No.638: "Private Dancer" by Tina Turner (1984)
I wouldn't normally include such a album so popular with the chart fraternity that it's singles are overplayed to death ('The Best', 'Steamy Windows'), but this is a marvellously-produced album with some terrifically written songs, that it's hard to ignore. It's a classic album whatever the genre.

No.637: "Rock A Little" by Stevie Nicks (1985)
Second solo album from the diminutive songwriter who along with Lindsey Buckingham rescued Fleetwood Mac from the doldrums in the mid-70's. Stevie nicks paraded her way into the spotlight as only a bella donna (prima donna?) would with this superb collection of self-penned tracks.

I'll end with this early classic album tonight. Just for you, Surfermom
No.636: "Surfer Girl" by The Beach Boys (1963)
There isn't really that much to say about The Beach Boys apart from that they were probably the best American band of their era by far. Surfer Girl is, I think, their second album and includes this gorgeous title track and for me, one of their very best tracks in 'In My Room', which could be just about anybody's personal collection of thoughts, hope and future dreams.
Take it away Brian...
More tomorrow. Good night all
I doubt we'll beat ArtAngel's behemoth of a tome though....

Yeah it's hard not to look at the Hottest Thread lists tbh. I never do normally but I think the reason this one has some clout is that it's an eternal list designed to run until we get to that special number one album. Most threads last about a week tops as they consist of a current topic wheras this has to run its course.
We'll be No.1 next week anyway and remain there for the rest of 2018. That's virtually a certainty....only the power of Brexit can change that lol!

Thanks to the classic single 'The Whole Of The Moon' rewarding leader and main songwriter with an Ivor Novello award, The Waterboys have become one of the leading lights in Irish music. But it's not all down to that single, the band have that uncanny Irish knack of combining melody, great songwriting and a flair for solid entertainment to provide the hits (what on Earth am I talking about?)
Love 'Old England' and 'This is the Sea'
And a lot of their other music....

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums
Happy to see these Nicks and Turner showing up on your list. What a ball of fire Turner is!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)
