Just a random 3 off the top of the head.
led zep- mothership
bt- rare & remixed
purity ring -shrines
The Jam, All Mod Cons
The Who, Quadrophenia
Damon Albarn, Everyday Robots
(today), tho' I've just bought my missus the vinyl of Sinead O'Connor's Lion and the Cobra and damn, that's a powerful debut album
Led Zep 3
Pearl jam -Ten
Manic's - Everything must go, (or Gen terr, close call)
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger would be in there but I can't listen to any of CC's work at the mo, it breaks my heart.
The Black Crowes: Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. Most listened to album in my collection, owned it on cassette, CD and vinyl. Fantastic example of guitar weaving (ask Keef and Woody) and soulful keys by the late great Eddie Harsch.
Portishead.
Sounds like nothing else.
Neil Young: After the Goldrush.
Worth it for Southern Man alone.
Arvo Part - Kanon Pokajanen
Gillian Welch- Boots No 1
Miles - in a Silent Way
Or what Steve said up there.
I could have those 3 as well
You can have them, I think I've changed my mind already. I forgot Let it Bleed, or Blood on the Tracks or King Creosote....
Done and... Dusted, by the Dust Junkies,
Neon Handshake, by Hell Is For Heroes
First Love, by Emmy The Great
For the next 5 minutes, anyway. But those 3 will always definitely be in the top 500
The The - Soul Mining
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
Belly - Star
I'm certainly going to listen to some of the above...
Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage
Pink Floyd - Echoes
The Clash - London Calling
Christ, I don’t even know where to start!
At the moment, off the top of my head:
Arcade Fire [i]Funeral[/i]
Talk Talk [i]It’s My Life[/i]
King Crimson [i]Discipline[/i]
In half an hour it’ll be completely different.
🙂
Top 3 eponymous debut albums?
Roxy Music.
The Smiths.
Stone Roses.
Well I'm not sure even I agree with me, but:
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
The Who - Tommy
Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs
Some interesting choices above, some great albums, but many I've not heard of.
Pink Floyd - the final cut
is an interesting choice, whenever I listen to it, I always think it's sub par Floyd, but still really like listening to it - especially at night
Depends on my mood, but at the moment I'd go for
Fields of the nephilim - Elizium
Depeche mode - violator
George Michael - listen without prejudice.
I think...
Spiritualized - Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
NIck Cave and the Bad Seeds - Push The Sky Away
Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love
Forgot about Paul's Boutique. Love it.
Well I'm adding on Electric - The Cult then
The Stone Roses: The Stone Roses
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Orbital: Insides
I like this game. 🙂
Chemical Bros - Surrender
Orbital - if i’m Allowed Work, then Work, otherwise Impact(USA)
Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
I like it just for the chance to go 'shit, that WAS a great album' and go and immediately find my copy.
Tomorrow will be part Breeders, part Portishead 🙂
Right of the top of the head.....
Strangeways here we come: The Smiths
Out of Time: REM
Grand Prix: Teenage Fanclub
The first two might not be those bands most esteemed work but have songs that are my favourites so they get the nod.
I still listen to a lot of new music but these have been my top 3 for decades
Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. Way up in the stratosphere, then a bit further down...
...Sister by Sonic Youth
You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.

NWA - Straight Outta Compton
Otis Redding - Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul
Though TBH, the last one is just for Try a little tenderness, without doubt my favourite song in the world.
@yokaiser then, what's the Strangeways tune(s) that forces that selection? There's a couple on there I love but they don't say enough to me about my life and hence just don't make the cut above Hatful as a whole
It's a new day ... 😀
Gazpacho...Night
Smashing Pumpkins ..Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness.
Mother Love Bone...Apple.
Black lace,that triple concept album they did about the holocaust,haunting.
In no particular order...
The Bravest Man in the Universe - Bobby Womack
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) - David Bowie
Brighter than a Thousand Suns - Killing Joke
*Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters will occasionally bob in and out...
Mansun - Six
Mew - +-
The Rembrandts - untitled
Goldie - Timeless
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Jimi Hendrix - Axis Bold As Love
right now...
Wintersleep - The Great Detachment
Josh Ritter - Sermon on the Rocks
War on Drugs - A Deeper Understanding
If we’re talking about albums i’m most likely to listen right through i’d say:
Hot Fuse, The Killers.
Californication, Chilli’s.
Going for Gold, Shed Seven.
In terms of those which got the most straight through listens in the years before Spotify playlists:
Innervisions, Stevie Wonder
Wish you Were Here, Pink Floyd
Urban Hymns, The Verve
Plus, obviously...
Hawkwind - Space Ritual
Sisters Of Mercy - Floodland
PJ Harvey - Rid Of Me
Space Ritual will always be in the top spot the others can (and will) change.
'Fifteen' by I Can't Help Crumbling
'Melon Farming in the Isle of Wight' by Complete Shambles
'Ow my Head' by Billy and the Absolutes

@yokaiser then, what's the Strangeways tune(s) that forces that selection?
Girlfriend in a Coma, my first Smiths 12" and record. I went from a Hip Hop and metal fan to a lifelong Smiths and indie fan after hearing this track. A Rush and a Push and last Night I Dreamt are sublime side intros and I really liked the production of the album, JM alluded in his bio that he was starting to push his production skills and I despair that it all went south after this album.
Half a World Away and Country Feedback on Out of Time and Mellow Doubt on Grand Prix are the tracks that stand out on the other two but they are all superb.
Unknown Pleasures
Kind of Blue
The Mikado (version: D'Oyle Carte and the RPO. Conductor Royston Nash. Decca Records)
I have eclectic tastes.
[i]I have eclectic tastes.[/i]
I don't - it's all deep-wonky-antiviral-indie-funk for me.
Girlfriend in a Coma, my first Smiths 12" and record
ah, great song. I was lucky to be in from the start when the sound was a bit more basic but I still always turn that up (same with Everyday is like Sunday, big swelling sound)
My wife HATES the Smiths / Morrissey, but by her admission only for his voice. There are some great cover versions that showcase the songwriting and lyrics and then she has to admit that they are possibly one of the best bands to have ever existed.
Example:
An absolutely not thinking off the top of my head three.
New Model Army - Thunder and Consolation
Lau - Race the Loser
Iain Morrison - To the Horizon Sir
Chili Peppers - BSSM
Pink Floyd - Division Bell
Sonic Animation - Orchid for the afterworld (great songs but more for the memories of where I was and what I was doing 🙂 )
