That was interesting how you mentioned if Bad News actually came before Spinal Tap. I love Rick and co. so I'm gonna check them out now! I have Neil's Heavy Concept Album on vinyl and the Living Doll 7". That's a really cool numbered Siamese collectable you have there :)

@liznaumann thanks :) yeah Bad News was aired before Spinal Tap, but think Spinal Tap were formed before. Look up Bad News Tour and More Bad News, which is the episode from Comic Strip Present, or look out for the DVD of the collection :) and yeah SD collectable, saw it on Ebay during one of my SP searches

@MrHardekyn didn't really get into music until after the 90's :s Bad News was introduced by a friend that has a mutual love of the Young Ones and Bottom, and told me to check them out.

@littleweirdguy To be fair mate, at least you could come up with five, I'm struggling to get past two, lol

@MrHardekyn yeah, it was pretty hard to come up with 5 albums. I have a huge collection of albums. I struggle to come up with my shortlist come time for Triple J's hottest 100 every year
