the debut
Songs Of Leonard Cohen

^^ got it now^^

[CRAZY-HORSE]

twenty track cd containing all their singles/b-sides up until vocalist Paul Jones left in late 1966...

mighty fine album by a mighty fine band IMO...
not much wrong on here, didnt sit down and listen to this one,did so whilst doing chores around the house
well worth getting by any lover of mid 1960s British music lovers!

either love or like all the tracks from another band that seemed to be in the Stones/Beatles shadows but equally as good!

from the album:

if you gotta go(go now)....written by Bob Dylan

I've seen Paul Jones live a couple of times, leading The Blues Band. Very good live band.

He also does a weekly Blues radio program on BBC R2.

[CRAZY-HORSE]

yes, i believe he is still going strong...thanks for conformation Tiggi.
always loved Paul Jones era better than the Mike D'Abo Manfred Mann of 67 onwards

SLADE "feel the noize-the greatest hits" cd,1997.

one from my christmas purchases yesterday....sorry had to put it to the front of the pile as i havent heard Slade for a while!
anyway, Slade were England's premier rock act from 71-76, scoring some twnety top 20 hits, most of which hit the top 10, including six UK #1 hits.
apart from the sing-a-long choruses and Noddy Holder's vocals Slade were also known for the way they spelled their words on their songs, prefering to spell them as they are sounded out than conventional correct grammar/spelling.
Slade were also the first act on the British singles charts to score three #1 hits that debuted on the charts at #1...took until 1982 for that feat to be equalled...that time by The Jam, obviously numerous bands have done it since,most noteably Spice Girls who debuted at #1 on no less than six occasions...
anyway, come 1977ish, the big hits dried up for Slade with the emergance of disco, then punk, but back in 1982 they made a chart comeback with the anthemic ballad "my oh my" which reached #2 and in early 1983 with the dancable "run runaway" which also hit the UK top 10, the hits appear to have finally dried up once again for Slade but they still tour throughout Europe on a regular basis and their perenial christmas hit from 1973(merry christmas everybody) still enters the UK charts every year in december, so technically, Slade have rarely had a year out of the UK charts since 1971.
worst track here for me is their 1971 debut "get down and get with it", originally recorded by Little Richard, best track is a real toss up as they had so many great rock n roll songs, but having to pick one i have to go with one that encompasses their overall sound in "cum on feel the noize" which incidently was a huge hit as a cover version by Quiet Riot back in the late 1980s(?)

AREOSMITH "pump" cd.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Dani actually picked this one out with Corey yesterday also,
heard it in the car from his shop to the shopping centre,then on way back home....so couldnt score the tracks for this one,but...

this is the first time i have heard an Aerosmith studio album and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tunes and melodies contained within...
some real great songs on here, some real good ones also....but surprisingly no dud tracks at all!

gueesing it might be watching their video's that put me off these guys back in the day as that lead vocalist is one ugly SOB!...probably more ugly to watch than Mick Jagger....certainly has a bigger mouth and bigger lips than Jagger....
either way a mighty fine album of good solid rock n roll IMO

METALLICA "metallica" cd

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

another of Dani's picks at Coreys yesterday...again, listened to whilst doing other things so i am not committing to a score here....
again, i was pleasantly surprised by most of the tracks here being reasonably good IMO.
my pick of the tracks would still have to be the major singles from it in "enter sandman" and the other, the classic rock ballad "nothing else matters"...
pretty sure this would come out pretty high in the rating system we use here, but i doubt it would score a 4.5/5 (2.7) that allmusic give it!
overall, not a bad album, but prefer the Aerosmith one Dani picked out to purchase!
