Later we will continue with the oldest album in the list going way back to 1956. Take a wild guess who that is from...

I was in such haste to post the last selection of albums that I missed your post!
I have the first London Grammar album but I'm not too fond of it tbh. So nothing from them in my list I'm afraid.

Gene Vincent had an album out in 56 (Bluejean Bop) as did Chuck Berry, Bill Haley and Johnny Burnett.
All showed Elvis how to do it

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums
I think I'll give you time to catch up as the dozen albums I posted in the middle of the night may need some time to get through...been more talk about an album we hadn't even seen yet Here it is, and of course it's...No.150: “Elvis Presley” by Elvis Presley (1956)
In the 1950's albums were mainly collections of singles that had been released at the time and many of the rock 'n' rollers didn't really have albums that we regard as classics.
Take Elvis for example. True, he has sold more albums than anybody, has had more hit albums than anybody else too - but let us examine those records:
How many actual studio albums are in that world-beating list? Thing is, they are mostly either compilations or film soundtracks, plus a few later ones which were simply made up of dirge-y ballads. I know it's not my era at all but I can only say that the only Elvis albums I have had time for are the two live ones (The '68 Comeback Special, Aloha from Hawaii) and the very first one. Who was it that said Elvis died when he went in the army? I'd agree with that. Those great early singles were some of the best pop records ever made of course and this album was fundamentally the proper debut Elvis album. Even then, it has appeared in many different forms over the years, with additional earlier songs added etc. Just my view as always though folks...

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums
Ho hum, my previous 2-hour sweat and toil session posting the dozen albums through the night didn't even test the water, should have stayed in bed
I got more interest from bloody Elvis! perhaps there were a zillion views instead from those too timid to post.
Hopefully there might be a decent record amongst this lot...
No.149: “The Who Sell Out” by The Who (1968)
Nothing wrong with this cross between an r’n’b and a psychedelic record apart from the sleeve, which is hideous. The novelty aspect of this coming into being was that each track was segues together by a made-up jingle advertisement linking the tracks together. Ignore all that and enjoy the songs, among them one of The Who’s best, ‘I Can See For Miles’.

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums
No.148: “Piano Man” by Billy Joel (1973)After making his mark in high school garage bands such as The Hassles and The Lost Souls, plus an attempt at progressive rock as one part of the duo Attila, Billy Joel released his first full-length solo album Cold Spring Harbour in 1971. Critically respected in nevertheless didn’t sell too well and Joel set about recording a better produced follow-up two years later. Piano Man, due mainly to the classic title song was a minor hit but has gained its reputation over the years as one of his best early albums. Coupled with some other fine songs such as ‘You’re My Home’, the western-tinged semi-autobiographical (like the title song) ‘Ballad Of Billy The Kid’ and tremendous finale of the adolescent teenager of ‘Captain Jack’ and this is a record essential to any Billy Joel collector.
