I gave my best friend my copy of The Head on the Door after the reissues came out several years ago.

And a very good gift that was. I've not heard any of the reissues having drfited on to other listens after Wish (I guess, early 1990s?) Worth a look?

The reissues are definitely worth a look. But I think you did right to get off the train after Wish. None of their recordings since then have done anything for me.

Yes! that makes it look as though I had a clue. Thanks Fickles. Now I can be a music connes connosur snob.

Close to Me remains one of my favourites down the years. That was from The Head on the Door, I think? It was a few years before I knew anyone else that liked them.

Close to Me was indeed from The Head on the Door, as were In Between Days and A Night Like This. Of the tracks on that album not released as singles, my favorite is Push.

Cure discussion? Since you didn't ask, the definitive (*) top 5 albums are

1. Head on the Door
2. Disintegration
3. 17 Seconds
4. Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
5. Pornography

(*) Subject to change based on mood, the weather, time of day and what happens to be in the car at the time.

It's funny how tensions lead to removal of Lawerence Tolhurst (Lol, before the letters were used for something else), with Gallop and others famously declaring he did nothing in the band, yet the quality unmistakably dropped in his absence. He must have added something to the mix, even if it was just to antagonise everyone.

Andy Bey's Shades Of Bey. (1998) Outstanding jazz singing, and a great cast of musicians. Including one of my all-time favorites: The pianist/composer Geri Allen.

5. Wish

As for Queen I loved the video for Radio Ga Ga, set in Metropolis. I hadn't seen Metropolis when the Queen video came out, but the tiny clips and images I had seen had already marked it out as something special.

He was dismissed before it was released, but is still credited on the album ("Other instruments"). There are conflicting stories as to how much (if at all) he contributed.

Ah, okay. Thanks for clarifying that, Dave.

Regarding Queen, I think they were one of the classiest acts in an often crass genre. I have almost all their albums, as well as their videography.

Long as we're talking about the Cure, it's worth mentioning Robert Smith's contributions to Siouxsie and the Banshees. He had TWO stints as the Banshees' guitarist, and was the prime mover behind their wonderful cover of the Beatles' "Dear Prudence".



And, as heretical as it might sound, I think the Banshees' "Nocturne" and "Hyaena", both with Smith on guitar, are both underrated albums.

Most likely inspired by the Dear Prudence cover posted above, I've spent a good portion of this weekend rediscovering the Beatles. And when all is said and done, my favorite Beatles album still is, and will always be, this one:

It's a great album, but my heart will always be on the promenade listening to Sgt Pepper.

No doubt in part because it was trying to keep up with Pet Sounds that was trying to keep up with Rubber Soul.

It just dawned on me that Rocket Raccoon is named after the Beatles Rocky Raccoon song. Sure enough, it's even on wiki.

But...is the Legion's Policy Pam based on Polythene Pam from Abbey Road? Giffen's paw in both characters?
