lowdown Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1484252857' post='3214112'] No, not for me, but so many Bacharach & David songs where I can pick out all the string, horn and backing vocal arrangements. Odd one I know! [/quote] Not odd for me. I am pretty much the same. Writing and arranging of the highest order. There is one album for me - The Nightfly, Donald Fagen. I didn't realise I did, but my oldest son is transcribing some tunes from it and I ended up helping him out (and getting on his nerves). Quote
visog Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 [quote name='mikel' timestamp='1484250943' post='3214085'] Yes....Close to the Edge. I played my original copy, when it first came out, so much I literally wore it out and had to buy another. I know every beat,every note and every lyric by heart. I bought the CD version when it was released but bought another vinyl copy a couple of years ago. Vinyl still sounds better than the CD on a decent system. If I could only own one album for the rest of my life it would be Close to the Edge, without a doubt. [/quote] What Mike said 100% Quote

It's that teeage discovery vinyl thing. They aren't the perfect albums. Well. Life's not perfect. I just know every word and note. Quote
bassbiscuits Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Iron Maiden - Live After Death Scorpions - Worldwide Live Kiss - Alive 2 Three of the first albums that got me into playing music. I have listened to each of them hundreds of times, and know every single note, every bit of banter etc. Quote
Johnny Wishbone Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 [quote name='Crawford13' timestamp='1484255873' post='3214169'] Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers [/quote] Yep, this. Without a doubt. Quote
miles'tone Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead I can play it all in my head, including the couple of jumps my old record did! Quote

KevB Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Some that have already been mentioned, but one that hasn't - ELO's Eldorado album. Quote
Rexel Matador Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I have a few, but the one that comes to mind is "...And Out Come The Wolves" by Rancid. I hadn't thought about in years until I joined Basschat where someone seems to mention Matt Freeman (or more accurately, I suppose, the instrument that bears his name) every few minutes. It's been great to revisit their stuff with a view to learning the bass parts, because they're super-fun to play and a real workout for the fretting hand. Quote
Ghost_Bass Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Being born in the early 80's i was more attached to 90's music in my youth so at that time i knew every Nirvana album by heart, first Green Day and Offspring albums and the first couple of Foo Fighters/ Clawfinger/ Korn/ Marilin Manson albums too. Then i became a bass player and shifted my musical listenings to more fields from jazz to funk. These days i can't even remember the correct order those albums were released but i still love to hear them from time to time Quote
Graham Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Opeth - Blackwater Park I still remember the first time I heard it, and immediately thought, "yup, this is my favourite band now", lead to many repeat listenings. I'd actually rate Still Life a better record, but that was the one that kicked off my love of Opeth. Also, even though it's been out less than a year, I've been remarkably obsessed with Mariner by Cult Of Luna and Julie Christmas. Quote
Smythe Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Jamiroquai - Emergency On Planet Earth is the album I know inside out. I don't even need to listen to it any more, its pretty much burnt onto my brain! Quote
