Some of the younger STWers will probably need to have the concept of "a music album" explained to them!All that they know is itunes...
Hear something on a dodgy late-night radio channel with your transistor under the pillow, get down to the local record shop next day, sift through all the vinyl, chat to the man behind the counter to find out what the album's called, order it, wait excitedly and impatiently for a few days, get it home and onto the record player. Yeahhh!!
Or... catch something on a you-choob link on an internet forum then download...

& then find out it's the wrong album! I'm thinking Yo! Bum Rush the Show vs. It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. & me not confident enough to take it back. But My Uzi Weighs A Ton!
In a moment of nostalgia I recently dug out Sign O The Times by Prince. It holds up remarkably well.
Rush - Hemispheres. Got it on Spotify as I type. I have the original vinyl version at home. "Now the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe and saw".
@noteeth - restored my faith there. Classic album. I never forgot about it though 🙂
Just going through a load of old CD's at the mo.
International Velvet by Catatonia is still excellent, as are all the Cornershop albums.
Astronomy for Dogs by the Aliens should have been huge too.
Only up to the 'c''s, more later!
Fantastic thread... Just digging through the collection now for some tunes for tonight! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Dug the first Happy Mondays album out othe other week, Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out), there's some belters on there.
morcheeba - Big Calm
hadn't heard it for donkeys, every track's good.
Seconded, amazing album.

Thirded!
Takes me back to the summer of 98 when I met my wife!
Listened to Dark side of the Moon tonight......still grips me after 25 years
I've got 'Way Beyond Blue', which I love to bits, and a whole bunch of singles, but not the later albums. I'll have to get them off Amazon sometime, then I can get Cerys to sign them next time she tours.International Velvet by Catatonia is still excellent.
Got everything else of hers signed, so I might as well complete the set... 😀
Stranglers Rattus Norvegicus and No more Heroes Dave Greenfield is a genius
just dug out some visage....was expecting it to be crap....still really like it!
depeche mode are still rather jolly as well. That's tomorrows commuting soundtrack sorted,what a top thread.
Big Country " The Crossing" ,absolutely brilliant album, timeless!!! Not an album but a couple of 12" singles l recently dug out by White China , Smiles and jokes and Real World ,awesome tracks!!!

Every now and again this pops up on my random play and blows whatever I was previously listening to out of the water.
Simply sublime.

Lots of good stuff mentioned but +100 for the goats. Brilliant album and of my favorite hip hop albums ever. Got it on vinyl somewhere - off to look for it now! If that's your bag and you don't know it get yourself over to Spotify now. Off you go.
It all started with this for me :
