Three favourite Albums.....

[Mrs M]

My favourites change with how I feel.

One I have loved, which I got as a twenty first present, which never goes out of favour is a rendering by The Huddersfield Choral Society of Handel's Messiah.

I have an up to date recording on CD.

[andyn, Bucks]

Tough but if I had to pick three

Whats Going On - Marvin Gaye
Live in New Orlea\ns - Maze
That's The Way of the World - Earth, Wind and Fire

[yesrock, Liverpool]

Close to The Edge---Yes

Tales From Topographic Oceans---Yes

Relayer---Yes.

As you can see a bit of a Yes fan, I was going to see them at the Liverpool Philharmonic next month when they were going to play the whole of the Relayer album.

You have got me playing Layla now!

[ilovesunshine, east yorks]

surprised no one has mentioned Queen or Rolling Stones yet. No particular album, cant choose. The Cream of Clapton is one of my favourites.

[Haworth, Wokingham]

Morning all, haven’t changed my mind yet but I do agree with almost all of the choices, great memories, let’s keep this thread going.

[smtcan, Scarborough]

Eric Clapton - Unplugged
Bob Marley - Legend
Paul Simon - Graceland

[Lawnmowerman, Tain]

I tell you I am loving these replies - fantastic choices everyone.

Oh wow, what a question, loving the ones you've already said. I'll add 3 now which will undoubtedly change the more I think about it.

Arc of a diver -- Steve Winwood, early 80's.

The Promise -- Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Released about 10 years ago, consisting of the lost sessions between Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town in the 70's. Superb.

The Road to Escondido -- JJ Cale and Eric Clapton. If you ever want to hear 2 guitar heroes who are totally in awe of each other, listen to this. The song 'Ride the River' is amazing.

Now I'm looking through all my albums

Just love JJ Cale - only criticism? he seems to get too bored to write a song longer than 2 1/2 minutes! What a craftsman though - outstanding. Very much under-appreciated. Naturally and Troubadour are my favourites.

Bill

[Smith7]

Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits

Out of the Blue - ELO

Sgt. Pepper- Beatles.

[philhar, wallasey]

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road -Elton John
Picture Book -Simply Red
Rumours-fleetwood Mac
Great thread

[Delboy, Essex]

I used to buy compilations, have made up my own playlists on Spotify, not many artists I can listen to a complete album.

However there is one artist I enjoy listening to and it’s soul/blues singer song writer.Beth Hart.

[Victoria, Aberystwyth]

I tended to buy compilations, but one which did get a good airing was Graceland, Paul Simon. I liked every track.

[Lawnmowerman, Tain]

Fairport Convention, Unhalfbricking

Bob Seger, Stranger in Town

Dont need 3, great question

John

I'll have a listen to them - trouble is if I like what I hear then I need to go through their back catalogues!

Don't need 3 - Love it!
