Not in Crawley Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 (edited) Classic albums..... Right I've been doing a bit of listening to classic albums that either have passed me by or only listened to a few times. I'm going by the rationale that the whole album is outstanding not just one or two songs, is generally considered to be a classic of its genre (so it doesn't have to have sold by the bucketload) but changed that type of music or had a vast influence on other musicians as wwell, was a game changer etc Wondered what people's selections where? Underrated albums that did nowt for anyone but you and your mates when you were 14 don't count. Currently listening to The Flying Burrito Brother's The Gilded Palace of Sin, its a belter - but then I love Gram Parsons, and I can't believe I've never listened to Suicide much before either.

Not in Crawley Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 6 minutes ago, Cheese said: Can almost guarantee you'll shit on anything anyone suggests... Oh, I see. I think that's more of a myth than a reality. If I don't like something, its only my opinion, doesn't affect anyone else's love of it. And I'd never say I don't like something if I've never heard it. Love being convinced otherwise, I've got a mate who writes pop biogs - Daryl Eastlea - what that man doesn't know about pop music, even had me rhapsodising about the value of The Black Eyed Peas 😀 he has yet to change my mind about Abba like. His new book on Slade should be good though, been actually listening to their albums rather than just the singles - so much more than I thought to the band. I still have an issue with Kraftwerk though as my mrs' Ex wrote the one of the definative biogs about them, and still annoys me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 This Is The Story by The Proclaimers is an oft overlooked classic LP, could possibly put up an argument that one track is a bit fillerish but it could be countered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout. That album and them always remind me of my mum going to Uni as a mature student. This and then First of A Thousand Kisses by Fairground Attraction which she always played when her fellow students came round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Not much take up with the classic LP and I don't want to be shouting at the moon but I'll throw in Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes which is 40 years old this year and which ticks all the boxes. Slight tangent but NIC did get me thinking along the lines of inheritance tracks and I've not decided which LP I would force everyone to listen to if I could make it happen for one LP. If you've got to choose one what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've certainly heard of The Byrds and, now you mention they were Bob Dylan's favourite band, the name of the band does ring a bell Mannequin Pussy and The Flying Burrito Brothers, phenomenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite bands (and not because of the name but obviously helps) is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - who I'm a bit giddy about as they are playing the Wide Awake Festival in Brockwell Park next summer which is only 5 stops on the train. Feels like they are going to be playing in my back garden. Very excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
