I've just been transported to 1993 when I met my Ex husband
He brought Luck of the draw by Bonnie Raitt"
I was reminded of the opening line " Turn down the bed" by a poster on another thread!
My last Partner, the album was All the little lights" by Passenger.
Listening to Luck of the draw as I'm composing this.

Reminiscing to lots of these
The first album I ever bought was Parallel lines by Blondie, Regatta de blanc by The Police 1979
I got a summer holiday Job and saved every penny to buy a Panasonic music centre which was my pride and joy.
Loving all your contributions and have played lots as I've read them!

And I loved the way albums “flowed”. One track to the next and you knew what was coming. Shuffle is the devil!

Absolutely. You can't listen to a great album on shuffle.

Also back to 1993.
Together Alone - Crowded House.

I was 12, it was one of my first albums on CD. 30 plus years later and it's still one of my go to albums.

Songs from the big chair .. tears for fears

Daffydoll · 08/06/2025 18:29

Hopes and Fears by Keane

DoctorMarten · 08/06/2025 18:31

Mezzanine by Massive Attack. Pure class. Followed by Blue Lines.

DoctorMarten · 08/06/2025 18:34

And my first love: Hunting High and Low by Aha. Oh I played that endlessly aged 15. Morten’s voice is spectacular - gutted about his diagnosis.

FastFood · 08/06/2025 18:47

Oh thats hard
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon collie and blablabla
Primal Scream - Screamadelica
Supergrass - I should Coco
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Radiohead - The Bends

Can't choose. Won't choose.

John Martyn - Grace and Danger. I was introduced to it in my first term in Halls in University & life was never quite the same.

DJSteves · 08/06/2025 18:56

Nirvana - Nevermind
The Music - The Music
Stone Roses first Album
Bloc Party- Silent Alarm

Give it half an hour and I will have four more. Good shout on Supergrass though. Man Sized Rooster always makes me happy.

Garbage - version 2.0 and Stereophonics - Performance and Cocktails - both albums on repeat in my car after passing my driving test and also all through my first year at uni.

Comedy, Black.
Especially, You're A Big Girl Now. I was 22. Still can't believe he's gone. What a voice.

Iwasjustasking · 08/06/2025 22:30

The streets - a grand don’t come for free, the most amazing story telling and clever lyrics, nothing will ever beat this album for me.
