It's crazy, listen a massive fan of Lennon but I don't need any more best of's or box set's. For me get Plastic Ono Band, Imagine, Walls and Bridges albums and a best of (get Lennon Legend best of) and you got all you need. Yoko must have a enough money in the bank at this point to be churning out all these best of's lol. Real Albums Plastic Ono Band Imagine Sometime In New York City Mind Games Walls & Bridges Double Fantasy Lennon Best Of/Greatest Hits Shaved Fish John Lennon Collection Imagine: John Lennon Lennon Legend Instant Karma: All Time Greatest Hits Acoustic: Best Of acoustic Lennon Working Class Hero: Definitive Lennon Power To The People: The Hits Gimme Some Truth: The Beat of John Lennon I agree there are too many Lennon compilations, but to be fair at least this new one has been remixed using the original multitracks, the same as how the recent Beatles re-releases are being handled. These tracks should sound as good as they can possibly can.

No love for Rock N Roll cover's album. I got all his stuff on Vinyl and CD and that Lennon Box set with demos and such. I got enough Lennon in my collection.

Yeah Ash made some good songs. I have a best of cd of theirs and their single Envy which was always a favourite of mine by them.

Not a big Pink Floyd fan but I like some of the more conventional songs like Learning to Fly, Comfortably Numb and the vocal part on Shine on You Crazy Diamond, but I have to say I love Take it Back, it sounds like a lost U2 song from the Joshua Tree era, you can see David Gilmour learnt some guitar tricks with The Edge.

Forgot how good Ash were. Underrated. Damn that's other band from around the Britpop era that don't get the love they deserve. It's funny too as they had three number 1 albums in the UK, won a few awards especially for the single Shining Light which is a classic. Tim Wheeler for a time there was one of the better songwriters around and he was doing this while still in his teens basically. He's only like 43 now, a bit like Gaz Coombes from Supergrass. So with the release with Trailer in 1994, Wheeler was only 17 and with Coombes with I Should Coco was only 19 in 1995. Crazy to think both were the main songwriter's in their bands. The Summer gone I was supposed to see Suede, Ash and Peter Hook & The Light and Supergrass, Echo and the Bunnymen and Fun Lovin' Criminals over two days but cause of this Co-vid it was cancelled. For me Trailer, 1977, Nu-Clear Sounds and especially Free All Angels, I do like Meltdown too but as strongly as their first four albums . Are peak Ash for me, got them on Vinyl recently and they are even better then when I last heard them. After that things got a bit hit and miss, although I think that A-Z Series would have made a great single album from the best songs from over 20 song collection. Intergalactic Sonic 7's their first greatest hits is one of best hits collections you could get. It's weird now, they haven't had a top 10 album since 2004. And I think diminishing returns on albums after such a great first four or so albums haven't helped them either. I saw them in 2001, and they did a gig with over 10,000 people and the last time I saw them a year or so ago they were second bottom on a bill for a mini festival with a about two or three hundred people watching them. If they called it quits around Meltdown era, their stock would be a lot higher today. They were never the same the moment they let Charlotte Hatherley go, even though she wasn't a big time songwriter for them just everything great about the band was around the time she was in the band. My Favourite song from them

Idiots who don't actually know what John Farnham's You're the Voice is about sang it at Chadstone. Feel for John right now. EDIT: John responds:

Listened to the new Everything Everything record today out of curiosity (not a lot of stuff coming out after this whole Covid madness) and it's quite brilliant, a shame they're not getting much exposition these days

Cue Twitter fights saying the new Steven Wilson sucks. My opinion? Not as bad as people think.

Literally every one of us on here...
2000s music sucked we complained. 20010s said hold my mic.
In retrospect, the 2000s music (especially mid 2000s) weren’t so bad.

Peter Garrett sings about giving land back to the Aboriginals but refuses to apologise to the elders he disrespected. Hypocrite.

While I find myself saying these things because of the obvious shitstorm going on in the world right now, 2016 was still a good year (personally) and 2020 has been challenging but not all bad. It's a testament that these days are what we make of it and that change, in varying degrees, can come from every individual on this planet participating in such change. No one is immune from that.

Laura Marling overlooked again. She should have won that Mercury prize.... Michael Kiwanuka was my second favorite, though. at least it went to someone worthy

It must also be the first Mercury winning album I've owned since Elbow's Seldom Seen Kid in 2008!

Very pleased for Kiwanuka as it was my favourite off the shortlist and he's a great artist I didn't dig many of the nominees this year as opposed to last year where I loved most of the records, just Kano really I don't mind Sports Team but to me they just sound like a good guitar band, nothing super exciting I also like Stormzy and recognise his cultural impact but thought Heavy Is The Head was a bit underwhelming

He's clearly a singles artist and nothing could live up to the cultural moment he produced, but it was still an enjoyable album with a nice variety of tunes. And I'm still not over this banger:

And I'm still not over this banger: That's a great video that, really dynamic and suits the music well. The scene at 1.14 is Millennium Mills, you can just see the old mill silhouetted in the background there, used in many other music videos, such as Coldplay's Every Teardrop video and The Smiths Ask (and Full Metal Jacket where all Vietnam scenes were filmed around that area!).

That's a spot and a half, nice one. Never thought I could draw such a direct line between two diametric loves (Kubrick films and Coldplay) but there we go. You live in London these days, is that right? How are you finding it?

That's a spot and a half, nice one. Never thought I could draw such a direct line between two diametric loves (Kubrick films and Coldplay) but there we go. You live in London these days, is that right? How are you finding it? I really enjoy it, although I pine for Scotland and the more remote parts, I'm certainly not in any rush to go home yet. If you embrace the diversity of the place and various cultural hotspots then its great. As long as you stay curious, then doing cultural stuff that you don't think will take your fancy often ends up being the most memorable thing. The place I mentioned in that video, Millennium Mills, is actually the area I live in the East End of London so I instantly recognise it in its various guises, whether that be in Coldplay videos, Stormzy or Full Metal Jacket. I live in an old Victorian building and my flat is the top floor and I can see that mill from my kitchen window from a quarter of a mile away. The right hand side of that 1.14 Stormzy scene is the ExCel centre (incidentally where Coldplay did the video for Clocks) and before it was turned into a Nightingale hospital for the current pandemic, is where I often worked when working from home in the Starbucks. Sticking to the Coldplay theme, my running route also goes past an old nearby Victorian pumping station (Abbey Mills Pumping Station) which is the setting for the video for Lovers In Japan. I find this quite fascinating as I seem to live in a hotspot area for Coldplay videos! Somebody who is an insider for the band must know this area very well (Mat Whitecross directed two of the said videos!). *In addition, keep going a mile east from Millennium Mills and it will take you to what was Beckton Gas Works. It's no longer there, but again was extensively used for Full Metal Jacket and of course, was the setting for D'You Know What I Mean.
