Live 1974 - Harmonia

Advantages: The start of Modern Green Day
Disadvantages: Couple of fillers

..., that is unless your in a room full of people with the song on headphones !! Harmonia is in there again, but not too much. It's not a sound i like too much !! The album slows down to an acoustic finish. Billie joe's vocals are excellent and it's a very thoughtful number. As a bonus for the old SKOOL fans, 86 (live) is on their just to remind you of what Green Day where all about before this album. Overall a great mix of tracks with great drums/guitars and especially vocals. I think Green Day recorded this album knowing that some fans wouldn't like it. I think they said ******** to it and did it anyway because they knew what they were doing was a natural progression for them as they grew up, and it worked.... Read review

...The reggae album to top all other reggae albums, it is true to say that Exodus by Bob Marley and The Wailers was the record that truly broke reggae onto the world stage when it came into the light of day during the punk rock surge of 1977. No one disliked reggae except the most right wing of nutters and punks loved the rebel music. Bob Marley had already leapt into the spotlight in 1975 with the Live album and its accompanying No Woman No Cry epic single. Eric Clapton's I Shot The Sheriff smash in 1974 paved the way, but it was Exodus that captured the mainstream audience and was taken to that audience's heart. It was atour de force, still hard enough for the real dubsters (just about) but soft enough to make the Mums happy. Exodus the single was the highlight of the set, but it was run a close second by Jamming, Waiting In Vain... Read review
