One track did it for me. Up until then I'd been listening to The Beatles, Status Quo, whatever was in the Top 40. But then on a dark November night in 1983 I saw this: iMLja33uv-8 and I haven't been the same since.

The Smiths Pixies The Fall The Buzzcocks Radiohead

Did you get my confirmation Pav?

I might read a range of reviews about an album but to be honest they are becoming superfluous because it's never been easier to listen to an album (legal and illegal) before purchase. Everone's a critic nowadays.

I liked Birth in Reverse at first but I have grown really weary of it so quickly. Hope the album is better than that.

We have the new Nuggets contest that is genre driven that will be coming to this forum soon anyway.

When is the closing date for voting now or have I missed it?

Blush is a lovely track. As is She. I like the way they genre-hop as it all sounds good.

I love the fact that AC/DC finally have a top ten hit. So overdue! As for a Xmas song I say we give The Ramones a new peak by getting Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight) into the top 10 next year.

Sorry - too late as I've opened the voting thread.

Oh cobblers completely missed this. :( Still will try to give it a listen and vote.
