Fairbairn Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 41 quid for the Academy . I wouldn't pay that to see a Hookless NO - that and Brandon Flowers involvement in the new album are enough to put me off. I generally agree with you post Low Life, but Technique is a favourite of mine - there's a great run of three tracks on it (start of side 2 - I bought it on LP - ah, those were the days...). I seen NO in the Academy a few years back. Up there with the most disappointing gigs I've been to. Basically it was Hooky and Barney playing over a backing tape. I know a lot of electronic music is pre programmed but there were bits where you could hear the lead guitar and Barney wasn't even on the stage!

It's £22 for Hooky but they're doing a Joy Division set followed by them playing Low Life and Brotherhood. I'd take this or this anyday.

Ormond Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 What were you referring to as the one classic then? The Queen is Dead? It's certainly the best name for an album ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their gig at the Barras in 2000/01 was probably in my Top 3. They were outstanding and even done an encore which is unlike them. Technique has some superb tracks on it and is definitely the best of their later work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnpauls Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Totally predicable, I kno, but the Beatles absolutely have to be contenders. I'm also amazed no-one has mentioned the Who.

fringo Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Rolling Stones been mentioned yet ? No.2 after AC/DC for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Rolling Stones been mentioned yet ? No.2 after AC/DC for me. Aye. They wouldn't make my top five favourite groups, but for their longevity, influence, musical ability throughout the band (in their 60s / early 70s heyday) and run of albums from Beggars to Exile (although Between the Buttons is a personal favourite) I'd award it to them.

RenfrewBlue Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Never been a fan of The Beatles. I don't dislike them just find them a bit dull. Prefer The Stones, The Who, Queen and still have a soft spot for Madness from my youth. Found my musical tastes growing as I've got older too and have recently been getting in to Bob Marley. Might just be the sunshine..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
