I guess it’s quite difficult to browse some of this stuff for albums. Is there any way of even finding a list of albums that peaked at #2?

 

Although if we each took a period of a few years and went through listing the #2s it wouldn’t take too long. :D

Gutted that no one suggested playing a second Val Doonican song then... :lol:

 

The Beach Boys and Mary Poppins are really the only two on that list that jump out as worthy of having a song played from them so well done to the people who suggested them. Maybe 'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly' too?

Great work Ed. My choice from the no.2 albums for 1969-1971 would be Pinball Wizard by The Who from Tommy. I also echo the previous request for Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul McCartney.

 

I do have that Moody Blues album but they have three no.1s coming up so no need to have an extra song by them.
