Rolling Stone's 243rd greatest album of all time
Superb hard rock/blues album. Whether or not they were the first heavy metal band is irrelevant, the songs here are fantastic. Includes the self-titled song, the brilliant NIB and my favourite Sabbath song - Warning - as close to a heavy version of The Beach Boys' God Only Knows as we're likely to see.

Rolling Stone's 462nd greatest album of all time
Brilliant album that I haven't listened to in years. So many massive songs on here, from the well-known The One I Love and The End of the World... to the superb Finest Worksong and Exhuming McCarthy (which lets face it is a demo version of Stand). There are no poor songs on this album.

Excellent acting
Brilliant soundtrack
Iconic 80s coming of age film
I've loved this film since I can remember - Broderick is perfect in it, and it's spawned so many pop culture references as a result I can't even count. Funny, stylish, and cool. When you're binging John Hughes films, finish strong with this one.

There are some great cameos in the film as well and not only people, there are object and music cameos that had the cinema audience laughing out loud during the screening, brilliant. It’s so nice to see everyone getting back to the point of enjoying a great night out with others, especially after everything that has been going on.

I'm calling it another successful day with 3k written! And I managed to use a brilliant word too. I've got loads of them so it felt good to use one! Terrwyn is a scribe after all. He should know plenty of weird and wonderful words. Let's see if I can use any more! đź’™

"It's really weird: I kind of had a bit of a problem with The Teardrop Explodes. I really didn't like them as a group, and it's very strange because our recording desk in Cardiff… I think Kilimanjaro was recorded on it. But as soon as Julian Cope left Teardrop Explodes I just completely turned onto him, and especially this record, because it's brilliant. There's some benchmark songs on here, which are hard for anybody to top. There's one called 'Bill Drummond Said' which is just fucking brilliant, and there's a song called 'Reynard The Fox', which is just… he does such a brilliant job of having a narrative of why he disagrees with something but pitching it in such a beautiful way. And there's 'The Bloody Assizes'; Julian Cope, now, has this afterlife of being this writer who seems to mix the high-rise block of ideas in his head with reality. It's really amazing. And he's become some sort of historian about myth and Krautrock, and I loved one of his quotes when he did an interview for this book: "I only look like this because I feel like such a cunt when I'm crying inside all the time." This record shows why he's such a brilliant solo artist. It's got a lovely, bucolic flintiness to it. There's something about it; you realise he's detached himself from his previous life and The Teardrop Explodes, and he's just out there in the woods doing something. And you cannot like a record which has a cover of the artist's… you know. Naked inside a big turtle shell on the cover. I remember it got really mixed reviews, but I think a lot of people do consider it a classic. I do; he's done other good stuff, but it's his best record."
