Last CDs purchasedJust out of interest, which CDs have caught your fancy lately? My recent purchases have been 'The Essential Motorhead' ( a compilation of Lemmy and company's finest moments, from 'Ace Of Spades' to 'Overkill' etc) and 'Dead Letter Office' ( an REM compilation of early B sides and cover versions, including Michael Stipe and band's takes on the Velvet Underground's 'Femme Fatale' and Aerosmith's 'Toys In The Attic' among others).
I must admit I do quite enjoy browsing the racks in the likes of HMV and Zavvi- they have a nice and varied selection ( in keeping with my taste, I'm into all sorts of different listening material!)- and could happily spend hours delving through the wares on offer. I'm into music in a big way. I just love hearing things that catch my ear.

I do like living dangerously on the odd occasion...  . Nothing against the musical tastes of others- I just don't like most pop music, rock, punk etc is more my cup of tea.

Not brought many cd's lately, due to most of my money spoken for my upcoming wedding. The last cd I got was a few weeks ago Songs From The Sparkle Lounge by Def Leppard. Got a bit of cash put aside for the new Queen and Metallica albums.

Not really heard any Def Leppard to be honest, but the new Metallica album sounds like a definite must have. And congrats on the wedding front mate!

Why thank you, dear boy. Can't beat a bit of Leppard mate. Go for the first 3 albums (On Through The Night, High 'N' Dry and Pyromania). They're the heavier ones before they went mainstream with Hysteria. I like the vast majority of their stuff but the ballads can get annoying. Another good album was Slang. It was very different from their other stuff, a sort of post-grunge album. Took me a while to get into it, but it's now one of my favourite albums.

Cool. I'd heard Leppard were supposed to have been quite influential on a handful of other metal bands but I just haven't heard much of their stuff except 'Lets Get Rocked' which I thought was awful!
|
Jipdog
|
Let's Get Rocked I thought was quite a funny song. That's from Adrenalize. Not they're greatest moment. Search out the first 3 albums and play LOUD!

Duly noted sir.

Pour some sugar on me...... no that wasn't a request but a Def Leopard song I remember well
Though my favourite of theirs was this ....Love Bites

I've really got into 'Dead Letter Office' lately. I picked it up for £6 in Zavvi and it's quite interesting to hear REM covering the bands who influenced their early work- Pylon, Aerosmith, the Velvet Underground etc.
|

That actually sounds pretty decent bud 
|
Emperor Morphetine
|
It isn't bad, no. It's basically a B sides and rarities set from Michael Stipe and band's early years ( late Eighties) and as a bonus treat you get their first ever recorded EP 'Chronic Town' as the last five songs. So if you like early REM I'd recommend it.

The last few CD's I bought, and would highly recommend, were
Teddy Thompson - A Piece Of What You Need
The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound
The Script - The Script
|

What's The Script album like Nostromo? I've seen it advertised on tv and it looks good......I've been thinking about buying it.
|
Emperor Morphetine
|
Is the Bowie CD a Greatest Hits package?
|
Catnapper
|
It's not a recent compilation Morphy....I think it's about 3 years old. It's got Jean Genie, Space Oddity, Starman, Life on Mars, All the Young Dudes, Fame, Sound and Vision, Let's Dance, Oh You Pretty Things, Sorrow and lots of other of his greatest hits on it
|
Emperor Morphetine
|
Nice- I have a similar compilation album to that actually.

The singles aren't really representative of the album as it's more varied that those songs. It also has a dreaded Parental Advisory sticker, so some of the lyrics are certainly not radio friendly. Worth buying though!
