Albums You're Digging II

George Harrison - All Things Must Pass

^ Such a great album to just blare out when it's all getting on top of you this. Alright, it's a bit overly preachy in places, but this is the bright side of Phil Spector's wall of sound technique encapsulated in LP form, so you can overlook such things.

The Beatles - Abbey Road

^ Got through my first end-to-end listen of this thing in a long, long time. Such a wonderful album.

The Pogues - Peace and Love

^ This here's an album which manages to combine happiness, anger and sadness so well. In the bright spots at least. I mean, the second side's a bit weak but, again, there are other factors that make up for that.

In my opinion, I think the newer NOFX is a lot more listenable. Parts of Punk in Drublic annoy the **** out of me, if only because Fat Mike's vocals were really whiny. I think after So Long and Thanks For All The Shoes, they started to get a lot better. I would recommend the newer stuff, So Long... is probably my favorite album from those guys.

Hmm. Might do that. I never noticed the font thing either.

I don't care how many times I have heard this album it still kicks groovy arse.

For some reason I keep coming back to this over and over. Catchy but also pretty good IMO. Probably one of my most played albums... surprisingly.

Excellent album that. Some brilliant grooves and rhythms and that one.

Turin Brakes - JackInaBox

I almost forgot how undeniably immense this album was. Brilliant, laid-back acoustic rock with a little bit of country thrown in to spice things up. The limited edition bonus DVD's great stuff too - might just have to watch it again in a bit.
