Album/ Gig of the year anyone?

[DAN]

Ok, I know no one comes here anymore but back in the day we used to do an album of the year vote which was so popular Danko Jones won it with Born a Lion one year mainly down to me & Reg voting for it when to be honest even then we knew it wasn't very good...we just liked the live show.

So anyway album of the year was Jim Jones Revue by Jim Jones Revue. Tho' Black Ice was pretty cool too.

Gig is more difficult, could be...

Motorhead AND Saxon at Hammersmith
Fall Of Troy and/ or KISS at Download
Eel Shock pretty well anywhere tho' Lillehammer & Galway were particularly good.
Future of The Left at Reading
Nick Cave at Brixton or was it Hammersmith...one of those big barns anyway.
Brown Trout in Hachiouji (what? you missed that one??)
Jim Jones Revue tonight.

Any thoughts? Anyone care?

[Fat Reg]

Album? The Damned - So, Who's Paranoid. By a country mile....

Gig? Like Dan, this is tricky as I saw many good ones, so here's the best of them:
The Damned, Cambridge Junction
KISS at Download
Morrissey at O2 Wireless Festival, Hyde Park
The Ting Tings at Reading
Hot Leg at The Park, Peterborough

Is anyone else out there?

[Nik]

Just about.

Looking back it's been a pretty decent year for music really.

Album: 4 come to mind

The King Blues - Get the girl, save the world
Laura Marling - Alas, I cannot Swim
Frank Turner - Love, Ire and Song
The All New Adventures Of Us - Best loved Goodnight Tales.

Gig: Christ, bloody loads...

Prong at the underworld
Anti-Flag plus The King Blues at the 100 club
Down at Brixton academy
Ministry at the Forum
KISS at Download
Beans on Toast at 2000 Trees
Alestorm at Bloodstock
Rage at Reading
Killing Joke at the Forum
Frank Turner at the Scala
Laura Marling at the Scala
Slipknot and Machine Head at Hammersmith Apollo

...were some of the best!

Here's to another strong year, last night at the Astoria on Tuesday and Preast Feast in Feburary...
