    Oddly enough, I did something similar tonight. Listened to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album. Sounds just as good today as it did in 1977.

    Might have to go and have a lie down now too. Stevie Nicks... :)

    My favourite album is Seamonsters by The Wedding Present. An album that The Melody Maker famously claimed was akin to getting your eardrums sandblasted. Which is a very cool thing to write, but suggests the album isn't very good. I disagree, quite strenuously. Hot on the heels of that is Psychocandy by The Jesus and Mary Chain. I love what I call indie, that has nothing to do with what most people call indie. And I love Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. And I love Paul Simon's Graceland. And I hear very little difference between Paul Simon and Fleetwood Mac and The Velvet Underground and The Wedding Present and The Mary Chain and Allo Darlin and Martha and Gold-Bears - they're all wonderfully written, intense pieces of music, with amazing lyrics, it's just the production is different. And the intro to Second Hand News is just, just, wow...

    When times go bad
    When times go rough
    Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
    And let me do my stuff

    It's not often these days that I listen to a whole album from start to finish, but when I do it's invariably one of the classics from my youth, and one with no fillers. So any of the following will do it for me, I love them all...

    Bowie - Hunky Dory
    Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny
    Eagles - Hotel California
    Khan - Space Shanty
    Killing Joke - Killing Joke
    Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
    Be Bop Deluxe - Sunburst Finish
    Cocteau Twins - Treasure
    Steely Dan - The Royal Scam
    Siouxsie & The Banshees - The Scream
    The Jam - All Mod Cons
    Joy Division - Closer
    Neil Young - Harvest

    ... and Rumours of course.

    Probably forgotten a few.

    I lived in Woking for a while. And regularly used to walk with some friends and their dogs in the sandpits on Horsell common where they landed

    I’m on a 6 month free trial of Apple Music at the moment. Just listened to Parallel lines for the first time in ages and A Night at The Opera. Whilst driving up to Wombwell this evening I’d forgotten how good they were. Hunky Dory is one of the next on the list. Think I’ll add The War of The Worlds as well
    Other recent classics were A Kick Inside and Rumours

    As an aside the new Abba album Voyage is quite good too

    Did you listen in the dark? As teenage boys in the 1970s,we used to love listening to albums in the dark. It's a great thread this,so many memories of the albums and tracks. Listening to music and the radio,is so much better than TV,even though thete are many many channels.
