15 albums that stay with you thing

[wallyback]

Good to see someone choosing the sublime Music Of My Mind over the better-known (but still brilliant) Talking Book or Innervisions.

First Stevie Wonder album I bought. Heard "Superwoman" on Radio Luxembourg" one night mid 70s. Next day bought the album Total gem!

I can't believe no one has mentioned 'Whigfield - Saturday night'

Probably because it was a single not an album

[Super Steve Earle]

Here's my first:

I've really rediscovered Wheelhouse by Brad Paisley:

I have revisited this album in several occasions since release in 2013. It suffered from some disappointing reviews at the time, but every time I return to it, I like it even more. It actually feels like a whole album which, in this single track digital day and age, may be why some don't like it. Plus, of course, 'Accidental Racist' was a controversial choice of single which deflected from the quality of the album overall. If you are a Brad fan, which I confess I am, you will like this album which really repays repeated listens. The humour is laugh out loud funny. Karate, Death of a Married Man and Harvey Bodine are just incredibly clever and witty. The neat use of a whistling refrain in a song including Eric Idle is sheer genius recalling as it does his work with Python and, for me, this is evidence of a carefully conceived package of music and songs. At 21 songs, it may be a shade too long, but it sounds best when played from start to finish as a single piece. It's rapidly becoming one of my favourite albums.

Please help I am looking for a Dire Straits album with most of their hits and well known songs on but looking on I tunes it seems as if they have 2 or 3 on different albums, which means downloading each song rather than an entire album.
