I may buy one sometime, got any recommendations?

So long as it aint the one with that 'Hey Ho Lets Go' or 'Batskreg Bop' or whatever lol.

By the way there is a fantastic song on the 'Brain Drain' album called 'Pet Semetary', dont know whether you've heard or not?

I wouldn't call myself a big fan. I used to like them a lot more in the past, The only time I ever really listen to them now is if I come across a bootleg of them.

Ironically Brain Drain is the only album of theirs I don't own.

Get a live album. Preferably 'It's Alive', that's how they should be heard.

Blitzkrieg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The phrase "blitzkrieg bop" is also repeated several times in the lyrics during the song.

Well It's only one Ive got! Cant beat a bit of irony, huh.
So, you aint a big fan but you got nearly all their albums??

Or did you just download their discography.

So how do you know its their worst if you dont have it?

As for the album you mentioned, Ive jotted it down and will check it out sometime for sure.

I was really looking for another good studio album to get.
Youd better give me a good recomendation as Ill only end up going out and buying another one of their 80s albums lol.
Just not the one with the 'Blatskreg Bop' song onit lol.

I own whole discographys of hundreds of bands that I like. I thought thats what being a music fan is all about, getting albums by bands you like. And just because I own everything by a band doesn't mean I rate all of those albums as highly as I might do other bands.

No I collected them on CD over the course of about 10 years

Because someone else made me a copy of it, when I lost the tape I didn't bother replacing it.

My favourite is End Of The Century, which is the one they recorded with Phil Spector but a lot of 'punk fans' hate it for being too soft.

Yeah totally man,I have discographys of bands that I havent even gotten round to listening to yet (mostly through download).

I aint saying theres anything wrong with it, just thought it was a bit odd you had all their albums but you werent much of a fan.
The way I see it sometimes is that you have to get it to hear it I suppose.

Cool, It's good to get the cds like, only I kinda getting a bit overloaded so i started downloading a few months ago. (still buy cds though- kind of addicted...)

Oryt cool well I paid about a fiver for it, I think after hearing 'Pet Semetary' on Planetrock.

I just checked out that album and I know one of the tracks (forgot it was them)- 'Baby I Love You', I used to have it on a compilation years ago man!
Cheers!

More like "Once you've heard someones criticism of AC/DC you've heard them all".

Sorry, that's my Ethan impersonation, I'm still working on it.

That's a terrible Ethan impersonation. I'd never defend AC/DC.

boo boo · 05-07-2009, 02:05 AM

It's an impersonation in that at least a third of your posts consists of taking a quote from someone and making a pun off of it.

I wasn't trying to do an impersonation of you, but I added that last bit in when I actually took the time to read what I said. And I thought "holy sh*t this is something Ethan would say".

Just take out AC/DC and replace them with Bright Eyes or Elliott Smith.
