But the best tracks are definitely amongst the things the band ever did.

Lol.
I still read Jules' sentence with another 'best' before 'things', which made it
'But the best tracks are definitely amongst the best things the band ever did,' which was amusing enough.
It was only the second time through I read it right.
Never a truer word was spoken.

Exceptional. Groundbreaking - and even now, listening to it, you get the feeling of hearing history being made.

This marmite or wine thing - sorry, but I've been biting my tongue...

If it's marmite it means that some people will like it and some will hate it. If it's wine, I suppose it's the same. It depends whether you like marmite, and whether you like wine, and what kind of wine it is.  **see spoiler

To me, it's Yellow Tail Shiraz (my favourite wine).

I was listening to it on the way home from my extended Cropredy week last night - and it sounds as fresh as he first time I heard it

Stephen, wish we could have met at Cropredy last week. We seem to agree on most things, incl highlights of Cropredy.
Trust me, this is unusual!😀

...and Yellow Tail Shiraz and flat caps??

I was geared up to going and meeting people, but then had a horrendous hour or two trying to revive a phone, get online and do some internet banking, so I had cash to pay for the charger they hired me so I could get online.. and when it was all fixed I just sat and cracked open a can, and the world drifted by...

"Sailors Life is my all time favourite track ever . Closely followed by "Battle of Evermore" . After that theres hundreds of top tracks but those two will probably never be usurped IMHO .

MY preference is the Swarbless version from Watching The Dark but it is one of my favorites in any guise, yes I can even tune out Ms. Tabor on the infamous live version.
