Best 3 Album Run

[The Subhuman]

Gig as in a band ?

Sara does play guitar in a band, but it’s as likely she’s out watching someone else play

Excellent I used to be a roadie best job I ever had by a mile !

[Muppet the Cat]

Not just because I have chosen a live album but rather than dubbed and re dubbed in the studio live albums are when bands are at their best . So I vote live albums should be included.

Thing is, how many live albums are really 'live' ?

In many instances isn't it widely accepted that bands try to fix mistakes or make tweaks, meaning that only a certain percentage of a live album is actually live........and the rest of what you hear is actually performed in the studio as an overdub, which is then mixed into the live recording to make it all sound seamless.

I doubt many live albums are actually the band getting on stage, playing their set and that being recorded and that being committed to vinyl/tape etc..

[CUSSIE01]

That’s a heck of a line-up Sara. Must have a listen to some of recommendations .

[1964white]

I own about 105 of those albums

[1964white]

It's a start!

Thing is, are there some of those 50+ albums I haven't got, should have a pride of place on my shelves?

[Clacton White]

UK Subs
Another Kind of Blues
Brand new age
Diminished Responsibility
( Studio albums ...Crash Course was live album )

[Clacton White]

Chelsea.....band not blue scum
Chelsea
Alternative Hits
Evacuate

Killing Joke
Absolute Dissent
MMXII
Pylon

[Mrs64]

Those are the ones I'd have picked!

Three of his best albums Sara.

[ShaunL]

Love Everybody Knows, Tonight's The Night and Zuma too.

Freedom through to Sleeps With Angels was another good run.

If you have Spotify Sara have a listen to my mates song C E O by Kevin Smith & The Seven Story Jumpers.
O K not the most prestigious of awards he won a WAMI (West Australian Music Industry) for songwriting

[Clacton White]

That makes four selections, with the Stranglers. Which one do you want to drop?

Chelsea ....not many would have heard of them .Better than Subs but more will have heard of UK Subs .

Chelsea supported The Damned at my first every gig along with Dr & the Medics

[Clacton White]

Righto. Always preferred Subs myself. Both still going, which is a testament.

Yes and Charlie Harper must be getting near to a letter from the King now , he was old , for a punk , when the band started out. Got to be near the ton now . Mind you , an energetic pensioner .

Remember Chelsea.

Charlie Harper is a legend

[ShaunL]

Great sound. I'm somewhat traumatised by harmonica playing though, after being in a band with one who would not shut up!

I found lead singers the hardest to put up with , they thought they were the be all and end all of a band when it is really the lead guitarist.

[Clacton White]

Looked him up - he was 32 when they started in 1976, and he's 79 now, bless him!

Though 32 doesn't sound old , this was a new music genre coming through, it was mainly people of 20ish or under involved.,.then you get your youth involved later, I think maybe the only older person involved in a band that was punk related might be Jet Black ( Stranglers ) ......mind you Debbie Harry is 78 now I think so she wasn't average punkster age , but US punk was around before UK.....get ready for the argument in that one .

[ShaunL]

Awful to be in a band with someone like that. The dynamics between the players are what make for a good band.

Do you play?

I was a roadie had a great time doing it worked for 4 different bands in the 80s. Was on the dole at the time and got paid cash in hand so it was good extra money .

[Durly]

My best mate used to know Gene October, as he house shared with a mate of his in the late 80s/early 90s.

[Madron]

1304 has nabbed my first choice, so I'll pic Manics

The Holy Bible
Everything must go
