Makes great music though

Last one from me today...No.964: "American Idiot" by Green Day (2004)
American social outcasts Green Day have been around since the mid-80s with their proto-anachist rock leanings. American idiot was probably their most successful release.
I can't believe this album is almost 14 years ago!

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums
Four more albums reaching No.960 in this list.No.963: “Call Me” by All Green (1973)
A splendid soulful album from the Reverend Al Green.
No.962: “Blue Matter” by Savoy Brown (1969)
Late 60’s-Early 70’s UK blues outfit specialising in traditional blues and making it their own with a heavier twist. Later known as the Savoy Blues Band.
No.961: “Once I Was An Eagle” by Laura Marling (2013)
A beautiful concept album from a singer-songwriter who is highly regarded in non-chart circles.
No.960: “Split” by The Groundhogs” (1971)
Tony McPhee’s Scots blues band. Still going strong, I saw them a few years ago with John Mayall and Mick Taylor on the same bill. Some concert that was!
Please feel free to add your own videos when I don’t post any from albums such as these. But please keep things relevant to the albums noted in the list. Thanks

Yes there are quite a few, should we say "interesting examples" in here aside from the usual hits-packed classics. That shows that popular music is so diverse and vast.
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?

Good afternoon. We shall continue with...No.959: "Laser Love" by After The Fire (1979)
:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-5660058-1399208121-1091.jpeg.jpg)
Slap bang in the middle of the new-wave/post-punk scene was this Christian rock band who were typical of the synth-driven sounds of the era. They were perhaps best known for their riff of their later "Der Kommissar" single being sampled many times for rap/hip hop records (Rick james' 'Super Freak' and MC Hammer's 'U Can't Touch This' spring instantly to mind) but I prefer their debut album. They just scraped into the top 40 with this brilliant single:

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums
No.956: "Relayer" by Yes (1974)
Just three songs make up this album from the kings of prog rock. Rick Wakeman vacated the band after getting bored and so Patrick-Moraz's keyboards adorn Relayer and as usual with Jon Anderson's angelic vocals towering over it all. Fancy 22 minutes of 'The Gates Of Delirium'? You got it!
