The Rules.Only 1 per artist
20.Transformer -Lou Reed.Perfect Day classic
19.The Doors 67-Marmite band .At their best here
18 Oasis. What the story Morning Glory.Better than a Beatles tribute band here.
17 REM .Automatic for the People .Stella stand out band,not a duff track
16 Neil Young After the Gold Rush.Hard to select just one.
15 Ian Macnabb Head Like a Rock.Criminally underated
14 The Rolling Stones.64.first album and one that started with 2.20 mins of Route 66
13 Ry Cooder Bop Till you drop. His most commercial offering but still outstanding.
12.John Melloncamp. Lonesome Jubilee .Gritty ,rural and in your face.
11.Dire Straights.Brothers in Arms. Knopfler enough to make you smash your Strat
10 Nirvana. Nevermind.Teen Spirit made you stand up rigid.Still powerful.
9. Foo Fighters The Colour and the Shape.Everlong very personal.Did it acoustic at daughter's wedding. Very powerful ,emotional and I love Grohl.
8 Marvin Gaye.What's going on. Best voice in soul.
7 Marley. Legend. Just look at the song list. No woman no cry stopped me in my tracks.
6 Fleet Mac.Rumours.Yeah ya dirty buggers.Me too.OUR album. Say no more
5.Cat Stevens Tea for the Tiller Man.Father and Son -a hard son to sing if you had a tough dad.Whole album of life affirming songs
4.Pnk Floyd Dark Side of the Moon.Simply an album we all looked for and always played at parties .People listened to the music.Really listened.
3 Beatles Sgt Pepper.This hit is kid like a stone and time stood still. It is the zenith of their craft and still discussed in the finest detail even now.It will always be thus.
2 Meat Loaf Bat out of Hell.It really did and still does cut through to the soul.If it doesnt hit you even now then you are emotionally dead
1.Beach Boys Pet Sounds.I bought this is Lewis Lewis Swansea with money I got for passing my O levels. I was a massive Beach Boy fan as I went surfing down Langland and heard Surfing USA in 1964 and the harmony got into my brain and stayed there. Pet Sounds inspired the Beatles to come up with Sgt Peppers whilst Brian Wilson fretted that it might be seen as a greater piece than PS. Both stand the test of time
Thanks for indulging me. It takes some thought does this .It takes you back.
Look forward though | |

Some songs have stopped me dea and made me think but not albums. I've never been that much into one band to buy their albums.
Music is something that's on in the background, when I'm driving usually. If I like it, I just like it even if it's the blandest pop song (according to experts) and though there are some bands I generally like, Queen, ACDC, SLF, most of my albums are compilations. | |

In no defining order
Marvin Gaye-What's going on. "Mercy, mercy me"
Teenage Fanclub-Bandwagonesque. "She wears denim wherever she goes, says she's going to get . some records by the Status Quo". Indie Rock at its finest at most catchiest
Boo Radleys-Giant Steps. Near forgotten psychedelic pop masterpiece from the Wirral.
REM-Life's Rich Pageant. Hard to pick from the first 11 REM LPs, but this was the first I owned and 'Fall on Me" and "Cuyahoga" remain in my Top3 REM songs
Neil Young-After the Goldrush. After all "Only Love can break your heart"
The Smiths-Meat is Murder. Difficult choice again-the first three LPs all have their merits, but I'm probably most likely to sing "Rusholme Ruffians' or "what she said' when cleaning the bathroom later, so get the nod ve the debut and the Queen is Dead
XTC-Apple Venus Volume 1. Again hard choice between a few, but Andy Partridge perhaps remains Britain's great undiscovered songwriting genius.
Cocteau Twins- Treasure. Still as hauntingly beautiful as it was when I was sixteen
Pixies-Surfer Rosa. A great unhinged pop record with amazing Steve Albini production. 'There were rumours he was into field hockey players...."
Wedding Present-Seamonsters. Leeds' finest greatest (and loudest) LP also recorded by Steve Albini. Described as akin to 'sandpapering your ears" in the NME at time of release. Still sounded great live last month.
Beastie Boys-Licence to ill. Rich NYC boys produce the gateway drug to hip hop. Help open the door in the UK for Run DMC, Public Enemy, LL Cool J and Mantronix. A golden age of innovation and songs not about shooting, ho's or cars but of social conscience and fun.
Kitchen of Distinction-Strange Free World. Most obscure choice, but a band I loved and this was the best of their five LPs.
Manic Street Preachers-Everything must Go. A sad and optimistic record. A sound track of change in my life that was for the better. And Mrs Prof's favourite
Beatles-Revolver. Always a better LP for me that Sgt Pepper's. Starts with 'Taxman' and ends with ' Tomorrow Never Nows'. And threw down the gauntlet for .....
Beach Boys-Pet Sounds. Brian Wilson's work of genius fulled bye competition to better the Beatles. Perhaps the greatest pop LP ever? 'God Only knows'
The Fall- The wonderful and frightening world of The Fall. Again could have picked a whole slew of MES and the gang. But agin, the first one I bought after seeing Michael Clarks' arse dancing to "Lay of the Land' on Whistle Test. ' Two little girls with only 50p, they had to take, they had to put the Curly Wurly back"
Echo and the Funnymen-Ocean Rain. Best LP from Liverpool's shrinking violets.
New Order-Power, Corruption and Lies. Take a sequencer and give it to a bunch of Mancunian miserabists.
Joy Division-Closer. The hardest choice. Pre-40 would always have gone for 'Unknown Pleasures' but age and reflection take it to this. Twenty Four Hours.
As Cat says plenty of bands and artists who I really where the LP is too patchy for me or I have developed antipathy (Stone Roses for example) -so perhaps a list of songs for New Year? | | | |
