Re: Classic Album education.
Just to add even more... there's no way that you could miss a good bit of Bowie or Prince and then there's Roxy Music and T Rex.

Re: Classic Album education.
Well this has been a huge success.
I spent several hours last night listening to some of these and doing the massive Christmas jigsaw and life was good.
So far:
Rumours - So many good songs on there.
Black Sabbath - So good I listened twice!
Smiths Greatest Hits - Some great stuff in there.
Let it Bleed - Brilliant.
Sade - Not so keen which is a real pity as she lives next door.
Golden Earring - Totally awesome.
ZZ Top Deguello - Can't believe I've not heard their early stuff before, awesome.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - This was already my favourite album of all time and Jas is probably already sick of it.
I will listen to all of them in the coming days and most will filter down to my little girl too.
Thanks all.

Re: Classic Album education.
Couldn't agree more, I'm afraid I found Sade too slick and the overall sound manufactured and over produced, for me at least.Brenhden wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 11:16 am Well this has been a huge success.

Golden Earring still lighting my fire 40 odd years on.
Plus loads of other selections for us all to get our teeth into.
Another suggestion
Faith Healer , Alex harvey. Just the track
And on a different tack Labelle, Chamelion. The title track and onwards. 25.00>>

Re: Classic Album education.
Got to agree, some great choices on the list, but before we forget what about something from The Beatles?
Abbey Road or Let It Be are up there in my book.
What about some Dylan? Blood On The Tracks.

Re: Classic Album education.
Not wishing to be a clever dick but the Sade album was recorded using live instruments rather than produced with studio techniques. The resulting ‘production sound’ of the album is because the original instrument players and her voice were so good and way ahead of what other bands could achieve without a lot of help from the mixing desk.
It’s probably why it sounds so slick but it’s a virtual live album, albeit recorded in a studio rather than on tour .

Re: Classic Album education.
I could send some files over to you if need be too. I've got over 500 albums, small amount compared to some people i know, on my laptop and phone.
