    There's no owner's manual to prepare you for all the ways life can knock you around by the time you're 30. But damned if Bruce didn't come close with this one.

    Tough choice between the two. I think their legacy tends to get overlooked just a bit, which is a shame as they're still making fantastic music 40 years on and the older stuff still holds up real well.

    Tough choice, but if it's based on how often it's listened to by me, the winner hands down is Van Halen, followed by Queen's Jazz.

    Yes - of course, I can't really make such a choice. Modern Dance and the Datapanik 12" were what turned me on to them. But I enjoyed the shift in their sound and themes for Dub Housing. They became even more cinematic than on Modern Dance. And because Dance was so successful and jarring for that period, it would have been easy for them to follow that style for another album, so I liked the risk-taking and development of Housing. They kept my attention solidly for the first four albums.

    20 Years In A Montana Missile Silo from 2017 is peak Ubu, and you must get the Live At The Longhorn 1978 cd, it's a monster live set, and they are still a formidable live band. Lots of great cd's scattered throughout the catalog, even the "pop" era of Cloudland and The Tenement Year is a delightful listen.
    Wish they would release a standalone of the Live At Max's 1977 set that came with the first box.

    U.K. U.K. Wetton, Bruford, Holdsworth, Jobson. Progressive rock lives in 1978 big time.

    Yes, this version is the one. This album was a rumor for years and then finally being able to have it was like receiving an unexpected gift. Brilliant, beautiful, glowing decay.

    The Who's Who Are You and
    Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town are pretty much tied.
