[Stato]

Native Sons by The Long Ryders
Lost and Found by Jason and the Scorchers

I loved 'Native Sons'. I now want to go and dig out my copy. I may grab Green On Red's 'No Free Lunch', Let's Active's 'Big Plans For Everybody' & The Miracle Legion's 'Me and Mr Ray' and make an afternoon of it.

[lawros left foot]

Hunky Dory David Bowie. My all time favourite album.


One not so well known, Relish. Joan Osborne. ‘One of us’ the big single of the album is probably the worst track on it.

[MJsGhost]

If I may suggest as a genre "childish parody albums that amused me as teenager and therefore still love today", then there's a choice of two albums (same 'band')

The Shirehorses (Mark & Lard):
The Worst...Album in the World...Ever...EVER!
Our Kid, Eh

My wife absolutely HATES them both, so I guess you had to be there

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

My choices

I'll give that Elvis album a spin. Iconic cover as well.

No Beatles?

 

[Reagulls]

I love these threads, I'll give a listen to many on here.
I remember standing in HMV aged about 19 when it was still on Western Road opposite the top of Preston Street feeling slightly frustrated that there will be an album in here that I'd love but will never get to listen to.

My eldest daughter and I tried to work out how long it would take to listen to Spotify in its entirety
there are approx. 82 million tracks on Spotify, Let's say the average song is 3 minutes. If you were to listen to one million of those songs back to back, it would take nearly 6 years

82 x 6 = 492 years...

 

[AIT76]

Another vote for Power, Corruption and Lies.

Also

Television - Marquee Moon
The The - Soul Mining
Air - Moon Safari
Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels

 

[Boys 9d]

I agree with the Jazz albums mentioned so far. I should like to add two more:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cq7CzSC7u0

That album of course lends its name to the local Jazz Festival.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFXjGwkzP98&list=PLNm0Wl4JnzZofuasLxU-xrWFGhoboNMnI

Possibly too recent to be called classic but having had the opportunity to also witness a live performance, I am sure in time to come it will earn the status of Classic.

Your thinking is part of what fuels my interest and love of music….it’s never ending and there’s always something else.

You’ve reminded me…someone on NSC was attempting to listen to all the albums listed in the book 1000 Albums to Listen to Before you Die. Possibly [MENTION=12101]Mellotron[/MENTION]?

Anything by Wet Wet Wet

 

[jakarta]

All of the DC's albums are worth a listen, but the First Album is wonderfully simple and simply wonderful. Just Vini and Martin Hannett - as mentioned in another thread the film 24 Hour Party People is well worth your time if you want to get into the Manc Music Scene of the 80's and 90's...

[BRIGHT ON Q]

The music threads on here kept me going over the last 2 years, Super Steve Earl's 'Best song you've heard today' thread, in particular, has been one of my all time my favourites. It caused me to get lost daily in YouTube wormholes of music, and really jogged my musical memory, it also opened my mind to many different genres I would never have considered. Anyway, here's a few classic albums that are favourites of mine,

Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
The Doors - The Doors
Deep Purple - Deep Purple In Rock + Made In Japan
Rod Stewart - "Every Picture Tells A Story"
Supertramp - Crime Of The Century + Breakfast In America
Queen - Sheer Heart Attack
Simple Minds - Glittering Prize
Go West - Bangs And Crashes
Erasure - The Innocents + Wild

Glittering prize is a greatest hits album (bloody good mind)
