Suzi - have you got "High Land, Hard Rain" their debut album - aprt from Somewhere In My Heart, it contains all their best stuff - one of my all time favourite albums.
Saw Roddy Frame a couple of years ago at Ronnie Scots and at the end he performed SIMH and four or five off from High Land, Hard Rain. His last solo album is pretty good too.
erm...god knows what the album is, my mum and dad used to play it in the car, and me and my brother used to sing along to it. same with fairground attraction!
i have an album with what looks like a carousel, is it love?

Cool parents. How old are they if you don't mind me asking?
she listens to xfm and has every muse album amongst other stuff, and he's currently listening to maximo park, lily allen and jim noir amongst others, that was who he played in the car at the weekend
mum saw the beatles live, and we took my dad to see the stones for his b'day in august, and got front row. me and my brother defo know where we get the music interest from!
Slightly older than me then! I always take that "hope I die before I get old" to mean stay young and interested rather than reaching a certain age. Sounds like your mum and dad agree. Be interesting to know what, say there top five albums are.
Part of me thinks it would be great if Joe likes "my" music (of course it is what he hears now in the house and car) but as former punk I also want him to listen to stuff that I hate, think is derivative, too loud, can't hear the words and can't tell if they are boys or girls.
they have got occasional some questionable tastes. they started singing along to the black eyed peas album much to my dismay.
dad got me into gomez, and he's going to come to glastonbury with us next year. he used to take my brother to donnington to see the monsters of rock, and took jon to see "night of 100 guitars" with eric clapton.
mum is a massive motown fan, used to sneak out to concerts when she was younger, when her dad used to tell her that they were a waste of her money. she saw dionne warwick once, in a theatre in brixton, and there was no heating, she came on in her coat, sang 3 songs, not "walk on by" and left. they didn't get any money back and my mum didn't like her after that.
love sitting down with them with them telling us stories about how music influenced them. my mums elder brother had a scooter, with all the mirrors, as he was a bit of a mod. mum used to nick his lp's.
will ask them their top 5 albums and get back to you!!
Sounds like I'm going to like you mums choices more than your dads (monsters of rock!!). Really intrigued to hear what they are.
My M & D are much older (74 and 82) so not of the rock and roll era but we did have lots of blues 78s in the house. Leadbelly, Bessie Smith etc that I wish I'd kept now. Dad used to play in a skiffle group but music wasn't such a big thing in my house when growing up.
music and musicians such a big influence on me so I can dig where they are coming from, man.
Glitter V Stardust - Glitter even if now I couldn't really listen to him. Saw him live in about 1980 New years eve. Did all the classics
Donny Osmond V David Cassidy David, better looking and no a mormon
The Jackson 5 V The Osmonds The jacksons by a mile. Not even a contest. Pop genius
Mud V Wizard - Wizard
Pilot V The Motors - January, Magic classics for has to be the pilot
Flintlock V The Wombles Flintlock for the light bulb spinning and the two groupies (linda Robson and Pauline Quirke plus the drummer was in the tomorrow people.)

His name was Mike Holloway.
Mike Bell I believe....
mums are:
otis - blue
beatles - rubber soul
isley brothers - 3+3
marvin gaye - she can't decide which album
elton john - yellow brick road
Rubber soul or Revolver for a beatles LP but I can see why she go for rubber soul. Think that is Elton's best but not that big a fan.
I'd go for
Blue - Joni Mitchel
Blood of the tracks - Dylan
The Band - The Band
Horses - Patti Smith
Transformer - Lou Reed
But hard not to have any Velvets, Impressions/Curtis, Clash, Stones, etc, etc.
First album is my fave. living in London in 1977 when that exploded. Going to listen to it again now. When those drums kick in on Janie Jones I'm 16 again.
you serious?
