Good calls otta.


Weirdly I thought we weren't going to get anything from the last ten years, as the music industry has changed so much, it's all about an immediate impact these days, whether you're signed and if your first album fails you're cast into the wilderness or whether you're a 'youtube sensation' who's follow ups invariably disappoint (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, I'm looking at you!!!)

Bound to be a matter of tate this one but I'd go for...


The Manic's - 'Holy Bible', 3rd album and not as commercially successful as 'Everything Must Go' but I think they'd shot their bolt by then.


A 3rd album for fans of radio smooth...


Melody Gardot - 'My One And Only Thrill' (Live from SoHo being an EP)...


Another one down to taste but...


Talking Heads - 'Fear Of Music', the one that turned my head in their direction.

I can go with MSP as it was Holy Bible that got them the wider acclaim, though I'm sure fans will freak at the thought that the first two are no good. as for EMG I don't care what happened late, I'm looking for slow starters.


I can have TH as your personal point of view, but seeing as their first two albums are classics I can't let them in ;)


I was considering Led Zep on the rather weak effort that it was on III that they really found that distinctly Led Zep sound rather than being a fantastic blues rock band with a distinctive sound, if you see what I mean, but considering the first two are total classics with many of the all time best loved songs on them, I can't allow that either.


It's actually really hard isn't it.

Yello - You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess ... (The album with 'I Love You' and though the 3rd album it's still way before everything they did was used by BBC sports broadcasters and/or US film soundtracks of the 80s)


They Might Be Giants - Flood.


And for bonus points what about-


T.Rex - T. Rex ... Debut album of band's abbreviated name but fifth album overall.

Coool Maxxi.


I've a fifth album up my sleeve too.

The Shamen produced god-awful post goth indie-rock psychedelia fare until dropping some pills and producing the then classic En-Tact, before resuming on the turgid [now dancey] rubbish path.


It hasn't aged well though.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.

      Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
