Superunknown Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Don't know if it's already been mentioned but on facebook there's a page called The Greatest Album of Time and it's been doing polls of albums. Started out with 2,064 albums and did a group stage and then moved to knockout rounds. It's down to like the final 4 now I think but if you wanted to go back and look at what's got through, it got me listening to a lot of classic albums I hadn't bothered with before. There's also a hip hop one that's just started too and I think he's doing a best album of the 2000's. The final 4 are Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band vs Abbey Road & My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy vs Dark Side of the Moon in case you were wondering.

Last year camped at Deer Shed Festival chap next to me asked if I was a Rush fan. Regarding albums i will go with The Lost Riots by Hope of the States. Very appropriate in these challenging times Really sad but they played John Peel in 2004 after a certain band from Las Vegas took on the world. I walked into the tent and saw last few songs by The Killers , but wanted to get a spot for HOTS - how things work out eh ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Damon's finest hour (50:43 to be precise) Maybe because it's a cartoon band, it doesn't get as much credit as it deserves, but it's a masterpiece IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I’m returning to Cat Stevens, the World Food Programme advert is very moving, more so by the use of one of his songs from this album: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibukushakeshake Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 20 years old now (😬) so I think can go into the classic category slightly cheating as it's basically three albums but absolutely top notch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
