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

Had Aqualung and another one I think but I can't be certain. I'll check tomorrow.

It's just a complete album isn't it mate, so many great tracks on it. That's all for Seger now though.

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

I think I need to post a new a-z list, so I'll do one for the first 900 albums just before we begin the top 100 next week.

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

I've never had the privilege of seeing Van Morrison. I did see Bob Dylan in 1989, though. Towards the end of the concert we were all able to go to the front by the stage. I swear Dylan stared at me for a good 10 seconds never smiling.

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

They are both notorious for being moody and cantankerous souls. Dunno if I'd want to see Dylan because he alters his songs so much live. Sometimes they are unrecognisable.

I do want to see Van Morrison again someday and I'll try to see him next year if he tours.

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

But sometimes Dylan's improvised versions are better....my favourite Dylan video - it really rocks.

That's a cool song, PS. Haven't heard that before

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

As promised, some I prepared earlier in very quick succession...

No.117: “Live At Leeds” by The Who (1970)
One of the greatest live albums in history, Live at Leeds is a great set, capturing The Who on the back of their Tommy concept album and performing it on stage that night. Originally released as a single album that noted set was later released as a double album featuring the whole of Tommy start to finish. There are only a few actual filmed excerpts of this concert which aren’t very good, but there’s a couple of snippets below featuring stills.

No.116: “The Eagles” by The Eagles (1972)
“And here’s where it all started” said Glenn Frey on the band’s Hell Freezes Over album in 1994 (more of that one later). Taking their influences from a broad spectrum – The Byrds, CSN&Y, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and a whole host of country music legends, The Eagles embarked on what was to be their domination of American easy-going country-rock for the 1970’s (and beyond, periodically). Helped along initially by songwriter J.D. Souther and then taking Jackson Browne’s ‘Take It Easy’ as a theme song, they set the music world on fire in a four short years they would release what turned out to be the biggest selling album in history with their greatest hits collection.

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

Before we continue, just got this and I'm onto the third album already. 10xCD collection of their early stuff 1969-1978. Pure class!!
