Bought that when it came out. Absolute masterpiece from a true pioneer.

I’m feeling generous, so here’s Frank’s Wild Years as well. Good job my wife never hears this, not that she’d be able to understand it anyway.

Definitely my artist of the moment , Scouser Michael Head here with a haunting track about heroin addiction.

Ozzy Osbourne has retired from touring, which should probably come as a shock to no-one. I thought his album last year was pretty good but I do wonder whether that will be another swansong.

Given how little regard he had for his overall health, it’s a miracle that he’s still around, recording and planning tours. It will be a sad day when these musical greats retire or pass on, even though Ozzy in particular isn’t the kind of personality that I look up to.

What about the M602 and M62?
One can still listen to his latest album, Patient Number 9, which is excellent.

Only recently heard of sister Rosetta on Twitter. Just seeing her in that coat with a guitar is somewhat mindblowing, just not what i picture a musician looking like. I need to listen to more of her stuff.

Watched the first 2 seasons of ‘Treme’
Really opened my ears to a genre of music I never thought I’d take to.
Outstanding music to be heard in that TV series

Yeah no surprise the great Ozzy is done but what a survivor.
Master of Reality was THE defining heavy album. Children of the Grave and Into the void were next level metal for the time.
The irony is Dio then took Sabbath up a notch with Heaven and Hell.

What kind of music ?
Jazz - I think
At this point it’s not even a guilty pleasure anymore, but more borderline obsessive…
ITS ME!
HI!
I’M THE PROBLEM ITS MEEEEEEE
I remember getting that second hand from Skeleton records in Birkenhead. I was looking for something else but the guy who worked there said I might like it if I was into the heavy stuff.
I put it on at home and the opening riff of Sweet Leaf nearly took my head off. Brilliant stuff.

One of those albums that make me think what it would have looked like to me had I been around when it was released. You play a song and there’s a crushing new riff just around the corner and you still haven’t recovered from the previous one.
I can’t comprehend how Black Sabbath and Judas Priest took blues and turned it inside out and created music that will be timeless and likely as influential in the future as it is now. I listen to both of them a lot, especially the Priest, and I’m always amazed by the heaviness of their sound, especially considering the date of the recordings and production values of that era.
