Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums
Last one from me today, from Mr. Stuart Goddard and his Antpeople:No.955: "Kings Of The Wild Frontier" by Adam & The Ants (1980)
An album which has dated somewhat but I include it because it has the dubious memory of being the first album I bought on cassette(!)
After languishing in the punk wilderness for a couple of hit and miss albums, Mr. Ant struck gold with this record which featured the double-drumming of the title track plus Dog Eat Dog and this one, Antmusic.
Over to you guys with any comments about today's selections....

Solomon Burke. Couse it was, dunno how that slipped my mind but thanks for pointing that out. I don't want any mistakes in this thread
A fomer rock drummer I see. Did you back anyone of note in your time? Whatever, I hope you enjoy the albums in here, it's early days yet.

Even though I do have quite an extensive knowledge on the subject there are still thousands of bands and albums I'm still in the dark about....and many I'd rather not have heard.
Keep enjoying it, Longdogs. I guarantee there'll be many releases to come which you will know very well indeed.
Incidentally, who are your own favourite artists and albums?
Don't look back. Boston
Dead Letters. The Rasmus
Can't buy a thrill. Steely Dan
Never mind the bollocks. Sex Pistols
Parallel Lines. Blondie
Signing off. UB40
The Cars. The Cars
There are lots more but can't think of them off hand.

Oh and anything by The Proclaimers. I'm not religious but I just love their sound and harmonies.
Sadly I can't share your enthusiasm about UB40. I can't stomach Ali Campbell's nasal vocal chords, but they mean well with their reggae covers for the masses I guess!
The Proclaimers I can take or leave, although if I was doing a singles or tracks rundown, Sunshine On Leith would be a high entry. Beautiful song.
Cheers bud

Ooh just thought of another favourite:
Razorlight.
Not a massive Razorlight fan though. Sorry.
