Yorks - 405 Somerset - 377 Yorks - 154 for 2, Lyth 93, Sayers 12, McGrath 38 no Yorks have a lead of 182 runs Another big score from Lyth scoring 235 in this match, great to have a opener who gets us off to good start at long last, reminds me of the Boycott years Will McGrath build on his innings as...

No way, too many. I don't really rate albums, I just know which are perfect for me and hence a ten, and I have a rough idea of my favorite twenty, amongst friends we often have (how shall I put this..erm, lets say drunken) disscussions about our desert island discs, and the reasons for choosing the...

Yorks - 405

Somerset - 377

Yorks - 0 for 0 ( 2 overs )

I ask the question in a earlier post

Has anyone rated every album they own ?

If so you may inspire me to reconsider rating every god damn album i own

Where do i begin

And rightly so deserves a 10

The original thread, over on the dark side, was entitled "Which album never dies on you even after 1,000 listens?" That's the criterion I use when I rate an album as a 10. There is a spectrum of ratings and of attitude towards ratings; at one end you have that idiot Inspectah Duck who rav...

Into the midnight hour WR & i were discussing the merits of the Bowie back catalogue & continuing the subject of rating albums we came up with about seven 10 star Bowie albums, bring the Beatles, Stones, Dylan into the equasion & i'm sure we'd be looking at around twenty-five 10 star stu...

Yes Tele you may be on your own with Rio

I missed Jools tonight (kicking myself) but I bet Yeasayer stole the show. I well remember their first appearance - took my breath away, as did All Hour Cymbals when released. No doubt someone recommended it way back then. Oddblood is also one of the great albums from the very best of the Brooklyn ...

"Gossip In The Grain" is a grower too. It has Ethan Johns written all over it though and the horns detract from the "one man, one guitar" stuff that was the highlight of "Trouble", much as the strings in parts of "Til The Sun Turns Black" could easily have be...

Telepres wrote: It's tough. I tried to vary them a bit.

Don't worry about it Tele, you had what i consider at least 6 x 10 star albums in your list, others would disagree as it all down to a matter of tastes

Tuesday's playlist from the Wolds Stone The Crows - Ontinous Performance Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed RL Burnside - A Ass Pocket Of Wiskey Gregory Isaacs - Sinnerman Ray Lamontague - Gossip In The Grain Really enjoyed the top four, disappointed with Ray L admittedly on first hearing, his 'Trouble' ...

One ot two recent posts have mentioned which albumns folks rate as 10 out of 10 which begs the question Do you remember when the music poll started on the dark side, the thread was "Which albumn do you still rate even after a 100 plays" or something like that Can any of you remember which...

Ok folks, time for me to sheepishly say I was wrong about Hold Steady Courtesy of '64 I,ve listened to Boys and Girls in America today which you all know is tip top. Also today: Captain Beefhart Blue jeans (sorry WR) Supertramp Crime of the Century Moodies - Every Good Boy Free Live (again, thanks ...

I rated about 350 of my albums before i got fed up as my collection grew & grew, wonder if i returned to those albums whether i would rate them differently

Does anyone have certain rules when rating an album as Faaip does

GW is probably like me, likes to keep that top mark for something truly special and probably quite personal too, I'd imagine I'd also have a stack of 9 and a majority of 7's and 8's It's been done to death but could you whittle down your collection to those 10 "desert isle " discs...WR?.....

I think that is the third time that McGrath has scored a big score one day, returned to the crease the next morning & not added to his total - fine cricketer though
