unker kona recommends unkster muzak (part 1)

SONGS FROM THE BIG CHAIR - TEARS FOR FEARS
timeless brit pop....standouts are of course SHOUT, HEAD OVER HEELS and EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD...







DISCOGRAPHY - PET SHOP BOYS
another spearhead of the brit invasion...this album has the 1st 18 singles on 1 disc in chronological order...as such, it is a terrific CD to buy as your 1st PSB album...it offers a kickass overview of their material...infectious, unadulterated fun and intelligent music at its finest...




THE GREATEST HITS - DURAN DURAN
the band that gave us THE REFLEX and other glam-pop ditties like HUNGRY LIKE A WOLF, RIO, GIRLS ON FILM, PLANET EARTH, ELECTRIC BARBARELLA et al..the vanguard of the brit invasion of the 80s...the fab five...what more can i say...simply can't do without it!





POP! - ERASURE
club dance-techno-pop classic from the duo of vince clarke (formerly of depeche mode) and andy bell (formerly of the communards)...listen to THE CIRCUS...a damning critique of the issues with technology...a mainstay of the retro movement ;)






DEPECHE MODE - 101
if one hasn't heard of the pre-eminent electronica band of the 80s, then where have you been? as an introduction to dave gahan, martin gore and the rest, i implore u...please....have a listen to this one...







CHRONICLES - CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
classic southern blues rock n roll band which had their heyday in the late 60s...go listen, i guarantee you will enjoy it...






BREAD - THE BEST OF
david gates and the rest of the gang were nigh on geniuses...genuinely hummable and sublime melodies...








HELL FREEZES OVER - THE EAGLES
the comeback album from the masters of AOR...this is recorded as DDD format...clarity is superb and soundstaging is excellent...the live version of HOTEL CALIFORNIA deserves its place in the lists of modern classics...for all fans of the eagles, you cannot do without this one...





RATTLE AND HUM - U2
another classic from U2...check out their version of the bob dylan classic ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER...stupifyingly good :D







THE JOSHUA TREE - U2
still THE U2 album for me...seminal...unbelievable guitar riffs from the Edge and Bono's incredible vocals...how to go wrong buying this one???
