harvest - Neil young Santana -Abraxis James gang - James gang rides again Blind faith album Cat Stevens- Teaser and the firecat E.L.P. -pictures at an exhibition Yes album Crosby stills nash& young - 4 way street John prine album strawbs - from the witchwood Canned heat - living the blues Jethro Tull-thick as a brick Bad company album Stones -excile on main st Family -burlesque Humble pie -rocking the Fillmore Hendrix -electic ladyland Donovan- best of I'm being greedy now I applaud your gluttony, some great picks there. Electric Ladyland is worth saving for the title and the cover alone. {The double vinyl is indeed a thing of beauty.} Love the first few tracks on the Strawbs album. I heard that the album was written in Devon, so I did a stretch of the Coastal path with it on a Walkman. First track 'Glimpse of Heaven', nearly blew me head off. Don't know if the story of where it was penned is true, but it worked. Blind Faith are great, and thanks for reminding me about this.... Class.... The strawbs featuring a young lad named rick wakeman , Humble pie were much underrated . Steve Marriott was a brilliant talent

If you insist. The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd. First album, took me ten years to understand it. My daughter and I love listening to it together on the drive to Stoke games. It's special for all sorts of reasons related to moments of my life, but that's the one for now. My daughter prefers "Rock Lobster" by the B-52's. I know the words too. She laughs her head off at me being a complete tool. So You never see her without a grin on her face?

It's difficult to pin it down to one album. I'd try my best to stuff a record box full and escape with a clutch. Music depends on the mood, if the boat was sinking I reckon I'd be pretty pissed off so the album I'd save would reflect that. Something a bit angry: Stations of the Crass - Crass Inflammable Material - Stiff Little Fingers Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables - Dead Kennedys London Calling - The Clash Any of those would do for me although if only one was allowed it would have to be London Calling for the sheer diversity of the songs.

I genuinely like Sandinista as much as London Calling, if not slightly more (admittedly it's a tad more experimental, but I quite like that). Both great shouts, as have many others that have been mentioned, particularly The Stones Exile on Main St.
Ocean Rain (Echo and the Bunnymen) Up at the Lake (The Charlatans) L.A Woman (The Doors) Closer (Joy Division)

Interesting that no one has rescued any Bob Dylan stuff yet.
I was musing over which live album I'd bother with. It's a confusing concept. Gigs are gigs. Albums are albums, Never really understood the need for both. The live stuff should always remain as bootlegs.
...and then I thought.. 'Stop Making Sense', and 'The name of this band is...' Talking Heads.
but Johnny Cash nailed the LIVE album for me... 'San Quinten....

Surely Dylan unplugged needs a mention I jest but I always liked the nirvana unplugged effort, was very good IMO. I thought it was At Folsom Prison that everyone liked by Johnny Cash? I've got it but can't say I care much for it really, it's okay I suppose. Can I have Pulse by Pink Floyd? I know it's essentially The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon, with a few additions but it is pretty fantastic all the same.

Live albums IMO are not always that good due to poor recording , digital sound and DvDs have largely overcome that problem these days

Impossible to decide !!!
Struggling to seperate AC/DC If you want blood,Motorhead No sleep 'til Hammersmith,UFO Strangers in the night and Rainbow Live on stage (mainly for the brilliant versions of Kill the King and Man on the silver mountain).
Studio wise Zep 2,4 and Physical Graffiti, GnR Appetite for destruction,AC/DC Powerage,Motorhead Overkill and Rainbow Rising!

I'm all for eclectisim squire but I'm afraid my musical magnet ain't sensitive to much metal. Motorhead, Sabbath, Zepp, Lizzy but no WoNBM {or whatever it is /was} garbage. Iron Maiden, Rainbow, Whitesnake no ta.
You surprise me, a man who appreciates ACR could countenance the Patchoulli-isms of Blackmore and his mob.
Metal, give me....

Don't mind a bit of Iron Butterfly, it's the Saxon, Judas Priest types who seem to take themselves far too seriously I can't get on with.

Been to Cropredy every year since '98, really laid back festival great to take kids to.
It's worth going to observe the real hardcore folkies mainly social workers and economics lecturer types,they take themselves very seriously!
Some folk music is great especially old Fairport but there ain't half a lot of crap about.
The good thing about Cropredy is although it's essentially sold as a folk festival there are loads of different musical genres on all weekend.
Well worth a weekend in August, met a few Stokies there as well!

I last went in 1987. It's good to see that it hasn't changed. It really is a nice and relaxed place to be.

Hawkwind-a space ritual
30 odd years later and they are performing it again tomorrow night at the shepherds bush empire
Many a night in my youth stoned and playing all 4 sides and losing myself in another dimension.

Space Ritual is a good shout. Maybe Beefheart's Safe as Milk for me though. Every track is the track you can't wait to hear.

Iron Maiden, Rainbow, Whitesnake no ta. You surprise me, a man who appreciates ACR could countenance the Patchoulli-isms of Blackmore and his mob. Metal, give me.... Rainbow are the "new cool" in metal Cheesey and "Rising" is one of the punchiest, brassiest albums (of any genre) you'll ever hear. With breakneck beats as fast as drum & bass it's very different to the rest of the shite (like Whitesnake, Judas Priest) that was around at the time. Give it a listen and you'll fall under its spell...it's solid gold and is correctly regarded as a classic, my only slight beef would be the amount of "flying wizards" and "goblins" popping up a bit too often in the lyrics, but get past that and it's pretty much perfect. Cozy Powell was at his brilliant best and you'll never hear drums recorded so well (Ian Paice on Machine Head comes close) on an album from that era and Ronnie James Dio's stunning power and vocal range has never been so well captured. Richie Blackmore, no matter what you think of him, is a genius and master of his craft. Up until the end of the seventies, nobody had written better metal hooks and riffs. This is the guy who wrote "Smoke on the Water". Of course when Eddie Van Halen came along, things went to the next level, but you're making a big mistake if you're showing prejudice to this album. There are very few things i'd ever say i'm proficient in, but I know metal inside out and "Rising" is a gem from that particular era. I'm challenging you to give it a try, start to finish.

It's not important what Blackmore's character is like ....for me he is the finest guitarist of his era .....Rising is superb , sadly Ritchie saw the dollar signs in front of his eyes not long after and took the group ( and it's ever changing line up ) in that AOR direction and while they were still good they never achieved anything approaching the greatness of Rising again

"Captain Lockheed & The Starfighters" by Robert Calvert (essentially Hawkind) is the best concept album of all time.
