Perfect Albums

[pinkparkhorse]

Top 5 of Queen albums. Maybe in my top 5 period. I agree with you. Funny though, A Night At the Opera doesn't make my top 5 Queen albums. It is a mater piece. The title track, Show Must Go On. Even Delila (sp?) Anyway his vocal stuns me on that album still and I had it the day it came out

I agree about A Night at the Opera. It’s great but there’s one song I can’t remember the title of that’s kind of droning and goes on way too long that kinda pulls me out of it.

The Prophets Song. Only Queen song I hate. Ruins the whole album almost. That and I can't listen to BoRo with the appreciation it deserves anymore.

I could do this all day lol. Not often I meet a real Queen fan.

One of my favorite bands for sure. I have to admit that they are well before my time but I’ve gone back and listened to everything many times. Musically I think I was born in the wrong era lol.

Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack two of my favorites. Have a strong appreciation for Hot Space as well, although not in my top 5, most pple, including Roger Taylor, don't like it, but the B sides to that album are fricking amazing.

Not sure how big of a fan you are but there is a book called Queen: All the Songs. Came out after the movie I think. Talks about every track and every album, even B sides. Formation of the band, song writing, recording, everything. Probably an on-line version too. Ok, have a good one!

I will check it out. You have a good one too.

I have both of those and haven't thought of them for years.

I've been listening to Gomez a lot. I forgot how great this album is

It's been a while since I posted in this thread and it says I've posted twice before, so I'm betting I covered Islands by King Crimson - can't remember what the second post was - Maybe Elvis Costello's first album, maybe Photos of Ghosts by PFM (most likely). Anyway, here's this:

Split - The Groudhogs

Truth - The Jeff Beck Group

I once went into a local bar in a town in Lincolnshire and rather unusual they had a band on. I was thinking …this is a bit special, who on earth is this good?

Tony McPhee’s Blues Band apparently, but the still covered a good few of his Groundhogs numbers including Cherry Red.

More recently I was in a small bar in Brighton and very alternative young lady was DJing using and old record player and vinyl collection and yup …Cherry Red. Heaven!

My Aim is True - Elvis Costello

One of the most perfect debut albums of all time. He was backed by Huey Lewis's band Clovers so The Attractions would come into being for his first tour and his second album.

This is the tune I heard on the radio that made me buy the album:

With great songs like Welcome to the Working Week, (The Angels Want to Wear My) Red Shoes, Blame it on Cain, Miracle Man, I'm Not Angry, Mystery Dance, and a big fave of mine, Waiting for the End of the World, this album exploded, catapulting Elvis to fame and the world stage.

"Don't throw out the lifeline 'till they're clean out of reach..."

Not a "perfect album" by any means, but one that I've turned the lights out and enjoyed a drink to a few times is Metallica's S&M.

Zoot Suit Riot: The Swingin' Hits of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies

Yeah, it's easy to call a greatest hits album 'perfect,' but having been a fan for years, CPD albums tended to be a mishmash of genres and styles, like Ska, Punk, and some Big Band Swing, but what stood out (IMO) was their big band stuff. So this album is not only welcome, but includes great new tunes, like Zoot Soot Riot and No Mercy for Swine.

Dios. Back in early 2000s saw these dudes twice in one day. Record store and then at venue. Knew little about them at time. They dressed like they just got out of bed. Maybe some of the cheapest most beat up instruments. They absolutely ripped. Honestly one of best bands I have ever seen. From their self titled debut before Ronnie James Dio sued them and they named changed.
