The Who - Tommy

Never really got into The Who until fairly recently. This album is just magic and in the age of shuffle it's still one that I listen to all the way through. Some utter class tracks on it

The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

Just my favourite album of all time. Usually listen to a few tracks off it at least once a week. Its perfect

De La Soul - 3 feet high and rising

Love a bit of hip hop and this was the 1st hip hop album that I got into and is probably in my top 3 hip hop albums. Public Enemy would be a bit heavy for alone time

The Fall - I am Kurious Oranj

Fantastic album. Only got into the Fall about 7 years ago. Listen to them all the time now. Love Mark E SMith

Primal Scream - Screamadelica

Was 14 in 1990. Basically grew up, got hole, drank a lot, partied in the Early to mid 90s. This was a significant part of the soundtrack

The Band - The Band

Just a beautiful album. Listen to a lot. Great musically. Not a bad track on it

Oasis - Definitely Maybe

18. Left school. United won cup

Pixies - Surfer Rosa

Favourite US band. Loud as fuck. Songs about incest. Tits on cover

You can take 2 books with you.

1 that you've previously read and 1 that that you always meant to get round too.

Which books and why?

Ken what? Don't read as much as I should. Would probably take Catch 22 by Joseph Heller to read again. Great book. Very funny.

I book that I've not read but I actually own it would be Das Kapital. Read a page of it for a Marxism course I did at Uni but if I'd be on an island I would dip into it again.

Which person would you miss the most?

The missus, like everybody had ups and downs but she's like a best friend

Or Chips. Been mates for 25 years

What one other inanimate object would you take with you on the island if you could?

If you could take one Dundee Utd match on video to watch over and over again...what match would you choose?

Not going to pick a cup final. Would maybe be that game v Celtic in 1997 at Tannadice. We were just up. Had started the season shitely. Got Tommy McLean in. Kjell, Lars, Eric. Todto they bastards at Tannadice in the last minute was fucking magic. Did damage to their league hopes as well. Its up there with celebrations

Took a fucking age to go in. It was BEDLAM in the East Stand though. Fucking bedlam. Got absolutely fucking proper micked that night as well.

Should have won the cup that season.

Ok Fooky the gauntlet has been thrown down.

You're next Sunday night.

huntedbyafreak · 05/7/2015 7:57 pm

Changed 4 of the albums at the last minute there. Found that difficult.

Rocky Raccoon · 05/7/2015 8:00 pm

Well done Hunted, some good choices, musical tates similar to my own.

Massive Attack songs could be be a great soundtrack to many a life.

Sieb22 · 05/7/2015 8:01 pm

Great read as usual Hunted

Setting the bar high as usual

Cheers mate. Great band. The first album could have easily been in the top 8.

Haha

I'm getting ready to rock

I'd be up for doing this at some point.

Might have an album or two from what has already been chosen, but there's no accounting for good taste amongst us Arabs.

THE LIST makes it sound quite sordid. Not sure I like that.

Nothing wrong with a bit of SORDIDNESS
