[matthewpiano]

My top ten albums is fairly fluid and changes regularly although there are one or two stalwarts that have become re-curring themes. This excludes classical recordings as I'd find it impossible if it didn't!

Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker - Fire & Fortune

Strawbs - Hero & Heroine

Steeleye Span - Wintersmith

Camel - Moonmadness

Wishbone Ash - Argus

Ralph McTell - Not Till Tomorrow

Queen - Queen II

Barclay James Harvest - Everyone Is Everybody Else

Kate Bush - The Dreaming

Supertramp - Breakfast in America

2. Whitesnake - Slip of the Tongue

7. Metallica - Black album

8. Sade - Diamond Life

Nirvana - Nevermind

Good call. I've now swapped Nickleback - Silver side Up for this.

 

[margetti]

AC/DC - Back in Black

How did I forget AC/DC?

I've now removed Bon Jovi - Cross Road from my list and replaced it with AC/DC. :rockout:

I have the house to myself until tomorrow afternoon, the neighbours are away, and I've got this belting out right now! :rockout: :dance: :cheer:

 

[margetti]

Pearl Jam - Ten

Yep, Flight of the Conchords will have to make way on my list for this

 

[steve_1979]

Pearl Jam - Ten

Yep, Flight of the Conchords will have to make way on my list for this

Pearl Jam - Ten was a close call but I can't think of anything on my list that I'd be willing to knock off to make space for it.

 

[Edmeister]

AC/DC - Back in Black

I think we can all agree that AC/DC sounds best played at high volumes ;-)

C'mon, how is this HI-FI related? Never occured to you there might be some kind of musical section on the forum?

[Sospri]

Of course this is HI-FI related,

I dunno what you play on yours........

 

[matthewpiano]

C'mon, how is this HI-FI related? Never occured to you there might be some kind of musical section on the forum?

Without music hi-fi would be irrelevant. Sometimes it is good to have a music thread amongst all the equipment related ones to remind us all what the whole thing is all about.

 

[steve_1979]

This excludes classical recordings as I'd find it impossible if it didn't!

Agreed.

Mozart - Readers Digest Favourites From The Classics almost made it into my list together with a few Carmignola albums.

 

[Al ears]

Not a jazz recording in sight I see. 🙂

You might like to add Leonard Cohen 'Old Ideas' and Jennifer Warnes 'The Well' to the list

Along with Carole King 'Tapestry', etc etc

 

[MakkaPakka]

I cannot understand why Kate Bush's Hounds of Love is not on there.
