seashell Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 [quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1406331157' post='2510788'] I think for me, my number one album I totally adore, musically, tonally and production is Talk Talk - The Colour of Spring. I think Supertramp - Breakfast in America would also be included. Simple Minds - Street Fighting Years is also a great album. [/quote] Interesting. The Colour of Spring is a great album but doesn't come up much on lists like these. I've got it, but I haven't played it for ages. I'll have to give it another spin! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 The three I'd rescue from a fire would be: Led Zep 4 Deja Vu by CSNY Get yer YaYas Out by the Stones. If I could only take one it would be Led Zep 4 (natch) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I could say Bjork's back catalogue, as I still listen to all her albums from Debut to Biophelia, but if I were to choose one, it would possibly be Homogenic (though that would be in tight contention with Post & Verspertine). Other's are... Daft Punk - Homework Kurt Elling - Nightmoves Pearl Jam - Ten Roni Size - New Forms Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense Gungor - A Creation Liturgy There's probably others that I'll think of later.

BassTractor Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) My rule: one album per artist, but cheating is good, m'kay? AMM: AMMMusic Colin Blunstone: Ennismore André Boucourechliev: Archipel 3 John Coltrane: Ascension Miles Davis: Bitches Brew Egg: The Civil Surface Gentle Giant: The Power and the Glory Hatfield and the North: The Rotters' Club Karin Krog: some old (titleless?) album with John Surman Motorpsycho: Angels and Daemons at Play National Health: Complete Krzysztof Penderecki: Threnos Propaganda: A Secret Wish Scritti Politti: Cupid & Psyche '85 John Surman: The Amazing Adventures of Simon Simon (not really but it's a way cooler title than those boring reflections and withholding patterns) David Sylvian: Secrets of the Beehive Iannis Xenakis: Persephassa Yes: Close to the Edge Zappa: The Mothers of Prevention I could go on for years...

cytania Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yardbirds/Roger The Engineer - bought this because of the Stranglers covering Over Under Sideways Down but it's really grown on me. The Yardbirds have risen in my estimation from PsychBeat also rans to sixties rock must-haves. The rocked up blues are great but I also have a soft spot for Keith Relf's whimsical ditties. 60s pop psych perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Curved Air - Air Cut, its on every device I have, still listen to it regularly, since 1973. But also Focus - Focus III, another cracking album! Jethro Tull - Bursting Out Genesis - Seconds Out Yes - Relayer, Going for the One, Tales from Topographic Oceans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1406386796' post='2511101'] Music is just the BEST thing [/quote] There's a slight possibility I'm somewhat slanted in my view, seeing as that I'm a musician, but: - I LOVE the theatre. In competition with music, it stands no chance. - I LOVE novels. In competition with music, they stand no chance. - I LOVE poetry. In competition with music, it stands no chance. - I LOVE paintings. In competition with music, they stand no chance. - I LOVE sculptures. In competition with music, they stand no chance. - I LOVE film art. In competition with music, it stands no chance. Music is just the BEST thing. BTW; I could write a long winded serious post about this, but you wouldn't wanna read it and I don't wanna write it. The gist stays the same: music is un-effing-believably effective in its strength as to moving people... and then to think how abstract it normally is... (or exactly because of that). I'd say music is just the BEST thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailin' Shoes - Little Feat Clear Spot - Cap'n Beefheart Darkness on the Edge of Town - Bruce Blood on the tracks - Bob Dylan On your feet or on your knees - Blue Oyster Cult Hatful of Hollow - The Smiths Full House - J Geils I guess because I played them to death when they came out and they still get the treatment now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
