Pere Ubu appreciation thread...

[Samthesham]

Greetings to all...this is a thread to show your appreciation for the wonderful & highly under appreciated ever changing Pere Ubu, this will be a on going thread so let’s start off simple...

Select your top 5 Ubu and/or David Thomas albums & then enlighten us to what draws you to the records...

As thread starter obviously I am at bat 1st, my 5 selections are in no certain order...

1.The Hearpen Singles ...these are the 45 RPMs that started the ball rolling for the most prolific & best of all the Post Punk bands

2.Dub Housing (1978)...just like cover art depicts so perfectly this is a dark claustrophobic masterpiece

3.Live at The Longhorn -1978...a searing live document of the early Ubu’s at their late 70s pinnacle

4.Twenty Years In A Montana Missile Silo (2016) ... a welcome return to Pere Ubu’s harder rock, sits nicely on the shelf next to previous 3 records already posted above

5.David Thomas & two pale boys / Meadville(1997)...recorded in the mid 80s & released exclusively on David Thomas / Monster box set, full of humor & magnificent strange Pop-Art
