Well imo you should funk off Dark side of the Moon for Wish you were here with its 18 min of Shine on you Crazy Diamond

Plus as good as Dark side is it very cliché you will be wearing a t shirt of it hanging around goth bars in Camden in no time
Ha! Great call. (I already have the mug.
)This is more of a tribute to my Dad though. I grew up listening to 'Dark Side...' and the ticking clocks at the start invoke loads of fond memories of childhood.
Have had many a Balearic moment to Simon & Garfunkel's 'Parsley Sage Rosemary & Thyme' too.
Should I admit to that?
I think you can probably admit to liking anything as the balearic tag is your 'get out of jail' card

Thats fair enough mate. My Dad Played Neil Diamond and Johnny Cash on repeat and evey childhood memory i have is linked to them in some way or another so i like than loads more that i should probably admit

))) @ jizzThe above doesn't surprise me though (and I might get crucified for this sweeping statement)...but the block 3d fonts, gangsta posturing and disproportionate wealth as a success indicator is a true representation of what male dominated (mysogynist?) American hip hop stood for in the 90s (in most cases).
Surely the above album covers and the music behind them are inseparable?
* plus the rave equivalent of poorly designed space age botched jobs from the same era are ridiculously cool.

I guess, but I was meaning more.... actually it really doesn't matter. I was only really being daft with my comment about the mid-90s hip hop albums to be honest The thought of someone framing the likes of the above in arty 12" covers frames around their living room tickled me.
This thread should be about good artwork, and spunky music.

hiphop ate itself some time ago. Of course, there may still be some intellectual rappers still making their presence felt on gilles peterson with their 25 fervent disciples at plastic people but fundamentally there is nothing there now with the raw energy of the 80s. Time will tell whether the emerging 'beats' scene in London will offer anything new to the table, but it's all too niche and fragmented as a scene at the moment. Hiphop in the UK is in a pretty poor shape - although, wasn't it always so?
