Sgt Pepper's.

Ok, it is perhaps a throw away suggestion at first glance but My dad and I listened to it from when I was three or four on a Sunday morning (along with other albums) and it has remained one of my favourite albums. It has a good mix of McCartneys 'Granny S**t Music' as Lennon described it, but also has proto rock tracks (Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts club band) as well as slightly more blue and deep tracks plus two heart tuggers in She's leaving home and Day in the life.

Over all a beautiful album both audio and visual.

As a contender for a modern classic album: Super Grass by Super Grass released in 1999. I liked their earlier rock-punk nodding albums 'I should Coco' and 'In it for the money', but with 'Supergrass' they started exploring music further, and it has it's funny moments like the other two albums including 'Lord came from outta space'.

Garbage's self titled first album.

Led Zep I-IV, Physical Graffiti and Presence.

Travis 'The man who' (Gorgeous album)

The Shins 'Wincing the night away' and 'Chutes too narrow'

I have listened to 6 Music for about five years now and don't regret a moment of it.

Genesis - Seconds Out - Supper's Ready. The ability of Collins to fill Gabriels boots, live and play drums, solo and duet with Chester Thompson/Bill Brewster, a masterpiece.
Jethro Tull........ANY.
Rush - Moving Pictures........Neil Pert is undoutably the worlds best rock drummer, the clarity and punch he produces is breathtaking.
Queen - Day at the Races
Pink Floyd.......ANY.......true musical gods....Comfortably numb!


Sure will come up with some more but these touch my soul.

Love the some of the old prog rock,

Genesis, Selling England by The Pound
The Rolling Stones, Goats head Soup
Led Zep, Physical Grafitti,
then got into new wave punk stuff, now I just check out the band names, and if its clever I'll give them a listen,
so I offer, The War on Drugs, Lost in a dream. Do check it out!

and we have tickets for Ali, Astro and Mickey June 11th in taunton, UB40 version deux!

Question?

Are Albums the way to go, or do you prefer to build up compilations of individual tracks? The latter is my preferred route.

The Wall for example cannot be split up as it tells a story. To be listened to in its entirety in a darkened room under the influence of some strong beverage...... O0 O0 O0
