Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang (managed to see them in NYC for Rock The Bells 2010 performing the whole album was a dream comes true) and the second best album for me would be Gang Starr - Moment of Truth

In my top 5 Hip Hop LPs for sure. Love that lo-fi, scuzzy sound! 👌🙌

Peace peace

Tribe Called Quest - Low-End Theory

De La Soul - 3 Feet High & Rising

Roni size - new forms
Massive attack - blue lines

finally someone said Blue Lines. It's odd because in a lot of ways musically I don't rate it highly, it's kind of clumsy in parts, some of the ideas are underdeveloped, some of it almost makes me cringe. But there was just something so special about that time and the sound felt so new and yet familiar. Even though their later stuff is "better" Blue Lines has such a permananet special place in my heart.

Prodigy - Music For Jilted Generation
Leftfield - Leftism

Could list plenty but these 2 are special 😎🥳🤯👽

Leftism is immense. It's been a while, I'm gonna have to fish it out the old collection.

Got few hours in car tomorrow think I'm gonna blast it myself been a good while

Time well spent. As for The Prodigy, I saw them at Glasto in '95. They were flying high off the back of Music for the Jilted Generation. I vividly remember Keith (RIP) rolling onto the stage in a giant hamster ball. They were awesome. So much energy.

I last saw them around 2008 at Manchester arena invaders must die tour. Awesome gig. 😛

dark side by pink floyd and blonde by frank ocean. i absolutely rinse both year after year :)

Full albums I've actually listened to over and over are "The Wall" & "Graceland"

Really love listening to Graceland on a fresh sativa high)

ok computer

Nirvana - Unplugged in New York

Nas and Damien Marley - Distant Relatives

Damien Marley first album 🔥

Tom Waits "Blue Valentine", Ry Cooder "Bop Till You Drop" - honourable mention to Joni Mitchell "Blue", Janis Joplin "Pearl", David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name", and a gazillion others...

Some really nice choices there but I'm afraid that I can't see past Raindogs.
Cheers G

Fantastic LP.

The best Waits' in a catalogue where the bar is astonishingly high.

I know I’m cheating but I got
Outkast- Aquemini (and stankonia)
Fugees - The Score
Jay Z - The Blueprint
Kanye - MBDTF
Nas- Illmatic

Some absolute works of art here.

What's going on- Marvin Gaye..almost goes as a mix album the way the songs blend into one another. So relevant to today too.

Another I've played to death over the years is Joni Mitchell- Blue. Just a sublimely chilled album.
Many more, but these two I think I have probably played the most in my lifetime so far

Soundgarden - Superunknown
Beastie Boys - ill Communication

1. Aphex Twin - selected ambient works
2. TLC - Crazy, sexy, cool

Dark Side of the Moon has got to be my first pick. Millionaires by James is great when you've got some sativa running through your system.

The b-side of the sit down single is Live at the Manchester Gmex. On headphones is still the best crowd singing of a song to date.

The Baby Huey story The living legend and Radiohead The bends.

The Bends is one of the finest albums ever made in my opinion.

Great great album

Baby Huey good shout crate diggers classic love it

The doors,LA woman
The complete stone roses
And many many more.

Since my favourite 2 have already been picked by loads of people, I'll go for...
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Portishead - Dummy

System of a down - toxicity

The Streets - Original pirate material

Primal Scream - Screamadelica
Massive Attack- Blue Lines

Ohhh tough probably Floyd dark side of the moon and the doors soft parade

+1 for dark side of the moon, and wish you were here.

Kaleo - A/B
Audioslave - audioslave
Dre - 2001
Linden park - meteora

Yes Dre 2001 epic at the time

Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Bowie - Low

Both as fresh today as ever

I can safely say that Appetite for Destruction is the album I've listened to the most. Carousel by Subcircus has had well over 20 years love from me as well

Future sound of London - Lifeforms
Funkadelic - Maggot brain

Aphex Twin - Ambient Works 85-92

DJ Shadow - The Private Press

Soundtracks to a digital existence

#OneLife #WhoAreYou 💯❤️

If you don’t know…wake up! 💯❤️

i didn't know bjork was originally an anime character

1st. Chase & Status - More than a lot (2008)
2nd. Nipsey Hussle - Victory Lap (2018)

The jam All mod cons
Nwa straight outta compton

Dark Side of the Moon, best album ever, bar none. 50 years old this year, same as me!
950 weeks on Billboard 200 chart! 750 of them consecutive!!
Lee 'Scratch" Perry - Open the Gate. Sadly deleted and expensive to buy, but can be downloaded online. 2 CDs of heavyweight 12". Jimmy Cliff got me listening to reggae, this album burnt it into my soul.

Up Cornwall Emmets out!! ;)

Lol, Emmet ground zero here! Happy campers can feck orf!

Easy Star All Stars - Dub Side of the Moon.
L'Entourloop - Chickens In Your Town.

Never heard Dub Side of the Moon until today- bloody great👍- so big thanks for the heads up!!!

Its bloody awesome 👌

Once discovered, it's a beautiful thing. Enjoy!

Dub Side is great, but the Radiodread is awful!

I completely agree. They massacred it.

Wow!!!! Just WOW!
Dubside of the moon 🌙
Amazing..... how this has escaped me is beyond me 🤷‍♂️ I love darkside that much I have the prism tattood on my chest

There are loads of full albums I’ll listen to…naming just two, well the two most recent ones that spring to mind for me Acid Bath-when the kite string pops and Oasis - definitely maybe not a bad track on either one.

I think 2001 is the last time I listened to an album :)

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
The Roots - Undun

Muse - Absolution( regardless if you like the band the story of the end of the world from start to end is amazing!)

Nirvana - Unplugged in New York

This is tough but going on repeats alone I reckon these pip it,

Riding with the king - Clapton and BB King
We're new here - Jamie xx and Gil Scott-Heron

Rust in peace by Megadeth and Obzen by Meshuggah.

I second Rust in Peace, esp. Hangar 18 & Lucretia - Marty Friedman's finest hour

I absolutely love tornado of souls. One of the greatest guitar solos of all time

2 is incredibly difficult, and I can't be the only one with eclectic tastes and a butterfly mind where these will all change regularly anyway. So I'll go with:

Ash - 1977

and

Kent - Hagnesta Hill (available in English and Swedish, so surely I get to choose both?)

"The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd: Released in 1973, this album is considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time. It features a conceptually unified theme and explores various philosophical and existential topics. Tracks like "Money," "Time," and "Us and Them" are widely loved.

"Thriller" by Michael Jackson: Released in 1982, "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time and a cultural phenomenon. It revolutionized pop music, blending various genres and delivering iconic hits such as "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and the title track "Thriller."

Rumours…Fleetwood Mac
Transformer….Lou Reed

Script of the Bridge by The Chameleons. Some friends told me they would bury the album with me, I'd go to sleep listening to it.
Scary Monsters by Bowie, time of life thing for me 'Teenage Wildlife'.

Mrdeeds36, yes it is, blinding track, good to hear from another fan. 'Up the down escalator' is my anthem for a crazy world today.

Light up, smile and wave.

You nailed it with the lyric mate.
They were a good band live, too.

I agree with you.

'The storm comes, or is it just another shower'

Hi Mate, Got 'Script of the bridge' playing again this weekend. The album seems more poignant than ever.
Light up and have a good weekend.

Hi Mr, Really liked that album, how did I miss that? Do you like 'sad lovers and giants' and 'and also the trees' ?

Happy Birthday mate.
I will be listening to that recommendation later today.
Smoking 'red apple' Leb, 'apple tart' Maroc hashish and just got some 'Sunset Sherbet' and 'Billy Kimber' bud, all amazing.
Happy birthday. Crispy

dEUS The Ideal Crash and Pretty Hate Machine NIN. Never tire of those two... There are many more but these two popped out my cheesebox first.

My picks:
The Velvet Underground & Nico - just a classic album. Spaceman 3 "The Perfect Prescription" with an honorable mention for Ode to Street Hassle

Tony Rice - Guitar
FFAF - Hours

Probably Drake - Views and lil durk - 7220. Them albums on repeat with a hash spliff = a mood

Dre 2001 and Fleetwood Mac Rumours.

Fleetwood Mac especially. Playing that album on a good car stereo on a nice road in the summer. Great times....👌🎶

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Hissing of Summer Lawns
Slanted and Enchanted

Hard to pick just 2, and I see a nearly all male list below...so:

Baduizm - Erykah Badu

Hounds of Love - Kate Bush

Midtown 120 Blues - DJ Sprinkles (couldn't leave this utter classic out!)

teens of denial - car seat headrest

brighten the corners - pavement

Bruce Dickinson - The Chemical Wedding
&
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

Black Love by Afghan Whigs
Good Luck by Debby Friday

Storm of the light's bane - Dissection

Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia - Dimmu borgir

Just 2 …thats tricky!!

Some have already mentioned primal scream screamadilca. I played underworld dubnobasswithmyheadman a lot as well, but I think I will actually plump for depeche mode violator and u2 Joshua tree, 2 albums that got played a lot and got me through life…

Eminem - MMLP

Redman - Muddy Waters

Bit random but....
E99 eternal - bone thugs
Favourite worst nightmare - arctic monkeys
Not sure they my face of all time but certainly remember listening on repeat to both of these

There are many, but you have to be realistic with cut off times and occasionally lenient with the pressure on vendors. The ‘need for speed’ causes more disputes on here than virtually any other issue.

The cardinal sin is when you pay for NDD etc and it doesn’t get sent that way. But most vendor’s seriously try to get that order out in line with their service promise.

Great NDD providers in my experience include The Gentleman Dealers, Dr Greenthumb, Dr Terpy and Canadian Imports (but check latest posting days)..

Hi Pollypuff

Spot on again my friend :-)

There is no way a seller can guarantee 100% once the parcel is in the system, many things can happen which are outside of the seller's control.

I see SD more as a way for the seller to see what happened with a parcel if it goes missing. Easier to agree on a refund if the seller can see you didn't get it (so a must for big orders).

As it stands I just received an order today which I ordered SD on Wed last week - posted on Thu according to seller.

I assumed that the Coronation had been wreaking havoc with RM services but looking at the enveloppes they used 1st class not SD.

I've just dropped them a message according to the LB etiquette. Probably an oversight on their behalf.

I remember all too well how I used to get my wares - and what I used to go through - before discovering LB.

As long as it arrives - and the quality and quantity match the order - I'm not fussed.

Cheers

This exactly. If I paid for a NDD service and did not receive it, I would send a note to the vendor and see if they could make it right somehow, if it was that serious to get NDD.

But I also remember back some time ago (lol), when I had to go to the gas station pay phone, page my dude, hope that he calls back quickly, and then wait. Sometimes he’d come in 20 min, sometimes 3-4 hours. And even as of present day, prior to LB, dealing with bs about meeting here or there or where or when… So I have a fairly high pain tolerance for waiting, especially given how incredible it is that finally a place like this exists. But to give the op his due, I would have something to say to the vendor if I paid for something and didn’t get it. But let them make it right for you.

I totally agree. Some Biggas would react less angrily if they got a dog turd in their package than they do to NDD not arriving NDD! 😂

I know this is controversial and beside the point but I tend to order long before I run out so that does tend to help with the stress.

But I’m still the same as every other Bigga at the end of the day…checking for the post 15 times, grilling the Postie like it’s his fault and total disbelief that my fucking package hasn’t arrived the day after I ordered it!! 😖💥😖

But then it all comes good eventually and the world is back on its axis! 😶‍🌫️

I Hear You !

Hi Gortport

Totally agree - this place is like heaven :-)

I know they'll make it right, they're pros and have top ratings, my number one vendor.

Cheers

Hi Biggas

As it turned out the seller did make it right and then some.

In fact I was not upset about the SD not being SD but one of the order items was missing which was my main reason for messaging them.

They resent it with SD and added some freebie edibles :-)

Big massive hats off to DIUK for sorting it out with class, talk about customer service.

Goes a long way to prove that comms is what you need when things don't go as planned. That and sticking to top vendors.

Cheers

With you all the way Dukey!…the only orders I’ve had not ever arrive were sent (or not sent, being the point) by RM first class.
Tracking helps us all. I don’t need the numbers I just need the seller to check it when it’s late.
But you need to get what you pay for and where sellers offer premium postage that’s what you should get…👍👍

Thanks pollypuff

And I always make sure I have something squirelled away for the rainy days too ;-)

When I became unable to purchase BCs last Autumn I had a big enough stash to see me through Winter.

Cheers

dr green thumb receives my seal of approval for sending ndd and providing tracking no issue!

Well, dr green thumb couldn't manage it either and the tracking # they provided doesn't work. Gonna hold off judgement til I know more but I guess the search continues!

Agreed Dude !

Been here since Jan. 25 or so orders in and I've not had a single fail to land. The longest wait I had was 4 days which was the only first class item of the lot. The rest were NDD/T24 and took no more than two days. Of the top off my head (and I sincerely apologise to any vendor I miss off) these ones I have ordered more than once from and they've arrived as advertised:

Dr Green Thumb
Pontiff of Piff
Pistach
Yourmumshouse
The Green Team
Gassed

There's a fair few I have had one order from and again was as advertised (Riley packs, Gen Hub 2.0, Green Cat all had some lovely product). Keen to see how the post plays out though as there's still some vendors I feel obligated to try out soon.

Pistach has been utterly terrible for me. Said they'd send NDD, and didn't even send it til i got in touch with them to ask for tracking because it hadn't arrived. Now being super unresponsive so i don't even know when to expect it.

That's a shame. I've had three orders all drop next day recently. Hope you get sorted anyway.

ULC have always been top drawer for NDD in my experience. Even ordering at 11am delivered next day.

I'm currently waiting on ndd from pistach asked for Tn too

Pistach has been releasing some really good flower at knock out prices lately, they're probably getting overwhelmed with orders. I believe they're also on TG, so busy vendor. Honestly, their stuff is amazing, but sometimes pay a little extra with a vendor you've used before. Have to say though, I've ordered from Pistach and never had an issue, think you're just in the 1% bud :(

I wouldn't mind if they didn't give me an attitude about their mistake and then go no-contact so i have no clue even if my order has been correctly shipped yet.

what is TG?

A shit place

Thanks for the shout out my friend 😎❤️

Eddys hash bar, have ordered from him twice. Both times came next day. Can’t praise him enough, great coms too

Only issue is no flower and no specific NDD option that I can see! Thank you tho :)

Can't look beyond Canadian Imports here...Super stealth and free NDD

GenHub2.0 & Rileys Packs always arrives on NDD for me, but so does UrbanLeafCo on 1st class & its free!!??

We always got you Tallman mate 💯❤️

Dr Green Thumb, RealD and Urban Leaf Co, order from all 3 always get it the next day no issue.

We absolutely can my friend get an order into us before 12 we can get it out that day for ndd..
In saying this sometime orders take a while to come through so we suggest making the order the evening before or in the morning.

Much Love

d i

I always order NDD with plenty of time to spare for this reason, usually before midnight the night before.

Perfect then ;)

Our packs are shipped as per our manifesto. If you order NDD before cut off time it will be shipped accordingly.

Shocked to see how many people are not getting their items sent on time.

The one time we missed delivery, all buyers were informed and upgraded to saturday delivery to ensure they receive ASAP.

I send everything 1st Class for free, which usually takes a couple of days. Buyers can opt for Special Signed Delivery, but will have to pay for it. That said, I just recommend free 1st Class.

Honestly, never had an issue with any vendors here. However, special mention has to go to Dr Terpy, without fail, their Free 1st Class RM always arrived next day, and the quality has always been out of this world.

Flawless NDD from The Gentleman Dealers. 25+ buys

Been using these guys for years, never had any issues.

Some NDD seem to land quicker than others and I've had tracked parcels checked etc wether that's due to location/distance time of post I don't know or genral delays some just always seem to drop an extra day or two after

However from experience dr green thumb has pulled me out the shit a few times aha always been one day cant fault them. Eddys hash bar another and also gassed have been no more than two days

Another tip check the consistency of reviews and days taken pal always gives a good indication

I have bad luck with Specials.

The Gentleman Dealers and then Canadian Imports. The odd time it's been longer than ndd it's been because of my stupid rural location and royal mail snafus

Check my reviews. Averaging 1 day for delivery. I always post NDD, just meet the cut off time of 1pm and you’ll have your parcel the next day :) this isn’t always the case as I don’t have control over postal companies but it is certainly the case for most customers
