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

I'd forgotten all about that one from the album, PS. I'm going to have to dig this album out again as it's a bit of an anomaly in Elton's early releases. Nice choice, thanks.

My OH really fancied Ian Dury.It was his voice that used to get her all flustered.

No.431: "Tango In The Night" by Fleetwood Mac (1987)


Second from the Mac today, but this isn't for the purists, it's the mid-80's big hair band led by famous bickering couple Buckingham & Nicks and their return to massive pop success. Seven singles came from this album including massive hits Everywhere, Little Lies, and the underrated seven Wonders. Selecting the first single though here, the great 'Big Love', and my favourite song off the album 'Isn't It Midnight', captured live.

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

Ian Dury would have been so happy about that, PS. I imagine he wasn't instant fanciable material tbh! But, as you say, he had a way with his words, despite not being a particularly pleasant man in looks or personality (as legend would have it).

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

I'm going to have to end with this one today...and it's another from 'Fat Reg':

No.430: "21 At 33" by Elton John (1980)


This criminally underrated album from Elton John's leanest patch (between 1979-1982 he made some excellent albums with little success), features probably my favourite EJ track, a song called Sartorial Eloquence. Single Little Jeannie is pleasant enough as well, but on the afore-mentioned miss of a single, he made a song so well-played with its chord structures that it's impossible to pass it by without special mention. Also check out the 2-minute ditty 'Cartier' from this record too.




Few more tomorrow sometime.

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

Good version of a classic Dylan song there mate

Gene Clark recorded an even better album in 1974 called "No Other". Look out for that too mate, it's in this list later on

Hey Floydy
Are we allowed to post the odd video on your site of songs we like?

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

Hi Bobby.
Sure mate, but I'd prefer it if the songs are relevant to the albums we talk about, otherwise the thread would become just a random music posting thread.
I'm thinking you want to post a Yes record? Well, we've had them and will see them again, so that's fine bud, if you can find the album I've mentioned

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

I wanted to post a classic Elton John song called Harmony with his old band as your recent Elton posts reminded me of it?

I can do it on Eliza's site. NP. It isn't on the album you posted recently above. Check it out. TY mate.
