It’s National Album Day today, themed with great British artists.

What’s your go to default album when you can’t quite decide what you want to listen to?

I usually end up listening to Marillion’s Misplaced Childhood.

It varies over time. I tend to get stuck listening to one album continually for weeks, even months. It was This Could Be Texas by English Teacher and it's currently Sucker by Ian Sweet.

If you asked me what my favourite most-played albums are, I'd have to include The Decline by British Sea Power, a highly eccentric debut album full of great tunes and brilliant lyrics. It also reminds me of seeing their wild early shows.

My 'go to' album when I get home from a night on the shandy is Closer by Joy Division (because I'm a happy chap). I seriously think it's one the greatest albums ever made, almost more high art than music.

I can’t say I have any moments where I can’t decide which album to listen to…I listen to around 4 a day most days….but my two favourite British albums are London Calling and Beggars Banquet

After what little was left of Coventry when Jerry had finished , the chance was there to create a very modern city unfortunately concrete was the "very modern material" - hence sh!thole , great shame . Cathedral has fantastic acoustics though apparently .

If i need to calm down it would be Ommadawn -Mike Oldfield or maybe Oxygen or Equinoxe -Jean Michel Jarre . If i am wired it would be Wish You Were Here , otherwise it would be Animals or maybe some E.L.O. .

To HWT , my choice would be Armed Forces - Elvis Costello (y)
