[Bloodandglitter]

Wither Blister Burn and Peel from Stabbing Westward
Both Prolonging the Magic and Fashion Nugget from Cake
Wet Leg by…Wet Leg

Ohhhhh Stabbing Westward

 

[Bloodandglitter]

I could have picked 2 or 3 other Teenage Fanclub records. Thirteen. Grand Prix. Shit, Bandwagonesque beat out Nirvana’s Nevermind for Spin’s album of year, but Songs From Northern Britain is the one I play the most often.. hard to pick a favorite song. Aint that Enough.

I really like Bandwagonesque

'Chasing Yesterday' Noel Gallagher
'NFR' Lana Delray, or anything by her, but that one especially.
'Achtung Baby' U2
'Jar of Flies' Alice in Chains
'Shear Heart Attack' Queen

Dark Side of the Moon and the White Album are only "perfect" albums to me......

 

[wp2004]

Beach Boys, Pet Sounds. Yeah I know different era from what everyone else is listing, but you have to look at the place in history the album was created, especially with studio mixing. If Brian Wilson would have never stumbled upon Phil Spector's "wall of sound" in the Ronnettes "By my baby" none of it would have come to fruition.

Which is the better album?

English Beat - I Just Can’t Stop It
Specials - The Specials

That’s a toss up to me, but if I had to bet, I’d actually choose the English beat.

Great thread and interesting reading.

I would 100% go with The Specials

 

[Hugo_Agogo_UK]

Purple Rain by Prince

 

[Hugo_Agogo_UK]

I’m not going to repeat ones I love from above, but here are a few from me

Fresh - Sly & the Family Stone
There’s a Riot Going On - Sly & the Family Stone
Headhunters - Herbie Hancock
Abbey Road
Elis - Elis Regina
In a Silent Way - Miles Davis

The first five albums sitting in a record bin closest to me at the moment:
Butthole Surfers ‘Hairway to Steven’
Pixies ‘Surfer Rosa’
This Mortal Coil ‘Filigree and Shadow’
The The ‘Mind Bomb’
Nirvana ‘Incesticide’

Probably the better band, but that first English beat album… damn it’s good.

Plus there was an absolute riot last time I saw the eng beat. Jenkinsons pavilion in Point pleasant. The college moms were on the dance floor. So were the skins and punks. A housedad intervened. Then it was on!

Great night!

I have not heard the whole album yet. In should download it.

Heard a few singles from it - all pretty good.

 

[Wonderer67]

Space Ritual by Hawkwind is a perfect album.

I have to admit I had a lucky musical upbringing. My older sisters were into music and especially punk. My one sister dated a guy in the early/mid 80s who was into really obscure music. He turned me on to the stooges, MC5, Tygers of Pan Tang, a zillion others and especially Hawkwind: Space Ritual

I would listen to this album stoned. I was blown away by it!

In retrospect it’s maybe so bad it’s… great?!?! Heavy metal space rock. A bit corny. But it hold a special place in my heart and will always bring me back to being 16…17.

5/5 album!

It's so good! Mangetout is my favorite

Speaking of Hawkwind:

Bring It On by Gomez
Expecting To Fly by The Bluetones

I have both of those and haven't thought of them for years.

Yes! Innuendo! Freddie's vocals, as amazing as they always were, were the ABSOLUTE BEST! On that album. Huge Queen fanatic my entire life

I feel like most people don’t know or appreciate that album. To me it seems like Freddie with the help of the rest of the band somehow put everything he had left into one last record and they made a beautiful masterpiece.

Top 5 of Queen albums. Maybe in my top 5 period. I agree with you. Funny though, A Night At the Opera doesn't make my top 5 Queen albums. It is a mater piece. The title track, Show Must Go On. Even Delila (sp?) Anyway his vocal stuns me on that album still and I had it the day it came out

I agree about A Night at the Opera. It’s great but there’s one song I can’t remember the title of that’s kind of droning and goes on way too long that kinda pulls me out of it.

The Prophets Song. Only Queen song I hate. Ruins the whole album almost. That and I can't listen to BoRo with the appreciation it deserves anymore.
