Talking Heads - 'Stop Making Sense'  - why have I not listened to this in years ?   :rolleyes:

Thanks to you I'm now 13 albums into flac converting and re-doing the MP3 on my older albums.  :(

Priority now to do King Crimson, Rush, Hawkwind, Deep Purple, Yes and Jethro Tull, buying cd to fill in the missing places/old vinyl. Only another 440 odd albums to do.
Long, complex, boring and expensive come to mind.   :D

ELO - ' Ma-Ma-Ma Belle'

edit:
Robert - Hype - 'Over My Head'.

Quote
She was talking about the world situation
She was sitting on a coffee-bar stool
I heard her say something clever 'bout inflation
And the Ayatollah's rule

It was over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,

Her eyes were plastered with a lot of mascara
And her hair was cut by Vidal
I was wondering how I was going to score her
A real live intellectual

And then she started talking bout a new production
Of Dostoyevsky in drag
The way her mouth moved was pure seduction
When she said she'd written it up in a mag

It was over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,

Everybody's talking 'bout a new way of thinking
Getting plugged into silicon chips
All I could think about was lateral linking
And I just watched her Mary Quant lips

Talking over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,

She asked me was I ever into Fellini
And what did I think of Godard
I tried to imagine her in a bikini
And didn't find it was hard

She said have you seen that Fritz Lang movie
Where the hero loses his soul?
I said I didn't think that sounded too groovy
I'm more into rock and roll

She was over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,
Over my head,
Over my head,

:bowler:

For some reason I never got into Hawkwind. Any recommendations to start?

It's tricky because there are more than a few different periods each with their own character.  Above all they were a live experience, so gigs inform the albums as you listen to them. 

Saving that there's an excellent 3 cd compilation called Epoch Eclipse that covers all periods, though probably not the last 10-15 years. Which is a blessing as I'm not aware they've done anything interesting since the mid 90s, even earlier.

http://www.amazon.ca/Epoch-Eclipse-30-Year-Anthology-Hawkwind/dp/B00008OP0V/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1413852136&sr=8-9&keywords=hawkwind

One off albums worth thinking about are Space Ritual for the authentic 1973 when they were at the height of their drug fuelled powers.

'Hall of the Mountain Grill' is a good cheap one to get that came out just after Space Ritual and is rated by the fans.

If you want something different get one of the Robert Calvert heavily influenced albums like '25 years On' (by the Hawklord(still them)) or 'Quark. Strangeness and Charm' these are both almost intelligent Pop-Rock.
