Album of 1984 (Round 3) - RESULT

[1964white]

Never liked anything they've done Leon, Another Brick In The Wall is the equivalent of Come On Eileen for me

Agree, I was never a fan of The Wall album, too long & overrated imo!

Jill loves the 'brick' song

I still prefer 'brick' to 'Eileen'.

[1964white]

Tight finish Leon, I thought 17 Seconds would stroll this, BB to decide matters

Always loved 'Into The Trees' a classic song.

I love Siouxsie's music even more, one of my favourite artists of the late 70s/80s

[White Riot]

Another close poll.

Well done Nick nominating the winning album, unlucky Sara.

Congrats Nick, helluva comeback

Very unlucky Sara

[The Subhuman]

Wish you were here pisses all over dark side, as does Meddle

[1964white]

Wish you were here pisses all over dark side, as does Meddle

I love 'Meddle & 'Atom Heart Mother'

Back then, 'Meddle' was my favourite

[The Subhuman]

One of the all time great rock albums for me

Fugazi 'Repeater'

Blueprint is probably my track of the nineties

[The Subhuman]

I love 'Meddle & 'Atom Heart Mother'

Back then, 'Meddle' was my favourite

Meddle, More, Obscured, AHM, WYWH and Saucerful all get air time here still, Dark Side hardly ever.

[1964white]

The Fall 'Extricate'

[SG90]

One of the all time great rock albums for me

Fugazi 'Repeater'

Blueprint is probably my track of the nineties

[SG90]

My first foray into hippity hoppity

Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet

[Muppet the Cat]

Gary Moore ‘Still Got The Blues’

[onemoreslogan]

Yeah, Kev is a strange one mate

I was really lucky in that the first gig I attended was in 1979 at Carlisle Market Hall, when I'd just turned 17. Place was absolutely jammed.

Dexy's opened and were absolutely fantastic, with Kev and his mannerisms, the black wooly hats, donkey jackets and the horns blowing. Doesn't get much better than that to be your first live band.

Next up was The Selecter, I was in love with Pauline Black, still am. Selecter were brilliant, danced my guts out.

Top of the bill was The Specials, stunning performance, Terry Hall is a fooking legend. I'm sure Message To Rudy went to number one on the day of that gig.

All of that for 3 squid

Still one of my most fondly remembered gigs

Wow. That's a great story Riot and it must've been a hell of a show! I'm a little in love with Pauline Black too. She had some pipes.

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Gary Moore ‘Still Got The Blues’

Cracking album will probably get next to no votes chief.
I'll give it a miss from now on 64
