Turkeys And Peaches

I bought a couple of CDs recently.

A turkey ...

Ministry of Sound - Jungle Classics - "The Ultimate Drum 'N' Bass Jungle Album".

I bought it hoping for a double CD of pumping bass grooves ... like on the sea front clubs ... and ... it's a bit sh!t.

And a peach ...

Tom Jones's Reload.

I bought it just for one track ... the "Baby It's Cold Outside" duet with Cerys Matthews, and ... the whole CD is a peach - storming - a blinder - the dog's - (I can't think of any other London sort of expressions, but you get the gist.

So, come on ... what peaches and turkeys have you stumbled across?

Today we collected our chickens :-)

LOL ... sorry

I only played one CD of the "Jungle Classics" before deciding it was a bit wishy washy, and shoving it in a cupboard.

So no Ministry Of Sound to disturb the neighbours.

I bought a portable CD/radio from a charity shop. There was a CD in it by Ali Farke Toure & Ry Cooder....It's a belter ! I now have most of Ali FT's albums.
As for turkeys...my ex bought me Queen's A Night at the Opera...a complete
bag of sh1te

The Tom Jones album is cool (and I like anything that Cerys does too)

OH, YEAH ... it was Bohemian Rhapsody

The rest, I agree, is a bit rubbish.

Come on, funny ... ya gotta love D&B ...

I'm liking it, chuck.

I have a few Ry Cooder (Borderline, Chicken Skin Music, etc ... but not the one caarrust mentions.

Along with Bat Out of Hell, Bohemian Rhapsody is the worst record of all time IMHO.

It made a good appearance in Wayne's World.

Turkey?

Not too recently but Linkin Park's fourth album A Thousand Suns. It was described as `genre-busting'. I described it to my mate as "It's erm..... Mmmmm." Some very strange noises on it.

A peach of an album is Streets In The sky by The Enemy. All the songs are great.

I love A Night At The Opera ('39, Seaside Rendezvous, The Prophet's Song, Good Company and, of course, Bo Rhap.).

"Bo Rhap" ?

That's so cool.

I never liked Linkin Park, it's not really my sort of thing, but I do have respect for them ever since hearing this.... the guy can really sing.
