BigFooty Top 50 Favourite Albums - The Final Countdown!

[Dagless]

Ha! I must have skimmed your post - I didn't see it! DCD are the best ******* band ever! Saw them live at the Opera House a couple of months ago. I still have no words for it.

Really like your list! Some nice selections there. Good diversity too.

Yep, saw them in Sydney as well! Anastasis isn't anywhere near their early stuff, but they're one band I never thought I would ever see like. They disbanded originally the year I was born, so to see them was out of this world...

I've been obsessed with them since I first heard them back in the mid '80's. Like you, I never thought I'd ever see them live. It was surreal.

I really like Anastasis, but yeah, it's certainly not as good as their earlier stuff, but then again, nothing is!

I'll accept it but only because I am not finished tallying it all up just yet. Feel like I have counted one too many submissions, trying to weed out exactly what is tiring.

I will go back on my word and open voting until Queens Birthday because I cannot predict how much time I will get with my computer over the weekend, so the countdown probably won't happen until Tuesday anyway.

Same with You Am I's Hi Fi Way, it was a landmark album of the 90s so I'm surprised it hasn't featured in more people's lists.

There's not a bad song on Hi Fi Way.
