The logic of chance, by Dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip...hip hop with brains, after all how many songs include quotes from a government report on knife crime

If you're impressed by that I reckon you should try digging a bit deeper.

[Melman Giraffe]

Pixies - Doolittle

[Melman Giraffe]

The Cure - Standing on a Beach

The Cure - Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me

[MocMocaMoc]

Secret Machines - Here Now is Nowhere.

Blinding first album. Not as 'epic' as say, a prog rock or metal band might put out, but sounds huge thanks to the drummers giant 26 kick drum and groove.

Led Zeppelin (1)

Again giant drums do it for me ; ) Bonham is untouchable on Dazed and Confused, and How Many More Times.

Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds

Everyone should, at least once a year, stick this on their system and sink a massive amount of their drink (or other) of choice.

A Love Supreme

Jazz everyone can enjoy!!! Elvin Jones is a beast!!!

(can you tell I'm a drummer? ; )

Indeed. I think he did three albums with them. Left after Down to earth.

I bought tickets on line to see The Cure, but they sent me Placebo instead. Guess they thought I wouldn't notice.
