No.630: "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions" by Bruce Springsteen & The Sessions Band (2006)
Having disbanded the E Street Band a second time following the hugely successful "The Rising" album and tour, and the subsequent "Devils & Dust" a year prior to this, The Boss chnaged direction in a dramatic manner. Assembling a band of what can only be termed as 'minstrels' he went back to his father's Irish roots to bring us an album which turned out to be real hoot, terrific fun.
Combining his own songs only added to the atmosphere of this irresistible collection.

Last one tonight, and I'm leaving you the maestro:No.629: "Rattle That Lock" by David Gilmour (2015)
After an eight-year sabbatical (he doesn't need to rush), Floyd's David Gilmour returned after making Floyd's splendid afterthought 'The Endless River' with this decidedly 'pretty okay' collection of new tunes. Nothing bad at all about the songs, but how you wish he would do something Floyd-ish occasionally. Two songs now - the title track single followed by the song he wrote about his mother's dementia (and one I really took to heart about my dear old mum at the same time), 'Faces Of Stone':
Enjoy

The beach Boys were one of the seminal bands of the 60's. They took a while to take off in the UK because our charts were still saturated with those old crooners and their US hits were tiny over here in comparison, but we cottoned on after a few years.

Likewise with your thread.lots more to come of course including those classics that not only I rate highly but are simply landmark albums in history. I reckon the top 500 from then on will be brilliant.
Just going to catch up other forum stuff now for a few minutes... see what the grannies are ranting on about!
