miles'tone Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 [quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1406306617' post='2510479'] Too many to list! But for a real genuine keeper, it would be 'Moonflower' by Santana. Their last great album, but more importantly the album that took me onto so many new pastures. In 1990, I was a 16 year old metal fan, but slowly moving away from it. I heard a whole side of 'Moonflower' played by Fluff Freeman on a Saturday night, and I was hooked. I can't think of many records that have so much - soul, pop, rock, latin, jazz, funk......it took me to a million new directions which I still explore today - and for that its a special one for me, 24 years in. I became immersed in totally new music overnight. Many come and go, but I still love it. Listened to it last weekend in fact. [/quote] Yes! I heard that show too!! Same effect on me as I was 18. Had it on all week as it just goes so well with the Sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alembic63 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1406298980' post='2510362'] Thousands of albums come and go as we move through life but there are always a handful that stay with us and which we never tire of. For me, there ones that never seem to grow stale include... Nova - Vimana - a 1976 LP by an Italian fusion outfit but with Percy Jones on bass. Impossible to locate but there are some tracks in Youtube (Vimana, Night Games, The Princess and The Frog) Bill Bruford - Feels Good To Me (1978) Jeff Berlin's finest moment with Annette Peacock, Allan Holdsworth, Dave Stewart and Kenny Wheeler) Kenny Wheeler - Music for Large and Small Ensembles (1990) Marc Johnson - Bass Desires (1985) John Scofiled, Bill Frissel, Peter Ersking - stunning Dave Holland - Extensions (1990)Holland, Steve Coleman, Kevin Eubanks and Marvin Smitty Smith Jaco Pastorius - Twins - the US double LP version (recorded 1982 but released 1999) Joe Lovano - Landmarks (1990) - Lovano, Marc Johnson, Bill Stewart, Kenny Werner, John Abercrombie but this one is greater than the sum of it's parts Genesis - Seconds Out (1976?) - every track a gem - love lots of their stuff but this one was the one that broke them for me Branford Marsalis - Trio Jeepy Yes - Close To The Edge - my first prog LP There are so many more but these are the ones that come to mind and which I occasionally go back to whilst others are long, long gone. What are your keepers? [/quote] some great albums there mate....I've also got a Nova album in my list, here goes..... Nova - Wings of love, saw them live in the late 70's and Barry Johnson's Bass playing had a profound effect on me at the time Camel - Breathless Caravan - Better by far Wishbone Ash - live dates Rush - Exit stage left Joni Mitchel - Miles of Aisles Stanley Clarke - School Days Genesis - Wind and Wuthering Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon Joni Mitchel - Shadows and light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus27 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 This feels like a thread from a byegone era. All my albums are ripped as mp3s. Why would I get rid of any of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) To add to Moonflower: The Stone Roses, The Doors - L.A. Woman, Bill Evans Trio - The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings, QOTSA - Songs For The Deaf RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik Herbie Hancock - Headhunters Billie Holiday - Lady Day Obviously we all love hundreds of albums but these come immediately to mind as now being part of my actual DNA structure.

Panzer Battalion is the second best song (after Nightwish's Wishmaster) to do, what my old mate and me used to call, War-Horsing to.

Rage against the Machine - Evil Empires Rage Against the Machine - Battle for LA Blink 182 - Enema of the State Blink 182 - Take off your pants and Jacket Alien Ant Farm - ANThology Alkaline Trio - My shame is true FIDLAR - Self titled Maybe one or two others but that all I can think of for now.

Cat Burrito Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I've got albums that I never play that were so key to me at points in my life and I guess this thread isn't about those. The ones I will always come back to that were so important when I first got into them include; That'll Be the Day - OST Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan The Harder They Come - OST With the Beatles - The Beatles Black Magic - Stax Soul comp my parents had when I was a kid No Cats - Lee Rocker The Fine Art of Self Destruction - Jesse Malin West - Lucinda Williams Exile on Main St - Rolling Stones The Band - The Band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
