Seems that they're on in Las Vegas when we're there in April
|
Wonder how much tickets are in Vegas?
Maroon 5 were putting on an outdoor show at South Lake Tahoe on my bday last July. Despite being only an hours drive, the $200 remaining tickets put me off. That pays for an awful lot of triple sec/tequila/sweet n sour mix (aka Margeritas) at the local Raleys.

They're doing a Brum gig too. The Lad was slightly upset that it came up after he'd spent his available cash booking to see The Who.

40 best selling albums
www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-official-top-40-biggest-selling-albums-of-all-time-1329/
Of those I have 22. Lot of albums missing from that list that I would have thought would be there - Tapestry by Carole King for example.
|
I wouldn't mind seeing Fleetwood Mac, but I am really really not a fan of big venues. Incidentaly my favourite album of theirs is Tango in the Night but I think it is because I was a little kid at the time that album came out.
Rumours as much as it is a great album was released five years before I was born.

Crikey! that lists scares me, I like to think my record collection is not that commercial. Own 180 CDs and 220 LPs according to my database.
I own 19 albums out of that top 40!! I am god smacked that Keane is in there, I own that album but its nothing special, certainly not heard it in the clubs for a few years. But still I am a Rammstein fan and that will never make the top 40 in a single week, yet alone of all time so I rest happy with that :)

Nothing from The Cosmic Dead then (eh, where's that joint) www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CktwQNpwNU

I've got the 'classic albums' BBC show somewhere, where they went into the recording of Rumours. Superb television.
|
Out of the top 40 I have 4 which is pleasing given my music collection is quite large.
That Albums programme on tv was enjoyable last night.

Rattle, try Rumours with a set of fresh ears with the nowledg about the relationships in the band. Brilliant songs, musicianship and production. It's before my time too, but is a superb piece of work that stands teh test of time, although t's not alone in that respect.

It is a brilliant album not disputing that :)

Rumours is a window onto the turmoil going on between the band members, hatred, affairs, passion, excess partying - drink and drugs. For years, it was always thought of as a collection of catchy songs, it is in fact superbly musically crafted and now gets the serious plaudits it deserves. For most people its a album of a moment in their lives and growing up.

Why, Roger? Why does any analysis that is a bit deeper than normal have to get labelled "pretentious"?
In fact, such insights add to the appreciation and enjoyment of the album.

Looking at that list, I was surprised to see "Stars" by Simply Red placed at 13. I wouldn't doubt its credentials as a good album, but I didn't think it sold that well.

A quick glance and I have about 19 out of the 40 Zero listed. And for some I don't have the album listed but might have a compilation. So I didn't count any Beatles albums in the list but have the 'best of' albums (Blue and Red albums).
|
>>it is in fact superbly musically crafted
I can't make my mind up about that. To me it seems it may have just evolved that way rather than being deliberately sculptured so.
>>For most people its a album of a moment in their lives and growing up.
It certainly is that.
