Albums that have stood the test of time...

[CHAPPERS]

Recently i've found myself reaching more and more for older albums that i don't listen to regularly and thought i'd share with you a few of the albu

ms that sound as fresh as the day i bought them and I hope you would like to participate in my thread by doing the same...

Ash - 1977 - Some great tunes on there. Goldfinger, Oh Yeah, Angel Interceptor to name a few. Unbelieveably now 8 years old that album.

Super Furry Animals - Fuzzy Logic - A blinding album filled with fun pop tunes and some great comedy as well. Marvellous. Now 7 years old.

Asian Dub Foundation - R.A.F.I - Class.


The Prodigy - Fat of the Land - Coz it f***ing BANGS.

 

[Braders]

1977 rules!

 

[Easy 10]

Def Leppard - Hysteria. So many tremendous tracks.

 

[Marc]

AC/DC - Back In Black, came out on 1980 and is still regarded as one of the best rock albums of all time. Also believe its the 2nd highest EVER selling album.

 

[aftershavedave]

neil young's after the goldrush and almost any jacques brel have stood the test of time imho

 

[Albion Dan]

Leftfield - Leftism (timeless dance tunage)

Stone Roses - Stone Roses (best ever?)

Happy Mondays - Pills Thrills and Bellyaches

Prinal Scream - Screamadellica

 

[Dandyman]

Transformer, Let's get it on, The Clash...

 

[Highfields Seagull]

I once set my radio to wake me up in the morning but accidentally left it on CD rather than radio. Unfortunately 1977 was in there so I was woken up to the sound of the Star Wars Tie Fighter - one of the scariest things I've ever experienced as my half asleep brain was renched into consciousness - I think my heart missed a few beats as I tried to work out "what the f*** is that?"

ps I take it everyone has haerd the bit at the end of the last track (about 7 minutes after the music finishes) when there is a recording of the bas player throwing up. For four minutes.

Back in Black is fantastic!

I love dinosaurs of rock. Paranoid by Black Sabbath is a good un and I also really liked Love by The Cult.

 

[Icy Gull]

Dark Side of the Moon - 30 years old
Wish you were here

Late for the Sky - Jackson Browne (so old I doubt many have heard of him or it)

Let's get it on - Marvin Gaye

 

[albiongirl]

Def Lepard - Hysteria I agree is fantastic also

Guns and Roses Appetite for Destruction

 

[albiongirl]

Purple Rain -Prince

 

[METALMICKY]

Thin Lizzy- Live & Dangerous (released in 1977). Quite possibly the greatest live rock album ever. A glorious marriage of Gibson & Marshall aided by great songs.
