lojo Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I've spotify so I'll start getting through some of these Something different , but I love this ... Robin of Sherwood - Clannad Needs to be played when your relaxing Quote
Roland Rock Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Lots here I've not heard before. I feel a 'BC Classics' Spotify playlist coming on. Quote
paul j h Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Close to the edge by Yes, the first album I ever bought (as a 14 year old) and I still think its great now, l would also suggest Seconds out by Genesis Quote
SpaceChick Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd It is musical artistry and just has to be listened to from start to finish. Quote
Clarky Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Too many to mention, as I am of a certain age and thus reminisce! Just picking two though, from my early teens, Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis. Late teens, Closer - Joy Division Quote
RhysP Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 A Wizard, a True Star - Todd Rundgren My Life in the Bush of Ghosts - Brian Eno & David Byrne Quote
kendall Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Not a huge fan of these. But recently listened to Script for a Jesters Tear by Marillion. Quote

[/quote] I was going to suggest this, (cos it's still brilliant), so I'm going to go with ABBA's [i]Arrival [/i]instead. Magnificent songwriting. Edited February 12, 2015 by paul_5 Quote
gadgie Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Couple of crackers on there already. Great shout with 'new boots and panties' and XTC. Bridge over troubled water is one i often go back to now and again. Quote
Nicko Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Does Blood Sugar Sex Magik count as classic? Quote
Roland Rock Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 A Southern Harmony and Musical Companion by The Black Crowes. Gorgeous soulful/gospel-fuelled stones-esque rock. Love it Quote
Drax Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 [quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1423727310' post='2688255'] Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd It is musical artistry and just has to be listened to from start to finish. [/quote] Completely agree. Lots of esoteric choices so far, and a lot of new names to me I'm playlisting. But sometimes the albums that need revisiting are the big ones hiding in plain sight. Recent road trip to Michael Jackson - Thriller in its entirety, a masterclass in songwriting and production (and a stack of great basslines). Like DSOM or Sgt Pepper, worth reminding yourself why it is legendary. Quote

No lust in Jazz Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Ship arriving too late to save a drowing Witch - Frank Zappa Quote
Bo0tsy Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Parliament, Mothership Connection, quite possibly the funkiest bass driven album ever IMHO. Quote
Mykesbass Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Bob Marley Exodus - probably more associated with hit singles but for me this really works in album form (and hate to say it as a lover of vinyl, actually works even better on CD with no interruption being turned over)! Edited February 13, 2015 by Mykesbass Quote
yanto Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Fleetwood Mac-Rumours And for my drunk album: Carol King-Tapestry.The songwriting and musicianship are outstanding Quote
BigGuyAtTheBack Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Is it ok to like ELO's 'Out of the Blue' I just found my original vinyl of it the other day and played it right through in the mancave. Brought me right back to my school days, ah nostalgia eh! Quote
Mudpup Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime Absolute classic rock opera with Eddie Jacksons amazing bass sound (turned me on to the whole Spector/Sansamp grind along with Dirt by Alice in Chains....) I think I played it every day for a year and then they followed it up with Empire which was also awesome. Standout tracks for me are - Suite Sister Mary - just lush... Spreading the Disease - for the sneaky little playing outside the box lead run in the solo Breaking the Silence - that bass sound! I Don't Believe in Love - that bass sound again and the tortured vocals Eyes of a Stranger - great closing track Quote
41.2Hz Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 The Specials by The Specials. First LP I ever bought, turned me onto music that you can dance to (of [u]all [/u]sorts) forever. Oh, and Horace Panter can't half play bass! Quote
Oldman Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 [quote name='paul j h' timestamp='1423726626' post='2688246'] Close to the edge by Yes, the first album I ever bought (as a 14 year old) and I still think its great now, l would also suggest Seconds out by Genesis [/quote] We did the first family holiday with my mates family, hired a cottage in Angelsey, hired a minibus, 4 adults, 4 kids, 2 Irish Wolfhounds, Labradore, a Yorkie (dog) and an ounce of some herbal mayhem, this was about '72. I borrowed a portable cassette player from work and "Close to the Edge", just the one tape, only. Played it to death. To this day my 'Ex Wife (now) cannot stand it or them. Incidentally Jon Anderson ( a twin) used to be in a band called the Warriors with his brother and played the Cavern on a regular basis. I still have the Album in Vinyl, I need to resurrect my vinyl now, see what you've started as if GAS wasn't enough Quote
ras52 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1423727871' post='2688259'] A Wizard, a True Star - Todd Rundgren My Life in the Bush of Ghosts - Brian Eno & David Byrne [/quote] Oh yes. Although I could only have one Todd album it would be "Todd" [quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1423730181' post='2688290'] Ship arriving too late to save a drowing Witch - Frank Zappa [/quote] Yes! Side 2 (in old money) is among his finest 17 minutes or so IMO. I just don't "get" No Not Now :-/ Quote
KevB Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Another ELO offering but going further back that OOTB, I think anyone should hear 'Eldorado' at least once in their life. So here it is; [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWFsd9ZNlaE"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWFsd9ZNlaE[/url] Quote
