Errr... I've got a greatest hits in my list.
Just a list of your top 10 albums is all :)
BTW - how did I miss Thriller? Doh... >:(
-
Purists tend to say no compilations and no live albums (unless all songs are new)
-
Good job we're not purists then - LOL :P
-
Been to "The other place" to jog my memory.
Interestingly Pete's list is vastly different from before but Jon's (almost exclusively 80s) list has not changed.
Not coming up with a definitive list yet but here are some on my shortlist:
There is a recent trend for groups to play live versions of their most iconic albums in full and these 3 have impressed me:
Wishbone Ash - Argus
Strawbs - Hero & Heroine
Ocean Colour Scene - Moseley Schoals
Some long time favourites:
Springsteen - Born To Run
Pulp - Different Class
REM - Automatic For The people
Al Stewart - past, Prenent & Future
Some more recent:
Tiny Dancers - Free School Milk
Richard Hawley - Lady's bridge
Midlake - The Courage of Others
John Grant - Queen of Denmark
Griffin House - The Learner
There really should be something by The Who or the Rolling Stones but which?
Difficult, requires more thought.
-
Queen - The Platinum Collection
Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell
Kinks - You really got me
Dolly Parton - The very best of
Dr. Hook - Completely Hooked
Thin Lizzy - Greatest Hits
Stones - Forty Licks
Glen Miller - In the Mood
Barry Manilow - The best of
André Rieu (drool, swoon :-*) Moonlight Serenade
-
If we are including greatest his albums my list would be completely different but if those are the rules may just as well put ipod playlists in. Let's have some guidelines.
-
This is my list from the other place....
Fast Car, Tracy Chapman
Bat Out of Hell, Meatloaf
The Wall, Pink Flloyd (Many prefer DSOTM but not me)
Thriller, Michael Jackson (Could easily have been Off The Wall)
Pablo Honey, Radiohead (Could have been any of theirs.)
Secret World, Live Peter Gabriel
The Best of Sade for those special moments LOL
The Very Best of Gene Pitney
Whats The Story. Morning Glory or anything by Oasis.
Parallel Lines, Blondie (or any others of theirs)
Stoosh, Skunk Anansie
Automatic For the People, REM
Gold ABBA, well why not.
Grease, The Soundtrack....don't laugh, we all bloody well sing along to it....don't we.
Raintown, Deacon Blue
And thats not including anything by Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Stereophonics, Elvis P, Elvis C,........
Recent additions would include 21 by Adele and The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow.

Typical 'politician'!! ;)

I think that a moderator should be notified ..... unless you balance it with a list of greatest hers albums ;)

I'll PM him Aitch - usually works... lol
:D

Fellow music snobs, sorry highways officers, are horrified at the suggestion of including Greatest Hits in a best album debate.
It's just a lazy choice and bares no connection with particular act at a particular time period, some are even compiled by record labels without the consent of the acts involved.
For instance the Beatles Blue & Red albums contain many more familiar songs than the likes of classic albums such as Revolver and Sgt Pepper.
Obviously this Forum is about freedom of speech but without sensible guidelines I'm going to spit the dummy and take my ball home on this topic.
-
All I did was ask what your fave top ten albums were, 'kin' 'ell Slacker.
We don't need no stinkin' guidelines!
-
My top ten albums are all compilation albums.
Most albums are half filled with crap any way.
Ok, some Queen albums.
Alanis Morrisette, Jagged Little Pill
That's 10 for now :D
-
As a bear of very little brain, can I just clarify that "Fellow Music Snobs" means the same as a group of judgemental tossers who think that their taste in music is better than anybody elses? Just asking.
-
I'm guessing that's a fail then Slacker...
;D ;D ;D
-
it has the potential to be an interesting discussion and find me some different music to try.

Na na na na nah nah!!! :'(

Not criticising anyone's taste just the concept.
-
btw Stoneground & Any Trouble are not acts that I am familiar wit soi probably need searching for to have a listen
-
What's the difference between a compilation album and a live one where the group/artist plays the majority of their hits?
For example I could have easily put Led Zep's 'The Song Remains The Same' which depending on which way you look at it is either a compilation album, a live album or even a sound track to a film!!
-
The 3 I mentioned are not live albums they are concerts I have been to years after the albums came out where they have (for the first part of the set) played the album through in the original track order (though OCS have recently brought out a live version which included Moseley Shoals and the rest of the concert)
If you search online for best albums of the year, decade, century etc they will generally exclude compilations. various artists and live albums of old material.
