Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds...

[grumpycommuter]

For a project at university I walked the route that the journalist takes from Maybury Hill in Woking to Primrose Hill in London, documented it with photos and then had to make it into a book. Took 3 or 4 days of walking with the odd train ride as well. Still got the book somewhere. My all time favourite novel and certainly one of my favourite albums.

Back then I think many people bought this album along with ELO's Out of the Blue, Pink Floyd's Dark side of the Moon, Led Zeps Song Remains the same & possibly Deep Purples Made in Japan.

I also love listening to the Orson Welles version that scared the crap out of America in the 30's

Please elaborate?

Red weed FTW.

Thunderchild's my favourite 'single' from the album, dun dun dun, da na na, da na na

Narrated by Orson in the 30's as a news style bulletin format, it is reported to have caused panic in the US as some listeners didn't hear a disclaimer at the beginning of the show.
