Your top 10 albums......!!!

[Fretless]

I was around 11 or 12 when Out of the Blue came to my attention Jammy and was drawn as much to the sci-fi gatefold as I was the music. It was around the same time as Star Wars, so sci-fi was all the rage at school. Time was a great LP too, but I also have a soft spot for Secret Messages and Balance of Power...

'New World Record' did it for me - still think it's their best.

Not my actual 10 favourite albums, but if I had to pick ten to "live with" to the exclusion of all others then there'd have to be some compilations and live albums to collect as many great tracks by these particular artists as possible.

In no particular order...

1 - Harry Chapin : Greatest Stories Live
2 - Pink Floyd : Pulse
3 - Tom Russell : Borderland
4 - Emmylou Harris : Portraits
5 - Tangerine Dream : The Virgin Years 1977-1983
6 - David Bowie : Nothing Has Changed
7 - Traffic : Far From Home
8 - Tom Waits : Small Change
9 - Warren Zevon : Excitable Boy
10 - Al Stewart - Just Yesterday

This list will of course change radically from day to day.

[Classicrock]

Who's Next. The Who.
Abbey Road. Beatles.
Tea For The Tillerman. Cat Stevens.
Wish You Were Here. Pink Floyd.
Hunky Dory. David Bowie.
Desperado. The Eagles.
Band On The Run. Wings.
LA Woman. Doors.
461 Ocean Boulevard. Eric Clapton.
Harvest. Neil Young.

Easily interchangeable with at least ten others. No room for newer stuff as I can't think of anything that beats the classics.
