It's 11 pm and you can play any one album on the radio. What will that be?

 

I would play ...David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from mars. A truly great album that launched Bowie into superstardom. Not only for my enjoyment, but to let younger listeners hear what a good album sounds like.

 

 

What album would you play? It can be your favourite or possibly one you would want a new generation of people to hear.

Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine

Should be retro or egal?

 

As funny as it may sound :teresa: it will be very difficult for me to choose between:

Beatles - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

and

Mark Owen - How the mighty fall

 

(I really should choose the last one because nobody knows it - while everybody knows the songs of Beatles :wub: ). I would choose also an album of Rufus Wainwright, but as much as i like some of his songs, i don't like a any of his albums as a whole. The one named of Queen is also a legend.

Kate Bush - The Hounds Of Love

 

The Seventh Wave concept 2nd half of the album must be heard in full to be appreciated).

Straight Up - Badfinger (needs a remastered CD though, but it's Apple - they are still prisoners of The Beatles! )

but the added problem you put into the equasion is thats its 11pm so obv you gotta get the vibe really really right...and with bowie it might be the wrong vibe as there might be the sing-a-longa-bility to think about...and personally if theres songs to sing along to might be wrong to listen to it then as personally if i was in my house i would get my dad annoyed for playing music too loud really late into the night and probs have a go at me as the neighbor's would wanna go to sleep at that point...so also no scooter or clubland albums either...

 

i've got a 100 hits of power ballads on at the moment and even thats agreeable background noise thats not really annoying my dad (unlike springsteen the other day :lol: ) think at that point in the night it would probs bore me if i was just listening to it reading my copy of record collector...i was listening to the best of the verve the other night at about 11 and the was boring me at that point as the vibe was wrong...

 

i guess the best vibe would be some old soul - marvin or curtis or something found on something like ace records...but not too nothern souly something more chilled...something that would suit you and everyone else around you... but not something that would send you to sleep if you were a bit tired or bore you if you were hyper and staying up way after your parents had gone to bed...

I think this discussion should go into a 'Brian91's General Music Discussion' area..well obv!!!

New Order - Substance

 

Is that cheating? Every song on it is incredible. Although to be honest Bizarre Love Triangle has aged really badly.

Once you leave the comfort of your parents home and you get your own place, you can play whatever you like at 11pm ;)

Setting Sons by The Jam or Revolver by The Beatles... I'm undecided at the moment...

Aerosmith - Rock

 

One of the most underrated rock/metal albums of the 70's, and ALWAYS overlooked by avid rock fans, even though it was the album which inspired Slash to learn how to play electric guitar and has inspired & influenced many Metallica records.

If it has to be retro...

 

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

 

Otherwise, it'd be Ys by Joanna Newsom or Illinois by Sufjan Sevens.

 

I am indecisive.

erm, thats what this forum is about m8.... :lol:

 

 

but then again they messed up general music area and until they give one to brian91 why not think why not?!?!?

The Clash's London Calling - wouldn't be finished up by midnight though ;)

Alex, stop making your childish comments at my expense. No one was more annoyed than me that you lost your Culture/Specialist forum. At least you posted your amazing threads in one place. I will be the first one to support you getting it back. ;)

 

I do not post churlish comments in your threads so why do you post them in mine?

 

But hey, carry on if it makes you happy. :rolleyes:
