Lozz196 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Never Mind The Bollocks, by The Sex Pistols. Another 70s album as well! Quote
TheGreek Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 [quote name='Maude' timestamp='1484261644' post='3214243'] Pah! You can't even remember the title Stop Making Sense. Mine would have to be, Disintegration by The Cure The Real Thing by Faith No More and Substance by Joy Division among many others. [/quote] Thanks for pointing that out - amended. I need to get out of the habit of speed reading. Quote
kusee pee Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Duran Duran - Rio Simple Minds - New Gold Dream Every part of every instrument in every song. Two very well produced albums which allow you to pick out so much of the individual parts. Quote
steve-bbb Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 quite a few - i have that sort of tape recorder memory thing for music - which is quite nice Quote
YeastieB Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Probably most of the albums I had when I was growing up. As I didn't have that many, they were played repeatably. So lots of Rush, Joni Mitchell, Pink Floyd, a bit of Weather Report and Al Di Meola. Not heard Pink Floyd's Wall in a long time or thought about it. I wonder if it is still in there? Quote
Roland Rock Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Bridge Over Troubled Water by Garfunkel and the other one Quote
martin8708 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Dire Straits / Dire Straits ( 1st album ) Zenyatta Mondatta / Police I still remember the the hairs on my neck standing up when I very first heard "Don't Stand so Close to Me " Quote
Damonjames Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 [quote name='chrisanthony1211' timestamp='1484293273' post='3214348'] Blood sugar sex magic, although I've heard it so much I can't stand to listen to it anymore...l. [/quote] But I never get tired of it... takes me back to my misspent youth... had a mate who was the first one of our crowd to buy his own car, and a copy of this al um was left in the car stereo! It was probably 4 years after I had heard it for the first time, and has stuck with me ever since. It's one of the few albums you can listen to end to end without skipping a song.... except "they're red hot"... Quote
Damonjames Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 [quote name='blue' timestamp='1484277317' post='3214312'] "There's A Riot Going On" Sly & The Family Stone Blue [/quote] This really surprised me Blue, I had you picked to be far too rock n roll to listen to fly and the family stone. Well played sir 😄 Quote
Bolo Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 [quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1484250452' post='3214077'] We probably all have one or two. An album where you know every word, bass note, guitar / keyboard part and drum beat so intimately that you can play the whole album in your head, in the correct track order. Mine it seems are Hemispheres by Rush and Deja Vu by CSN&Y Be interested to hear what others' are. [/quote] Not even my own 😞 Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Metallica - master of puppets Maiden- number of the beast Rhcp- blood sugar Whitesnake- saints and sinners, 1987 Trouble- trouble Cathedral- carnival bizarre Led Zeppelin 1 Sabbath- any of the first five albums😉 Bad news- bad news 😂 Quote
Kitsto Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Who's Next. Not my favourite album but my first. Loved everything about it. Still feel it's their best album and Glyn Johns's production gives it that warm vinyl sound. All the other 70s albums mentioned so far are ones I've owned and dug. Yes Album, Fragile, Close To The Edge - that trio still amazing. CSN&Y Deja Vu (how great a line is Crosby singing: "Almost cut my hair"). Hejira and Hissing - my fave Joni. Rush - had them all. Sabbath 4 - Wheels Of Confusion - fantastic. Foxtrot: "Dragons commming out of the sea" (only Gabriel sings 'coming' as 'commming'). Plus Zep - the band I loved more than any other. 23rd May 1975, Earl's Court. My first ever gig. Never bettered. Sorry for going on. Thanks for indulging. Edited January 14, 2017 by Kitsto Quote
alyctes Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Fables Of The Reconstruction - REM. Still my call for best REM album. Remain In Light - Talking Heads. I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight - Richard and Linda Thompson. I used to know the Space Ritual inside out, but not any more. Quote
Bilbo Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 I have loads of these to the point where, if I hear a track out of context, I expect the next track I hear to be the next one on the LP. I think that the 70s link is obvious. We all valued music a lot more highly in those days but we also had infinitely less access to massive amounts of recorded music so listened to the fewer Lps we had far more intently. Now, with Spotify and YouTube, people can listen to almost anything at anytime without paying a penny. This has to be a good thing but you lose the intimacy you get from knowing your collection of 20 LPs inside out. Another Close To The Edge, Greenslade Time and Tide, Al DiMeola Land of the Midnight Sun, Brand X Product, Bruford Feels Good to Me, Genesis Seconds Out. The list is massive. Quote
upside downer Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1484324245' post='3214733'] Never Mind The Bollocks, by The Sex Pistols. Another 70s album as well! [/quote] Same here. And a later effort by Johnny too - Album by Public Image Ltd. Quote
Old Man Riva Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) David Bowie - Aladdin Sane. It helped having the lyrics on the inner sleeve (with the exception of Let's Spend the Night Together). One of the few albums that I still listen to from start to finish these days. Definitely "that" album for me... Edited January 15, 2017 by Old Man Riva Quote
bootleg Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 As many have already said, when you only have a few carefully selected albums on vinyl, and John Peel, then they get listened to properly, you exist with them rather than having them. It's when I hear the opening of the next track in my head as the previous one is finishing. Mine are pretty much anything I bought before 1982, including: Diamond Dogs and Ziggy Stardust, Bowie Sheer Heart Attack, Queen Fragile, Yes Quiet Life, Japan Hejira, Joni Mitchell Fear of Music, Talking Heads Playing the Fool, Gentle Giant Quote
Bbiigg Kev Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Many full albums but one of the early ones that is still a classic 70's LP is Judas Priest Sad wings of destiny Quality music me thinks !!! Quote
tredders Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 The Jam - All Mod Cons The Clash - London Calling The Smiths - Hatful of Hollow Barenaked Ladies - Gordon U2 - Joshua Tree Pistols - NMTB RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik (bit of a forum favourite by the look of things) Quote
Japhet Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Aja - Steely Dan. Never get tired of it. Quote
