    Shit. Just read on the Beeb that Dave Greenfield (keyboardist) has died of coronavirus. I still have RN on vinyl, will have to crank up the volume, a bit later. Grip here I come.

    Sad news indeed. Saw them in June 1977 at the Electric Circus when I was a (part time) punk.

    Most albums never really stayed with me out of a few plays as I'm a fussy bastard and just want to hear the tracks I like.

    Those studio albums I can usually listen to without the itch of wanting to skip;

    Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd (though Money always jars a bit)
    Trailer Park - Beth Orton
    BRMC - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
    Hats - Blue Nile
    Parklife - Blur
    The biggest winners are the Cocteau Twins - I can listen to pretty much any album of theirs in its entireity.
    Similar for the Cure between Seventeen Seconds and Wish.
    Albumen - The Egg
    Skying/Primary Colours - The Horrors
    The Big Roar - Joy Formidable
    Computer World - Kraftwerk
    Split - Lush
    Holy Bible - Manic Street Preachers
    Attack of the Grey Lantern/Six - Mansun
    Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
    The Comforts of Madness/In Ribbons - Pale Saints
    The Italian Flag - Prolapse
    Foxbase Alpha - St Etienne
    Takk - Sigur Ros
    New Gold Dream/Sons & Sisters - Simple Minds
    Just for a Day - Slowdive
    Reading, Writing & Arithmatic - The Sundays
