This thread makes me feel like home...if any of you want to spin some tunes, count me in.
When I got my first turntable, one of my first quests was to obtain all Guadalcanal Diary releases on vinyl. Then the Trip Shakespeare catalog. For the Smiths, I have Hatful of Hollow on vinyl, but all the rest (save Rank) on CD. Girl Afraid is probably my favorite. The Stone Roses first release is great. After a few drinks, I perform a great Suadehead. The Mighty Lemondrops remind me of a crush I had on this girl that went to Millard South High School in Omaha (However, it's funny I can't remember her name). Anyone spinnin' Joy Division? You really can't beat R.E.M.'s first 3 releases - Chronic Town, Murmur, and Reckoning. Steve Albini's work on "Surfer Rosa" by the Pixies is good stuff. I can't get enough Sisters of Mercy. Tell me about the vocals on "Flood II". The production for that track is phenominal. The Feelies "Only Life" is a favorite, too. Seventeen Seconds by the Cure is SOOOO underrated. How about early INXS (Shabooh Shoobah, The Swing)? I've got 2 Housemartins LPs. Peter Murphy? I could go on.
Let me guess...You all stayed up late on Sunday nights watching 120 Minutes on MTV back in the day?
