- @mazzysmusic posted a video of his picks a few days ago and I decided to pick up the challenge to give it a go. Not my favourite albums or necessarily my favourite band but the individual albums I keep returning to

Wow, I owe you a debt of gratitude. This Wishbone Ash album is so good. I had never heard of them and instantly loved this. So incredible! Thanks Andy.
My pleasure, Bobby. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing. Cheers
Great selection David, I agree with most of your choices.

2. Genesis
3. Dire Straits & M.Knopfler solo
4. Bob Dylan
5. Tom Waits
6. Frank Zappa
7. Miles Davis
8. Bill Evans
9. Keith Jarrett
10. John Coltrane
Greetings from Argentina!
Hey, thanks for watching. Your list is excellent too, though I can take or leave Tom Waits :-) Salud
It’s all good but it’s those records you don’t think are the best of the band or writer that get put on.
Some great choices in here. Love the selection
Thanks Dave, and thanks for watching
Loved watching everyone jump into this
Nice choices. And I’m new to you. Subscribed. Thank you ✌🏻
Thanks for watching and subscribing, Mazzy. I had fun doing this really made me think after watching yours. Cheers!
Thank you Andy! We share the love of music...Thanks for turning me on to Genesis "Supper's Ready"...I was more Yes and King Crimson than Genesis but hearing you say you play this track once a month got me motivated...Marvelous! I had never heard Mogwai's music before and it's exhilarating! I'm listening to "Young Team"...Something tells me I can just hit play and let this album ride...
Thanks, Gerald. Sounds like we have common tastes. I'm glad you discovered spme new stuff too. Cheers
Some great picks Andy. We overlap on about half of them. Congrats on 110 subs, well deserved. Looking forward to many more. Cheers.
Hey, thanks for watching and for your lovely comments. Cheers
I'm in total agreement with Live In The Air Age. It doesn't get mentioned near enough. It has some of the tastiest guitar playing. Not a bunch of high speed shredding.
Indeed, John, and thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers
Great video Andy, happy to be your 92nd subscriber and I hope you reach 100 soon. Congrats! ❤
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing, Emilio, Cheers
Thanks for this I know about half of these but will definitely check out the others.
Thanks for watching, William, cheers
Hi Andy, I love some albums from your list. Great video. Best from Poland
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. Cheers
You really have good taste, but now I need to check out a couple here I don’t know as I absolutely love everything else you mention. Good job !!
Thanks for watching, Philippe, and for your lovely comments. Cheers
This was great for me. Always looking for exposure to new music I haven't tried. I've already sampled a few of them on Qobuz and really like Mogwai! Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for watching, Joe. I do a monthly update video on new releases I've bought in the month. Ususally that's just a handful but I've bought so many in July I've already done a part 1 and will be doing part 2 in the next few days. Cheers
ELO's "Evil Woman" and "Strange Magic" are both fluid Masterpieces. enjoy! and of course, I'd love to hear your review. But then, anything you review is magical I love what you do. .
Thanks for watching, Reinhard, and for your lovely comments. Cheers
POKER and NIGHTRIDER from
E.L.O.s face the music....
Great stuff, Andy! Looks like you've got a popular one here. When I finally get around to doing mine, Meddle will be on there. For the same reasons.
Hey, thanks for watching and for your lovely comments. Cheers
Cheers, great list. Subscribed!
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Cheers
I’m a 71 year old prog fan who also loves many genres, I appreciate your presentation with some interesting choices.
Thank you for watching and your kind comments. Cheers
Everything Steven Wilson does is brilliant! He did an outstanding job on Aqualung.
Indeed he does. Thanks for watching, cheers
Im 54 years of age and my favourite album is The Stone Roses first album,totally took me away and still does
Thanks for watching and commenting Sean, cheers. I agree Stone Rose's eponymous debut is fabulous, an absolute classic
The Stone Roses czcams.com/video/r31BMl6fRB0/video.html
Huge record
Stone Roses first album changed my life. It was my transition from Black Flag and Husker Du, to listening to Brit alternative. Pulp, The Smiths and the Housemartins. Great times!!
I can't get over Portishead. I've got all their releases and no matter how many times I listen, I find them so surprisingly unique and meticulously put together. Like a classic sci-fi movie that only gets better with repeat viewings, so as some music critics like to say, it's 'cinematic.'
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. I think Beth Gibbons has the most achingly beautiful voice. Do you know Out of Season, her 2002 record with Rustin Man? If not definitely one to check out. I have it on CD and it's fab. Cheers
@@andysalbumsPut the hoover on and sing along with it. Portishead.
@@andysalbums
Uh! Common Sense would tell you if someone listens to something the most it would only be because it's their favorite but they just can't admit to it because there's others that they like too but they just don't want to listen to those other ones as much simply because they're not their favorites.
So quit trying to brainwash yourself into believing something that's not true.😂
I definitely need to look for that Genesis album!
My top 10 I’m listening to atm.
Nick Cave live from KCRW
( if you don’t own any Cave this is a great starter)
JJ Cale Gold (so relaxing)
The Essential Simon and Garfunkel (love their early work)
Cat Stevens Tea and Teaser
Ultimate Santana
Garfunkel Angel Clare (angelic)
Peter Paul and Mary A Song Will Rise - love their Gilgarry Mt or sometimes called Whiskey in a Jar
Simon and Garfunkel (self titled)
Wednesday Morning 3 am Simon and Garfunkel
That's a fabulous list. I have a fair bit of Cave, but mostly CD. He has a new Bad Seeds album out soon. I also need to look deeper into JJ Cale. Somehow I am completely devoid of JJ Cale. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers
Just discovered your channel so I've liked and subscribed.
I don't own any Tull records attall but I've heard plenty of their stuff over the years and i quite enjoy them. I do really like the song Locomotive Breathe.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing, Nick, cheers. I subbed back 😀
Nice personal selection, Foxtrot is one of my favorite Genesis i.e., Peter Gabrie era album as I never get tired of listening to Supper's Ready.
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers
Hi Andy, I think you touched upon a very important aspect of listening to music, and that is the emotional connections we have with certain songs and albums. You showed quite a few albums that I come back to again and again. Foxtrot is a wonderful album, and Echoes is my favourite Floyd track. I also agree with you about Live in the Air Age especially Ships in the Night. I might be be a go at this thread myself. Cheers Mike
Thanks for watching Mike. We clearly have similar tastes. I'll keep my out for your go at the thread. Cheers
Hi Andy. Just come across you via ‘suggested’. I do a similar sort of channel and similar sort of age (64). Some really great albums here and so pleased that BBDL made an appearance. Bill Nelson was such an inspiration for me at the time. Live in the Air Age is an album I’m well familiar with and I just loved the 7” that came with it. 😀👍
I’ve subbed to your channel to see a bit more of what you do. All the best mate. Dave✅✅
Thanks for watching, Dave and commenting and subscribing. I subbed back. Cheers
a refreshing and candid approach; not about the rarest, the best or the most expensive 'grails' ,but simply about you, a lot of youth and most importantly, your sonic imprints! Thank you P.S. I am wondering what my 10 most listened to albums would be (and you are so right, they not be my fav. albums). Too hard, my taste changes like the weather in Melbourne 🙂
Hey, thanks for watching and for your lovely comments. Cheers
Wow Andy this video has been a great one for your channel.. you’ve shot past 100 subscribers 👍
Indeed Rob. Bit of a surprise, but thanks fir watching. Cheers
@@andysalbums I think I’ll do a response it’s a fun video to do
@@robwalkerletthemusicplay Yes do, Rob. I found it interesting thinking through this. If I did again I'd probably change a couple but its generally not as obvious as most threads. Cheers mate
Excellent video Andy I think I might do a version myself! I absolutely love most of your choices. I couldn’t agree more on the Steven Wilson remixes I have his version of the first 6 or 7 JT albums, and I do much prefer them to my original copies - Aqualung might be the album that benefits most from a remix tbh. Talk Talk are massively underrated I listen to them all the time particularly Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. I’ve long had most of their albums on vinyl, but recently picked up their ‘best of’ which is getting spun a lot atm! I need to get more Mogwai in my collection I only have the ‘Rave Tapes’ boxset which I really like. Dummy - what an album great choice! New subscriber here cheers!
Hey, thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing. Cheers. I subbed back. Do give it a go. It was fun to make and really got me thinkng
Absolutely love Steven Wilson his music is fantastic, I wouldve filled my list with Rush nice video Subscribed cheers
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing. Cheers
My list, one album per artist
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Deep Purple - Made in Japan
Camel - Snow goose
Pink Floyd - Animals
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the aeroplane over the sea
Echo and the Bunnymen - Heaven up here
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
Supertramp - Paris
The Clash - London Calling
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
The Sound - From the lions mouth
The Waterboys - The whole of the moon
Television - Marquee Moon
Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert
That's a cracking list. I could easily have put any of those on. I only had Illinois as an MP3 but spotted a vinyl copy the other day. Thanks for watching. Cheers
Some great choices Andy, cutting across different genres . I particularly liked the Genesis, Be Bop Deluxe and Talk Talk items.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Robert. Cheers
Diverse batch of records and interesting commentary, Andy.
@@written12 Hey, thanks for watching, cheers
Your deep passion for music is a wonderful thing to observe 😊.
Thanks for Radiohead, Portishead and Talk Talk, three bands I am entirely in love with.
Hey, thaks for watching and for your lovely comments. Bleib Fröhlich!
@@andysalbums 😁 always trying 😉. Same for you 😊👍.
Good call on that Talk Talk album. I also discovered their later albums in the last couple of years. These albums are now getting a lot of listens, especially and night as I go to sleep.
Thanks for watching, Ash. It's amazing how you can discover stuff years later and wonder how on earth it passed you by at the time. Cheers
Hi Andy , as mentioned, it’s so interesting what we end up listening to when we have large collections, favourites may not be the most played etc . And surely that 14-18 imprinting period seems to crop up with so many music fans. Somehow our DNA absorbs what we are listening to during those years , perhaps in some ways it’s never quite the same again .
Thanks for watching Graham. We never lose a love for those early period records whatever decade we grew up in. I guess the mark of the real music fan is the ability not to be stuck in it
Aargh! I couldn't believe how you manhandled that Aqualung album. My fingers have never touched the playing surface of any of my albums.
Good for you but fret not. No records were hurt in the making of this video
Fab choices Andy , I must have a go at this too. Fond regards...Alan
Thanks for watching, Alan. Cheers. Do give it a go
I absolutely love Live In The Air Age...great pick!
Also...if you haven't listened to Talk Talk's live cd...it's a must, and a crime it hasn't been pressed on vinyl.
I don't have that Talk Talk live album. I'll have to look it up. Thanks for the tip. If you like live albums, check out my series "Three Live Albums". I posted episode 4 a week or two back. Thanks for watching, Robert. Cheers
Well done Alan I must get round to doing this too
Hey, thanks for watching. Do give it a go. Cheers
The incredible and unique sounds of Mogwai and Portishead!! Mark Hollis (RIP) and Talk Talk = pure music genius.
Thanks for watching and taking the trouble to comment. We have similar tastes! Cheers
I really like the idea of this list - this should be done more often by other critics: because the proof is in the pudding when it comes to this isn't it! Which music do you actually like to hear on a regular basis? What albums have been long-term staples in your life? It's all very well espousing 'worthy' or 'discerning' taste, but - what use is a 'great' album if you never want to put it on? Sometimes this gets lost in snobbery and posturing.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Jack. I just talk about what I'm listening to good or bad, but mostly good! Cheers
I'm always amazed that there is vey little live film footage of Be Bop Deluxe in concert.
Thanks for watching Nick. You're right! I don't think I've ever seen live footage of them. The only one I can think of is a relatively recent one of Bill Nelson and that was an audience recording. Cheers
Same age as me and similar taste. Never heard of Talk Talk before now. Seen BBDL a few times. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching and subscribing, John. Cheers
Thanks for the video. Have just gone on Spotify to listen to Wishbone Ash's Argus on your recommendation. It's fabulous. And Porcupine Tree seem very good too (in the same vein). Many thanks for introducing me to these albums. Oh, and by the way, I like the idea of having a "now playing" crate. That's a neat idea. (Most of my crate if I had one would be filled with Beatles and Kate Bush records, but that's another matter. lol)
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Glad you liked it. Cheers
Really nice reviews, thx.
I have picked up some Gentle Giant Steve Wilson remixes. - all good. Cannot find The Power and the Glory vinyl remix.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Jim. Cheers
You have exquisite taste, speaking as a 68 year old the first bands l saw was in 1972, wishbone ash my first experience, then Jethro Tull and pink Floyd in the same week, l was also a big fan of bebop deluxe saw in 75, definitely in my top 10 albums, along with some other mentions, groundhogs, Edgar broughton band, gentle giant, zeppelin seen in 72, argent, gong, Alex Harvey, captain beefheart, The 70s was a great time for me, 😊
Thanks for watching, Paul and for your lovely comments. The first band I saw was T Rex in 71 age 14! I saw the Groundhogs a couple of times in 72 and Gentle Giant was a support on one. I could easily have put Split on this list. Cheers
Thanks very much. I watched this and all I do is argue with myself which 10 albums I play the most.
Thanks for watching, Marcel. I know what you mean. I struggled to limit mine to ten and I could still swap a couple around
"Supper's Ready" live was phenomenal
Indeed it was. I was lucky enough to see them in Feb 73 when They were touring Foxtrot. It was few days before they recorded Genesis Live! Suppers Ready didn't make the album but they played it at the gig. So memorable. Thanks for watching and commenting, cheers
Thanks sir
You're welcome. And thank you for watching. Cheers
enjoyed your post, subscribed.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Cheers
foxtrot is great but my go to is nursery cryme - i saw them live a few times when the 3rd album was released
Thanks for watching, John. And taking the trouble to comment. I think Genesis's best three are Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot and Selling England. Foxtrot is my perennial favourite just because I think Supper's Ready is so awesome, but on any one day I can prefer any one of them. I saw them the first time in Feb 73 when they wrer touring Foxtrot (a few days before they recorded the Live album) and then again when theu toured Selling England. We have an old barrel water butt on the front drive which we call Harold! My wife banned me from stencilling HAROLD on it. She thought the neighbours would think we were nuts!
Wow! Our Musical Venn Diagram has absolutely no overlap.
Thanks for watching, all the same, Paul. These are just 10 albums I listen to a lot, not everything I like. I'd be surprised if those three circles don't intersect somewhere. What are you into?
Great taste, congrats
Thanks for watching and commenting, Jorge, cheers.
Great vid Andy. My 5 most played are the same as yours. We could chat for hours.
Thanks for watching and for your lovely comments. Cheers
Great video
Love fox Trott
My favourite genisis LP
Thanks for watching, George, and for your lovely comments. Cheers
@@andysalbums your very welcome Andy
Nice video, can see your joy of music. Here a short list I listen to pretty often. Pink Floyd Meddle & WYWH, Joy Division Unknown Pleasures, Hooker 'n Heat (Boogie Chillin), Kraftwerk Computerworld, Kate Bush Hounds of Love, Frank Zappa New York, Roxy & Elsewhere, Apostrophe, Zoot Allures...could go on for a bit but this gives you an idea what I listen to.
Thanks for watching, Michel. I like your list a lot, some crackers in there. Cheers
Absolutely love Talk Talk. Hollis uasxan amazing voice
Thanks for watching and commenting, Ken. Cheers
Before checking your list I made first My List of 10 Albums I still listen all those years. We are having one album in common. Thanks so much for bringing Mogwai under my attention
01 Gong - Shamal
02 Jethro Tull - Aqualung
03 Alquin - Nobody Can Wait Forever
04 Water - The Second Day
05 Gentle Giant * Free Hand
06 Eric Burdon & War - The Black Man's Burdon
07 Earth & Fire - Song Of The Marching Children
08 Bevis Frond - New River Head
09 TC Matic - TC Matic
10 dEUS - Worst Case Scenario
I am looking forward to hear your reaction
Thanks for watching, Freddy. Your list is fab. There are a three I don't know and will check out - Alquin, Water and TC Matic. Love Gong, such a great band. Cheers
@@andysalbums Thanks so much for your reply I knew we have both the love for music in common. Mogwai was indeed a gift I really was surprised how on earth I missed this band. I am looking forward to hear your opinion about Alquin, Water and TC Matic.
in any order....
1.IAN GILLAN BAND....clear air turbulence.
2.FRANK ZAPPA....sheikh yerbouti.
3.HAWKWIND....electric tepee.
4.DEEP PURPLE....burn.
5.SANTANA....zebop.
6.WEATHER REPORT....domino theory.
7.MILES DAVIS....tutu.
8.JOHN McLAUGHLIN....black light.
9.RETURN TO FOREVER....romantic warrior.
10.YES....tales from topographic oceans.
Great choice. Genesis, Jethro Tull, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Be Bop Deluxe. I will definitely try out some of the others which I don't know so well.
Thanks for watching, Henry, cheers. Hope you like the try-outs
Alright Mate, It tends to hack me off a bit when someone just puts down someone's choices and gives none of their own !!!. Most of those would not have been in my Ten although some of the bands would have been. Radiohead ' OK Computer' would have a cert for me. Anyways I enjoyed the Video and will be watching again. Take Care.
Thanks for watching, Alfie. This list will change over time, these are really my regular listens over the last couple of years and for some reason I've been listening to Moonshaped Pool more recently. OK is probably my favourite - toss up with Bends, but I like all their records. Cheers
Andy, I started watching the video in this thread and enjoyed watching yours, mainly because I have most of what you showed. The Talk Talk and Be Bop were what did it for me, they are both pretty well universally liked by either prog heads or just people with great taste, but still a little obscure. I tend to like King of Limbs better than Pool, and have watched the Basement video of that several times. What do you think of the Smile? Take care!
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing, Eric, cheers. The Smile album last year was fab. My equal #1 for the year. I imagine it is where Jonny and Thom would like to take Radiohead but the rest of the band is possibly in a different place. Tom Skinner is a truly brilliant drummer and an upgrade on Phil Selway imho 😀
Can't argue with your choices
Thanks for watching and commenting, James, cheers
A lovely eclectic mix with a mention for Bill Nelson and be bop deluxe !
Thanks, Neil. I never get fed up of listening to Bebop. All the albums are great and Bill is one of the great unsung guitar heroes. Thanks for watching. Cheers
@andysalbums It was Bill Nelsons Red Noise that introduced me to him Andy It's a brave new world for young moderns and all that !!!
I like that blanket/throw you have over the sofa...
Thanks for watching the video and liking my soft furnishings! :-) I've got two boystrous dogs and a throw is essential to protect the sofa. I spotted this on a Facebook ad a few months ago. I don't normally react to them but I like the look of the throw and it was good value. It was so big it covered the back cushions as well as the seat. Double sided too. This was it bowandsnow.com/products/reversible-scandinavian-bird-throw-blanket I think mine was the Large and it cost £84
Hi Andy
I like most of the Gabriel era Genesis and was a bit obsessed with those albums Trespass to The Lamb a couple of years ago.
Aqualung is terrific, but I love Living in the Past too, with Andersons' folksy acoustic numbers.
I've never investigated Porcupine Tree, I know they're quite popular in the VC.
I think I appreciate Radiohead more than actually enjoy listening to them.
Ah now Meddle..one of my go to Floyd albums, far more than DSOTM..Echoes is just a sublime side of music.
Try saying that Isaac Hayes title after a few beers..lol !!.
Dummy is wonderful..Pop hauntology at its' best.
I had an epiphany and bought a load of Talk Talk albums on CD last year and particularly liked Colour of Spring and Spirit of Eden.
The final Be Bop Deluxe album is the only one I don't have..I love Futurama.
Nice list.
Thanks for watching, Rob, and such lovely comments. Cheers
Strange. I’ve got Radiohead In Rainbows, Portishead Third, Talk Talk Spirit Of Eden and Meddle is in there too. Certain albums just get played more than others on the way to or from work. Maybe it’s the way they flow? Who knows.
It sound like we have simillar taste, Nick. Thanks for watching, subbing and commenting. Cheers
Good video.
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers
I am not sure how long a donkey year is but it must be long lol. I have tried Talk Talk but found them very difficult, at least their last couple albums were. Certain albums just grab us and bring out more emotion Very interesting Andy, I had a couple of them
Thanks for watching, Steve. A very personal mix. I think that's why this thread is interesting because it's always so personal
My go to are Dave Brubeck Time Out. City Boy. Young Men Gone West Kansas Leftoverture. Alice Cooper. From the Inside. Elton John 11/17/70. A Night at the Opera Queen. About Face David Gilmour.
Great choices. I bought City Boy Young Men Gone West when it was released back in the 70s and I think you are the only other person I've come across who has it. I don't listen to it enough. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting, Bobby, cheers
@@andysalbums that’s when I discovered it. A local radio station here in Boston played a few tracks from it and I loved it. I was in high school at that time. Lol Mason and Steve Broughton, they were great together. I found an interview with their lead guitarist Max Slammer. Very underrated band. They had very little notice here in the USA. They were in the same vibe as 10CC.
@@BostonBobby1961 They were a local band from my hometown Birmingham. I was very into 10cc at the time too and any one of Sheet Music, Original Soundtrack or How Dare You! could easily have made my 10.
@@andysalbums my favorite 10CC track. Feel the Benefit.
Isaac Hayes, Portishead so good! I just uploaded my 10 most played. Bit more on the harder side my picks.
Thanks for watching, Jason. I suubed you and will take a look at yours. Cheers
United State of Mind, Trower
Robin Trower and Maxi Priest. That's an interesting mix. I'm going to check out United State of Mind. THanks for the tip, Ken, and for watching. Cheers
My copy of Live in the Air Age has a second LP, though that one only has music on one side. It does seem odd and a bit disappointing that they didn't fill both LPs with music as they surely had enough stuff to do that with.
I'm not really anything like a diehard Be Bop Deluxe fan, but based on what I've heard, this like album is the best of their stuff...
Thanks for watching and commenting, Aaron. The 2021 3 CD remaster is worth checking out. The full Hammersmith Odeon concert across two of them is epic. Cheers
A few of mine:
In Rainbows-- Radiohead
There is Love in You-- Four Tet
Untrue-- Burial
Looping State of Mind-- The Field
Taking Tiger Mountain-- Brain Eno
Black Saint and the Sinner Lady-- Mingus
Nice selection, Richard, and thanks for watching. Burial could easily have been in mine
@@andysalbums I just noticed that from my list you might think I'm British. I'm actually from Texas.
@@RichardSmith-ot3zk two of my favourite bands hail from Texas: Explosions in the Sky and Midlake. Then of course there is ZZ Top (who I do quite like) 😆
@@andysalbums I'm not usually into singer-songwriter stuff, but James McMurtry is worth checking out if you haven't already. Look up a live solo version of Choctaw Bingo. He raises a lot of hell with just an acoustic guitar. Being from up there, it's spot on.
@@RichardSmith-ot3zk will do - I've added him to my must-listen list. Thanks for the tip. Cheers
Genesis? Foxtrot second only to Selling England...Jethro Tull? We see eye to eye on Aqualung. Radiohead? OK Computer (or Bends). Pink Floyd? Meddle second only to Animals. Be Bop Deluxe? Drastic Plastic. Where we differ: King Crimson Red and Starless and Bible Black. Stranglers Black and White and The Raven. The Skids Days in Europa and Circus Games. Finally, Led Zeppelin Presence.
Thanks for watching, Alaine, and taking the time to comment. I was very close to including Red, just had to leave somethiing out. If I was doing this a couple of years ago I probably would have included Stranglers' Rattus Novegicus
Be bop deluxe! What are your thoughts on Modern Music. Perhaps my favorite of their 5.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Jason. Modern Music is a close second to Sunburst Finish for me. On any one day, I can prefer either, but at the time it was Sunburst. Most Nelson fans I know prefer Modern Music though tbf. Cheers
Obviously, the Dummy cd has It's a Fire on it, which is stunning.
Indeed, Rob. THanks for watching. Cheers
Interesting list, do you have Slint - Spiderland ?
Thanks for watching, Shawn, cheers. I do indeed have Spiderland. Fab album. I did a series of videos a few months ago on post-rock. One each on Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mono and Explosions in the Sky and then a wrap up on the formative years of the genre which included Spiderland
@andysalbums I'm gonna look that up. I know all of those, went through a heavy period of that for a bit and got burnt out. I just got the 2XCD Shoegaze thing Steve showed and it's got a Mogwai song that made me think I needed to revisit.
@@Shawn_the_GREAT I was surprised to see Mogwai on Waves of Distortion. Beach House too. Neither band I think of as shoegaze. I'm about to record part 2 of my monthly new releases video (so many in July I've already done part 1) and you might spot a certain shoegaze compilation! 🤣
Hi Andy, well you suprised me because I thought you were going to show straight ten overplayed prog albums from the 1970s and having not seen your channel I was stereotyping. Sorry. Portishead are probably one of the best bands of the last 40 years despite only three studio albums. Talk Talk I have spirit of Eden but not that one. Nice one and nice to see another Brit onboard. Cheers, Martin.
Thanks for watching, Martin. My early record buying was from the early seventies but I've been listening to and collecting new music right up to this day, though I did dip out for most of the eighties. In hindsight, I should have put on Lemon Jelly's Lost Horizons but I only have it on CD (though it's a CD that is packaged as well as the best vinyl packaging). Cheers
I listen to my 2 surf music comps a lot: kahuna classics and surf crazy. madonna-ray of light. Santana's 1st 4 albums. Blue oyster cult specters. Marley-exodus, genesis-selling england, kiss-alive, Billy idol-rebel yell, testament-the gathering, floyd-animals, random Tull, king crimson, iron maiden, testament. old Tull albums have cool gatefolds like stand up and thick as a brick
Hey, thanks for watching. You've got great taste except for Kiss! - joke :-)
@@andysalbums lol. The kiss is a party album. And only that 1st live album. Not a kiss fan but that live album has so much energy. Also, I was thinking about this more, and for a long time Prodigy-Fat of the Land was the house theme. And just for perspective, I believe the 70's prog was the best music ever created in the history of mankind. Annnnnd, king crimson is my all-time favorite band with testament 2nd. LOL, I have the Crystal Gayle original masters playing...i'm all over the map. She has one of the best voices ever (best is Annie Haslam from renaissance) PS. An 'Echoes' party was a sacred event. And "one of these days..' Meddle IS a special album
Wow. I love Madonna's Ray of Light too! Thought I was the only one in existence.
So what is your audio gear consist of listening to your music?
Hey, thanks for watching. My equipment? I've replaced most of it over the last 2-3 years and currently have mostly Cambridge Audio, not entirely by design but responding to good value offers! I've got a CXA80 amp with CXC cd transport, which uses the amp's DAC via a digital co-ax cable, bought after my old Cyrus cd player died a few months back. I have a lot of digital files on a server and a Cambridge Audio network streamer the Azur N851, another sale offer a 2-3 years back. That's paired with the amp via a pair of balanced xlr cables. My turntable is quite unusual. It's also a Cambridge Audio, the Alva TT (v1). I was looking to upgrade my old Rega P3 and this offer popped into my inbox direct from CA for a factory refurbished model at less than half the price of a new V2. It's a direct drive with MC cartridge, and built in phono stage based on CA's Duo model. What makes it different is it can output bluetooth AptX HD, which means if you have a good enough bluetooth speaker it will stream the vinyl output at 24bit. It's really handy for playing vinyl records when I'm in a different room, e.g. the kitchen, which is most of the time. I have a Dali Katch G2 bluetooth speaker which is AptX HD compatible. Finally the main speakers are Bower & Wilkins 702 S2 floorstanders. Another offer that popped into my inbox when I was looking to upgrade my old bookshelf speakers. These were ex-demo from one of the big hifi chains. They were asking £4k which was way outside my range. I think they made a mistake on the price judging by the nightmare I had getting them to fulfill the order!
Sorry for the ridiculously long reply but you did ask! :-)
@@andysalbums Thank you for sharing. Your system is awesome.
Just came across your vid there Andy, good, enjoyed it. Some obvious classics in there with a few I've played to death over the years, namely Argus, Meddle, Foxtrot, Aqualung and the Be Bop Deluxe Live album. Im a Tull whore, i have about 5 different vinyl copies and the same on cd hahaha

That's a fine, eclectic mix you've got there, David. I've got a few Marillion records but I don't know that one. I'll be checking it out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers
Hi 👋 I remember Issac Hayes and his classic hit Shaft back in 1971. Such a cool track. I think he charted with another hit titled Disco Connection in 1976. I'm in my sixties, and spent the 1970s in my teens. I liked that decade for music. There was alot of experimenting then. I liked the British Punk Rock scene, groups such as The Damned, Buzzcocks, Sex Pistols, the Stranglers etc.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Carl. I enjoyed the punk bands too. The Stranglers and the Damned were my favourites. The Jam was probably my favourite late 70s band though. Cheers
@@andysalbums Yes i like the Jam too. I was listening to them last night. I liked the album Sound Effects back in 1980, and the song That's Entertainment from it. Paul Weller is such a good singer and songwriter. He still puts out music and performs live.
I thought I was looking at Bill Barr when I initially viewed this channel. Lol
I've no idea who Bill Barr is and don't really care
if you dont mind me saying, you'll loose a lot of listeners such as myself who are not willing to scroll through to see if there are any albums I might be interested in hearing your opinion about. So without a list, nor you holding up the album cover clearly and long enough for someone to be able to catch if they choose to scroll through the video scroll. So no I wasn't, I tried but not was clear, so I opted out and will come back one more time as I am interested in hearing older peoples opinions because they have the most expense that could add a worthy opinion. Good luck otherwise.
I don't mind at all, Jude, I appreciate constructive feedback. Thank you. Here's the list in order I went through (which wasn't in any particular order)...
Genesis - Foxtrot
Mogwai - Young Team
Wishbone Ash - Argus
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul
Portishead - Dummy
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Be-Bop Deluxe - Live! In the Air Age
oh dear,oh dear 😔
I guess you didn't like my choices, Steve? Thanks for watching all the same
oh dear what?
Maxi Priest
Got to disagree about Talk Talk they’ve always been great
Thanks for watching. You are right, but I never got them in the 80s and still don't like the first album. It's me! There wasn't much from that period I liked at the time tbh not just TT but the whole early/mid-80s scene. The Colour of Spring was magnificent too but I wasn't listening at the time. Cheers
You cant beat 12'' cardboard covers
Thanks for watching and commenting. I have one cd (Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons) where the packaging is as good as an LP, but generally LP covers/artwork triumph
@@andysalbums I wish all CDs had come in 12'' covers
Very interesting list. Here are mine. Was 17 in 71. All of these except Airbag were bought on vinyl at time of first release.
Wishbone Ash - Argus *
Caravan - In The Land Of Grey And Pink *
Yes - Close To The Edge *
Genesis - Trick Of The Tail *
Todd Rundgren - Initiation *
Steely Dan - The Royal Scam *
Carole King - Tapestry
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Airbag - The Greatest Show On Earth (CD)
The Doobie Brothers - The Captain And Me
The * denotes the bands that I have also seen perform live.
Hey, thanks for watching. Great list you have there. Airbag is a band I've been getting in to last couple of years. Another modern prog band worth checking out is Riverside. They hail from Warsaw and their fabulous debut is 20-odd years old already. Slightly reminiscent of Porcupine Tree. I'm a philistine with Yes, I prefer Fragile and the Yes Album to CTTE. I know it's wrong! 😄Also a philistine with Steely Dan. There's just something about Donald Fagen's vocals I don't like. Like sprouts I keep trying but somehow I don't get it 🤣Cheers
Und schöön mit den fingern auf den schallplatten rumgetatscht, ei, ei, ei...
Ja, ich weiß, aber es ist schwierig, sie herauszuholen, ohne sie zu berühren, und wenn ich Fingerabdrücke auf der Abspielfläche bekomme, reinige ich die Schallplatte
@@andysalbums ja, dass handling ist echt umständlich. War auch nicht böse gemeint. Ich muss eh nix sagen, ich hab meine alten platten immer noch in den original sleeves. Das ist auch nicht optimal. 😂
Keep your paws off the vinyl. Your record handling should be a felony. Stick to streaming.
I don't mind constructive feedback but not from people who feel the need to be rude
Echoes👍
Hey, thanks for watching, Terrence, cheers 👍
All mod cons the jam and quadrophenia the who class albums
Thanks for watching, Sheila. Class albums indeed! I love the Jam and All Mod Cons appeared in one of my vids a few months ago. I like the Who but just don't love them. Cheers
You’re handling your record wrong especially putting your hands on your albums
Thanks for watching Jim. I'll take your comment as constructive feedback which is good, i've had some rude ones and your's isn't. I do know how to handle records, I've been doing it for years. But getting an old record out of an old bag quickly on camera sometimes is hard. I do try and not put my hands on the playing surface but sometimes fail. If I get a finger mark on I clean the vinyl and I have a bloody good cleaning machine. It's a calculated risk I take. Thanks for your concern
😢Old fart past his bedtime!
If you don't like why bother posting a rude comment? Is it just show everyone you are a slimy knob?
