The Official Music Draft: Appetite for Draftstruction!

[Roobs321]

Just had a look through my all-time albums lists, and Blood on the Tracks was the only genuine comeback album in there.

I've decided to go with;

PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

Following her critical and commercial success in 2000 with Stories of the City, Stories of the Sea, PJ released 2 middling albums. 11 years later, she returned to form with a somewhat concept album that won her a 2nd mercury prize, and rated towards #1 in many 2011 year-end lists.

Not her best exactly, but a refreshing release, and a great comeback album.

1.​

"Let England Shake"​

​

2.​

"The Last Living Rose"​

​

3.​

"The Glorious Land"​

​

4.​

"The Words That Maketh Murder"​

​

5.​

"All and Everyone"​

​

6.​

"On Battleship Hill"​

​

7.​

"England"​

​

8.​

"In the Dark Places"​

​

9.​

"Bitter Branches"​

​

10.​

"Hanging in the Wire"​

​

11.​

"Written on the Forehead"​

​

12.​

"The Colour of the Earth"​

Bolded songs are the most memorable tracks.

Hmmm don't reckon Bon Jovi qualifies as Glam Rock.

Google Glam Rock Bon Jovi

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

This category is not my strong point, so it took my ages to find something that I've listened to...

Anyways, News of the World by Queen is my selection!

Marklar_33, you're up!

JP Sauce up!

 

[JP Sauce]

First of all let me just say: ugh, glam rock. (With a couple of exceptions)

Also I don't think Bon Jovi are glam rock are they? I wasn't going to pick them but they don't really fit in my opinion.

 

[alfy!]

2 Bon Jovi albums in the top 4? Hey I'm happy for them to be picked, didn't see them being top 5 at all

Couldn't agree more.

 

[JP Sauce]

It's not letting me post my selection, keep getting service error messages.

Perhaps it's too awesome?

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

Couldn't agree more.

Still researching?

Still researching?

I chose my artist for this one in about 0.3 seconds. Just had to decide on the album.

 

[JP Sauce]

Anyway, when I think of glam rock there's one man that stands high above everyone else. So now the only the problem is which of his three brilliant glam rock albums to choose...

I would've been very happy with the albums released either side of this one, but in the end I can't overlook:

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

1. Five Years
2. Soul Love
3. Moonage Daydream
4. Starman
5. It Ain't Easy
6. Lady Stardust
7. Star
8. Hang On to Yourself
9. Ziggy Stardust
10. Suffragette City
11. Rock 'n' Roll Suicide

One of the greatest and most influential albums of all time. Bowie's amazing transformation from folk and psychedelia to full-blown glam rock saw him become the Ziggy character on stage and in film, with died hair and crazy outfits and antics. But anyway let's get to the music. So many iconic songs here.

BigFooty is being s**t and not letting me post Youtubes, so instead I urge you to go and listen to this album right now!

Do it!
