Don't worry, Ffosse. You are naming my fave Van albums too there. You will be pleasantly rewarded in the coming weeks

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

Unfortunately this will have to be the final one for today. Easter hols over and I'm back on the school run again! Here's Yes:

No.267: "Fragile" by Yes (1971)
Fragile was (I think) the fourth album from this most enduring of all progressive rock bands, who continue to thrive in different versions of the name and with various line-up changes for virtually every album they make.
Fragile is classic Yes. There are some tremendous (and pretty lengthy) tracks on it including the two classics I've picked out here. The first is the single 'Roundabout' from a concert at the time, the second is the brilliant full-length version of the final song 'Heart Of The Sunrise', which has been annotated with some beautiful Roger Dean artwork.
It's a shame we don't see much more of Bobby Americano in here, I love his thread on Yes music and it's giving me a lot of interesting info. Check his thread out if you get chance.

Any Lynyrd Skynyrd in your list, Floydy? I particularly like Skynyrd's First although a compilation.

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

They are, Ffosse.
I'm not sure where as I'm out on my mobile right now, but I know we've had two so far and there's definitely one more

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

How about Creedence Clearwater Revival?

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

There was a CCR album about 100 posts back. I did post an updated list A-Z on here last week Ffosse. Sorry but I can't tell you exactly as I'm out and about mate

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

I'll look it up then, no worries.

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

Sorry bud, I keep the list on my PC. Maybe I could print it out and keep it in my back pocket? A few people ask me this sort of thing and I'm often at work at night so it's a problem tbh

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

Later this afternoon (God, that seems aeons away as I type this at work at 1 a.m. in the morning!), I'll be starting with an album that we have already featured. Does that sound a little confusing? Well those who have followed this thread from the start may remember an album very early on that I misjudged and after probably the most interest in any album on this thread so far, I relented and moved it up to a position far more worthy of its high calibre.
That record was The Bee Gees' Odessa which languished very undeservedly around the 900-mark and it will be coming back again next in a far more suitable position that we have reached now in the list.

That leaves a vacant space where I moved it from and that new record will be mentioned in the same post. All will become apparent later folks!
