    Some awesome albums mentioned here already which would be well up there on my list. How to even pick a favourite Beatles album? Plenty of people going for Rubber Soul, Revolver and Abbey Road but nobody has gone for Sergeant Pepper or the White Album. Personally I can't separate them.

    Albums not mentioned already that I find myself returning to regularly, or return to less often but I'm always blown away by them when I do, include:

    Leftfield - Leftism
    REM - could be any of their albums depending on my mood, but New Adventures in Hi-Fi probably shades it. Just.
    The Decemberists - The King is Dead
    Pet Shop Boys - Please / Actually
    Dexys - Searching for the Young Soul Rebels
    Hybrid - Wide Angle
    Carter USM - The Love Album
    Radiohead - The Bends
    Belly - King
    Blur - Modern Life is Rubbish
    Marina - The Family Jewels
    Zemfira - Zemfira
    Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia
    Velvet Underground & Nico
    Air - Moon Safari
    Suede - Dog Man Star
    Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
    Rush - Moving Pictures
    Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
    Les Rythmes Digitales - Darkdancer

    And then there's the artists whose albums I've not listened to that much but I often put on shuffle on Spotify or listen to compilations.

    Elton John
    Dolly Parton
    Abba
    Suzanne Vega
    Elvis Presley
    Bowie
    Depeche Mode
    Motown and Northern Soul compilations aplenty. Ditto early 80's synth and New Wave.

    This is all just off the top of my head. I'm sure there's absolutely loads I've missed off.

    Tindersticks' first album, as much now because of the impact it had on me at the time and my memories of it as of the album itself.

    You know they're touring with The Postal Service in the summer and performing Transatlanticism to mark its 20th Anniversary? Tickets still available.

    It's a brilliant album but not one for every day. Makes Automatic for the People sound light and uplifting!

    Yeah, nowhere nearby though :( seen them quite a few times so not overly disappointed. Hoping they might add a Manchester date.

    Have you bought the Reissue of The Love album. It s really well done with some great extra tracks and live stuff. I’d very much recommend.

    Have you heard David Boulters spoken word album Lovers Walk? Now that’s somber. I can barely listen to it.

    No, cheers for the heads up. Will definitely check it out. Never went to see Carter live as their concerts were reported to be extremely hazardous! Really wish I had.

    One of my favourite ever cover versions.

    Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik & By the way, both fantastic albums. Californication is fantastic too, but the mixing & mastering is atrocious, a victim of the loudness war at the time.

    Tears For Fears - The seeds of love

    Rumours, obviously

    The 1975 - Self Titled & their latest offering Being funny in a foreign language.

    Something a bit more left field, Anathema - Weather Systems

    Dream Theater - Scenes from a memory

    As good as the first album is, I think I prefer the second.

    Some of the best times of my life we are Carter concerts and Jon Beast (RIP) was very entertaining. Such great bouncy fun.

    I tend to listen to the instrumental version as I find it just too much. Yarmouth is one of my favourite recent albums as well shows a deftness of touch
