Echo and the Bunnymen, Heaven Up Here. There's just something...I dunno...so heavenly and up there about it.

Salisbury - Uriah Heep, followed closely by Selling England by the Pound - Genesis.

Echo and the Bunnymen?
Sorry Prom I have never heard of them
What sort of genre are they? Are they still around?

God, this is a hard one!  It's a tie between Marvin Gaye's What's Going On and Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key Of Life.

"Songs" is probably a lesser album in comparison to Innervisions but it means a whole heap of stuff to me.

Selling England by the Pound.. some of Genesis's early stuff was great.

I know... I mean Abbey Road is dear to me but I have other albums that are dear friends as well.

Echo and the bunnymen are still around! My favourite is ocean rain though. Let it bleed. Splhcb. Disraeli gears. The White album. Saisbury (good choice Frau koeln) sheik yerbouti.

They're no longer around I'm afraid. They were a fascinating cross between punk and country and western with a bit of jazz thrown in.

Oh god yes.... fantastic album.

We saw e and the bunnymen a couple of years ago!

I know they split up then reformed with a different vocalist. Are they back with McCullough now then?

I saw them with him. However the web site seems to be down. Normally it has mp3 available. Maybe after that brief flurry they are no more?

I must admit I've never thought of Echo and the Bunnymen in those genres but certainly very difficult to pin them down to a specific genre. Certainly Doors influenced with a mixture of Eastern European musical influences is the best I can manage.

Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty has great memories and I like all the tracks - but I have hundreds of albums and tomorrow would probably pick a different favourite

I love Tom Petty

The Bends or Kid A by Radiohead.

I think it might be for the best. Their albums got steadily worse after the third one. They seemed to run out of ideas. Heaven Up Here is still the most atmospheric album I've ever heard though. Fantastic vocals and sparse creative music. I hated it when I first hear it . Now I couldn't live without it.

Guilty, if somewhat indulgent pleasures lurking towards the back of my cd collection:

In the court of the crimson king - King Crimson
Argus - Wishbone Ash
Black Rose - Thin Lizzy
LA Woman - The Doors
Aqualung - Jethro Tull

It's okay I was lying  Definitely a Doors influence and possibly Joy Division too.

I love Radiohead but Kid A... oh dear 

Nope - OK Computer the best IMO

Me too. I actually sat through the first half of the Superbowl a couple of years back just so I could see his half time show.


Must also mention the original soundtrack album of Jesus Christ Superstar with Murray Head as Judas and Ian Gillian as Jesus. Superb, amazing vocals from both.

American Prayer - The Doors, or  Fans - Malcolm McLaren - can't decide between the two .....I've replaced both several times over the years .... and if I could pick a cheeky third it would have to be The Wall.  Lots of albums I love but those three bring back so many memories - they're more than music

I also have Amy Mcdonald's first album - superb every single song. It is up there for me.

I have the original and the live in Berlin on DVD  I must have seen them about 100 times each, and listened to the album way more.
So brilliant

But...Idioteque, what a little masterpiece that is!

Only by the Night Kings of Leon
Purple Rain - Prince
Diamonds and Pearls - Prince
Astral Weeks - Van Morrison
The Cost - The Frames
Thriller - MJ
Recovery - Eminem
Stanley Road - Paul Weller
Hed Kandi and Ministry of Sound stuff
Gawd there's loads!

Manic Street Preachers-The Holy Bible
Jesus And Mary Chain-Darklands
Ryan Adams-Gold
PJ Harvey-Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
Alkaline Trio-From Here To Infirmary

Loads more...I don't have a favourite song either, I have about 500 favourites

Astral Weeks - Van Morrison-Legend has it he wrote and recorded the album in two weeks! Brilliant voice, birlliant lyrics, and the music is sublime. My favourite Track on the album is the album title, "Astral weeks".

Songs in the Key of life-Stevie Wonder Blew my mind the first I heard it...Absolute genius.

Exodus-Bob Marley -At his finest! musically, it's his best album.

Back to Black-Amy Winehouse-The best female voicalist Britain has produced since Dusty Springfield. I hope she sorts herself out and continues to make good albums-Favourite song on the album is, Valerie.

Alica Keys first album Songs in B minor-Brilliant love her cover of Prince's song, "How come you don't call me".

High fiving ya!

And you too Senora! Astral Weeks is my favourite track too

Rastaman Vibration is my favourite Marley album, played it endlessly in my early teens and holds a lot of memories for me.

Lecs - Manic Street Preachers
