hmmmm. That would've thrown me right off. Who are they? It looks like the Angels but thought htey were a three-piece.

The Chordettes, who recorded the best known version of Born To Be With You (the title track on Dion's album).

demonrail666 07.17.2007 07:30 PM

Ah, so you live and learn. Nice one.

As I thinkI said in another thread, Dion's 'Runaround Sue' is one of the greatest records known to man.

I don't feel qualified to pick the best album ever. But these people do! Great answers, huh. http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question...5192737AAbKKvU

No argument here. He's done a lot of mediocre stuff in his career, but every now and then, he does something spectacular.

His album from last year can be filed with the mediocre.

There isn't a single greatest album at all. There are loads of them that are great. This 'greatest this', 'classic that' is tedious lifestyle magazine fodder.

Pookie 07.18.2007 03:36 AM

Yes there is. I've just told you what it is.

therealglenstyler 07.18.2007 03:49 AM

sounds intriguing, might have to take a punt on this but I have to say if it turns out to not be the greatest album in the world ever then there'll be trouble.

sarramkrop 07.18.2007 03:51 AM

Oh, ok, there is one.

sonicl 07.18.2007 03:53 AM

Actually, this is the greatest album ever made:

 


If you don't beleive me, build a time machine, go back 30 years, and ask the 10-year old me, and he'll explain why.

Pookie 07.18.2007 04:03 AM

I was a huge Showaddywaddy fan.

I remember seeing them play Under The Moon of Love on Swap Shop in 1976. A year after the best album ever was released, which is(for those who can't be bothered to read the whole thread):

Whichever you find first.

The mighty 'Waddy are still going strong. Should I ever have a civil partnership thingy, I'm going to demand that they appear and sing lots a accapella stuff to me and the hubby-wife.

The band are due to record a brand new rock 'n' roll "concept album" in the autumn, ready for release in the Spring of 2008.

demonrail666 07.18.2007 11:09 AM

The Waddy were great, as were the mighty Darts. Then old Shakin' 'Shakey' Stevens went and screwed the whole 70s retro RnR thingy up by appealing to the mums. Which was a bit of a crappy thing to do, really.
