Lee Fields and the Expressions "It Rains Love"
Michael Kiwanuka
Stevie Wonder "Talking Book"
Bob Seger System (Ever since I heard Tarantino use Ramblin' Gamblin' Man in "...Hollywood", I'm reminded I never had a copy of that record which was BIG on local CKLW-AM radio in the late 60's here...right between the Brit Invasion and Motown)

Got that Seger's record since many years ago, nice psychedelic/blue-eyed soul effort. Not the best in the canon (that award should go to the first Sons of Champlin album or/and Doug Sahm & co's "Honkey Blues" LP.), but still great music.

Good choices, I used to listen to Hüsker Dü a lot in the 80s and own the first Grant Hart solo LP. Of course, the Undertones are a GREAT band and "Arthur", while not "Something Else" or "The Village Green..." is a wonderful record.

The only Husker record I own is "Candy Apple Grey", but I have 2 early Mould solo LP's ... I was more of a "Replacements" fan... Still looking for a good copy of "Village Green..." "Arthur" has it's moments.

I recently got rid of a lot of replacements albums, I guess tastes change...although I've been having a massive clear out and only keeping my favourite records...still have around 500...and now plenty of room to fill.

I also recently purchased village green after seeing a documentary on it a couple of years ago, but have to say now I've played it I don't really like it...strange.

In fact the Replacements were one of my favourite 80s bands, own almost everything they recorded in their heyday, including their fab mini-LP "Boink!!". Hüsker Dü I discovered later (precisely through "Candy Apple Grey") and though I love many of their songs, Paul Westerberg and co. are still closer to my heart.

It's an album that definitely grows on you . Grazing in the Grass has good video to it also.
