I grew up abroad and the only music I had access to were my parents old ‘60s stuff, a bit of blues, reggae and motown. I loved it then and still do today. Whilst I don’t think its the be all of everything I generally prefer the closest a recording can get to the bands/artists live sound. I’ve lost track of the number of bands Ive seen live and been really disappointed with the album on its release or in many cases the second album after a successful debut that is (imo) ruined by over production and so polished it’s just sterile.

Alternatively it’s the quick production and low fi instruments and recording that that made early Motown so exciting.

i hope you are joking!

battle of the beanfield - levellers

I’ve lost count of the number of times i’ve tried to get into Radiohead or The Foo Fighters. I must be missing something but I just don’t get the appeal.

Pretty difficult to judge music from another era entirely. When the world was listening to Vera Lynn and Doris Day he must have been astonishing.

I would second that opinion. I’m not the seller but that’s a lot of bass for the cash. Yamaha BB’s and Sterling Ray 34’s can be found second hand for your budget as well which are great value for money. Edit: The only caveat being neck width. If a player has smaller hands a J width neck may be more suitable.

In my teens I really wanted a Stingray as I saw Simon Gallop live with The Cure a few times playing one. It wasn’t really the association with the player, Id just never seen a Stingray before and thought it looked and sounded amazing. I still do.

this is not a love song - P.i.L

a rainy night in soho - the pogues

I never really saw Nick Cave as a goth. Id put him closer to Tom Waits in terms of theatre and character driven prose. I like plenty of goth music, if taken with a heavy dose of irony as it’s all fairly ridiculous.
