Onliest Smeg David Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I've just been taking a chill out break from sitting at the computer working.... Wouldn't say a favourite album, but arrived in the post yesterday and on first listen it's a good 'proper' Long Player / Album that pulls you along a story that captures you from start to finish. Demands listening to as a whole piece, not a jumble of unrelated tracks. .... this album brought this thread back into my thoughts so here you are! 1 Quote

AndrewBClarke Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Best albums - Floyd (Animals, Dark Side and The Wall), Dire Straits (Love over Gold), Queen, Adele 19, Peter Gabriel, Foreigner 4. Best live - Floyd The Wall. Brilliant concept album. 1981 and 1985 in Earls Court. Roger Waters in 2016 with the updated high tech version. Dire Straits anniversary gig in Bridlington Spa in about 1980 on the tour which ended with several sell out Wembley gigs. Queen with Adam Lambert in 2018. Worst concert - absolutely no doubt - Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells. Wembley Arena and the sound quality was atrocious. Second worst is a toss up between The Beech Boys at Knebworth or Rolling Stones at Wembley Stadium. Most educational - Alice Cooper at Hammersmith Odeon. High just on the smell on the way in. Quote

I admire any artist or group who is ground breaking and definitely Floyd did that. I worked on David Gilmours sound studio on his boat in Twickenham. Nice bloke. One of my many claims to fame and a good name to drop in a dinner conversation 😀 2 Quote
Maurici- CleaR Motorsport Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Ian Tolfree (tolf) - WSCC AO Rep said: Brothers in Arms- Dire Straits Yep. One of my best favourites too... However, I listen such an array of different styles and ages... that if I was forced to choose one, I wouldn't be able to do so. I would only settle for a single album that had Something from metallica, nirvana, oasis, Foo Fighters, Clapton, hendrix, Free, Tina Turner, Phill collins, Mark Knofler, radiohead, Muse, Toto, Supertramp, led zeppelin, and many many others I really need in my mood depending playlists...

GaryH Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 If it's really just one album, I'd have go for, Ian Dury - New Boots and Panties!! Gary Quote
BigSkyBrad Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Was flicking back through the thread. @Dave (OnliestSmeg) - Manchester AO As a fan of Americana music, I had heard The Civil Wars before, and I've spent the last hour on youtube listening to them. Didn't know they had four Grammys though! 1 Quote

Favourite album of the moment is one my son bought me for Christmas. Only got round to listening to it this week and I never thought I was in to musical theatre, but I love this. The Book of Mormon. Don't listen to it if you're easily offended. Quote
