WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME

Advantages: U2 in all their glory, raw and gritty!
Disadvantages: Interviews are not particularly helpful

...not actually a fan of U2 until I saw this documentary film on TV. I quite liked a few of their previous songs, after seeing U2 perform on 'THE TUBE', a music programme in the early 80s. Being married at the time to a U2 fan, meant that U2 was blasted out most days, and I finally got the message! From here I worked forward enjoying follow up releases, such as 'Achtung Baby' and 'Zooropa' and working back via 'The Joshua Tree' to the 'Unforgettable ...
...join a band. U2 started to have success in the 1980s, and they haven't looked back since. Since the release of their album The Joshua Tree they have often been referred to as the biggest rock band in the world by both fans and critics. Their music is mostly self penned, with lyrics usually by Bono. U2 are almost as well known for their humanitarian work as they are for their music. Bono is perhaps the best-known advocate for finding a cure for AIDS ...

Dum Diddy diddle diddy dum diddy dee..

Advantages: Cool, mellow, nice!
Disadvantages: None.

. . Title refers to the theme tune of the Old Grey Whistle Test of course! Presenter Bob Harris (AKA "Whispering Bob Harris", because of his quiet voice and "laid back" style). did a brilliant job of presenting a programme a lot of you won't have heard of. You may have seen mickey takes of it on shows like "The fast show" doing a parady called The Jazz Show (cool) and even Monty Python's Flying Circus did a sketch of it, The show brought onto the ...
...special effects to improve anything. The stage props were either curtains, or more often just the backs of the walls from other sets.

Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother

Advantages: brilliantly creative
Disadvantages: short track listing

...only in the capabilities of Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother provides a stunning colabiration between soft rock and the honest style of classical and progressive music. Despite being blaitantly contrasting to earlier efforts from Pink Floyd (i.e. Relics, the acid induced trip through seemingly random, but clearly well structured music in the form of a debut album), this change in "genre" has allowed Pink Floyd to develop their style to an extent whereby ...
...probes deeply into the image Pink Floyd create for themselves. The cow standing in a very stereotypical field gives no insight as to what the actual content of the album may be, and consequently acts almost as a metaphor for the ideal of not wanting to be pinned to any specific approach to music. This is something Pink Floyd can pride themselves with on all of their records. A slight drawback is the elasticity between the short amount of tracks, ...

Disadvantages: None

≈♫♪≈♪≈♫♪≈ ABBA GOLD ≈♫♪≈♪≈♫♪≈ During the 70’s ABBA rapidly became very popular. Once never heard of, they emerged from Sweden and started taking over the world. ABBA had a habit of coming out with songs that had the kind of melodies that people find very hard to get out of their head. They also used to wear some wacky clothes on stage, which ...
...storm. My first memories of ABBA were those of waking to hear my Mum downstairs with an LP on. At the time I didn’t know that she was listening to ABBA, nor was I old enough to understand any of the words that they were singing, but the tunes stuck in my head from an early age and once I was old enough to understand I soon became one of ABBA’s next generation fans. Of course, if it was not for the Eurovision song contest ABBA may not have made ...
