Sure!

And I still rank "The More Things Change..." as one of the best metal albums ever. Those were the days!

And now back to sanity :

The Marvelettes ‎– The Definitive Collection (Universal)

Plenty of new worth checking out. Metal continues to move forward and the new bands are grinding for the love of it.

Born To Run

Never noticed before that a Richard Davis plays bass on 'Meeting Across The River'. I'm assuming it's the Richard Davis? Quick online check suggests as much.

From Igor to The Boss!

Don't remember mention of him in the autobiography - I'm sure I would have noted that

Happens whenever he releases a new one, which I don't buy

Even though he’s a god in my state, I was never a fan.

I used to be a huge fan but, after “Tunnel Of Love”, I find his music too linear. Of course, there still a bunch of good songs here and there, and “The Ghost of Tom Joad” partially successfully points to “Nebraska” (which is a gem!!!). But nothing like “The River”, “Darkness...”, “Born to Run”...

Some of his songs still bring tears to my eyes whenever I listen to them, for different sentimental reasons: “Thunder Road”, “I Wanna Marry You”, “No Surrender”, “Badlands”... and many more...

That's almost exactly how I feel about his discography. The run to 'Tunnel Of Love' is great. After that,, the occasional good song but I always check out the new ones just in case. 'Darkness...' is the one for me but probably no coincidence that it was the first I bought on release day having discovered 'Born to Run' a year after release. I know what you mean about the emotional impact too.

I liked Echo & The Bunnymen a lot too, up to 'Ocean Rain'

If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all. 

Still looking for the wine and women, though.

Those are pretty deep thoughts! 😀

Now listening:

 

I know it’s a classic but... not my cup of tea.

Mark-Almond Band S/T. One of those albums, that the minute you hear it, it places you in the 1970s

Mentioned this band earlier, but have been listening to these albums specifically. Also the live one, but these are more focused.
Also the last couple of Riverside albums. Just saw them live for the first time last week. A much more upbeat show than I expected, but solid as a rock.
