What’s your favourite album?

[2019hereicome]

I’ve set myself a fun New Years resolution to listen to a lot more albums. What is your favourite album?

My taste is pretty eclectic. Some of my favourite bands and artists are Queen, Greenday, Swmrs, Ed Sheeran, PINK, the who, linkin park. I also like a lot of folky and Irish traditional stuff as well like the Clancy brothers and the Dubliners.

Anyway fire away with some suggestions

Hunky Dory ..Bowie
Transformer..Lou Reed

I love Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry, every track brilliant....

American Idiot - Green Day
Nimrod - Green Day
Poetry Of The Deed - Frank Turner
The Tension And The Spark - Darren Hayes

BTW another SWMRS fan! Haven't been able to get to see them since the name change but saw them when they were Emily's Army. Great band!

Thanks for all the fab suggestions everyone. I have a lot of listening to do!.

MadisonAvenue, I've never seen them live but would love to! although I'm not up to date on the new album so thats a priority listen for me.
