fuck YES does this album rule

― Stormy Davis, Sunday, 26 July 2009 08:41 (3 years ago) Permalink

could never decide but probably go with title track due to similarity with Kool and the Gnag guitar licks

I think i read once that Byron Coley said this was one of his all-time fave albums ? mebbe I dreamed it, but i feel kinda confident about that

follow-on, though: Mystery to Me is still better ...

poor Danny Kirwan, he was such a talent. wherever he is in the world right now, i hope he is at least at comfort

the cover is one of my favourite record covers ever.... never heard the actual record... too scared to in case it sucks..

― Jack Battery-Pack, Sunday, 26 July 2009 09:08 (3 years ago) Permalink

it's very far from sucking.

I was considering the ghost, sentimental lady, sunny side of heaven or spare me a little, but ended up also going Dust

yeah this is a record so dope that a song as strong as 'child of mine' probably won't be able to compete with several others.

I bought this record a year ago, but really didn't listen to it, so thanks to this thread listening to it now - it's great. I'll vote later. On a slightly related topic, has anyone heard this? I've tried to get it from iTunes and other places a few times but failed:

This is a single from just before it, which is well cool, with added Jimmy Saville:

As for the album, Wikipedia basically says it's loads of boring jams. Allmusic gives it one star and everyone on Amazon slags it off, but check out that track and the sleeve, I mean it's bound to be great.

i might vote 'child of mine' but this album is an awesome entity

Haven't heard it either - I always found it a bit strange that it seemed to have so little to do with the famous Fleetwood Macs on either side. Went with 'Danny's Chant' for the title. I imagine it as a proto 'We Will Rock You', or maybe early Spandau Ballet.

guess again

Got to be an outtake from 'Born In The USA' then.

yuh the guitar in Child of Mine is amazinggg

as is the sleeve Keith posted

― wilter, Sunday, 26 July 2009 22:48 (3 years ago) Permalink

goin for "sunny side of heaven".. that "end of the game" album is pretty awful, as i recall, but that could just be because the mac stuff before is so so so much better.

we should do a future games poll

― winston, Sunday, 26 July 2009 23:38 (3 years ago) Permalink

This was my favorite album of theirs for years, until Mystery To Me gave me 2nd thoughts.

I do love the start of Danny's Chant, but have to go for Dust.

Played "Sentimental Lady" the last time I djed at the Hangover Lounge & it went down very well.

Luv that album cover!

Voted for title cut (which, for all I know, may have found its way into MX-80 Sound's "You're Not Alone")

"Sunny Side of Heaven" is so beautiful. First song I was ever obsessed enough to learn to play note-for-note on the guitar.

voted title track

On a slightly related topic, has anyone heard this?

end of the game is awesome. very spaced-out guitar jammage.

― pretzel walrus, Sunday, 2 August 2009 21:43 (3 years ago) Permalink

that "end of the game" album is pretty awful

False. It's fiery, psychedelic, and exciting. And it can be found used for reasonable prices.

"Sunny Side Of Heaven" earns my vote, btw.

― inhibitionist, Monday, 3 August 2009 03:02 (3 years ago) Permalink

yuh i'm going to try to pick that one up now btw.

you can still vote in ilx polls once a day y/n?
