Johnny's top 12 albums

Post by Gaspode » Sun Apr 19, 2020 9:23 pm

This is really for the musicologists among you, Mr Lydon's fave albums. Some surprises, some not so surprises. I have owned 9 out of 12 at some point in my life. So your favourite albums are...

Cliff Richard?
Really?

Something about that bloke troubles me.
He gives off a Jimmy Savile vibe
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.
Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.

Cliff is one of the albums I've never owned...

Cliff was Britain's Elvis don't you know, like Elvis he turned to mediocraty and easy money through the 60's. I may have mentioned this before...

Yeah, but who did he shag?
Everybody has a 'thing'
It could be girls or boys or something in between, but everybody has something.
He never says.
That makes me suspect that it's small boys.

Only girls liked Cliff,us lairy lads were fans of the Shadows.Although Move it ,is good.
I can understand a lot of his choices especially Kate Bush.
She's a lot prettier than all the others

Cliff, Tavil Singh and Kraftwerk are the ones I've never owned..
Smithy, I think I'll ignore that very frank like comment about Kate Bush😁
Tbh Poly was much prettier than Kate 🙄

The Kinks were overshadowed by the media's obsession with the Beatles/Rolling Stones. A brilliant pop combo IMHO.

Undie you should seek out early Alice Cooper stuff, especially the Killer album. As a band they were very good, the solo career following Billion Dollar Babies not so good...

I think the problem is that 80s solo hair rock image, and have never bothered to get past that

I think you may have put Vince in a pigeon hole there Undie. He was never part of that Hair Rock scene. His early stuff from late 60's early 70's is very raw and interesting...
