Not sure why some people are saying only the fist 4 songs...this is song 7 and it's fukcing ace.

Nope. It's musically heavy...I.e..throw everything in a see what sticks.

Peter Gabriel strips it down in his cover. Personally I think both versions are fantastic.

A bit under rated, but he can play. Went into pop mid 70's but later went back to Blues and stuff.

Remain In Light - 4/10 - Didn't like it. It's not my kind of thing, don't like the sound of the vocals, sounds too "new wave" to me. Lots of "clever" noises that don't do anything for the music and the sound of the instruments isn't interesting enough for me.

Now Steve Miller, "Fly Like an Eagle", that's a superb piece of music, but I don't understand what it's doing in here, have I missed something?

Here we go! each week a randomly selected album from 'Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums' will be reviewed and scored.

All Time Top 1000 Albums - Wikipedia

Ideally if i can get 10 or more posters to give their score out of 10 by next weeks review then i will give it a Bluemoon average rating aswell and compile a league table format.

227. Talking Heads – Remain in Light

BH 7.0/10

Just put this on as never really knowingly listened to them - absolutely no idea what I was supposed to be enjoying, kind of sounded like '80's Reggae-funk (is that even a mix that has been done before?).

Ended up skipping through the album to save my ears - not for me at all.

How the hell has this made its way into a top albums list?

2/10 and I'm being generous

Edit: Apologies @BlueHammer85 , whilst I responded to you, my rant wasn't aimed at you. You are doing sterling work as usual and created another interesting thread.......... ;-)

"absolutely no idea what I was supposed to be enjoying"

This is a very good summary of the way I felt about it. Although I did stick it out and listen to the whole thing

It got ranked 227 in an all time greatest list!!!!!

I need to start writing and recording as seemingly the bar isn't set very high.

I must be able to land something in the top 500.............

Cheers lads for giving it a go and scoring, it's good to have a variety - this will help the overall score at end of week.
