I'd obviously wrongly assumed you were strictly a metal man....
And Madness. I love early Madness. Adam and the Ants too.
Alan Parsons Project - you hear a lot of familiar things with this ever-changing band but they sort of meld them all into something nice. The classic stuff with Ian Bairnson on guitar (formerly of Pilot and responsible for the guitar solo on Wuthering Heights) is just fantastic and what an unsung hero he is. Melodic and memorable solos.
Early Bowie & Elton John. Just brilliant stuff
David Bowie took me a long time, for some reason, given so many friends were rabid fans.
Kate Bush too...what I remember from my youth is Kate being pilloried by various comedians, and we all thought she was nuts. Then I discovered she was close to genius.
Had heard of them but knew nothing about them and wasn't remotely interested until a mate actually played them to me - the first song I heard was "Ladylike" - and I was just blown away. The songs are great, Ian Thornley's voice is killer and his guitar work is even more so.
The recent albums in particular have stunning bass and drum work too. And the arrangements are really nicely crafted - little details like the use of multi-tracked 12-strings, or mandolin/banjo parts. Really makes a difference - and pleases my inner gear nerd greatly.
Was massively into Guns n Roses at the time and dismissed SR as just another hair metal band.Randomly heard a couple of songs two or three years ago which prompted me to give a greatest hits album a go.Not sure about Subhuman Race but the first two albums,especially Slave To The Grind,are bloody brilliant.Some fantastic riffs on the second album.
This year I got Out of Time, Automatic and Monster and listened to them for the first time in one go. This is seriously good music, brilliant songwriting and harmonies. Peter Buck's oh so tasteful guitar (if a little ott on the tremolo on monster!). Of the three Automatic is the masterpiece. I find myself playing Drive everytime I pick up my Taylor.
Will be working my way through their other albums soon.
