sadoldgit Posted 23 August, 2014 Share Posted 23 August, 2014 Loved Grand Prix. Put a wedding playlist together last week and realised just how much great music is out there. I could do a different 5 every week but The Beatle's Revolver will probably remain my best of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Saint Posted 23 August, 2014 Share Posted 23 August, 2014 Beach Boys - Sunflower Teenage Fanclub - Grand Prix Paul Weller - Wild Wood Dexys Midnight Runners - Don't Stand Me Down Squeeze - Eastside Story Good choice - apart from Pet Sounds, probably their best album. Overlooked and under-rated. Better than Surf's Up, the very successful LP that followed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eesti matty Posted 24 August, 2014 Share Posted 24 August, 2014 I like Sunflower because it has contributions, both vocally and in terms of the songwriting, from all of the members whereas they didn't have as much input with Pet Sounds, especially Dennis. I agree with you about Surf's Up. I like most of the songs but am not too keen on Student Demonstration Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeintheslowlane Posted 24 August, 2014 Share Posted 24 August, 2014 (edited) I agree with you about Surf's Up. I like most of the songs but am not too keen on Student Demonstration Time. But as a single track "Surfs Up" itself is IMO at the pinnacle of everything they ever did..."Columnated ruins domino" indeed. Off topic but what the heck.

lifeintheslowlane Posted 24 August, 2014 Share Posted 24 August, 2014 Do you prefer the Surf's Up (Carl) or Smile (Brian) version? The video version has Brian on vocals, (from the Smile sessions) but I have to say I prefer the album version with Carl on vocals as it was the one I grew up with.

Saint Luke Posted 27 November, 2014 Share Posted 27 November, 2014 Marillion - Brave - The Brave tour was awesome and probably one of the most mesmerising gigs I've been to. Vangelis - Soundtrack to Bladerunner - Recorded by Vangelis himself and released years after the film Pink Floyd - Wish you were here Journey - Infinity Elton John - Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy This is seriously difficult as it could be a different 5 each day depending on how I'm feeling. I would say that on a day to day basis I listen to generally heavier rock than most of this but all of the above are albums i would turn to if stuck for something to chose. Would have like to get a BJH album in there - probably Eyes of the universe Massive fan of Bon jovi but can't pick one and a bit disallusioned with their current status. More recent loves are Within Temptation and Delain - but top 5 - I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 27 November, 2014 Share Posted 27 November, 2014 Think I missed this one. I'll try to avoid going for classics from before my era and pick out the ones that were of my time and meant something to me. Giant Steps - The Boo Radleys The Stone Roses Hatful of Hollow - The Smiths Favourite Worst Nightmare - Arctic Monkeys The Bends -Radiohead I know Hatful of Hollow is strictly a compilation, so probably shouldn't be allowed, but it was the only Smiths record I had at the time and completely changed music for me. Giant Steps is in my opinion the greatest album ever made, but is largely an unknown classic. The band then went on to accidentally have a throwaway pop hit, which strangely enough caused them to implode. Giant Steps is a real journey of an album though and was completely out of nowhere. stone Roses and Arctic Monkeys were big enough to speak for themselves, just albums full of incredible songwriting. I preferred The Bends to the more commonly lauded OK Computer, because for me, that was where they started to disappear up their own arses, rather than just make great songs.

Unbelievable Jeff Posted 28 November, 2014 Share Posted 28 November, 2014 I just couldn’t do 5, so here are a number of influential albums in my life: ZZ Top - Eliminator: “She’s got legs. Knows how to use them”. ‘Nuff said Billy, ‘nuff said. Radio Soulwax/2 Many DJ’s – As Heard on Radio Soulwax Part 2: Genius, genius album by the best mash-up DJ’s out there. If you have never listened to Soulwax/2 Many Dj’s, use this to pop your cherry, it really is one of the best albums out there. Pink Floyd – Wish you were here: Only ahead of DSOTM due to ‘Shine on You Crazy Diamond’. 27 minutes of wizardry. Iron Maiden – Iron Maiden: Bought it from a charity shop when at College in 2000. Loved every minute of it. More proggy than any of their other albums, Di’Anno on vocals. Phantom of the Opera a clear highlight. Roots Manuva – Run Come Save Me: Named after a Surrey-based tree removal company (or maybe that’s the other way round), Roots Manuva is THE single coolest man in British Hip Hop, and ‘Witness (1Hope)’ is one of the greatest Hip-Hop tracks – period. King Crimson – Court of the Crimson King: “Cat’s foot, iron claw, neuro-surgeons scream for more, at paranoia’s poison door, 21st Century Schizoid Man”. Leftfield – Leftism: The greatest house album of all time. Bass that’ll make ceilings fall-down (as has happened twice at the Brixton Academy). Got plaster in my pint. Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned more. Chemical Brothers – Dig Your Own Hole: The album that made them famous. Block Rockin’ Beat, Setting Sun etc. Great tracks, great vocals, just great. Notable mentions to: Radiohead – The Bends Blur – Blur Ocean Colour Scene – Moseley Shoals Muse - Absolution A number of Pink Floyd albums A number of Led Zeppelin albums Toto – IV Pulp – Different Class Beastie Boys – Ill Communication or Hello Nasty Metallica - …And Justice for all Rage Against the Machine – Rage Against the Machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to your mum...as we all know she knows best If you're in touch with your emotions this could quite quite possibly reduce you to a blubbering wreck...it does me every time. For those who are unaware Astor Piazzolla was the Jimi Hendrix* of modern Tango. *Poor analogy but a spectacular innovator.
