No.912: "Talking Back To The Night" by Steve Winwood (1982)
The Spencer Davis Group's frontman, occasional Eric Clapton sideman, much-in-demand prodeucer/songwriter/vocalist and exceptional Hammond B3 organist, Steve Winwood would also find time to put out many solo albums. This one features this pop classic 'Valerie' amongst other superb soulful tracks.

No.911: "Everyone Is Here" by The Finn Brothers (2004)
The Finn Brothers are Neil and Tim, ex-Crowded House who collaborated with this (obviously) very Crowded House-sounding album. But there's nothing wrong with that as the band were probably New Zealand's finest outfit.

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums
As I'm putting these together for you this afternoon, I decided to Give The Bee Gees' Odessa another listen. It's probably had more interest than anything else I've posted thus far and I'm sitting here thinking it's a remarkable record and that I should have placed it much higher in my list, probably in the No.100-150 bracket. But the list is done and cannot be changed. Ho-hum.17-01-2018, 04:42 PM

No.910: "Heartattack And Vine" by Tom Waits (1980)
Bourbon-swilling, trilby-attired and sounding like he's swallowing a good dose of TCP, Tom Waits is the songwriter's songwriter. Much respected, his songs deal with everyday observations from his New York apartment. This is one of the great conceptual albums.

No.909: "Before The Dream Faded" by The Misunderstood (1966)
Rick Brown's 'nearly' band of early psychedelic rock. Some say that The Beatles' 'Tomorrow Never Knows' from their Revolver album is probably the first psychedelic song, but many critics argue that this band (or possibly the 13th Floor Elevators) were first. Who knows? All I know is that this band deserved more recognition than they found.

No.908: "Red" by King Crimson (1974)
With Greg Lake departed to concentrated on ELP, guitarist extraordinaire Robert Fripp recruited vocalist/bassist John Wetton (later in Asia) to join his band. This album steered away from the noodling of early 70's albums such as Larks Tongues In Aspic and Lizard to introduce a much heavier sound to the band.

Last one today.No.907: "Then Play On" by Fleetwood Mac (1969)
The third album from peter Green's 'original version' of Fleetwood Mac, Then Play On featured mainly blues standards, but when this single took off, it was swiftly altered to include it.

I've taken on your idea about adding other images, such as the back sleeve, photos of the band etc on earlier albums, so a little more in the way of interest there hopefully
