36 years old and I've just discovered Rumours by Fleetwood Mac! What other classic albums might I like?

I'm obviously a bit slow on the uptake (and resisted because my dad likes Fleetwood Mac)

Are there any other popular albums I would previously have dismissed that I should listen to?

Bat out of Hell?

Pink Floyd - The Wall?
Leftfield - Leftism?
Joni Mitchell - Blue?
Jeff Buckley - Grace?
Pixies - Doolittle?
David Bowie - Changes?
Neil Young - Harvest?

Bit hard to know without you saying what you usually listen to. How about starting with Q magazines 100 all time greatest albums list?

Thats a good idea strawberry!

Not bat out of hell - has bad memories of a very bad date!!!!

Like a mix, 70's late punk and glam rock, 80's Pop and Goth, 90's Britpop/indie dance music, 2000 mainly dance and pop - pretty eclectic. Britney Spears, Suede, Bowie and Duran Duran all happily co-exist on my ipod!

Aerial by Kate Bush?

Ash - 1977

"What's Goin' On" - Marvin Gaye. Oft voted best album in polls over the years.

<btw, saw Fleetwood Mac on the 'Rumour's Tour - not sure have seen a musically-better concert from a 'pop' band. Congrats on going your own way in your dreams....

Used to be obsessed with Rumours! grin grin

Going to trot out my old favourites...The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, The Hollies etc.

Tango in the Night and Tusk are good too.

I love Rumours too. especially The Chain and the original Songbird that other people thought was first sung by Eva Cassidy.

I also like the Ziggy Stardust Album by David Bowie, loads of good tracks and Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel which was recently on a documentary.

I liked tango in the Night too and Blondie Parallel Lines is another favourite

FM are fab - and especially Lindsey Buckingham (DW is #1 fan!!)

Guess who we are going to see tonight - meet and greet and everything - DW will be like grin on the front row all night!

Stevie is good too and Christine McVie has a couple of albums too. Many of them work on each others solo projects.
