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

Its worth looking up the history of picture discs, quite interesting reading with some made around 1900, certainly some long before the Cars , be interesting to see some of the older ones.

Sounds like a good idea, Nom. I'm a bit tied up with this thread atm, but why not investigate?
Though it may be lost on the majority of members, as is this thread!

I aim to please mate, though I'm trying not to sound too self-indulgent. Then again, it's a personal list so why not?
I like to think that there will be something in it for everyone and it's the conversation that makes it interesting as well ☺

I wasn't aware of that Nom. I also had Parallel lines picture disc which showed the lovely Debbie Harry licking the centre spindle.

For my tuppenceworth, I remember seeing Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell being a picture disc and if so, that would be 1977. Now whether that was the 12" single I saw in 1979 I can't remember?

Unlike anything they ever did before or since, Odessa is a marvellous slice of progressive pop-rock, none more so than the title track:

I've found something I like Floydy! I'm a great fan of the BeeGees and "Odessa" is a new one to me. Robin was so recognisable on there, a beautiful voice and I enjoyed the album.

Thanks for posting it!

Thanks to you for your interest too Mags, it's an excellent album. Please stick around, I'm sure there'll be some others you'll enjoy just as much if not more

What are your own personal favourites by the way?

I'm more into easy listening music and Abba and the BeeGees were my over all favourites

I'll continue looking in here Floydy, you may surprise me with another of my forgotten favourites.

Great thread by the way

Thanks Mags.
I can tell you that Abba do feature a few times, but I can't say where (sworn to secrecy)
