goats would make for great album art ?!?!?!?
So all in all if they were playing in the pub down the road and the tickets were free I probably wouldn't bother going.
In fact I like the Katy Perry and Snoop Doggy Dog California Gurls better than the BB's California Girls !!
No....
Ha ha
Black Sabbath are one of my favourite bands, although as in the early seventies (at their initial peak) I was of an age where I was still spending my pocket money on Slade, Sweet, Mud and David Bowie singles so didn't come to appreciate them until later.1964white wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 9:49 am Before I went on holiday two weeks ago I was listening to one of Ges's favourite bands, hadn't listened to their albums in a very long time
Black Sabbath
Favourite five albums
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (strange choice for my favourite Sabbath album I suspect)
Paranoid
Black Sabbath
Vol 4
Masters Of Reality
Remember seeing Sabbath in 1970 at Leeds Town Hall when I was a bit of a head-banger Paranoid was one of the great rock singles of the 70's
Chart stats
Paranoid was Sabbath's only Top 5 single in the UK
Sabbath's first six studio albums made the UK Top 10 with Paranoid their only No.1 album until the release of their latest album 13 five years ago. I doubt 13 sold nowhere near their earlier back-catalogue albums

In terms of Top 5 albums I would go for
1.= Master of Reality or Paranoid (I can never decide which one)
3. Vol 4
4. Black Sabbath
5. Heaven and Hell
Perhaps a surprising choice to include a non Ozzy album, but I think H&H is a great album and in a way halted a slide that the band were on. Also I like Dio's stuff with Rainbow - so although different from Ozzy, he was a great rock vocalist IMO.
I'd never seen Sabbath with Ozzy until going to the last night of the 'The End' tour at the Genting Arena in Birmingham in Feb last year. Whilst Ozzy clearly showed signs of his R&R excess over the years it was a great night
