They call me Avocado Baby
Good morning, afternoon or evening fellow Evertonians, how goes it?
Pretty bored this evening and felt like typing some words about some stuff, so here it is. Feel free to add your words on an album you think it worthy of a Top 5 Rating. I'm talking World Class. For those lucky enough to be part of the Not so secret Music Clique, you'll know we love nothing more than a band with less than 100 hundred YouTube views, no record deal, a singer who's first name is probably something like "The" or "Win" and no Wikipedia page or twitter feed in sight. However, we all like a popular album that will be remembered as a classic. What the hell is it and why?
*we'll start a "You've never heard of this album, but this is why it's ace, but don't tell anyone, as I want to be their only fan" thread soon, for some alternative awesomeness
Anyway, I've gone for Hot Fuss. Yeah there's better albums to start with, granted, but even the album cover is pretty awesome huh. It's the first vinyl I bought (and now appears to be worth quite a bit). I went to their first UK gig at Brixton which started at 3pm one Saturday afternoon back in 2004 I think. The album seemed to come out at a time where I wasn't really enjoying much else. The charts were full of Eamon, Westlife, the X Factor and DJ Casper, but this was the start of some of music revival, for me anyway.
I've not listened to this in quite some time, but I've found myself again buying a new Killers album and being yet again, a but underwhelmed by it. However, like any new release from a band you used to adore, you always put on their best album on, in anticipation of their forth coming release. I kind of wish I hadn't, as listening to Hot Fuss has made me really realise, their last few efforts have not really been all that in comparison, sadly. But they've all had a hard act to follow in my opinion
I've been trying to think of another album over the past 10 years that has a better opening 5 songs, than this album??
Jenny was a fiend of mine - Part of their so called "Murder Trilogy". A monster of an opening track. Anyone own Alan Partridge Series 2? Course you do, go put it on and listen to the music on the main menu when Alan's playing Air Guitar? Sounds very familiar huh
Mr Brightside - Need I say more? Whatever you think of The Killers (probably not a great deal) you can't help enjoy this number
Followed by incredibly catchy - Smile Like you mean it, the Indie Student Uni Bar anthem of 2005 - Somebody told me and the Anthemic - All these things that I've done.
That's some start to an album by my book, they all offer something different with a couple of them instantly going down as classics. Perhaps it tails off at the end, well, of course it does, but this is probably still one of the best albums of the 10 or so years, easy.
Anyway, not sure I was really trying to convince anyone there, but I'd like some of yours please bro's
Bored here and I miss the days when we had more Musical threads than we did ones about Everton, Pardew or Saurez
