@jc Someone cunningly started a rumour that it was the first and secret single from a reformed Beatles, to pump up sales.
Yep. Played on rumours of an un-released Beatles album called The Sun IIRC. Sub Rosa Subway was supposed to be a reference to Macca's Red Rose Speedway.
1978-I'm feeling real old...

Watched them live decades ago - the intro before the vocals come in went on for about 5 minutes. Ace concert.

Bit of Brucey on a rainy day...

@mn5 Listened to Tiny Music & No.4 today and have concluded that after Core, for me, STP are purely a best of band. Some good songs in there, but not enough to have me listening to them all the time.
Sour Girl is cracking track.
It is. One of many top tunes from them. Tiny Music was a very good album too ( a step down but that’s no surprise, no band can keep up that level of awesome )
I need to listen to No 4 again, that’s today’s car music sorted !

I had a "holy fuck I'm getting old" moment the other week, Metallica's Black Album turned 30 years old. It wasn't even my first Metallica album
The Black Album cops waaaaay more shit than it deserved. Metallica's old school thrash-head fans saw it as "selling out man" because you know, fuck them for having the money to actually spend on production. It was a huuuuuuge move away from the direction of Justice, which was just 9 really fucking long intricate songs. It's far more accessible, which i guess the thrash heads hated? But that doesn't change the fact that it's consistently excellent (2 filler tracks i reckon) and at times both fast, and heavy as fuck.
They just re-released it, remastered of course, but also with a project where a heap of artists did covers of the various tracks. I don't like most of them, but the flamenco version of Struggle Within is fucking great.
The best part of the re-release is having the Tushino Airfield concert now on Spotify. Metallica have always been an excellent live band, and this is them at the peak of their powers.
yeah, the Black Album isn't heavy at all...

arguably the best band of the 80s and early 90s

Personal opinion or album sales ? Either way Gunners make a compelling case too.
Quite a few personal favourites I’d throw in the mix too but in terms of huge bands hard to go past those two.

“The Cuervo Gold/The fine Colombian/Make tonight a wonderful thing,” sings the narrator of “Hey Nineteen,” and then he sings it again, as if that’ll make it true. The narrator of the bouncy, Michael McDonald-enhanced “Time Out of Mind” seems to be in a pretty good mood, but it’s only because he knows he’s going to go somewhere later and smoke heroin until L.A. morphs into Lhasa. Everyone’s alone, or together in a way that’s worse than being alone; every lyric is a one-sided dialogue.
