I did Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here on the weekend. I don’t listen to them often but every time I do they blow me away. Just amazing albums on so many levels.

Isn’t that the natural order of your cds?
Anyway, been away from here for a bit and now there’s 100+ posts in a best albums thread. Just been through it (the DJ thread can wait). Some great stuff. Interesting TMBG discussion. Agree with whoever said they didn’t really get their stuff after Apollo 18. I’m not sure that Lincoln isn’t my favourite though. Need to think about it.
I’ll get a top 10 soon.
Probably not the top 10 though
The order in which you bought / got them, I believe.
My man.
Any track from this album reminds me of a party I was at in the early 2000s where this was playing and I was on the periphery of a loud and lengthy discussion that I can best describe as “punk music gatekeeping”. Just about came to blows when I chimed in with my views on the whole concept of what is/isn’t punk making as much sense as “giving anarchy a score out of 10”.
Upon reflection the aggression I received might have been more about the extra adjectives I used.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to his thread! It has given me heaps of new albums and artists to discover, as well as reminding me of many of my old favourites.
As with most people, their favourite things stick with them all of their life, so most of my favourite albums are from my first 25 years on earth.
I apologise in advance for my early onset “decimal Alzheimer’s” but I will try my best. Here goes…

Yep. You can guess everyone’s age to within 5 years based on their list.
My list is more or a less “most played”. There’s a couple on there that I don’t reckon I’ve listened to in years, but are on there by sheer virtue of how much airtime they got in my younger years.

Astral Weeks has really dropped off for me.

Last night I had interupted sleep with broken dreams of Maynard…Chris Cornell…Bruce Dickenson…Ray Gillan and so many others screaming at me…“WHY?”…until Carol King flew in on a winged unicorn that had a remarkable resemblence to Adele, and carried me away to her safe haven.

Should make it interesting and do top 50 as most of us have more music than sense!
Perhaps you need that balance to enjoy Blitz!
tasty!
