Soundgarden : Badmotorfinger.
.
.
This album is so fucking badass it shifted me into a new dimension when I first heard it.
.
Kim Thayils screeching wah wah distortion twisting the songs into new shapes, and forcing your ears to come to him instead of just sitting there on your head.
.
Ben Shepherd with the doomiest bass dives dragging you down into the sludge, but galloping you back again when Jesus Christ Pose hits.
.
Matt Cameron, One of the best drummers I've ever heard. Full Stop.
.
And Chris Cornell melting your face with screams that go up and up and up and up.
.
LINK IN BIO : Slaves and Bulldozers. Turn it up and Bleed your heart out.

Pearl Jam : Ten.
.
The first hint of the Grunge tidal wave to come was hearing 'Alive' on my Walkman headphones in the library at college and it was an instant classic.
.
Pearl Jam's debut album Ten, was itself an instant classic, with no weak members of the band, no weak tracks on the album, and one of the most impersonated voices in Rock, Eddie Vedder, this band was something unique and powerful.
.
Special shout-out to Pearl Jam's first drummer on this album Dave Abbruzzese, one of my favourites in a band that has been blessed by top drummer after top drummer.
.
LINK IN BIO to 'Porch', live on MTV Unplugged. The defining performance of the band in their first era.

Guns N' Roses : Appetite For Destruction. . Best A

Guns N' Roses : Appetite For Destruction.
.
Best Albums continues with this absolute classic. Opening with Welcome to the jungle, The band let's you know right away where this is going and they don't hold back at any point, even on the 'slower' songs they still play with attitude and balls.
.
Rock and Metal at the time was drowning in hairspray lameness with either overhyped bands like Bon Jovi, or absolute mush like Warrant, and Poison clogging up the charts. Metallica s Black album was still years away from radio airplay.
.
Axl and co gave the scene a much needed shot of wild punky energy and chaos to pave the way for the metal renaissance of the 90's which in turn made Grunge a viable option for record labels.
.
Huge singles like Sweet Child and Paradise City, a ferocious front man, and a guitar legend named Slash power this album into the all time greats.

Dire Straits : Dire Straits. . . If we are gonna t

Dire Straits : Dire Straits.
.
.
If we are gonna talk about the best albums I've ever heard, we need to start here. Dire Straits self titled album from 1978.
.
Dire Straits is the first band that meant more to me than a one hit wonder or catchy something on the radio. The first band to move Into my head and never leave, demanding to be played over and over, for the lyrics to be read and memorised from the printed sheet that came with the LP.
.
While the band was massive all through the eighties, and smashed records with Brothers In Arms, this is the best example of the band as Mark envisioned it. Clean sound, excellent production and Mark Knopflers finger picking making the songs sound completely unique, and the whole album flows together from one song to the next.
.
Another factor that really makes this album super listenable, is the support provided by John Illsley on Bass and one of my Favourite drummers, Pick Withers. Pick doesn't try and outdo the other band members, but still shines through with efficiency and stylish playing and almost steals the show.
.
So in 2009 I moved to England, and began to find myself in places I had learned about from this album, and seen only through my mind's eye. Seeing shows in Wembley Stadium, and Wembley Arena both sites of key performances of the band were both moving experiences. Being able to walk the streets named in 'Wild West End', and learning that Forbidden Planet was also on Shaftesbury avenue, every time I visit is like being a part of the song.
.
Late one night I found myself on the number 19 bus, touring all the Monopoly streets of London trying to get home, and I have no idea if the route is the same as it was in 1978, but it doesn't matter. I could not ask for more than to connect again with this beloved album, and feel like I was a part of these things that I love.
.
I found by chance, that a plaque had been awarded to the tiny flat, that members of the band had lived in, and where they had performed their first concert outside on a flat bit of lawn. The bloke living there came out after this pic was taken, I don't think he knows how lucky he is.

While I try to melt this carbonite from the inside, why don't you talk amongst yourselves.

While you wait, how about a little music?. There will be some posts of the best albums I've ever heard, and I know you're all dying to hear some stories as we go.

From Episode I, to Episode IX. Dark Rey and my first ever Jar Jar Binks figure.
.
I briefly thought about buying his TPM figure when those toys were released, but hated his character so much I vowed never to own a JJB.
.
Never turned out to be 24 years, but he has had some fairly entertaining appearances since. Also this figure looks really well done. Ban lifted.

On the weekend I watched Thor One and Two.
.
I've had them for years but one thing after another delayed the viewing and here we are ten years, and an entire MCU late.
.
One was surprisingly good, with a story by JMS, directed by Sir Kenneth Branagh, and packed full of talent. Big surprise to see Darcy from WandaVision, who I've really enjoyed on that show so a nice bonus here.
.
Two, well. Quite a step down, but I guess it got a tough deal sandwiched between Iron Man 3 and Captain America the Winter Soldier. It feels like it was on a smaller budget even though it had twenty million more to play with. So many scenes out and about in London gave it a cheap Dr Who feel. So many scenes in a warehouse, stairwell, street, or that bloody carpark.
.
Watched back to back the difference between them is quite glaring but I enjoyed them both and given how good Thor 3 was, and his appearances in the other movies, I'm sure Helmsworth will be employed for as long as he can keep up that legendary body.

Last week, I saw the order 66 packs on @starwarsac

Last week, I saw the order 66 packs on @starwarsactionfigurelover page and was reminded of these little nuggets that have been in a box for about 12 years.
.
.
There's a couple on eBay right now priced £50 - £100.
.
.
@hasbro is directly responsible for the lack of supply, and the ridiculous pricing on the aftermarket for older figures that could be reissued but are not, year in year out.

Harry 'All guts no quit' Stamper.
.
A god damn American hero goddammit.
.
.
Watching Armageddon for the twelfth or fifteenth time, I lost count really.
.
50%hyperpatriotic, 50%terrible science ,200% Michael Bay where everything is exploding, on fire, on fire and exploding, and saved at the very last second by normal guys who were never trained to deal with this shiiiit.
.
In today's viewing, I discovered one of the heroes I had not really noticed before, he has so little screen time and I'm not even sure when he dies. Poor guy.
.
Also, this movie is so old there were still Twin Towers, and Saddam was still a potential source of terrorist shenanigans.
.
Also, quite a bit of racism. Everyone in France is a peasant farmer, even in the city, and everyone in Asia is from somewhere around the 1950's living in shacks. The one Russian seems to be drunk. America saves the world again-you bet your ass.
.
All that aside, I really really love this movie. Even Affleck is ok, and I usually can't be bothered with him.

I try not to get too involved in Wishlist Wednesday because I'll just get angry.

Buuuut, I could really go for a box set of these two Snoke attendants and why not throw in their Oculus device while we are at it.

All you can really see is their eyes, but I have wanted a figure since the first time I saw TLJ, and I guess #tvcwishlistwednesday is the place to talk about it.
