The album Laid by James is very good. It was in my top ten faves the year it was released. From start to finish not one bad track. I have various The Smiths on Vinyl but haven't listened to them lately. Liked the one Meat is Murder and the one with girlfrind in a coma. The latest Morrisey's Live is a great recording sound wise and the song selection is good to.
The Smiths. The Stone Roses. James.
Do many Agoners listen to any of the above? I am actually rether surprised to see that not one of them has really ever been mentioned. But, then again, I've not checked the archives. These three really are some of my favorite, great music, great lyrics (although carefull with some of The Smiths lyrics- they are often depressing-humouress-sarcastic-dark yet so darn real all at once.)
A great introduction to all three is as follows:
The Smiths- "The Smiths,...Best I" "The Smiths,...Best II"
James- "James, Seven" "James, Laid"
The Stone Roses- "The Stone Roses, The complete Stone Roses"
Yes, the recommended c.d.'s from The Smiths and The Stone Roses are 'best of,' but they really are excellent.
If you are a fan of Radiohead then you probably already know what I am talking about.
