Damn! Short of Twister Sister (which i just don't get, and had loads of spandex) you are giving me nothing here.
Come on, you never dabbled with Mili Vinilli, tried Britney or spent a secret evening with Abba? Give me something...

And makeup... see the worst albums thread... there's 4 pieces of ammo there for you.

Bren R.

I worked in a Disco in Banff the year that album came out. There was some real bad music there for a few years, but the Bee Bees put out a lot of good music.

Everyone likes to make fun of Disco, but I hear the thump thump boompa boompa rythms of disco in a surprising number of recent stuff.

I also remember the night a really hot woman with 6" heals put one of them through the dance floor doing some 'cool disco moves'. Life was good.

A few of my favorites that I've purchased in many forms over the years include,
Santana - Santana
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River & Cosmos Factory
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Deja Vu
The Doors - Greatest Hits
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Wildflowers
Supertramp - Breakfast in America
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Who - Who's Next

Anthony Phillips (ex Genesis) - The Geese & The Ghost
Bellowhead (English folk big band!) - Burlesque
Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
Deep Purple - Machine Head

Stephane Grapelli & Yehudi Menhuen - Tea for Two
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
John Sangster - Landscapes of Middle Earth

Steely Dan - Everything Must Go (et. al)
Vivaldi - Gloria
There must be others but I've forgotten

Nice list shane. I havn't listened to any Mike Oldfield in a long long time. I check when I'm in the usd cd store, but I don't expect anything to turn up. I don't know if any of his stuff is still in release.

Hey, check out his website. It makes cool noises when you roll over links.

I should add Cat Stevens, Tea for the Tillerman to my list.

Damn! I want Hergest Ridge again, but not as an MP3.

Most people think of Tubullar Bells re Mike Oldfield, but I have to say that I preferred Ommadawn a little more. Both were excellent albums though, Mike was one of those musical geniuses. Hey, but now we've got Fat Boy What's-his-name, it's all good!!!

I never listened to Ommadawn, Just Tubular Bells and Hergest Ridge. I see he released another disk late last year. Apparently its popular in classical circles in the UK.

The guy could (and did) play almost 40 different instruments! I always found that amazing.
