Which of your NMA albums are you going to rescue ?

[Stoney]

Nice selection! the Icemen are pretty nice, Tom Warrior loves the Geiger versions!
I got offered and tried a 68 SG Juniour years ago and hated it to be honest. The one piece tail bar/wrap over brigde was awful.... Really weird skinny neck........ I so wanted to like it but didn't at all... There's a synergy in owning a guitar made the same year as you're born, but that wasn't the one for me.........

I had a butchers at Keyside Strike on YouTube. Quite good. Raw, powerful and aggressive. Reminded me of the Expoited, top punk band

Going back to the theme of the post ---

Thanks for the replies so far. Some interesting comments. Perhaps I should not have over egged the blazing house scenario. Maybe I should have gone more for a desert Island disc theme -- which album would you take with you if you could take only one?? - vinyl or disk..
 
For me, it is and always has been No Rest For The Wicked. When I first gave NMA a go, a chap called Barty lent me the first four LPs, and No Rest For The Wicked made an impression on me straight away. Some very strong lyrics picking up on the darker side of society of the time, a selfish consumer based society of the mid 1980s.
 
For the second half of 1989 I was on the dole. At that time, I used to play the album every day, and connected with the lyrics. Particularly - Frightened, Young Gifted and Skint, and Drag it Down.
 
Also, has my favourite NMA song, Better Than Them. Great tune, and great lyrics. I could relate to the characters in the song sitting in their corner of the pub being looked down on by the group of local clones, or residing students
 
No Rest strikes a cord with me also, being a life long insomniac, I am often "Turning over turning round" at 4 in the morning.
 
For me, a great album. Love it now as much as I did over 20 years ago. Strong tunes with deep lyrics. A product of the under class of Thatchers 1980s Britain

I suppose Juniors either do it for you or they don't.  Mine's only just a '66, so it has the small pickguard and the big neck.

I know what you're saying about a guitar of the same vintage as you - somewhere out there there's a 1979 Les Paul Custom in white with 70209*** as the serial number... and it will be mine!

[Stoney]

I really want one of the 68 "Les Paul" SG Customs...... Come on lotto!!!!!!!!! 

[Simon73]

uauh that is  a difficult one
let s say thunder and consolation because it was the first one i ever listen to
and.........oh........can t say........something more recent just to rmember how they are now..........carnival.........High..............TDIAGD...........one of the most recent ones so to have an old one and the incarnation of the band in the 90s or even later

[Barty]

I remember walking through town in 1989 with you and we spotted Ed busking. You wisely suggested I buy Thunder & Consolation again so he could sign it. So we dashed to Virgin, bought it and ran back to where he was....he was only too pleased to sign it and chat. Thanks for that - still got it and although we were both strapped for cash then, I'm glad you talked me into it  So maybe that's the one I'd save now  or at least the cover!

[Pazza]

Now the emphasis has changed to saving guitars it'd be the Indie Sound rosewood topped acoustic - along with, if I am forced to make a decision, Love of Hopeless Causes. It's the one I am going back to most often now

[Pazza]

..and actually given the blazing house scenario that sounds a reasonable shout to me!

[Simon73]

I will die with all of them

[invisigothh]

Thunder and consolation , and my ipod

at the moment, I would rescue High

at the moment, I would rescue High 

Why?

[Shush]

Last couple of months I have been having a bit of revival of High and playing it often. To me it is a very good quality and consistent album. When listening to some of the other NMA albums there maybe a song or two I will skip, or a song I know is on the way that I will start to look forward to, but not with High. I think all the tracks are a consistent quality from start to finish. At the moment, "One of the chosen" my favorite on it. I just love the drum work MD has crafted into the song.

That's why
