Jim, I was shocked when I discovered on reading up on them that the Go-Go's were anything BUT `America's Sweethearts' or `girls next door'! They were actually very naughty, debauchered and wicked things lol!
As for the B-52's, saw them a couple of years back when they played Melbourne....quite a disappointing experience. The girls were great and brought some serious energy and positivity, but dear old Fred made no effort whatsoever, appeared in a supremely bad mood and made it clear he didn't want to be there. Thanks for taking our money, though, Fred, happy to help out....
On the plus side, they played most of their killer debut album AND `Mesopotamia' - one of my favourites, and very underrated! |
The B-52's did a PBS special a few years ago and it wasn't bad---good choice---My choice for feel good album would be--"Feels Good to Me" ![Big smile Big smile](smileys/smiley4.gif) ---Bruford.

David Bowie - "Let's Dance" - went to a great party out in the rural area's of Poverty Bay, NZ in 1984. I remember we played that album solidly and everyone just loved it for the "partying" inducing atmosphere.

Tons, but I guess Sgt. Pepper, mainly as a knee jerk reaction.

Indeed, the Go Go's were def into their partying from what I've heard..... I remember distinctly in HS when the Mesopatamia tour had swung through town.....there were tons of kids wearing their very cool Mesopotamia tees the next and looking really tired..... Last time I saw Fred on TV he looked a little long in the tooth.....your show sounds exactly like Fish acted when I saw them....Marillion was great, but Fish was not happy to be there.

Oh, and a great instrumental album that always makes me feel good is Jeff Becks' Blow by Blow.

I saw SABB, TFTO, The Best of Bee Gees ... very nice. ![Approve Approve](smileys/smiley14.gif)
In my case it used to be Eno's Taking Tiger Mountain ... . Now ... I dunno. Silence? I don't think I have one such album. Maybe another one of Eno's? U2's October? Genesis' FGTR? An ambient album? Bee Gees' Cucumber Castle? Who knows. It would probably have to be an album I never get tired of, and I do not know one such album.

[QUOTE=Aussie-Byrd-Brother]Well, two huge guilty pleasures that I'm sure will NOT go down well with the Prog establishment lol!
The Go-Go's - Beauty and the Beat
/QUOTE]
Funny, I thought of this as soon as I saw the thread title ![Tongue Tongue](smileys/smiley17.gif) I remember buying this album at a record store at college back in 1981 and the clerk told me I was the first person in Helena, Montana to own a Go-Gos album. Not sure if that's true but for sure none of my friends liked it. I still listen to a lot of Go-Gos on my iPod while running. Billie Joe Armstrong's "Unforgiven" from their 2011 album is one of the best tunes ever to finish a run with. For me this one always brings a smile and some great memories. My folks were stodgy hard-core Baptists but I found this buried in my Dad's closet when I was a kid and it was awesome. I still have it!
