AWESOME!
though I had Thriller as out in 82.
Radish, now there's a name I haven't heard in a while!
As I said on my blog, for Neutral Milk Hotel fans, there is a tribute night happening in the Lower Deck on August 23rd.
1999-2001 were clearly your hip-hop years.
It's weird that there are a couple of years that yield LOADS of favourite albums, and others that are a bit of a struggle.
"1999-2001 were clearly your hip-hop years." - you do realise this is the title of the third installment of my autobiography? On the ball, Nialler, as always!
All I have to say is that The Prodigy is the best band ever! This website made a list of the best banned videos and they got 2nd place! http://www.weshow.com/top10/en/music/top-10-banned-music-videos
THEY'RE THE BEST!!
