Sparks / Kimono My House
(First album I ever bought)
Here’s a good track from it:
Hasta Manana, Monsieur
Emerson Lake & Palmer / Brain Salad Surgery
Here’s Karn Evil 9 - 1st Impression - Part 2
Art Of Noise / Invisible Silence
I had this on cassette and commuted to London every day with it in my tiny JVC Walkman.
Instruments of darkness (1986 Album version)
David Bowie / Young Americans
I can’t pick only one track but I did
Right (2016 Remaster)
Bob Marley – now, I don’t actually know the title of the album, I bought it on cassette out in Papua New Guinea in 1975 in the market and PNG being PNG it was of course a pirate cassette, and it had “Rastaman Vibration” on the cover, but the track listing (I find out years later) bore no resemblance to the named album, it was an assortment of other tracks by BM & The Wailers.
Here’s one of my favourites from the pirate cassette, this version of 400 Years (1970) - Bob Marley & The Wailers
The Goodies / Nothing To Do With Us
This is probably one of the more surprisingly good tracks (suitably non-PC) - She Wouldnt Understand
I discovered this in the days before the internet, where you either heard good stuff on the radio, via friends, or just took a chance and bought the record.
I usually started with my well-thumbed copy of The NME Book of Rock, with an A-Z listing of bands, and their discography. I had a few Hawkwind albums, but not this one. Back at a post-gig friends flat, he expressed incredulity that I’d never heard it, and grinning, dropped the needle on the record and watched my startled expression as the music kicked in.
It has everything - proper space rock and synth madness, with Lemmy in the engine room.
I went into town and bought a copy the next day. Initially disappointed when I found my ‘new’ record was actually second-hand, that evaporated when I realised the original I now had, had all the extra Barney Bubbles cover bits.
Still up there in my top 5.
Saw a performance of the album a few years back by the Hawklords, which included a fair few members from Hawkwind itself, including Nik Turner who’s on the album.
Since I’ve memorised every bass note on the album I was waiting for Alan Davey to slip up, but fair play, he was note perfect. Lemmy would have approved.
Kate Bush / The Kick Inside
OH to be in Love. DEMO
Electric Light Orchestra / A New World Record
via @YouTube
Tightrope - Vinyl recording HD
The Cars / The Cars
Superb first album (and the second, Candy-O, was superb too, but I think this is the more memorable for me, it was a summer, in Australia).
THE CARS ― BYE BYE LOVE / MOVING IN STEREO / ALL MIXED UP (1978)
Have to add Metamatic - John Foxx to my list, I still remember hearing Underpass on John Peel & I was totally blown away - click click drone.......
The Boomtown Rats / A Tonic For The Troops
Difficult to choose just one Me And Howard Hughes
Brian Eno / Before And After Science
Insufferable know-all, but I have to admit, this is his best and the album influenced me greatly
By This River (2004 Digital Remaster)
Simple Minds / Empires And Dance
When they were still mainly thinking of themselves as an experimental electronics band. I bought more than one copy of this (well, two).
This Fear Of Gods
John Foxx / Metamatic
No-One Driving (2014 Remastered Version)
The Residents / Duck Stab
Okay, it’s an EP, but I owned it and played it to thin-ness
Bach is Dead
The B-52’s / The B-52’s
Superb first album
Dance This Mess Around - 11/7/1980 - Capitol Theatre (Offic...
YMG!
Blondie / Eat To The Beat
SLOW MOTION(1979)
Cabaret Voltaire / The Voice Of America
This was an overplayed album for me, too
This Is Entertainment
Oh, and quite a lot of Odyssey, I can’t remember which album it was, almost all of their output appealed to me. Don’t laugh.
Inside Out (TOTP 1982)
An aside
This is the Boomtown Rats new one, video out a week ago, I hadn’t realised (although for some reason I’ve had Tonic on my phone playlist for the past few months).
The Boomtown Rats - Trash Glam Baby (Official Video)
Can someone tell me, I ask you, why is it that all bands eventually converge into a nexus that is basically the band, any band, turning into U2? Simple Minds turned into U2, Depeche Mode turned into U2, they all do.
Hearing this man play this (first) piece drove me to study African guitar for 25 years. Eventually my teacher got fed up with me and threw me out of the class. Great times.
Radiohead - Kid A
Father John Misty - Fear Fun
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimist
Nirvana - MTV Unplugged
Otis Redding - The Very best of Otis Redding
The Kinks - Lola abs the Powerman and the Money Go Round
Beatles - Anthology
The Black Keys - Thickfreakness
So many others just the first 10 I could think of......
Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier
Madness - One step Beyond
Yazoo - Upstairs at Erics
Depeche Mode - Black Celebration/Music for the Masses/Violator/Songs of Faith and Devotion
Leftfield - Leftism
Prodigy - The Fat of the Land
Nine inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
The Cure - Disintegration
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Unkle - Psyence Fiction
Cheated with DM. Couldn't choose just 1.
I'd probably add Faith No More - The Real Thing too at Nº 11. It got me into guitars.
An honourable mention to the Art of Noise and Frankie Goes to Hollywood for singles that were proper stand out moments too. Those early Trevor Horn productions sounded incredible to me at the time.
EDIT. I think I want to change my list. Every day.
Funhouse
Hunky Dory
Live at Max’s Kansas City
Horses
Green River
Marquee Moon
Let It Bleed
Here Come The Warm Jets
Street Hassle
Are We Not Men?
Great song from an underrated album.
Here’s an alternate version from the abandoned Goucher album:
I’ll make an attempt of important albums but 10 isn’t enough for me
Beatles: Revolver
Beach House: Beach House
Jimi Hendrix: Axis
Hawkwind: Space Ritual
J Dilla: Donuts
Bright Eyes: Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil
James Brown: The Payback
Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures
Parliament Funkadelic: Mothership Connection
Miles Davis: Bitches Brew
A couple honorable mentions I have to include are The Pharcyde: Labcabincalifornia and discovering live Grateful Dead and there’s so many more I’m missing
10 vinyl albums that rocked my world (minus the rock...).
I still own them all, except the Wombles which my mother gave to the church jumble sale.
