But first 3 albums are my favourite for last 20y
It reminded me it’s been a year since I posted anything here. Going with a soundtrack album but it’s a good one. Fifty years since the film was released, the blu ray is worth a purchase as well. The record is one belting reggae track after another, Johnny Too Bad, Pressure Drop, Shanty Town and Draw Your Brakes would be my top four tracks but the album doesn’t really put a foot wrong for me.
Obviously, I hope, Qobuz & Spotify (free) are also included for the benefit of all
I saw this, underage as it was an 18, in my home town. I thought it was tough where I lived until I saw this, quite an eye opener for a 16 year old.
Bizarrely, it was a double feature with Carwash.
I’ve lived with this album for 40 years now, I still have the vinyl version I bought when it was released in 1982. Even after all these years it still has me dancing around my living room. The album fades a bit towards the end but side one (tracks 1 - 6) is just stunning.
Been a Sting fan since his Police days…This is a pretty good album as he keeps reinventing his genre…
Just reigniting a topic created by @Sloop_John_B.
I have to put this in my Desert Island Disc choices. I’ve loved this album ever since I bought it in 1978. Listening again yesterday it seems that the UK, at least, is still a million miles away from resolving many issues addressed on this album. The songs are all great btw
I don’t have Tidal, so cannot confirm if it is available on there, but the Qobuz version needs to address the spelling of Grey
My top 5 (or so) rock albums would include Revolver and Rubber Soul. The first 2 albums I owned also remain among my favorites (Disraeli Gears and The Byrds Greatest Hits). These are among the albums I’ve continued to play for decades without growing tired of them. The next tier would include too many to rank, and the ranking probably would change every time I revisited it.
Among classical recordings, one of my favorites is Frederica Von Stade singing Songs of the Auvergne, Royal Philharmonia Orchestra, Antonio De Almeida, CBS Masterworks.
Oh, and now is almost the time of year to break out “What If Mozart Wrote ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’” (Hampton String Quartet).
Love it, although my favorite is Kyuss’ Blue for the Red Sun Album. Unbelievable.
Perhaps not my favourite, but a damn fine piece of work by Matt Johnson, who, on being asked about the rising price of albums (LPs, CDs) said something along the lines of “I don’t think 8 pounds is a lot to ask in exchange for 8 months of my life”.
Listen to “The Beat(en) Generation” and marvel at this guy’s prescience - it was written in 1989 but is so, so today.
In my “Top Ten” as well, with me since all those years as all the other stuff Matt did / does. It’s amazing how brutally accurate the album’s content still is today.
