Albums

What is your "favourite" album?

After much deliberation, I considered Led Zep IV, Station to Station (David Bowie), Astaire (Peter Skellern), amongst many others, but I settled on:

"The Heart of Saturday Night", Tom Waits.

What's yours?

A pint of John Smiths, thank you, 0 years!

Hunky Dory...Bowie,
Home thoughts from abroad..Clifford T Ward

Anything by the Searchers.....

Good Choice bassman , one of my favourites is, Meet The Searchers , superb album from August 1963 , especially it's reissue on Castle , with all the bonus tracks

Good thread 0 years , apologies for choosing three ( although could easily have picked ten ) ! 1 Mr Natural : The Bee Gees , Polydor 1974 : 2 Help : The Beatles , Parlophone 1965 . 3 Venus and Mars : Paul McCartney & Wings , Parlophone 1975 .

A very tough one this, so I too would have to pick my top 3

1. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers : The Live Anthology : realised in 2009 on Universal records
2. Tom Petty : Wildflowers : realised in 1994 on Warner Bros records
3. Robin Gibb: St Catherine's Drive : realised in 2014 on Rhino Records

5000 thousand spirits or the layers of the onion...ISB....1967

Same here - sorry for having 3 but:

Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny
Humble Pie - Rockin’ the Fillmore
UFO - The Wild, The Willing & The Innocent

I could pick dozens of albums, but in the interests of brevity and diversity here are my three:-

'Tubular Bells' - Mike Oldfield - a seminal and ground braking multi million seller.
It was followed by 'Hergest Ridge', 'Ommadawn' and 'Incantations', arguably his best compositions.

'All Things Must Pass' - George Harrison - his first solo work after the break-up of the Beatles in 1970.

'Below the Salt' - Steeleye Span - I'm a bit of a folkie so had to include the best folk rock band of all time, just superb.

I completely agree, it is difficult to choose one, so top three it is.

There are some cracking choices in the above posts.

I "youtubed" roylew's choice and the saying "on another planet" doesn't come close.

That’s where they take you...0 years...ask Paul McCartney

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Guilty by Barbara Striesand.

Being a massive springsteen fan id'a said the rising but my all time favourite album is never mind the b*llocks by the sex pistols, the pistols were exactly what the music scene needed raw energy..

Astral Weeks.

Tom Petty's album, ;Damn The Torpedoes'

Fleetwood mack, the originals with Peter green, Oh well, Black magic woman, Albertross etc.

Raymyjamie , All Things Must Pass by George Harrison , would have been in my top five albums

I could have picked all of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers albums as they my favourite band, One more album which is definitely one of my favourites is : Glen Campbell : Meet Glen Campbell : 2008 : on Capitol Records

Songs of Distant Earth by Mike Oldfield. [never tire of listening to it.
