Many, many great albums but Bat Out of Hell stands out for me. The art work, the singer, the composition, all ahead of it’s time and unique.

i saw Freddie mercury yesterday. best performance I've seen!

Really? I'd have thought he'd be pretty quiet now!

@Leafsontheline You so nearly got it right. Meatloaf Bat out of hell was my first thought.

no matter how many of these threads there are & how much 'you tube' playing I do, there are always still albums I'm not familiar with.

mind you, I wore out Billy Joel's greatest hits! That Meatloaf and 'phantom & Les mis) so...

TranquilityofSolitude · 22/05/2022 06:25

I love these threads to remind me of albums I've forgotten since my music became playlists and the radio.

I'd pick Screamadelica, Primal Scream, and AM, Arctic Monkeys.
