Re: Retro's Rockers
Way to go Retro. Your framing my teenage years with Eurasure and Joy Division/ New Order. So now I'm thinking that the following will be coming up: Pet Shop Boys, U2 (going to see them next May), Bob Marley and the Wailers should be there as well. I think I'm close on some of them.... or maybe not.
But if this neutral feeling that has arisen is conditioned by the body which is impermanent, compounded and dependently arisen, how could such a neutral feeling be permanent? - SN 36.7

Keep 'em coming, Retro - I've been waiting, like, kalpas to see what will turn up in your top few.

Re: Retro's Rockers
Greetings,
Well, there have been rather obscure entries in the Retro Rockers Top 100 so I guess it was no surprise to see another come in at #3. Spray are magnificent though - it astounds me that they're not better known than they are.
Anyway, as for the countdown.... what I will tell you is that both remaining entries have had number 1 albums in the UK chart.
I wonder if that helps narrow it down at all...
Metta,
Retro.

Donovan is a good choice, but I am now wondering if you have a thing for Sue Lyon.retrofuturist wrote:

Here is one of Donovan's bests:

This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond. -- SN I, 38.

Re: Retro's Rockers
Great selection Tilt... a great example of Donovan's musical wizardry.
And why he's obviously far more talented than Bob Dylan.

Just that! *smile*
...We Buddhists must find the courage to leave our temples and enter the temples of human experience, temples that are filled with suffering. If we listen to Buddha, Christ, or Gandhi, we can do nothing else. The refugee camps, the prisons, the ghettos, and the battlefields will become our temples. We have so much work to do. ... Peace is Possible! Step by Step. - Samtach Preah Maha Ghosananda "Step by Step" http://www.ghosananda.org/bio_book.html
BUT! it is important to become a real Buddhist first. Like Punna did: Punna Sutta Nate sante baram sokham _()_
