My youth

My most listened to I reckon

His second one was very good too, with a story running through the whole album that is resolved by the end. But this one was revolutionary.

I remember asking a schoolmate what was a Deep Purple concert like, the reply was with great excitement "It was like the biggest f***ing stereo you have ever seen".  That comment still tickles me today.

Goes without saying:

Agreed. I can remember sitting next to my mate Neil at school reading the lyrics from the cassette he had just brought of this album. Loved the Jam...

Only album my Dad ever bought as a kid/teenager. At one point living at home we had about three or four copies of it in the house between me, my mum and my dad.

My teenage years had this on repeat, still do now to be fair, every track is excellent

The Specials by the Specials obviously.

Not sure its my favourite DM album, but it was around their peak

One of my favourites

We’ve been spoilt for choice over the past 40+ years.

If pushed, with a gun to my head I might have to nominate that as my favourite Jam album. It's a tough one though, like a parent being forced to name their favourite child...

I agree it’s a difficult choice to make especially as we had so much to choose from. Sadly bands/musicians are slowly disappearing and being replaced by remixes on computers.

And yet, bands are utterly brilliant....and massively popular....I mean, Oasis FFS... I suppose anyone today in theory can make a massive hit record/download/whatever you want to call it...

Thankfully we don’t have to listed to Westlife & Boyzone anymore :D

Praise the Lord....

 :clap:

Like fine wines these two have aged very well and still essential listening.

Ahead of its time

Had to include John Coltrane's classic album which includes his tribute to Charlie Parker  - "Mr PC", last track.

Just listen to this and close the thread now.

Love it.

The GOAT, Django Rheinhardt - Buddy Holly's Crickets line up was based on Django Rheinhardt's Hot Club line-up.  The Beatles based their line-up on the Crickets, hence their name.  On Sunday afternoon in Hyde Park, Jeff Lynnes ELO will play their final concert, a band dscribed as "The Beatles on Steroids".  Now, that's a legacy!

I'll never get tired of listening to Never Going Back Again

I knew "Rumours" was going to show up on this thread - never get tired of listening to "The Chain".  Apparently, if you ever visit Maui in the Hawaian Islands and see an old Austin 7 putting around, it belongs to Mick Fleetwood.

Can't leave out Dire Straits.

Genius this

This is an absolute gem of an album.  The Notting Hillbillies led by Mark Knofler  -  Missing...Presumed Having a Good Time.  Entire album is not on youTube.  The link is first of a playlist.  Authentic American music played briliantly.

Still love this album. My memory has me going into Music Market by the Brunel Plaza to buy it and hearing World Service by Spear of Destiny being played in the shop. Left with them both and remember it as one of the better music purchasing days of my life

The Cure - The Head on the Door

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMxy067kbpQh1ikcEXB4vUjERRxRjT2BM&si=NObcC5VW_6vXuOvJ

Love head on the door but my preference of Cure albums is

The Traveling Wilburys - Volume 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og75Wrez1pE&list=PLsAa4RFXVnxgnufbUvLEfo7BwqV60lWn_

In the age of streaming i rarely stick a whole album on, did with this tonight. Unbelievable. Be 14 years ago she died next week.

Very sad all around, such a fantastic talent.  This is a great album totally belonging in this thread.

Coming up 14 years sober then

Came out in 1985 and I bought it as a 15 year old getting into music. Loved it. 1985 was a great year. Saw them 2 years later at Birmingham NEC.

Harsh. But. Fair.

I never realised you came out in 1985 :)
