Q) What's your all-time favourite LP?

A) Several users list multiple records.

Tsk! What's that all about, eh?

It's impossible to choose just one....

 

[Dave the OAP]

The Four Symbols - Led Zeppelin

Thriller - Michael Jackson

Word Up - Cameo

Rumours - Fleetwood Mack

Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

Songbird - Eva Cassidy

Diverse Music taste, moi?

 

[Sonic]

'Gold Mother' by James.
Closely followed by 'This Is The Sea' by The Waterboys, and 'Gorgeous George' by Edwyn Collins.

 

[Wozza]

It's impossible to choose just one....

Hey, tell that to the board of examiners. You've all failed.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back

 

[WATFORD O]

meades ball. Thats is a class choice. Did you dsee them at the dome at the weekend?

 

[Icy Gull]

This week

Bob Marley - Babylon by Bus
Genesis - Selling England by the Pound

 

[The Large One]

Good call Sonic for Georgeous George. I'd forgotten about that. Also please to see plenty of shouts for 'What's Going On'.

Today, I will be mostly adding to my list...

Tapestry - Carol King
Geno - Dexy's Midnight Runners (There, There My Dear is a mod dance classic).
Crystal Night - Attaco Decente (Extremely obscure, but pure quality from the first to last note).

 

[Soton Seagull]

JJ72 - JJ72

or if in a sing along mood - James - Greatest Hits

As above, you can't have 1 as music is about moods.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

linkin park - hybrid theory

got to agree with that, brilliant album, meteora is also great.

Pink - M!ssundaztood
Good Charlotte - young and the hopeless

 

[The Large One]

Soton: And also you can't have James' Greatest Hits, cos its a compilation (read the first message of the thread).

 

[Stoaty Ferret]

Pills Thrills and Bellyaches - Happy Mondays
Vanishing Point - Primal Scream
Three Feet High... - De La Soul

A Storm in Heaven is by far the best work the Verve came out with, but then I used to be a bit of a shoegazer....

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

In response to Eddie The Seagull - A-Ha - Hunting High and Low. I have every one of A-Ha's albums and regard them as the most underrated band in the history of " pop " music. They did some wonderfully crafted catchy pop songs but also some powerful tracks on the albums with the wonderful falsetto voice of Morten Harket.

Their revival with 2 recent great albums showed the maturity of their songwriting and should be heared by all.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Tough, but in no particular order:



Happy Mondays - Pills, Thrills & Bellyaches
Manics - Generation Terrorists
De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising
Lab 4 - Neurocide
Auteurs - New Wave
Ooberman - Hey Petrunko
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Soul II Souls - Club Classics Vol 1

 

[Blackadder]

Going on which albums I consitantly pick out of my collection to listen to, it would be
REM - Automatic For The People
Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell









Sorry.

We have the same tastes 80's. I was also thinking of those two fine albums.

Like INXS - Kick and Nirvanna - NeverMind as well.


Grade 1 Piano

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Then there were Three by Genesis. Pure class.

Who's Next, fantastic album, love the long version of Won't get fooled again.

Thin Lizzie, Black Rose, superb stuff.

Pink Floyd, The Wall. Brilliant!

How old am I?

Then there were three by genesis is my no1,my cd must be worn out.

dark side of the moon ,30 years old and could have been released today.an absolute classic.

 

[Spearritt of the Albion]

ELP - Trilogy
Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees
Queen - Sheer Heart Attack
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Green Day - Dookie
Sparks - Kimono My House
Slade - Sladest
Supertramp - Crisis? What Crisis?
The Beatles - Hard Days Night
Talk Talk - The Party's Over


All so different, but classics in their own way. Haven't heard of Boz Scaggs? On that album was his own rendition of We're All Alone (he wrote it) which was a massive hit for a female singer in the late seventies. Although the hit was very good, his version was much better.

Don't know any Louis Armstrong albums but every song of his I ever heard was a classic. 'What a Wonderful World' is just the tops. Just listen to the words!

Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees

Boz is excellent, although I maybe preferred 'Middleman.' Great voice.

A few people have listed Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. I would have agreed if they had left Silver Springs on there. What a crime to leave it off - an absolute classic. Was B-side to Go Your Own Way though, but scant compensation.
