- Ok I resisted as long as I could, but I find these so interesting I had to do one! These are the 10 albums I have listened to the most over the past 2 or 3 years - except Royal Blood’s self titled debut, that would be in my list but having played it a couple of weeks ago I must have put it somewhere ‘safe’ and couldn’t find it, so drafted in a classic supersub. No science to it, just going off feel for which albums I reach for most often. Culled from a list of about 20 candidates. As ever, the banging albums left out would make a cracking part 2…

One Hot Minute, Koi No Yokan, Swoon, Turn On The Bright Lights, Hopes and Fears, Common Courtesy, This is Why, Futures and The Money Store. All are awesome and underrated albums
Great, a lot of those are being played a lot in our home as well, includin Liege and Lief!
Good stuff Liege and Lief is the best isn’t it what an album! Thanks for your comment take care cheers
It's always been URIAH HEEP this legendary English group for me since the 1970s with the great voice of David Byron.
Incredible taste mate
Glad you think so! Thanks for your comment take care cheers
Great to discover your channel, always nice to discover another Brit on the VC! I haven't heard that Slint album for a long time. I'm not a Pearl Jam fan but I always loved the song 'Rear View Mirror'.
Can't find fault in any of the choices. Brilliant list.
Very nice selection!
Hi 👋 I have a large music collection, I'm in my sixties in age. I like jazz and i had the pleasure of seeing Miles Davis in concert here in New Zealand where i live. He toured here back in the 1980s , and it was around the time of his Tutu album release. His back up band were very funky. He was in his sixties at the time. I liked the Beatles in the 1960s. They excited me when i first heard them.
Good to see you on your channel ! I'm gonna take a shot at this also. Love to see Sabbath, and Miles ! Jack Johnson had one of his biggest fights ever here in Reno. Johnson-Jeffries back in 1910 ( Fight Of The Century ) right down the street from where I work ! Slint is from Louisville, Kentucky, right next to Indiana... Love that record, as well. I could use a copy of "Liege And Lief".. and more Sandy Denny ! Watching the rest.. Nice one, Jamie ✌
It was a good fun video as It really took some thought - plus it was great I listened to them all in the preceeding days. I'm a massive boxing fan yes it was that was a huge fight winner got $75,000 - that was a huge amount in 1910. Ah nice i love that Slint album. The debut is decent not quite on the same level. Liege and Lief that's one if the best albums of all time, never mind folk albums. Love Sandy Denny she's my favourite female singer. I have 2 copies Liege and Lief i'd gladly send you one, but it would prob cost more than it's worth! Thanks for watching take care.
The best thing of this thread is seeing people contribute whom I never have seen before. I’m new to your channel, and it’s a pleasure visiting. Love your relaxed presentation and that beautiful tile wall behind you. And of course the records. Cheers ✌🏻
Hey Mazzy, many thanks for watching and also for your kind comment - I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😎 yes this excellent thread has introduced me to many channels I hadn’t seen before it’s been great, and whether I like the records chosen or not it’s always interesting. Take care cheers
Excellent.
Good stuff Jamie.
Love a bit of Fairport..Leige & Leif is a classic.
Sabbath and Hendrix, very cool.
I used to play Jack Johnson to my son when he was a baby and it would be guaranteed to get him off to sleep every time !..he's almost 18 now but still loves listening to him.
Blonde and Blonde is terrific, part of that amazing trio of 65/66 period with Highwsy 61 and Bringing it all Back Home, equally great imo.
The medley on Abbey Road is just wonderful.
Thanks Rob. Now Liege and Lief I must admit I’m a bit addicted to! Love Sabbath and Hendrix I play something by them most days tbh.
Hang on are you talking about Jack Johnson the Hawaiian singer/songwriter? If so then same with my eldest kids they used to love the Curious George movie and still listen to him now!
Yeah I really love that trilogy of BD albums. I found a NM UK first press of both Highway 61 Revisited and Bringing it all back home (plus Another side of Bob Dylan) last weekend, but didn’t show them on my latest finds video as wanted to do a separate one - but I guess the cat is well and truly out of the bag now lol! 😂
Yep the Abbey Road medley is amazing I can’t get enough of that. Cheers mate and take care
@@lifeofvinyl3003 Yes mate, Curious George that was another one with the song ' Upside Down' he loved that!.
I don't think I've ever heard that Miles Davis album, im gonna check that out right away.
Hi Dave, yes it’s a great album it’s quite different to a lot of Miles’ stuff I really love it. Thanks for your comment take care cheers
@@lifeofvinyl3003 I listened to it last night and really enjoyed it. Great lineup of musicians on both sides.
@@davecummings2424 yeah it really is! John McLaughlin is on fire on side one! Incredible stuff. Glad you enjoyed it take care cheers
Great list. STP, Pearl Jam, and Miles?👍👍
STP works for me.
Good list. I would have Jimi Hendrix, Whos Next, Jailbreak Thin Lizzy, Kinks, Arthur, Stones, Let It Bleed. Miles Davis Kind of Blue (your choice is great as well) Style Council Internationlists, which I think is one the best rock/R&B records of all time. XTC Orange and Lemons
Thanks Gary. Nice list yourself, hard to argue with those…time to get your video uploaded! 😉 thanks for your comment take care cheers
I love this thread. Nice selection. Nice to see Liege and Lief. Sandy Denny is my favorite singer. And Richard Thompson is one of my favorite guitarists. Revolver is my go to Beatles with Abbey Road a close second. That Oasis album is a bit hazy in my memory so I need to give it a re-listen. Looking forward to more of from your channel.✌️
Thanks for the sub and also for your comment. Sounds like we have quite similar taste then tbh! Yes give Definitely Maybe another go I didn’t listen to it for a while, but right back into them atm. Take care cheers
A very nice varied list of albums. Miles fusion albums was amazing, he had such an incredible funk groove. Other fusion never had that groove. Bitches Brew made it into my 10 ten but any of their fusion albums could have been picked. I am new to your channel, this popped up in my feed. Very nice list
I'm lucky enough to still have the Bitches Brew original master I bought probably 35 years ago,the players that came through Miles fusion albums are the best fusion players around.✌️
Hi Steve, yes I seem to listen to Jack Johnson more than his other albums tbh, but as you say any of the others would do very nicely. Thanks for your comment take care cheers
I’ll definitely look for Liege and Lief - I’ve been getting into 60s and 70s groups interpretations of traditional songs. Absolutely love listening to them at dusk.
My most recent finds are Angel Claire by Art Garfunkel and A Song Will Rise by Peter Paul and Mary- their Gilgarry Mountain (Whiskey in the Jar) is perfection.
Excellent choices of some great records, I kept waiting for you to turn around and grab the Smiths record you've got there behind you. I met a guy from Glasgow, who constantly listened to that album and played soccer ⚽. Great album.
Haha nice way to spend your time! 😂 thanks for your comment take care
Jamie.. Where on the globe do you live ? I will give you a good shout- out soon on one of my vids.. You deserve it .. Cheers JT 🌄
That'd be grand thank you so much! I'm in the UK - England to be exact.
@lifeofvinyl3003 Alright.. I figured. I'm going to do it. I generally do 1 video a week, and I won't forget. See you on yours. 🤚
Love the 10 you pulled I agree Pearl Jam VS. is tops for me too such an amazing record. That Stone Temple Pilots Core album is so underrated I remember when it came out it was raw an to the point great group I wish I could of see them live back then. Great vinyl collection loved it.
Thank you sir appreciate that! Yes VS is a gem of an album. For me it stands out even alongside some other brilliant PJ albums. Man, Core is incredible isn’t it? I think it’s really underrated. I have a first press of ‘Purple’ on Purple vinyl, but I think because it doesn’t sound great I don’t play it anywhere near as much I need to get a better sounding copy of that. Thanks for watching and for your comment take care cheers
I have to admit that I don't know much of Black Sabbath, but I really appreciate their music. I don't know some of the other albums you mentioned here either, so I'm going to take a listen to them tonight. You're exposing me to new music, so thanks! I noticed Lou Reed in the background. Lou Reed issued a signed edition of book also called Transformer. I regret not buying that... Hard to come by now. You have an AMAZING collection. Love your videos and your albums. Keep them coming! P.S. I remember trying to learn Hey Joe and Wind Cries Mary on my guitar when I was a teenager. Now I have to try to play those tracks again. GREAT music. And I LOVE that Dylan album!
Black Sabbath were an incredible band the first 6 albums are amazing. The albums they made with Ronnie James Dio (Mob Rules and Heaven and hell) are also both fantastic albums. If you wanted to start with one I’d probably recommend Paranoid or Black Sabbath Vol.4.
Yes you should have def bought the Transformer book that would have been worth a fortune now!
Same yes I bought red Strat and thought I’d be Jimi Hendrix! Didn’t work out that way though I have a downtuned Telecaster now so more like a b-tech Keef lol! Blonde on Blonde I played again tonight - even talking about it made me want to play it again!
Nice pick on the Johnson/Davis record. I've never heard the MoFi version. This was a fun and eclectic list.
Thanks for your comment! I did have another version of the Jack Johnson before I got the MOFI which was decent enough, but the MOFI was even better so I moved it on. Take care cheers
Hi Jamie, I’m a new sub, and looking forward to seeing your videos. Great Sabbath album, Sabotage is my favourite. That is my favourite Beatles album, I think the medley is sublime. Nice picks. Mike
Hi Mike, welcome aboard! Thanks for your comment. Sabotage is also a great, underrated classic I play that a lot too. Yes the Abbey Road medley is an absolute joy I love that so much. Take care cheers
Interesting selection, lot of classics. the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is probably one of my favorite early Sabbath record. And wow, nice to see some Fairport Convention! I love Liege & Lief too, as i am very into FC at the moment. Sandy Denny had a great voice indeed, and this is undoubtedly their best record , certainly the one they reached their own proper sound with...as they eventually managed to craft their own English folk style, after gradually moving away from the American folk model (such as all the cover versions of Emitt Rhodes, Joni Mitchel and Bob Dylan that they've done on the first albums). Revolver and Abbey Road are also in my top 3 (with Sgt Peppers), and I just found a copy of Bonde On Blonde so I totally validate your selection 😊Cheers mate, Regards from Canada
Thanks for your comment. Yes Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Liege and Lief get played a lot round here what a couple of classic albums - they’re awesome! Can’t go wrong with any of those Beatles albums, all amazing and Blonde on Blonde might just be the best double album ever made it’s an incredible piece of work. Take care cheers
Hi Jamie, good video mate,
i was watching and thought 'bloody hell i dont own any of these' as you got to Hendrix, but i own the remaining back half which was good. that Stone Temple Pilots album is fantastic IMO, as are the Abbey Road, Oasis and obviously Dylan.
PS, love the wall behind you, ceramic tiles? - Lloyd
Thanks Lloyd. Yeah you might say it’s a bit of an eclectic mix. I enjoyed doing the video I got about 20 albums out that sprang to mind (and couldn’t find the Royal Blood, which would have been on there) and listened to them all through which was a great few days listening - loved it!
That is actually a folding screen, it’s like a room divider. I tend to film these in my conservatory as it’s a nice light in there.
Take care cheers mate
I like the shirt. I got one too lol.
Hi Jamie , lots of records I’m unfamiliar with. Nice to see definitely maybe at the end .. I saw oasis on the last tour supported by kasabian .. Columbia ! Classic
Just to clarify I have Dylan and Beatles albums and a few jimi albums
Hi Rob, ah Kasabian - another band I love! Only got 3 or 4 Kasabian albums on vinyl sadly I should probably put that right tbh. Both great live bands. Damn, Columbia is such a banger! That and Slide Away make that album so great for me because the singles are already great but it’s those albums where the singles draw you in and then other tracks are even better - love it!! Take care mate cheers
I like your choices. My list :
Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon
Steely Dan - Can´t buy a thrill
The Smiths - The Queen is dead
The Waterboys - This is the Sea
Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert
Television - Marquee Moon
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the aeroplane over the sea
Pixies - Doolittle
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Gang of Four - Entertainment!
Steely Dan - Aja
Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
It’s a great list too!! Some of my favourites on there for sure plus a couple I’m not familiar with I’ll check them out! thanks for commenting
Great choices Jamie, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is a great start. Spiderland is an awesome album, I saw the documentary Breadcrumb Trail a few years ago, that's how I discovered Slint. Pearl Jam VS. is good, I also like Vitalogy. Are You Experienced? is fantastic. Blonde on Blonde, Abbey Road, Core, Definitely Maybe all great choices. You have very similar taste to mine, I could have put any one of the above mentioned LPs in my video. Thanks for sharing your list, looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Take care.
Thanks for your comment yes it seems we do have similar (and great!) taste 😂 yes Vitalogy is very nearly as good I think I slightly prefer VS, but both classic albums. The Breadcrumb trail is a superb doc. Take care cheers
Thanks for this, but have to say how sad I am to see so few female artists being picked, I could not survive without Patti, Sinead, Kate, Nina, Nancy, Polli, Debbie, Joni, Joan, Judy, Lana et el
Classical albums also
Cheers
Nice shirt! I've just subbed you channel. Cheers
Thanks for the sub! Yes I love that shirt. Take care cheers
You can’t go wrong with late 60’s to early 70’s Miles Davis. I also prefer the US version of Are You Experienced.
You really can’t, it was a real purple patch for sure. Yes I slightly prefer it but it’s nice to have both. Thanks for the sub and your comment cheers
1 - King Crimson - Red
2 - Frank Zappa - Over-nite Sensation
3 - Neil Young - Weld
4 - Caravan - The Land of Pink and Grey
5 - Nektar - A Tab in the Ocean
6 - Pearl Jam - VS
7 - The Cult - Love
8 - Dire Straits - Communiquè
9 - The Clash - London Calling
10 - Gentle Giant - The Power and the Glory
Hello there those are awesome choices! Some of my favourite albums right there I listened to the Caravan album at the weekend and I’m always playing The Cult. King Crimson I’m gradually buying all their albums I have Red and it’s excellent. Communique is and underrated classic. I think VS is the best PJ album, although I do love (almost) all of them tbh. Thanks for watching and commenting take care cheers
@@lifeofvinyl3003
VS is the best PJ album. I agree with you.
@@BonafonteLeonardo 100% there’s not a bad song on it
Great stuff! You must have a great collection just based on the pressings you keep mentioning. Do the 1st press UK usually sound better then all the others you have?
Cheers! Well it depends really. I think it mainly comes down to a country of origin thing particularly with older albums. The record companies weren’t generally shipping master tapes around the world so UK copies of Beatles albums could reasonably be expected to be the best sounding versions for example, and I think they are in that case but it might come down to personal preference at the end of the day. However it’s definitely not the case with the ‘Are you Experienced?’ tho, that 2020 UHQR version sounds much better than any other version I personally have heard. Take care cheers
