eFestivals Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 To help fill the time, we all need good suggestions of different things to do. So recommend a classic album - but *NOT* your favourite album or your favourite act. A proper classic. Cos I saw 'Metal Britannica' on BBC4 the other night, I'll kick things off with... Deep Purple - Deep Purple In Rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Not an album per se, but a club night streaming live, playing dark lands by jesus and mary chain in full Saturday-Sunday How Does It Feel To Be Loved? https://facebook.com/events/s/hdif-march-21st-virtual-dance-/208876617128146/?ti=wa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Rush - Moving Pictures is right there. I do like Rush but they're nowhere near my favourite act. Moving Pictures is a record that's hard not to appreciate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastynh Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Happy Mondays - Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches. Seems to get forgotten about these days, in comparison to Screamadelica and The Stone Roses. Yet it is a true great and can't fail to put a smile on your face. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre91 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 It's Electric Wizard's 'Dopethrone' 20 year anniversary this year so that's a great reason to listen to it if you haven't before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillhouse188 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I've been listening to a lot of Avalanches lately, Since I Left You is a great escape from reality.

The Red Telephone Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I’m going to recommend two as, in my eyes (and ears) they are the same album...even they were relased 3 years apart. They aren’t my favourite albums of all time, buy definitely in the top 20. Whenever I’m in the mood to listen to them, I get totally ensconced in them and listen to nothing else for a week. Then I don’t listen to them for about 6 months! Perfect at delicate times and at times of change, they sound amazing in Autumn. And at times of pandemic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubby Dude in a Tiny Car Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) bit of a weird one - but Bruce's Born to Run i love Bruce, i've followed him round the world, and i love Born to Run - but it is NOT my favourite album. so why is that? well, because Side2 Track2 is She's the One and i cant stand that song!! it pains me that what is otherwise the most perfect album ever made is dragged down by those crappy few minutes between BTR and Meeting... sorry, i'm not entirely sure i wrote that out in the spirit of the OP, but anyways...
