Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums
No.618: “Scenes From The Southside” by Bruce Hornsby & The Range (1988)The ever-talented Bruce Hornsby with his follow-up to the massive=selling 'The Way It Is' album. This is the best track on the album:
No.617: “Strong Persuader” by The Robert Cray Band (1985)
The perma-cool guitar legend's breakthrough album from his early days. Cray plays in the style of his mentor B.B. King and is still making fine music today.
Back tomorrow guys

Few more for me to enjoy there Floydy, though im firmly Old Skool Progressive so early Yes and Genesis King Crimson and of course the Masters, Van der Graff Generator.I always placed the Stranglers as wannabe Proggers,/ Doors, One of, the few bands from the punk era that made an impact on me.
I wil eventually add, that Johnny Cash set as i love the Americam Recordings series, inspired choices of tracks.

The Stranglers are probably my favourite band of the late 70's era (I never classed them as punk; they were too good musicians for that). Brilliant and good fun live.
And Johnny cash...what can you say about the man? His legacy of recordings speak for themselves. You will enjoy the box set bud

Most of my stuff is now on MP3 on a single 2TB external hard drive unit, so my collection is really nothing bigger than a VHS tape! Still got piles of albums in the loft though.

Ooo, forgot about how good Cray was.Hornsby is one of my absolute favorites and I would argue that his music has kind of a timeless feel to it because it's so unique.
There is something very Chesapeake Bay and unique sounding about him - this bluesy, folksy, rock, Mowtown thing all stirred up in a pot and poured out into his piano. Tall, he has a Rachmaninoff reach of the keys.
Plus he's one who can tell a big, poignant story in three short minutes, which I really like. He's superb live.

There are some very informative posts from you Surfermom as always. I really do enjoy and look forward to reading them.
Why oh why though are you still the only woman who appears in this thread? Surely the other female members in here must enjoy some form of popular music?

Got bogged down here this afternoon with a much needed return to the gym, then had to hang around for a sofa being delivered (still not here yet!), so unfortunately won't have time for any albums folks! Keep the conversation going though, and you can always post your own relevant vids if you like
