Yeah I'm behind on my assignments. The wife is away for a few days so I'll have some time to write up something on the Stranglers.

I really can't disagree with Marky's first four, but I'm a fan of the under-appreciated final album, Naked, so …

No love for French Revolution guillotine recipients? You're so anglo-centric.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Talking Heads is one of those bands that when I hear I really like them but have never really listened to them or their albums. Don't know why I guess I was into other bands at the time?

I'll stop there. I really like Talking Heads but it's hard to compile a top 5 albums due to a small catalog plus Stop Making Sense and The Name of This Band is Talking Heads are both exceptional - those two are my favorite TH albums.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
There's something fascinatingly ghoulish about "scientists" being present at guillotine executions looking for evidence of continued or last-second consciousness in the severed heads.

Concurred. It's that rare occasion where live albums should maybe be allowed as they aren't just your average live albums. SMS especially is their crowning moment.gkbill wrote: ↑17 May 2018, 6:25pmHello,

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Well, it was invented to a more humane form of capital punishment, and strictly speaking it is the quickest form of execution. Which isn't to say I endorse it, but of the many nasty ways human beings have devised to execute criminals, it's the least painful or likely to fuck up as any other.101Walterton wrote: ↑17 May 2018, 7:12pmNot as ghoulish as the fact that they still used the guillotine as recently as 1977!!!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑17 May 2018, 6:31pmThere's something fascinatingly ghoulish about "scientists" being present at guillotine executions looking for evidence of continued or last-second consciousness in the severed heads.
