Old musical favourites
I just picked up a cd for 50p from a charity shop.

Pocketful of Kryptonite by the Spin Doctors.

I'm pleased with myself.

Have you got an old favourite album you come back to regularly?

A few
Naked - Kissing the Pink
This is the day, this is the hour, this is this - Pop Will Eat Itself
Eight Legged Groove Machine - Wonderstuff

WOTW especially is like slipping into an old, comfortable pair of Berts.

I haven't heard Spin Doctors in years
My old favorite is always anything by Depeche Mode or Duran Duran. You can't go wrong with those 2 groups.

My 7 yr old prefers Metallica (this was one of the few bits of music that would soothe her to sleep when she was a baby).

My 6 yr old is really into Disturbed right now.

I may be raising heathens. *sigh*

Loads of Pink Floyd.
Also Pearl Jam and Nirvana, Joan Osborne and Tori Amos, early Jethro Tull, later Beatles... I could basically list the contents of my iPod. Most of it is stuff that's over five years old, some as much as fifty years old.

That said, I do have some more current stuff, but it's somewhat oddball material like the Cogburns and the Diabolo Swing Orchestra.

Just Berts
I like to imagine that there's two of you as Richard Burton's voice wafts over me. It makes me feel safe.

And hard

Agree with Flirty on the Mode as well. Good call, girl. Favouritest. Band. Ever.

How weird
We were just talking this morning about records being over played on the radio to the point where you stop liking it and I cited "Two Princes".
Everybody above a certain age went "God yes".

You're not wrong al
however, I do quite like the red weed tune. And I'd love to go see the stage show.

I'm thinking about
going with my bro later this year, but haven't been able to afford to book the tickets up until now.

Got my Dad a ticket to go and see it a couple of years ago and he reckoned it was brilliant.

WOTW
Fucking brilliant. My primary school teacher was really into it and we devoted a whole month of term time to listening to the album and drawing pictures of Martians.

Mr Bristow you were ace!

There's something
in the zeitgeist... I was looking up War Of The Worlds on deezer the day before yesterday, having not heard the album for years (lent it to someone and never got it back). I was looking for a song which I thought was Forever Autumn, but turned out not to be. It was bugging me so much I nearly posted here to ask you all for help, until I realised you guys would need a bit more to go on than "what song is that, sounds a bit like Forever Autumn but isn't, and is sung by someone whose name escapes me but might be John something, who was in a band but the song wasn't done by him with the band...?"

Pocket Full of Kryptonite is an awesome album. I only have it on tape though, for some reason, but always enjoy it heartily when I listen to it.

I have also recently gone back to my favourite Supertramp album - Crisis? What Crisis? - which my dad used to listen to when I was little. I haven't heard it for maybe 20 years, treated myself and bought it off amazon... when I started to play it I got goosebumps, and then I proceeded to sing the entire album even though I hadn't heard the words in all that time.

I go back to The Pixies too, they got me through my teens... they make me feel weird when I listen to them but I like it... I have kind of weird acidy associations with them. And speaking of acid, I have been having a Prodigy revival lately.

Oh! And the Fella got me the Grange Hill album last week... wow. Three discs of pure nostalgia. We were in the car when we started listening to it, and arrived at home half way through the first CD. We didn't move until we'd listened to every song on all three CDs, and Son of Fella (who's 12) despaired of us and unloaded all the shopping by himself and went in the house.

Utah Saints - Utah Saints
The Prodigy - Experience (only recently got 'Experience Expanded')
The Shamen - The Shamen Collection

These are the only old-favourite albums I can think of at the mo' where I listen to the whole album rather than individual tracks.
