What’s your favourite album of all time

[Billybagpuss]

DH and I embraced the shuffle generation very early on from our very first iPod and before that mixed tapes. It seems like decades since we last actually listened to an album.

today we had a long drive so we’ve done
Bat out of Hell (I’d forgotten how good that was)
brothers in arms
a Joni Mitchell one was a bit dreary
Ella Fitzgerald gold (absolutely brilliant)
Invisible touch (it seems the fuck up your life lyric has been cleansed on Spotify)

give me your recommendations we are very open minded with music tastes and genres the only thing that brings the shutters slamming down is rap

Darlk side of the moon
rumours
bat out of hell
hotel California

Ooh yes Dark Side of the Moon, good shout.

Oh, how could I have forgotten 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields. Sublime.

There aren't many albums i can listen to all the way through - but the one that I do listen to a regularly, and have done since I first purchased it in 1984, is Eden by Everything But the Girl. It just takes me back to my student days and I still love it.

Angel Dust is in my top 10 of all time, Faith No More were amazing.

The Cure-Disintegration
The Chameleons-Script of The Bridge
Editors-An End Has A Start
Joy Division-Closer
