@cuppa_coffee At this point, Beak> is the only new album I've bought this year! 😬I'm not proud of that fact, something i need to rectify b4 the end of the year. But i can confirm it's a good album. Most definitely worth a listen. I'm off to see them tonight too...

@Morgs1968 The name sounds familiar, but don't know them.
Only found one song on Spotify, which almost makes me more intrigued to check them out 👍

@Doob76 This rocked my world in 1989.
I was in a minority, but the songs and the late, great Pat Collier’s production brought me up sharp. Wonderful band live. Intense.

@Jonny_Hallidaye @RichardS7370 Yes, i think that's probably it. NGD sounds a bit more indie. Probably the mid pount btwn the early post punk stuff and the later more mainstream stuff. For me, that's a good place to be! 👍

@Doob76 @RichardS7370 I heard Sparkle first,I wonder if it's that?
Gold does sound more indie club, less stadium pomp!

Pleasantly surprised with how much I've enjoyed revisiting the Simple Minds albums. It just missed out on my 5, but Empires & Dance was my most played last time round.
Enjoyed both of these, but its New Gold Dream that's clocking up the most listens here #5albums80s3

@Jonny_Hallidaye @RichardS7370 Did enjoy Sparkle too, but New Gold Dream is the one I keep going back to 👌

@Doob76 @RichardS7370 I know everyone raves about New Gold Dream, but for me, Sparkle is Pefection.

@SuzanneFricke Not sure what you'd call it? Psychedelic Country Punk? I dunno, but i's a great sound! 👌
English

@Doob76 Both are in my mix too - I love this Meat Puppets record
English

@hair_rayney Also very good. I got a copy on Amazon for a decent price. In fact, I think it might've been cheaper than my copy of II (on CD) somehow
It's going on next...👍

@Doob76 Healthy dose of Meat Puppets this time. Must get Up On The Sun on vinyl...
