Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums
Blonde On Blonde is my favourite Dylan album (perhaps because it's a double) and coming just after Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited which I suspect you have placed higher.Dylan in 1966 - there was no-one better. He actually played in Edinburgh in August of that year, a month after I was born.

We kick off with a groundbreaking American album which invented a whole new genre of rock music: AOR. True, Journey and REO Speedwagon were all around before Boston, but they were at that time making general heavy driving rock records in the vein of Deep Purple before Boston released this album and its incredible single ‘More Than A Feeling’. The band Kansas had been around since 1972 but they were progressive rock in the style of Yes, their own ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ touched on this genre but it was more intricate and technical to be called the first of its kind to be annotated with that radio-friendly version of soft-rock. Add to the mix, the songs ‘Smokin’’ and ‘Piece Of Mind’ and you have one hell of a complete album.
Boston’s debut stormed up the U.S. charts, and soon all over the world selling upwards of 23 million copies to date ( 17 million of those in the U.S. alone). It’s a stunningly engineered piece of stadium rock all made possible by the writing and production genius that was Tom Scholz – the 6’8” guitarist who created this sublime album. Alongside Scholz was singer Brad Delp whose soaring vocals stamped their trademark on Boston’s records for many years (Delp sadly eventually took his own life).
This album is a masterpiece of classic rock and should be in anyone’s collection. Below are some videos of two songs, plus a full concert from Giants Stadium in 1979. In the following post there is the full album in audio form.

Aye mate, just one Dylan album left to go in here now, think you already guessed what it is.
Can't believe you're actually younger than me bud! I was thinking you were a gtood 10 years older...I don't mean that in a derogatory way at all. It's your interests - 60's and early 70s songwriters. You're ahead of your time definitely
Great videos, thanks for posting Ffosse

I think we are all Abba converts these days. Plenty of albums in my collection and in this list. Nice song that one too.
