Youri McAnespie Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier - I still love this LP, first music that felt my own, not long out of nappies. Michael Jackson - Thriller/Bad - I won't bullshit and swerve/deny this one - everyone my age loved Jacko before, well, y'know... Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction - got me into metal AND drinking - I've often thought of legal action... Slayer - Reign In Blood - led me down a more extreme path that led to total devotion to 'the scene'; tape trading, record collecting obsessively, gigs, guitars, doing a 'zine, meeting and interviewing and writing to bands - it cost me any female attention though Primal Scream - Screamadelica - turned me from the previous path onto all electronica, Mondays, Roses, Tricky, Leftfield, Underworld, Detroit, Chicago, 808 State, New Order - the lot...(I also got my hair cut, smartened myself up, got some female attention finally ) Edited August 17, 2018 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatles - anthology Motown gold - various Struggling for a 5th, probably some donk tastic mix from monroes in the early 2000s with MC Turbo.

frank_spencer Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 I love the fact that loads of us have picked albums from 'before our time' which shows how good music doesn't age. Lots of albums and artists sound terrible 10yrs later, but the best are still great no matter when you hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that theme if I could cheat and add a sixth it'd be The Rolling Stones - Beggars' Banquet R.S.V.P. - because it made me realise the value of music made before my lifetime and ignited the seeking out of more of this 'before my time' music...

Burndens Bogs Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I'm probably a tad older than most of you lot, but here goes - The Sex Pistols - Nevermind the Bollocks. After years of dog dirt pop Like Abba and Boney M, it is was like a breath of fresh air to a 17 year old lad. Stiff Litle Fingers - Imflammable Material. This album blew me away at the time, i'd never heard lyrics like it. The Buzzcocks - Spiral Scratch EP - I must have worn it out. The Clash self penned debut album - The Clash, at the time i thought Joe Strummer was the greatest front man that ever lived. The Jam - All Mod Cons, Weller at his angry youthful best. Fuck, it was great being 17/18 in those days. I wasn't even a punk :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 You must be about 3 or 4 years older than me Inflammable Material was going to be my 5th album but I couldn’t miss AC/DC with Bon Scott Joe Strummer WAS the best front man ever!!
