 Topic: Top 5 Albums of all timePosted: 11-October-2006 at 11:33 |

Okay..I haven't posted a new topic in a while..and I don't think anyone's done this before... So what would your favourite top 5 albums of all time be? In no particular order..and across all genres.. Then maybe if we get enough posts eventually somebody can collate it and produce a definitive Grove Social Club Top 5 Album List.....either ways..be another way to get some good recomendations... So to start the ball rolling... my top 5 (at the moment) would be Abbey Road - The Beatles OK Computer - Radiohead Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd IV (Runes) - Led Zeppelin Songs for Swinging Lovers - Frank Sinatra  |

In no particular order and also subject to
change within 6-24 hours.... Harvest - Neil Young White Album - Beatles Joshua Tree - U2 Zeppelin II ( Dark & heavy blues) Who's Next - The Who Rolo - I'm sure Lizzy's Live and Dangerous gets into your top5 more than often. |

Well..was just trying to make it easier ...hehehe!! But I know what ya mean Rolo....anyway...that's what the edit button is for...can always go back and change your selection if someone mentions a CD and ya go..sh*t!! that should have been in my top 5...  And I'd forgotten about Hi Fidelity...they did something like this in it...great film actually..specially the ending... |

Yeah HD have to agree. Think you said somewhere that the sound was kinda edgy. For me,that is the essence of Byrne and the Heads. While the later stuff is still excellent, Fear of Music and Buildings and Food are just the business. Funnily enough,wouldn't be a big Psycho Killer or Once in a Lifetime fan. Maybe that's a bit of Heads snobbery creeping in There's a song called " Cities " on Fear of Music, it's also on that live album.Really good. Any other Magazine fans around ?????????? |

I think I have one of their LP's somewhere...the one with Song from under the floorboards...good band...Howard Devoto founded the Buzzcocks with Pete Shelley didn't he? Don't know a whole lot about them ...but remember a pal of mine was big into them...must have a look for a CD or two...what would ya recommend? |

He sure did HD, to quote Michael Caine " Not a lot of people know that ". I've the Buzzcocks first EP, called Boredom, with Devoto on lyrics. Either of the two albums above, Real Life or Second Hand Daylight are excellent. Floorboards is from their last studio offering, The Correct Use of Soap,which is also good. The only other Studio Album is Magic,Murder and The Weather which doesn't hit me the same way as the first two. Would love to discuss the relative merit of these albums with someone as fans are somewhat thin on the ground these days. |

Yeah I read that. U2 are splitting from their record company Island
records. I think they were contracted to do 3 Greatest albums. This is
the third I hope they don't repeat the tracks they have put on the last
few Greatest hits albums. s for the DVD it has 10 live tracks from
Milan but they are meant to be releasing that Full dvd too...

For a nice session of complete sing-along self-indulgence with no bad tracks, the ones that spring to mind in no particular order are: Jethro Tull - Too Old to Rock and Roll, Too Young to Die David Bowie - Diamond Dogs Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen - not very grove-y but it's probably my favourite, most listened to album of all time - no clue why! Moving Hearts - Moving Hearts (bought it in Golden Discs with no cover don't think it has a title - it's the one with Hiroshima Nagasaki, No Time for Love etc Nirvana - Never Mind coming along in close... DB - Hunky Dory, L&T of Ziggy Stardust, Floyd - Wish You were Here, Led Zep III, Pixies - Doolittle, Neil Young - After the GR and Harvest |

I KNEW I'd leave one out - my other favourite!! The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Genesis) my god I'm ashamed of my lack of loyalty to an album that's gotten me home on many drunk occasions!! Have to take Moving Hearts outta top 5
