Load was alright - quite a few nice songs on it. Reload was ok, too - I simply love 'Fuel'.
St.Anger - crap album, period.
Death Magnetic/Beyond Magnetic - brilliant, especially 'The Unforgiven III' and 'All Nightmare Long". 'Hate Train' is excellent, too.

A great bunch of proper English eccentrics!

My dad's mentioned The Bonzo Dog Do-Dah Band to me before. Sounds like a circus act to me

The Bonzos are/were a wonderful joke/serious band from the 1960's onwards. They were true eccentrics, who played a mixture of music hall, trad jazz, psychedelic pop with surreal humour and avant-garde art music.

The core members of the group for most of the band's career were:

Vivian Stanshall (1943–1995): trumpet, lead vocals
Neil Innes (b. 1944): piano, guitar, lead vocals
Rodney "Rhino" Desborough Slater (b. 1944): saxophone
Roger Ruskin Spear (b. 1943): tenor sax and various contraptions
"Legs" Larry Smith (b. 1944): drums

The band's onstage line-up varied, sometimes on a weekly basis, and they also invited a number of guest musicians into the recording studio. Additional members of various duration include: Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell, Martin "Sam Spoons" Ash, "Happy" Wally Wilks, Tom Parkinson, Chris Jennings, Claude Abbo, Trevor Brown, Tom Hedge, Eric Idle, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Leon Williams, John Parry, Raymond Lewitt, Sydney "Big Sid" Nicholls, James "Jim Strobes" Chambers, Bob Kerr, Dave Clague, Joel Druckman, "Borneo" Fred Munt, Chalky Chalkey, Dennis Cowan, Aynsley Dunbar, Jim Capaldi, Anthony 'Bubs' White, Andy Roberts, Dave Richards, Pete Currie, Dick Parry, Hughie Flint and Glen Colson.

They are probably best known for these:

I have the £17 one preordered, but I'm not sure whether to cancel out and go for the £74 release instead. Decisions, decisions.

You don't need to but, for the extra money, you get another DVD, the album on vinyl, a 40 page booklet and (I think) a poster.

The most I've ever spent on an (new) album is £14
