Good question.

@jonorfolk I was really surprised at how good this was

#Top20SingSongAlbums Day 11 Grian Chatten - Chaos For the Fly

🎯

Attempts to catch Sherlock mid-catch are ongoing

@GlamRatchet @sprungatom Agreed

@sprungatom @sagray Overture is a gorgeous piece of music

#Top20SingSongAlbums Day 9 Mark E Smith / The Fall There’s no doubt (for me) that Mark E Smith was a songwriter. Allegedly not the greatest musician but seemed to be able meld people to produce his songs / vision. Might be a controversial choice as The Fall members contributed a lot - but without him there is no Fall The Fall - I am curious orange youtu.be/6A3cHzFQsqI?si…

#DavidsMonthOfMusic April 11th - Over 7 minutes George Michael - Cowboys & Angels youtu.be/Ve-rxwKuqtI?si…

#Top20SingSongAlbums Day 11 Frank Turner - Positive Songs for Negative People Aside from being one of the best album titles…he’s great live youtu.be/gTgf4MmnrwA?si… “I once wrote you love songs You never fell in love We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves And I once wrote you postcards You never wrote back Promised me you would and I'm still waiting for them”

@derek_tash A lot of people did that at the Piece Hall when I saw them

#SawItLive New Order started playing Atmosphere and I just spontaneously burst into tears

#SawItLive April 11th - Day 6 A band I have seen live Flogging Molly - There’s Nothing Left Part 1 Opener followed by a lot of fun youtu.be/GnNcfGh_cMY?si…

@faulty_thinking Only recently came across him with his new album - looking forward to hearing more. I’ll start here

#Top20SingSongAlbums 11. Bill Callahan - Apocalypse From his band, Smog, through to his work under his own name, he’s been a lyrical genius. A wry humour, proud of his country but also critical… as this track shows. 🎶 America youtu.be/ItGY5GB1YAQ?si…

@LeoAguirre82578 It’s on my list as well…

#Top20SingSongAlbums 11 Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 George Michæl | 1990 🎶 The rich declare themselves poor And most of us are not sure If we have too much but we'll take our chances 'Cause God's stopped keeping score I guess somewhere along the way He must have let us all out to play Turned His back and all God's children Crept out the back door Praying For Time youtu.be/goroyZbVdlo?si…

Retweet for a chance to win A We Are Live Tour T shirt, a sweatshirt, a bucket hat (all in your size) and a mug Winner picked at random 10am on Thursday April 23rd

@deepblue3378 Such a strong album (and a shame it’s the only one)

#Top20SingSongAlbums 11. Mark Hollis | S/ The Colour of Spring “I've lived a life for wealth to bring And yet I'll gaze The colour of spring Immerse in that one moment Left in love with everything” youtu.be/Pdf--O5WWrU?si…

@deffuffsay It’s a good song - nice to have those car memories

@sagray My dad used to play this in the car and I love telegraph road.

Day 10 #AlbumsThatShapedYourLifeTop10 I’m tapping out at 10 - good luck to those who do another 10 When I started buying CDs (because vinyl was yesterday right) I made a conscious choice to pick a first album It’s no longer my favourite Dire Straits album let alone my favourite album - but it does hold a special place for me. Dire Straits - love over gold youtu.be/CiT0mUDCRMU?si… Industrial Disease “They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind They wanna sap your energy, incarcerate your mind Give ya "Rule Britannia", gassy beer, page three Two weeks in España and Sunday striptease"

@MattBurt9791_ Agree - great debut & great band

#AlbumsThatShapedYourLifeTop10 Day 10: The Coral by The Coral Something just clicks with certain bands when you first hear them. They become “your” band. The Coral for me are “that”band. A psychedelic, intergalactic, voodoo magic, rock ‘n’ roll, dub, sea shanty trip of an album

#Top20SingSongAlbums Day 10 Ghostpoet - I grow tired but I dare not sleep youtu.be/-fSJiv07BTk?si… “And I want peace In my heart in my inner being But won't find it here With all this constant war mongering”

Day 5 #SawItLive A favourite live moment I quite like it when a band throw in an unexpected cover version or special guests appear - festivals are good for that. Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk Great song, stellar performances youtu.be/0UCM9o4w_wU?si…

@faulty_thinking Actually really enjoying them. They aren’t trying to be The Fall anymore on the latest and seem to have an identity of their own on Inklings. You?

@sagray Hmm yes I can go with this take 👍 What do you make of House of All?
