What albums to get next
Hi ya oldnick1971 I had a great time at new year and it was really nice to meet you. As for music I am looking for recomendations, It started out as what 10 albums would you recomend or could you not live with out.
On list of stuff to try next are the following all I need now is recomemdations on what album/s to get first.
Bauhaus
Joy Division
Cure
Mission

I think at Helen's you said you'd prefer to hear new bands in album order, so you can hear how they grow/develop, but a few of these I'd say the earlier stuff was better anyway. Saying that sometimes a best of/greatest hits is a good intro to a band.
Joy Division - best band that ever set foot on the planet. Unknown Pleasures is one of the best debut albums. Everything they did is excellent. I might be a bit biased here.
The Mission - 1st 3 albums (1st Chapter, God's Own Medicine and Children) are excellent and then they wane a little. Last album Aura is pretty damn good too.
Bauhaus - again I'm a little obsessive but I'd go for In The Flat Field (1st album). Also Love & Rockets, Tones On Tail, and Danny Ash and Peter Murphy solo stuff.
The Cure - consistently brilliant. Never ever listen to 17 Seconds, Faith and Pornography consecutively. Despite what Helen says the new album is top.
Sisters of Mercy - anything, but if you want the earlier stuff 1st, then the best ofs.
Curve - describe themselves as "filth pop" and are too good to be true. Doppelganger is a pretty good album (their 1st, I think)
VAST - highly recommended. Eponymous debut album is amazing.
Better stop before I get too carried away, but also Warrior Soul, Metallica, Led Zep, The Doors, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction. And Danzig (1st album - self-titled), Samhain and Misfits (2 phases - 1st with Glenn Danzig which is dark/brutal and the 2nd after he left which is kinda tongue in cheek and a lot more fun).
Sorry I got carried away - I do by music.
Is it ok to friend you? (Can friend be a verb?)
Enjoy everyone's recommendations.
