Since I grew up in the 80's/90's, I have a lot more stuff still on good old tape (probably too much to list here)...

[Appelmoes??]

Das ist a lot of gut music!

Hey Appy, is German one of your burpday presents? 

Nicky.

Well... it sure is 'a lot'!

?

I don't know that one.
And of course there's a lot that I don't know from your list.

[Nicky007]

Great, Bluey, and thanks, I'v been missin that for a while  

So next step:  Never heard of Little Angels, Thunder, and Pink Cream 69. What are they like, and why do you like'm ?


So you do have two DT-albums that are among your faves !

How come you have so many Bon Jovi's ? - an early crush of yours is my guess.

Interesting to see that PL are among your absfaves. Ms007 was deeply into them some 10-15 years ago (also Tiamat). I just got Believe In Nothing - great album ! What's your fave PL-album ?

And what's your fave Arena-album ?

Nicky.

[bluepony]

?

I don't know that one.

D'Oh!!! Er... yes... that must read 'Subsurface' - got that mixed up with the tape of the same album I've also got (which was given to me by a friend who had labelled the tape 'Reflect' - probably beause that's what is written on the TV screen on the album cover...)... mega-embarassed now... 
Yes, yes, I know I should be blond!! 

And of course there's a lot that I don't know from your list.

-Paco

Well, I don't think many people will know a lot of what is on my list... it's just ALL the music I (used to) listen to over the years, so that's the reason why you will find a lot of Bon Jovi on there, although they're no longer ranked under "favourite bands" any more since I find their last albums a bit... well, disappointing, to say the least.

[bluepony]

Never heard of Little Angels, Thunder, and Pink Cream 69. What are they like, and why do you like'm ?

Little Angels and Thunder are British bands, formed back in the 90's. Both play(ed) a kind of bluesy (Thunder more, Little Angels maybe a little less) good-time "rock'n'roll". Pink Cream 69 is a German band of about the same age (as in 'era', not 'old', although that's probably also correct ) who started as a 'typical 90's hard rock' band, but they've become pretty much 'heavy metal' over the years (IMO they're a lot heavier nowadays).

All three are bands from my 'early days' of listening to music (my personal 'starter drug' to rock music); the Little Angels and Thunder sadly are no more (Toby And The Whole Truth and Bowes & Morley being the latest 'signs of life' of members of the respective band), however, PC69 are still alive and kickin'. 

So you do have two DT-albums that are among your faves !

Well... guilty, your honour! 

How come you have so many Bon Jovi's ? - an early crush of yours is my guess.

"Bad Medicine" by Bon Jovi was the first ever rock video I saw - so that's how it all started... I liked the song, wanted to hear more, bought the CD - you know the rest. However, I mainly bought their last few albums because they were the first band I really liked, but I think they've become a bit too 'soft' with the years.

Crush? Well... at least not what you think!! 

Interesting to see that PL are among your absfaves. Ms007 was deeply into them some 10-15 years ago. I just got Believe In Nothing - great album ! What's your fave PL-album ?

Draconian Times - definitely! (although the others aren't really bad)  I saw them performing "The Last Time" live at MTV's Most Wanted show and I knew that I just HAD TO get this album.

And what's your fave Arena-album ?

Mmmmm... always the last one I guess! 

[Nicky007]

Well... guilty, your honour! 

That sorta guilt I'll gladly join in on. Awake is one heck of'n album 

- you know the rest ....

Betcha - not silence iac

[maddox]

Hmm, quite impressive. 

Those bluesy rock bands are no surprise to me. Great that you like Pink Cream 69 as well. I personally like the Andi Deris (as you might know, current Helloween singer) period.
Paradise Lost is also  . Well, Draconian Times that is. 

But are you serious about Mötley Crüe and Poison?

Bluey, you should complete your Def Lep collection with X. Maybe it's a little soft for your taste but it really has killer songs on it like Torn to shreds or Long long way to go.

And for Nicky, since you like Ten, X is like Ten force ten

Nicky.

From what I heard from Ten on your advice (remember you made me buy the Essential Collection  , not at all, really. The two songs I mentioned are above all the essential Ten songs in my book. But so far I only listened once to EC so it's way too short to make a definitive appreciation ... I have a few months of night painting at home in front of me (which also means time for night music) so I will let you know.

[Nicky007]

remember you made me buy the Essential Collection 

I have my methods, Bupsie    That's why I'm 007 

The two songs I mentioned are above all the essential Ten songs in my book.

What exactly do you mean by this?

I have a few months of night painting at home in front of me (which also means time for night music) so I will let you know.

Are you making a second Sistine Chapel at home? 

Nicky.

[Bupie]

I have my methods, Bupsie    That's why I'm 007 

Indeed 

What exactly do you mean by this?

To be really honest, I find Torn to Shreds much better than the rockers of EC's CD1 and Long long way to go much better than the ballads of EC's CD2. In fact, after listening to EC's CD1 (the rockers), I found it so mellow that I thought I had made a mistake and put CD2 instead. And CD2 got me asleep after two songs. BUT don't get offended because :
1. Def Leppard is an old time favorite of mine
2. Maybe after a few more listens, I will become an hardcore Ten fan (don't bet too much money on it, though). Second listen starts tonight, promised 

Are you making a second Sistine Chapel at home? 

Almost. In fact, I am trying to renovate the house that was built in late 19th century but I only do the finishing myself because I am not really what you would call an handyman  Tonight is scheduled the painting of the guests room -which will take at least two entire EC listens- in order to receive you (or Bluey, of course  ). And bring me some Danish beer, please 

[Nicky007]

- in order to receive you (or Bluey, of course  ).

If you have Bluey staying there, you'll have to paint it again after she's left 

> And bring me some Danish beer, please 

Gladly. But as far as I can surmise, you live a bit further away than down the road from Paris (where my bro lives).

Nicky.

[Bupie]

Gladly. But as far as I can surmise, you live a bit further away than down the road from Paris (where my bro lives).

Just 2h10 from Paris by the TGV

Mein deutsch ist nicht möbel-knodel Es ist scheisse

Nachti-schlumpfe!

(Yes, I've been in germany in my vacation, and we've added a few new words to the language )

Er... now you've just got to explain to me what you're trying to say by that... 

[bluepony]

Those bluesy rock bands are no surprise to me.

No? Why?? Because of my nick? But that's BLUEpony... 

Great that you like Pink Cream 69 as well. I personally like the Andi Deris (as you might know, current Helloween singer) period.

I LOVE PC69, especially since they're pretty much from the same region in Germany where I'm from (so they get the so-called "Badenser-Bonus" ). I've followed them from their early days and it was a great shock to me when Andi Deris and PC69 split up because I personally think he's the better singer (greater vocal range) - but on the other hand, PC69 have become a lot heavier since David Readman joined them, so that's OK by me too. 

But are you serious about Mötley Crüe and Poison? 

Hmm.... well, yes... the sins of my youth...
