I met Michael Barrymore once and he called me weird. I guess I don’t really have much hope.

Also, Here My Dear – the best Marvin album! Seriously! Try it again, it’s 100% pure. (I assume you’ve heard your namesakes Blood On The Tracks – it’s the soul music equivilant. And just as great, possibly better. Not a sexing or anti-war big name record though so people overlook it.)

Yeah, re-ac-tor is shit. That and ASNB are why it was “hell, even” instead of OMG THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME RUN EVER. (Also, I like some 2tone, but yeah, Ska mostly turns me off).

It’s cool man, I just find it trite on British ears. I understand the ‘we are the white american white working class and bruce is our leader’ thing, it’s just my worship comes from lol morrissey and stuart murdoch types for that kind of thing. tea drinking, indie disco music instead of fist pumping, budweiser shizz.

Also, greatest 10 year run: either Gang Starr (No More Mr. Nice Guy, Step In The Arena, Daily Operation, Hard To Earn, Moment Of Truth, The Ownerz- 14 years!), Ghostface (Ironman, Supreme Clientele, the original Bulletproof Wallets before they couldn’t clear any of the samples, Pretty Toney, Fishscale), Beasties or Pavement. Or Parliament. Or Stevie in the sixties.

I’m guessing you haven’t heard Blinded by the Light, No Surrender, Growin’ Up, Thunder Road, Atlantic City, Badlands (etc etc) or you have no soul. Or you’re pretty young and you haven’t really got balls to be grabbed hold of yet. Bloody kids.

I jest mate; if you’re on here you probably have good taste in music. I understand he’s not for everyone. Main criticism would be that he can come off as hammy, but then I see it from the point of view that he’s got boundless exuberance that few others have. Each to their own and all that anyway. You could always try Nebraska if you abhor the sax. Guessing you’re not a ska fan.

Marvin Gaye had definitely put out his two greatest albums before then (What’s going on/let’s get it on). And Neil doesn’t quite do it for me in the same way (and Re-ac-tor? Seriously?). I do like to nap in his guitar solos though. Anyway, you can pick great runs (Led Zeppelin’s first however many) but how many are impeccable for 10 years?

Samuel, I think you’re kinda talking down Neil with the “hell, even” bit, even though I can’t think of his music chronologically right now, or what he produced between 75-84… but C’MON! Uncle Neil 4eva! <3 <3 <3 xo

Fuck both of you, my opinion is better than both of yours and I don’t even know what it is yet…

Yeah, but Illmatic and the Blueprint sound fucking awesome and have great lyrics. Bruce is just lame coffee table bullshit. Nothing about it grabs you by the testicles and shouts ‘this is potentially the greatest fucking thing ever’. And a great song has to do that in the 3 minutes or whatever it takes to do.

Or maybe its just because rock + saxaphone usually = bullshit.

Also, 75-84? What about Marvin Gaye? (I Want You- Here, My Dear- In Our Lifetime- Midnight Love) or hell, even Neil Young (Tonight’s The Night- Zuma- American Stars n’ Bars- Comes a Time- Live Rust- Hawks & Doves- Re-ac-tor- Trans)?
