Now, to find the cRAB of them.
 
I got downloaded some Clash tribute album but it was so shit I deleted it without even bothering to listen to the bloody thing.
I have no desire to listen to shit like Rancid , Silverchair or No Doubt ruining Clash songs.

Kept the Afgan Whigs song though.
 
Hawkwind pioneered only one kind of space rock though. Hence, I will say to that banRAB such as the Ozric Tentacles, Gong, Hidria Spacefolk, Eloy and early Pink Floyd might suit your tastes better if you want to hear a more literal kind of "space" rock.

Speaking of which, today I got....

Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets

Read many a' good thing about this sophomore release, and oddly enough its the only album by them I hadn't heard before. Thus far, I'm convinced its one of the best albums I've ever heard. :hphones:

Jan Dukes de Grey - Mice and Rats in the Loft

Obscure acid-folk in the vein of Comus arranged into prog-like suites? **** yeah!!!!
 
I actually found Willie the Pimp to be the hardest track to get into on Hot Rats. Peaches en Regalia and Son of Mr. Green Genes were pretty instant though.

Anyways, went down to the public library and found these babies:

I read about this Kaki King on Wiki as she had been supporting the Foo Fighters or something & is pretty good mates with Dave Grohl.
Sadly, I havent got round to listening to this yet so cant comment. I have heard from several people that she is an excellent player though.

I have known the Foo Fighters for years but strangely the only two albums I have never heard are this one & 'The Colour & The Shape'. I have all the others, 'There Is Nothing Left To Lose' being my favourite out of those.

I think it is the heaviest Foo Fighters album I ever heard (unless Colour & Shape is heavier). 'This Is A Call' is a fantastic song as are the proceeding 3 tracks. Have only listened once so will have to listen more to get into the other tracks.

Haha, this is (how to put it) extremely different avant garde music. The band is a third incarnation of the original band 'King Missile' all of which include the versatile singer & composer John S Hall.
This album is humorous & angry at the same time (see the song 'America Kicks Ass' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_Kicks_Ass).
There are also other really strange songs where he suggest we 'Get Down With The Funky ****' ('Get down into the ****...roll around in it').
The funny thing about this album is that the music is excellent but is a parody of what he is actually talking about over the music or screaming at times.
On the song 'Suggested Response To The Coming Crisis' he suggests that people should be 'ass f*cking' in the street- especially women f*cking men in the ass with *****s' saying that we should 'f*ck our way out of global warming'.
Now this isnt exactly my favourite topic for a singer to talk about but I find it pretty funny to listen to.

I have been into Stone Roses for years, they were one of the first banRAB that got me into guitar based music.

I had been aware of this for a while but had been put off by the aspect of all their songs remixed as I wasnt really into electronica at the time.
But since Ive come to appreciate/gotten into artists like 808 State, Orbital & A Guy Called Gerald - all of which feature on this album- I went out and managed to get it for a fiver.
The thing that I really enjoyed about listening to this album was that I hadnt listened to Stone Roses in a long time so to hear their songs remixed with longer intros & then recognise every single song and remeraber how much I used to love listening to them, it really made it a great listen.
