I could have picked more than Elizium, but that one is outstanding. I'm a sad old goth and a huge Nephs and Neph-related fan: Rubicon, Nefilim, Sensorium, Saint's Of Eden, Last Rites, NFD and The Eden House - all good stuff.


Yeah, I like a lot of old goth stuff, too. The Nephs second album was also excellent. Last Exit for the Lost was one of my favourite songs from that era.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

The best Huey Louis and the News album!  Good choice it is a masterpiece great songs from start to end.  Bands often frontload their albums these days but EC didn't need or try to with this as it finishes as strongly as it starts.   I think its his best album but probabaly not progressive in any way LOL


They were called 'Clover' then right?
 
Yes they were called Clover, but I have never heard them except on this. 
 
Nice list of yours btw Exit a lot of my faves on it

I love Madness!
I count "Keep Moving" among my all time favorite albums, I should have mentioned it sooner.  Most of their albums are fantastic though.

I think Huey Lewis was in Clover, but it wasn't the same band that later became Huey Lewis and the News.  I could be wrong.

I listened to this today for the first time, so I don't know whether it's a "masterpiece" yet, but I think it deserves a mention:

I'll have to give it a few more listens (and more attentive ones at that).  It's definitely intriguing, probably at least a four star album for me.  Whether or not it's a masterpiece...well, I'll see about that, but I get the feeling that I didn't even begin to take in the full force of the album, hear all the intricacies, or understand the plot on the first listen.
 
On another note, one of my threads finally got past three pages.  Pretty cool, right? Cool

I had their eponymous debut, bought on the strength of Run, Run, Run, but they kind of disapeared from the UK record stores after that. I recall on seeing it much later that "Jumpin' the Gunne" has one of the most, erm, let's say, bizarre, covers I've ever seen. Shocked
 
When I was a teenage lad, I had the Run, Run, Run single. I quite liked it, so I bought it from a classmate for one guilder. But I fell instantly in love with the B-side, Take It Easy.
