  • What a great topic!  Thanks for posting this.

    I'm a huge music lover and collector of music on many different formats.  Personally I find that "today's stuff" doesn't really do anything for me.  Maybe it's to do with my hearing sensiitivity and I can hear all the flaws in production, or to the other extreme of it being over produced because the band/artist rely on that in order to make them palletable for the average listener Joy

    Making a definitive "all time list" is difficult because I like so much from so many different genres, however I will list some of my "go to" albums (in no particular order) :

    Forget About It - Alison Kraus
    The Bridge - Billy Joel
    DJ Kicks - Kruder & Dorfmeister
    Sting - .....All This Time
    Joe Cocker - Cocker Happy
    Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams
    Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
    Brand New Heavies - Brother Sister
    West Side Story - Original Soundtrack (conducted by Leonard Bernstein)
    Goldie - Timeless
    Doug Macleod - Exactly Like This
    Liquid Spirit - Gregory Porter
    Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
    Talking Book - Stevie Wonder
    Midnight Blue - Kenny Burrell
    Barber's Adagio For Strings - Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Leonard Berstein
    Everything But The Girl - Walking Wounded
    Deep Forest - Deep Forest
    Riding With The King - Eric Clapton & B.B. King
    Bjork - Debut
    Promise Me - Beverley Craven
    The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill - Lauryn Hill
    Blackstreet - Another Level
    Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic
    Donald Fagen - The Nightfly
    Jamiroquai - Travelling Without Moving
    Phil Colins - ...But Seriously
    Beastie Boys - The In Sound From Way Out!
    Pressure Drop - Toots And The Maytals
    Faithless - Sunday 8pm

    I have to physically stop myself there as I know I will go on and on and bore you all to tears Joy

    If there's anything in there you don't recognise, or you know the barnd/artist but not the alsbum, definately find somewhere to get access to it to give it a listen
