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

Might as well chuck these final two on before we start during the week on the final 200...

No.202: "Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1" by George Michael (1990)
Following the huge success of the post-Wham! Faith album three years earlier, George Michael added a massive slice of maturity to his songwriting and brought us this superb album. Well played, highly-polished songs and another big hit album featuring at least five hits.

No.201: "Another Side Of Bob Dylan" by Bob Dylan (1964)
Casually knocking out songs now like there was no tomorrow, Bob Dylan released his second album of 1964 with this fine record. many future classics were to be sealed as he moved slightly away from strictly folk music and towards that famous Newport Festival event and the subsequent Manchester Free Trade Hall infamy of the 'electric concert'.
Four songs from this album were covered by The Byrds including their second hit 'All I Really Want To Do'.

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

Okay, I'm pretty much well ahead of schedule with this chart. It's the middle of April and my goal was to have the whole thing signed, sealed and delivered by the end of May when I go on my hols.
Even though that might still happen, I'm thinking of perhaps slowing down a touch due to a few reasons, the main one being I do not want to be frantically posting this stuff when it's nice outside in my precious few afternoons I have. The other reason is that I want to spend more time on the final Top 100 without rushing things, intending to post no more than three albums per day from that last segment.
But we'll see how things go, what the weather's like and where we are at in, say, a month's time. TBD in other words.

Thanks for your continued interest, an update coming up of the 50 albums we've had since last week.

Did you cry when you heard this. Neil young Kraftwerk wannabe AKA Gary Numan understudy.



Sorry evil me buoyant from defeat of cockanee tribe and fullof falling down water.

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

I've got that album, as I have nearly all of Neil Young's output and I have to say Nom, that's it's pretty dreadful isn't it? I know he's a pretty erratic character at the best of times but what on earth was he thinking??
Probably his worst album, save for the diabolical Hawks And Doves from 1980.

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

Soon...

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

Have not been to a record fair for years, used to haunt junk shops and jumble sales,real bargains to be found.

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

Same here Nom. One of the things on my list when I get back onto working days is to start collecting vinyl again and hunting through record fairs. We'll see how the funds are...
the reason me me working nights in the first place is to repay a huge loan caused in the most part by being too impulsive with my record buying!

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

I had .to leave half, my collection when i divorced. Hurt me badly to be separated from something i loved, but yo can always find new sounds.
