He's a lose double for meAddickUpNorth said:@Absurdistan - I truly admire Morrissey's conviction for animal rights but his music, solo and with the Smiths does nothing for me.

Oh, I'm a big Utopia fan as well, mate. The best track on Ra, in my opinion, is Communion With The Sun. That track, in a nutshell, shows what a tight band the stripped-down four-piece Utopia was. Rundgren has said the principal reason he started Utopia was so he could play the guitar again. He was getting tired of being called the male Carole King, singing ballads behind a piano. Typical of the way that he loves to disrupt audience expectations, he went from pop balladeer to being in a prog rock band, and playing guitar solos on top of a pyramid!Chippycafc said:

Love these threads but might not be able to keep it to 5
1) Hard Days Night - The Beatles probably not their best musically but it had so much energy I still love the film as well
2) Disraeli Gears - Cream simply blew me away as a teenager and still does
3) Live at Leeds The Who without doubt the mighty Who in their pomp
4) Led Zeppelin 1 the band that broke a ton of new ground and this is still my all time favourite
5) Every Picture Tells a Story -Rod Stewart worth the money for the title track alone this was when Rod made proper records instead of that American song book shit
6) Astral Weeks - Van Morrison great album and love Van's voice
7) Talking Book - Stevie Wonder this man is a magician and this is my favourite (of many) albums by him
8) The ballard of John Henry - Joe Bonnamassa the best guitarist working today and this for me is his finest hour so far
9) Tons of Sobs - Free. Paul Rodgers is the best singer ever and Paul Kossoff's playing makes me want to cry it is so good
could be more but that is how it is today6 -

Agree! Probably my favourite Beatles album now, which has surprised me as I've always loved Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper and The White Album (I think the White Album has too much filler to justify it being a double album btw). Love pretty much every track on A Hard Day's Night. Love the energy of the record and You Can't Do That is one of my favourite Beatles tracks.daveaddick said:

Plight and Premonition .... David Sylvian and Holgar Czugay ..........(Music for a winter's evening)
Tin Drum.......................... Japan.................................................... (Mick Karn's bass on Sons of Pioneers is just magic)
Gentlemen take Polaroids..Japan
Smash...............................The Offspring....................................... (keeps my alter ego happy)
Cendre...............................Christian Fennesz and Ruichi Sakamoto
OMD...................................Orchestral Manoevres in the dark........(when they just made music, and did'nt care about charting)
Everything and Nothing......Sylvian
Aural Sculpture..................The Stranglers........................................(it's got Skin Deep, what more can I say)
Tomorrow, I may change some but the Sylvian stuff is just forever now.2 -
Quite a few of these would have been a consideration, having at one time with the exception of Joe's album I have had the pleasure of owning. Joe is one of the very few artist's I would go and pay to see these day's, I photographed him once, when he did a small live acoustic gig on the Bob Harris show, he had just come from playing in Hyde park I think. Really friendly guy, we spent some time talking about Hendrix, SRV, and Rory Gallagher, you will not be surprissed to hear. His slide playing was so good, I only managed to take 3 photographs.......daveaddick said:Love these threads but might not be able to keep it to 5

Thanks Bryan will definitely give it a listen. I have to say I also forgot After the Goldrush by Neil Young an album I go back to regularly.
