Ohh mate. You see this is what happens; Someone like youurself suddenly jogs my memory with an album I'd long forgotten. World Party!
That band's "Goodbye Jumbo" with ELO-type songs such as 'Is It Like Today' I totally forgot about when I did my list. I had it on cassette and lost it years ago. If I had remembered it I definitely would have put it in my Top 500 at least!
The pros and cons of list-compiling!

No reason to elaborate on the BB's' other than to say that no band was probably more iconic for a particular (and simpler) time and place.

Excellent today. Sonic Youth..Waterboys (agree with Nom about Wallinger)
Thanks Surfermon. Pleased you enjoyed the Beach Boys again. More to come...and I'm sure you can tell which ones!

Tina Turner - no more sadly but I do respect her as a leading light in the field of music.

Waterboys. Se above, obviously. No more though.
Being a thousand albums, it's still very tight knit as to how many by an artist can be included.

And my list would certainly not be everyone's list. All good fun hopefully though. And I relish all your replies.

More tonight

Thanks pal.
No more solo albums, alas, but plenty more Fleetwood Mac stuff still to come

No.635: "Never A Dull Moment" by Rod Stewart (1972)

I'm not sure if we've had Rod yet without checking, but this one is a sublime album. Tracks like 'Angel' and a great version of Sam Cooke's 'Twistin' The Night Away' notwithstanding, it hits all the right buttons:

No.634: "Steel Wheels" by The Rolling Stones (1989)


It's only my personal opinion guys, but I class this record as the last semi-decent album the Stones made to date. They go through the motions on the live stage and still release albums but it always like like a customary record label necessity than any effort has gone into them. They do this kind of thing in their sleep. 'Tattoo You' was okay in '81, then this one, which I really do enjoy.
It may be the fact that in my time off when I was in the RAF I got to know people who organised stewarding at Wembley Stadium who asked for bods to man the football play-off in '89 and '90 that I got to see some top musicians also. So I saw the Stones three times in one week on this tour. Here are probably the best couple of songs from the album, with a cracking single to start with:

No.633: "Fugazi" by Marillion (1984)


Fish and his band of merry progressive gentlemen with their second album tinkering with songs Genesis should have written.
Here's Gary Davies doing something that Dave Lee Travis was arrested for....

No.632: "Jollification" by The Lightning Seeds (1994)


The Lightning Seeds is essentially Ian Broudie, and on this third album he seemed tie it in absolutely right by appearing right in the midst of the 90's indie scene, of which this band were made for before their time.
Full of perfect pop singles, this album would have been much higher placed if I hadn't had the misfortune of seeing them live where they played their last gig on the tour rushing through their set in less than 50 minutes. A terrible gig but a great album.

No.631: "Tales Of Mystery And Imagination: Edgar Allen Poe" by The Alan Parsons Project (1976)


This was the debut album by Alan Parsons and his studio band financed following his pay-off from engineering The Dark Side Of The Moon.
Well-known subsequently for being a very cerebral band of musicians with Parsons and main songwriter Eric Woolfson heading the group, they would release a further eight albums of extremely well-produced material within their 12-year life span.

Hi Floydy.

Just nipping back a little to the Waterboys and the single 'Whole of the moon' holds a special memory for me, if you know what I mean.
