Old Man Riva Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Black Sabbath - Sabotage. Not a fan of Sabbath/heavy metal at all but the album just blows me away every time. It never seems to get a mention when their work is discussed, which is a shame as it's such a diverse and 'risky' album.. Quote
Phil Starr Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 The King is Dead, Decemberists. Just full of joy and some lovely work by the bassist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDO4bzFWewk&list=PL559E1711B07598F1 Quote

Inspired by seeing several of it's songs played live last night - a massive surprise - I would like to nominate 'Islands' by King Crimson. Terminally unpopular and very much an oddity among their other albums, it's actually rather beautiful and pioneering - Sigur Ros seem to have taken inspiration from it. Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1441529501' post='2859455'] Hamburger Concerto by Focus. Didn't have the success of its predecessors Focus 3 and Moving Waves, both of which had very successful singles (Sylvia and Hocus Pocus) - the single from Hamburger Concerto was Harem Scarem which sank without a trace. [/quote] If Pierre Van Der Linden was on it it would have been perfect. Quote
spongebob Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Nektar - 'Sounds Like This' Double album, got it all - some tasty bass too, from Derek 'Mo' Moore. Quote
alyctes Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Palace Brothers. (Later known as Days In The Wake.) Saltash Bells. Sound on Sound. Clear Spot. Rising Above Bedlam. Germ-Free Adolescents. Quote
paul h Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Dynamite Monster Boogie by Raging Slab. Awesome southern rock with really great, catchy songs. Quote
cameltoe Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Reef- Replenish Before all the place your hands rubbish, this was a proper riff rock album which sounded vintage and new at the same time. RHCP-One Hot Minute Blood Sugar gets all the attention, but I'm really fond of this album. Quirky with some great pop songs and just enough of the old chili's still in there. Quote
LayDownThaFunk Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 One Hot Minute is a great shout. Navarro was the perfect guitarist for that era. Actually, Great Escape Artist by Jane's is a cracker that got little fanfare when it came out 4 years ago. No Ritual, but their second best IMO. Quote
Slipperydick Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Oldies, but Bustin at the seams and Fog on the tyne seem to be all but forgotten. Some ace bass lines, by forgotten bass players on both as well. Quote
BassTractor Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 [quote name='doctorbass' timestamp='1441876162' post='2862453'] XTC - Go2 [/quote] I'll admit I didn't see that one coming, so it's probably a very good one for this thread. I'd always assumed "White Music" and "Go 2" were just the preparation for "Drums and Wires". But you did it: I'll give it another few spins right now. Quote
mike f Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1441757622' post='2861589'] Palace Brothers. (Later known as Days In The Wake.) Saltash Bells. Sound on Sound. Clear Spot. Rising Above Bedlam. Germ-Free Adolescents. [/quote] Clear Spot. Good call. It's one of my all time favourite LPs. And it appears to dwell in the shadow of Trout Mask Replica. It is a truly wonderful album. Quote
tauzero Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 "The Slider" by T Rex. "Electric Warrior" tends to be the more recognised album but I think that "The Slider" was a further development of their sound and more sophistication to the songs. Quote
KevB Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I was always under the impression that Family's 'Bandstand' was liked by fans and critics alike and regarded as one of their best, contains two of their best known songs. It got to number 15 in the album chart which isn't shabby. Not something I'd consider under the title of the thread tbh. Edited September 11, 2015 by KevB Quote
lancer Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Communiqué-Dire Straits. Listening to this the other night, what a fantastic album Quote

inthedoghouse Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 [quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1441051659' post='2855741'] Curved Air...Air Cut, the black sheep of the family with no Darryl Way on board, but 17 year old prodigy Eddie Jobson providing the Violin and the melodrama, this album is a hard rocking hippytastic crossover. I absolutely love it! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11cRJedrR0Q&list=PL501844DB90713215[/media] [/quote]Great call! :-) Quote
Lozz196 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Permission to Land - The Darkness. A seriously good rock album, by a band many don`t take seriously, just because of Justins falsetto singinging. Quote
lee4 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Jason and The Scorchers first EP,"Fervour".Country-punk,Hank Williams,and f##k-off brilliant guitar. Band of Heathens,"Band of Heathens",great country bluesy Southern USA sounds. Elvis Costello,"King of America".Every song a stormer. Quote
