Violent Femmes
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Accept – Balls To The Wall (CD) - Discogs

Had to fix the quote, sorry. 

A friend of mine used to work as a part-time dominatrix and one time she needed music for a live performance. She asked if I could do an extended edit of the song Balls to the Wall, which I did by cutting, copying and pasting different parts of the song. Easy to do on a computer. No permissions were asked of course but I guess the crime has expired.

Venom - Black Metal 

Birthday Party - Junkyard is also great and has the best cover art:



Here's a cool video of the title track. Beware of Tracy Pew's pelvis!!!

I guess I'll vote for Kate Bush. I just laid there and let the thermoses roll over me.

Balls To The Wall means going all out, 100% commitment. Apparently it started in the the 1960's when airplane throttle had a ball on the top of the stick so you pushed it all the way forward it was 100% power.

Thanks for explaining. I didn't know that. EmbarrassedSmile

The number of albums I'd vote over The Dreaming worldwide and of any time is somewhere around one, maybe two.

I like a few of his albums.

Since others are sharing picks of 82, that aren't a poll choice. Allan Holdsworth released I.O.U, a fusion masterpiece that still sounds fresh today. 

True, very good choice. Thumbs Up

yeah, pretty awful cover, probably inspired by Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers which also inspired Motley Crue's debut album cover.

The album is from 1983 and is a very good one, ugly cover or not.

^ Somehow, I get the feeling the music contained within won't be much better than the tasteless album title and terrible cover. Thumbs Down

Hardly the first time that we disagree on the value of an album.  It took some time for me to grow into The Dreaming, but it is now one of my very favourite Kate Bush albums.

It may appear that I'm not a Kate Bush fan by that pitifully low rating, but in my defence, I have given Hounds of Love, Aerial and Fifty Words for Snow a full 5-star rating. The Dreaming has always been more of a nightmare album for me to listen to all the way through though. Embarrassed



At least I knew you liked various Kate Bush albums very much, and I can understand The Dreaming being much harder listen for you. I did not like it at first on the whole, but it grew on me over time. I had to concentrate on certain tracks first, and now I can appreciate the whole album. Sometimes If I can get into just one of the tracks or even part of it, then the whole album will start to open up for me. Kate Bush is often quirky, but this is quirkiness is more abstract, experimental/ avant-gardish I think than other albums. It was for me a grower and one I did not care much for 30 years ago but now love.

For many years The Kick Inside clearly was my Kate Bush favourite album.
Duos for fave acts
